Between Kuja from FF9, the protag from Vagrant Story with his assless chaps and the male protag from FF12, Square was very fond of barely-dressed dudes in the late 90s and early 2000s

The game here is Threads of Fate, a 1999 platformer/light action RPG from Square. I’d never even heard of it until I saw it highlighted in one of Sean Seanson’s videos. Visually, it’s pure late 90s PS1 Square greatness, with gorgeous and colourful graphics, with the character models looking especially lovely chefs-kiss

The soundtrack is very nice as well as expected, and playing this I’m once again reminded of how much I love the sound effects in PS1 Square games. Instead of samples, every single sound is some type of synthetic chirp or warble from the PS1 sound chip.

    I recently noticed how important eye and head towards the player can feel movements can be especially with minecraft mobs. So cool you mention the eye-tracking behavior, this is the attention to detail I like from devs.
