What to play after experiencing Chrono Trigger?

Left feeling a bit empty after playing it for the first time a few months ago(why did I wait so long?) I am afraid no JRPG will be able to surpass it. Would love to have a discussion about similar games that reach the same quality level (Note: I have already played Final Fantasy VI ).

Sea of Stars JUST dropped.

Sea of Stars

I've heard a lot of vague talk about it. I have Game Pass (which it's one). Does it live up to the hype? It might be my next try if/when I cool on Starfield.

It's directly Chrono Trigger inspired.

If this wasn't !PatientGamers, this'd be a lay up for Sea of Stars, and every comment would just say "Sea of Stars".

What I've heard is that it's very much like Chrono Trigger aesthetics-wise but very different regarding writing quality. Now, a lot of people play JRPGs not necessarily for their plot, story, character motivation/development and quality of prose but for their particular atmosphere crafted by their use of graphics, music, animation/sprites, etc and there's nothing wrong with that, so maybe it will be your vibe

I played the demo and liked it a lot. Beautiful looking game that feels good to control. The only reason I'm not playing the full game is that I feel like I owe Baldur's Gate III my attention, since I so rarely buy new games :p
