@@odjrin My main problem with them is that they dont have the gameplay or depth to last their overall runtimes. Muramasa Rebirth's Dlc short stories are the best vanillaware games because theyre brief and Odin sphere(which is easily the worst out of the bunch) is the worlds most gorgeous repetitive slog. Cant comment too much on Dragons crow as i never had the desire to actually finish it(which is a problem in and of itself). Vanillaware games either need more variety and depth or to be half as long as they are cause they get boring REALLY fast. Tl;dr Having games that are both long AND repetitive is a bad mix.

It's actually very similar to another Vanillaware game called Grand Knights History.

This cast leans more on the older side (save for the kid). I'm all for it. And I'm so glad turn based and strategy JRPGs are making a comeback because for a while they all either turned into action games or remained in Japan only.

Looks like a mix of Child of Light-Odin Sphere and I definitely like it.

This game looks really interesting, tbh. I’ll be keeping an eye on this one

Not only am I interested in the game, but if there's an "Art and Lore of Astria Ascending" book that comes out, I would totally buy it. It has a lovely painterly art style, and the fantasy races are not your typical elf/dwarf/orc fare, which is refreshing. Like, I have no idea what sort of being that is at 1:43, but just by looking at it, I'm extremely curious about its culture and lore. That's good character design. Here's hoping this game is as much of a winner as the trailer seems to indicate.
