About this episode
The episode discusses the indie JRPG Sea of Stars, its influences, and its potential shortcomings.
Sea of Stars is a highly-acclaimed indie JRPG that takes cues from some of the greatest in the genre from the 90s and early aughts. But can it stand on its own in 2026? A game ripe with potential, the guys talk about their experience with the game and discuss what could have been better in this indie darling.
