We finally got a proper trailer for this beautiful Chrono Trigger and Final Fantasy-inspired JRPG, and it's already one of the prettiest 2D games I've ever seen

Threads of Time, a 2D JRPG described by indie developer Riyo Games as a "love letter" to genre classics like Chrono Trigger and Final Fantasy, just revealed its first gameplay trailer - and it looks downright brilliant.

The trailer was unveiled during today's Xbox showcase at the 2024 Tokyo Game Show, and it ticks all of the old-school JRPG boxes—from its turn-based combat to its vibrant, whimsical world. Threads of Time sees players travel from the past to the present to the future through periods marked by their distinctive features. Fans can expect a little bit of everything as they journey, ranging from futuristic cyberpunk-esque cities to the roaring dinosaurs of the past.
