lrt: for those who understandably checked out years ago, Unsung Story was purchased from the original devs by a contract studio who saw a chance to make a name for themselves by salvaging a project thought impossible to salvage... and they're kinda doing it? somehow?
I say "kinda" because most of the high-profile JP devs touted by the original studio are not involved & the game as it currently exists is a very loose interpretation of their initial concepts, but they've been very earnest and transparent & I can't help but root for em
the obvious difference with their version is the art style— Yoshida is not only uninvolved but the original devs burned him so hard that the new team deliberately chose a radically different art style so as to completely erase all suspicion that they're using any of his old work
...and so it now looks like low-budget western fantasy, which nobody asked for & few seem to like, but ppl have come to respect it to some degree because the situation is weird & it's a miracle anything's happening at all
