Sorry for the bad take! I didn't play many JRPGs or JRPG inspired games this year, as I usually find those more story led and have less room for roleplay. Does sea of stars actually have much roleplay? Or is it mostly combat/ability focused choice-making?

It's ok, rereading your comment I see what you mean more about the roleplay aspect not being there. You aren't wrong... I'd say the roleplaying in these style of games is mostly in which characters you use the most.

"Role playing games" is a pretty broad reaching term with many aspects. Some are just lighter on the choices or character customization is all. These games are more about the story and level/skill progression.

Sea of Stars definitely fits that mold you are talking about, not a ton of roleplaying in the making choices sense. It is a great game though, I'd say it's my favorite of the year.

Makes sense! Yeah I have kind of slowed my roll on things that are JRPG or JRPG adjacent, probably from less time to play stuff mostly. I keep hearing how awesome Sea of Stars is though!
