So let me preface this by saying I absolutely loved everything about sea of stars. The music, the gameplay, the characters. Everything is perfect… except for the story.

I just finished sea of stars along with getting the true ending for the game and I have to say that the story is one of the most mid JRPG stories I have seen in a while. Even with the true ending it leaves much to be desired not to mention the plot hole of the timelines converging back into one that I haven’t really seen anyone mention yet. The fleshmancer clearly states during the time freeze scene again the dweller of strife that once he’s defeated the timelines will converge back into but that’s never again addressed for the rest of the story.

Not to mention the fact that Resh’an just abandoned the party for no apparent reason other than he discovered the fleshmancer was doing his experiments earlier than previously known? Which also is never addressed again as to what that even means. Add that all on top of a very anticlimactic ending and the story feels like it just brings the game down a lot. Aphorul just leaves with Resh’an with no other consequences? It just feels like there was no point in the anythjng we’ve done up till that point and it just falls flat to me.

I enjoyed the story up until the very end because I feel like it just falls flat and makes the story feel pointless the way the fleshmancer just leaves like nothing happened.

I’m curious as to what everyone’s thoughts on the story was?
