I guess while we're all hyping up our requisite 2023 picks. This one (after the demo) has certainly migrated up the list for me.
A "classic" JRPG style that actually seems to grasp the appeal of said classics (unlike Square's own woeful I am Setsuna, which copied the basic mechanics of a Chrono Trigger onto some dull brooding bland mess).
The demo certainly managed to hit the gameplay notes, mixing up elements from Crono Trigger, Super Mario RPG, Secret of Mana (though not in real time) and I forget which game had that interrupt system beffore (I want to say Golden Sun). While the story hasn't been really touched out in depth, the little side glimpses in the demo were neat, and the trailer seems to have an appropriate sense of the fantastical.
