Preview of Sea of Remnants: Blending Sea of Thieves Piracy with Persona 5 Style—Does It Go Beyond Aesthetic?

Okay, so here’s the deal: I spent, like, way too many hours playing the earliest version of this pirate RPG called Sea of Remnants, and I’m not even sure what to think yet. Seriously, my brain is a bit fried. For starters, the turn-based combat kinda felt like… partially baked bread? It’s there, but oh boy, it’s raw. Maybe it’s supposed to be like that, or it’s just super unfinished. Either way, it’s kinda reminded me of a complex MMO, with vendors and upgrades everywhere. And don’t get me started on the story—no English voice acting, relying on iffy subtitles. But honestly, the style? Absolutely insane. It’s like it had me glued to the screen. The animations? Hilarious in a good way, made me chuckle like a hyena. Okay, where was I? Right… So yeah, it’s a rough gem, but could totally shine bright by 2026-ish, whenever that happens.

Let’s quickly talk about all the things crammed into this game. First off, it’s living somewhere in the same water as Sea of Thieves. Pirates, islands, treasure—classic stuff. But then it throws in a wrench because, suddenly, we’re dealing with, like, a zillion recruitable pirate buddies. RPG meets MMO meets—wait… what’s happening? I was often just sitting there, wondering, ‘Is this really happening right now?’ And then, bam, monkey boss takes a turn as a pirate captain. How awesome is that?

Anyway—ugh, sidetracking again—here’s the thing, it didn’t matter how much it fumbled around like a clumsy buccaneer, it consistently stayed interesting. Oh, but here’s a kicker: puppets. All the characters. Why?? But, hey, it worked somehow. Plus, the punk vibe is strong with this one—graffiti everywhere, teenagers acting out like they skipped school to swashbuckle. Heads up, the performance was a bit of a mess. Bugs popping up left and right, so consider this a super early peek, nothing polished yet.

So what do we make of this mad mix? No clue. It’s like if the developers threw all their crazy ideas into a blender without a lid, and the result splattered all over the place. But it’s got charm. Unique charm, even. Will it mesh into something genius? Who knows? But I’m so ready to find out. Pirate chaos has my attention—whether it’s going to sail through smoothly or crash hilariously, I’m onboard for the ride. And I’m really curious how they’ll wrangle multiplayer into this already chaotic stew. Until then, I’m just anticipating—and hoping to be gobsmacked. Til then, stay tuned for more unpredictable pirate shenanigans. Wherever this bonkers ship is headed, it’s gonna be a trip!
