People of Note

As someone that played in band through school and some in college. on top of having friends that have their own bands, or learned music theory. I fell in love with this game. From the story to the music, to just the little things in this game. It shows how much love was put into the game. I would love to see more with this game world, or more people to try making musical RPGs.

Best end credits ever

Bought this on a whim from a Discord recommendation and completely fell in love. I put nearly 25 hours into it in less than a week, hit 100% completion, and I'm genuinely sad the ride is over. The Music: The full-on musical cutscenes are stunning, but even the standard battle themes and area tracks refuse to leave my head. You can feel the love put into every note. The Puzzles: Interesting and unique puzzles at every turn. If you aren't a puzzle person, you can actually turn them off in the accessibility menu, which is a great feature, but I personally loved them. The Story: The character writing is deeply layered. The game gives you sympathetic, emotionally complex antagonists with clashing ideologies that will genuinely keep you invested in the long term. The Vibe: It's a shorter, tightly paced indie RPG that packs more heart and soul into 24 hours than some AAA games do in a hundred. (Also, do yourself a favor and watch the end credits all the way through... it's the first time in a while I genuinely had fun sitting through a game's entire credit roll!) An absolute masterpiece. The songs will live in my head rent-free for eternity.

Very music nerdy. So many puns. Light and entertaining. The combat is strategic without being stressful.

[H1]Cozy, but STILL GOOD[/H1] I like JRPGs, and I love musical fantasy premises (which we don't get nearly enough of), so the moment I knew of People of Note I knew it had to be a month-1 purchase, even if the chosen color palette would usually be a red flag for someone like me... and some minutes into the game, I did verify that this was, indeed, a "cozy game" HOWEVER... considering how much the genre has scaled-down over the last 20 years, cozying this one up didn't do any more damage than Squeenix already did, nor it kept me from squeezing a good 70 hours of fun out of it. Combat is easy, but still engaging enough to be entertaining (and fortunately so are the puzzles, since I can't do one proper puzzle to save my life). As expected, this game is also a Rock Opera, and as such is all a bit silly, a bit corny, and a bit cringey at times, but if you enjoy musicals or are otherwise able to not take yourself too seriously, I guarantee you'll enjoy every minute of the game. The story is enjoyable and the world building got buy-in from me from the get-go, also I love the game's sense of humor and how they crammed more musical references per square inch in than Jojo's Bizarre Adventure. The characters are all well written and well rounded, and most of the cast wrecked their life at one point and for them the game is their journey of redemption. The composer of this musical is no Mitch Leigh, but his work is sufficient. Could the game have had more musical numbers? Maybe, but this is probably what the budget allowed for so I won't hold it against them. Could it have had actual metal coming from the resident rocker? Maybe, but unless you're born in Sweden or are older than 50 chances are won't know what actual metal sounds like, so I won't hold it against the composer. This is still a solid game offering a fun time, and perfectly worth the entrance fee (definitely LOTS better than say, FF 16). Try it when you can.

Friend of mine made a bunch of music for this game. Lots of silly music plays on words, interesting battle system thats secretly a puzzle game, and some great QoL built in (Like random battles only happen when you push the random battle button -- letting you choose). Fundo and recommend.

Este juego es INCREÍBLE. Me llamó muchísimo la atención el tráiler y decidí darle un try, la mejor decisión del mundo. PROS: - El juego está traducido a español (textos) y está localizado INCREÍBLE. De verdad, las referencias, los chistes, todo todo TODO. Increíble trabajo por parte del equipo de traducción y localización. - Los diseños de los escenarios, enemigos y personajes son muy muy chulos, todos son super creativos y llaman muchísimo la atención. Le ponen muchísimo cariño a todo, a que todo siga la temática de la música, y eso me encantó. - Las canciones... wow. Todos los números musicales son una pasada, el primero ya me dejó boquiabierto, sintiendo una euforia interna emocional preciosa. - La música en general es increíble, las canciones como digo pero también los temas de combate, los remixs, las músicas de exploración. Muchísima variedad de música, estilos, etc. Además todos los mixs con sus toques. - Los combates pueden parecer simples al empezar, pero el juego tiene montón de combinaciones de skills y modificadores, yo he disfrutado muchísimo haciéndome todos los combos que quería. - La historia aunque no es una cosa loquísima innovativa es muy bonita y disfrutable, una historia digna de rpg vamos. - Los puzzles me resultaron super interesantes y algunos son realmente quebraderos de cabeza (especialmente alguno de combate). CONTRAS: - He jugado en mando y en ocasiones si cambiaba a ratón el juego se quedaba pillado y resultaba muy ortopédico. Además de que si tenía otro juego abierto de fondo, se pisaba con los controles y no bloqueaba los controles solo para este. - He echado en falta un poquito más de desarrollo de personaje, entiendo que el juego es corto y las cosas tienen que ir pasando más rápido etc. Pero simplemente como mejora. ----------------------- Jugadlo, de verdad.
