Created by a small startup group in New York called Horizons End, The Great Gaias is a story-driven PC role playing game designed for lifelong lovers of the classical styled JRPG genre. Horizons End likens their gameplay to classics such as Chrono Trigger, Xenogears and the Final Fantasy series. In addition to the typical JRPG gameplay, it uses other ideas from games like Wizardry and Elder Scrolls series: skills are used-based. The more you use a certain skill, the better you get at it. The battle system can be switched from active time to turn-based. There are 13 classes to choose from and there is no true leader in the party. There is an interesting crafting system as well as an idea to build-your-own-city. The final game is slated to have 60 hours of gameplay.
This game really interested me when I saw it on Kickstarter because it seems like an ambitious stray from the typical JRPG yet still embraces what the classics have to offer. It is a small Kickstarter with a $25,000 goal but these guys seem pretty talented.
After being boned by the Kobe beef jerky scam on Kickstarter, this seems like a fresh of breath air.
