Edge of Eternity Pre-Alpha Demo

Edge of Eternity Pre-Alpha Demo - Samantha Lienhard

Like Cosmic Star Heroine, one of my most-anticipated games of 2015, the new Kickstarter project Edge of Eternity got my attention because it’s described as a tribute to classic JRPGs. The indie developer is even named Midgar Studio, and while that could be a reference to Norse mythology’s Midgard, chances are good it’s a shout-out to the city of Midgar from a certain JRPG.

Edge of Eternity includes the work of Yasunori Mitsuda, who composed music for games like Chrono Trigger, Xenogears, Chrono Cross, Xenosaga, Soul Sacrifice, and Kid Icarus: Uprising, among others.

I love the idea of a new JRPG like this, although its description of itself as open world disappoints me. On the other hand, some people use “open world” to just mean games with lots of open areas, and I will try an open world game that appeals to me enough.

Best of all, there’s an Edge of Eternity demo available from the Kickstarter page. I downloaded it to see what it was all about, and you can watch my demo playthrough below in three parts.
