People of Note

Meilleur générique de fin ever !

Estou escrevendo isso logo após terminar o jogo. Me diverti MUITO. Estava mega ansioso pra jogar desde que vi um vídeo no YouTube que mostrou ser um jogo que unia duas das minhas coisas favoritas na vida - JRPGs e Musicais. E foi realmente isso que eu encontrei aqui. A história não é super complexa e profunda, é uma aventura de sessão da tarde sobre estar tudo bem não conseguir fazer tudo sozinho, e que ter amigos verdadeiros te faz alcançar coisas bem maiores. Mas é daquelas que aquecem o coração e fazem vc terminar o jogo com um sorriso no rosto. É um jogo bem bonito, a direção de arte é muito bem feita, e os aspectos de JRPG, embora simples, ainda permitem um pouco de experimentação. O fato de vc não precisar gerenciar recursos - o HP volta pro máximo no início de cada combate, e não existem itens consumíveis - faz tudo ficar bem "direto ao ponto", é uma simplificação que não é necessariamente ruim. Ah, e se vc conhecer um pouco de teoria musical e música em geral, é bastante divertido reparar nas CENTENAS de trocadilhos espalhados pelo jogo nos nomes de lugares, de personagens, as habilidades, os itens, TUDO nesse jogo é um trocadilho com música. E isso dá um toque bem bacana pro jogo. As músicas, na sua maioria, são muito boas. O tema principal da protagonista, a música do vilão da cidade de Chordia, o dueto dela com um certo personagem que não vou dizer por conta de spoilers, e a música do final, são MUITO boas. As outras são passáveis, embora sejam um pouco clichê. No geral, achei a trilha sonora do jogo muito boa. Enfim, em suma é isso. Falando como alguém que joga JRPGs há mais de 20 anos e é aficcionado por musicais, esse é um jogo muito divertido que me entreteve bastante por umas 25 horas, e q eu vou lembrar com carinho na minha lista de jogos de 2026. Se vc me perguntar "ah, mas esse jogo é o herdeiro de Rhapsody?" (os veteranos de JRPG vão saber do que eu estou falando), eu vou falar que não. E eu nem acho que é a ideia aqui. Ele é um jogo que não tenta ser uma obra-prima, ele tenta ser divertido, bonito e te entregar de forma honesta um par de dezenas de horas pra vc se entreter. E ele cumpre essa tarefa com bastante sucesso :)

Задумка у игры великолепная: поп исполнительница хочет выиграть песенный конкурс, но ей для победы нужно отправиться в путешествие и узнать другую музыку. Первым она встречает рок музыканта — он классно дополняет её, очень смешно само противостояние хард рока и кантри, далее электронщика и под конец рэпера. Сюжет изначально простой становится всё более условным, с каждым следующим героем как мотивация, так и само звучание всё менее логичны и гармоничны Геймплейно это JRPG, где сюжет передаётся просто в диалогах: набираем уровни, применяем заклинания, комбинируем найденные артефакты, стандартные атака-лечение-бафы, с боссами на 3 уровне сложности бывает реально тяжело, но главная беда, что бои не разнообразные и долгие Здорово, что добавили разные опциональные типы загадок как боевые, так и с уникальными механиками. Хорошо разнообразит игровой процесс Визуально лоуполи как окружение, так и персонажи, порой общий вид локации хорош, но в целом простенько. Дизайн монстров "музыкальный", но порой выглядит дико и глупо, персонажи удались лучше, сразу понятен музыкальный стиль Самое яркое это катсцены: номера из мюзикла, опять таки в разных музыкальных стилях. Визуально простенько, но спето хорошо, а сама идея так вообще восторг! Пройти до конца сил не хватило, бросил на 7 главе из 9, очень долгие душные бои, а совсем выключить сложность ради истории нет мотивации, так как сама история супер простая и очевидная Первые часы восторг, часов после 5 норм, на 10 часу устаёшь, через 13 часов я дропнул, думаю там часа 3-4 до финала

I’ll start with a major flaw, which is the combat system. The system itself is actually quite decent, but the amount of health the enemies had really wore me down mentally, which meant I usually skipped the battles. Boss fights could also be exhausting and would trap you in a loop of healing/defence → attack, chipping away at the enemy’s health endlessly, turn after turn. Everything else was brilliant in my view; the puzzles were genuinely thought-provoking, and the characters and dialogue were very well written and performed, which meant that, unlike the combat, I had absolutely no desire to skip them. The musical side was, in my view, of a very high standard; there were even a few tracks I added to my playlist. Unlike *Stray Gods*, the music here hit the nail on the head. Huge respect for the end credits – you could really feel the same passion in them as you did whilst playing the game. Special congratulations to Annapurna – yet another gem you’ve unearthed. You’re becoming the best publisher I know.

Absolute banger!! You can tell this game was made by a really passionate team, with tons of and talent and hard work. It's not perfect, and it's pretty small-scale (get it? scale?) as far as RPGs go, but that's what I like these days anyway with my busy adult schedule. This game really ticks all my boxes -- JRPGs, turn-based combat, casual rhythm games, puzzles, puns! I liked the visual style, the background music, even the menus are well-designed. Everything is music-themed to the extreme, it really ties everything together. It is kinda kitschy at times, the songs especially were a little on the cringey side (aside from a couple songs I liked), and the plot is really basic. But overall it's just full of charm. Absolutely worth finishing all the way to the end credits.

good 8/10 game. considering it is priced at ~20 euros, it packs quite some content. music and world building were deliberately built together and are the core of the experience, especially the soundtrack was thoroughly crafted and is rich in nuances. the core gameplay is inspired by the earliest RPGs like FFIX and such, but without the grinding and more elaborated interactions. there is enough "not to get bored" and create some combos and strategies, but definitely is not the most fleshed system out there (-> if you are looking mainly for a sophisticated gameplay you will be disappointed). also the story and character itneractions/arcs suffer from the relatively short game time, the essential beats are there but they are too much out in the open because there is no time for proper character development. another thing that may be relevant for some people, is that this game is very "safe": if it were a cartoon, it could be aired in the time slot for kids between 10- 14 with no issues. this didn't bother me and I would not list as a negative, but to some players the "coziness" is a deterrent, so here it is, just know what you buy. despite these factors, the overall writing is very smart, I appreciated how they captured the quirks of the various genres and the puns were not filling gaps, they were cheesy and laid out with purpose. regardless of those three points, I didn't find bugs or poorly executed ideas, it was a very good experience that I would recommend to anyone looking for a different twist to the classic (90s) RPG formula.

Gran juego, estéticamente es muy bonito y es muy original el cómo usan la música y la nomenclatura durante todo el juego (ya sea a la hora de describir cosas o en los nombres de los monstruos). Sin duda lo recomiendo.

I absolutely love this game! The world feels alive and lived in with rich lore, beautiful environments, and creative wildlife. The characters all feel like genuine people and I got so attached to the main crew that I was actually disappointed when I reached the end of the game. I wanted more time with them! And the music! Each of the main genres is given so much love and spotlight, and on top of that every battle track has alternate remix versions that can play to buff specific band members. There's even fully animated music videos for some of the songs! Everything in Note ties back to music somehow! The combat is incredibly fun as well. You can decide turn order for your party and have any of them do whatever in any of your available spots, and that combined with being able to customize your party's abilities and being able to see what your enemies are going to do leads to some very unique battles and strategizing. I did encounter a few bugs here and there (mostly environmental pieces trapping me, odd interactions when several events happen at once in rare circumstances, stuff like that) but nothing major and nothing that impacted my enjoyment of the game at all. I cannot recommend this game enough and it's been one of the best "this looks neat, I'll give it a shot" purchases I've ever made (I loved it so much I bought it on two different platforms!). If the trailers, screenshots, anything at all about this game catch your attention or seem like something you may like, please give it a try! It's a pure joy to experience from start to finish!
