About Forever Home
Throughout our lives the moments we share with others paint bold strokes across our canvas of memories. They define our personality, our existence, and shape our futures. Our greatest desire is to find that moment, that perfect instance, we wish to relive forever. That moment, no matter where you are or what you're feeling, is home.
After a series of tragic events, our hero Xero and his best friends are thrown from their homes into the middle of a war between nations. A general on one side of the conflict obtains an incredible power and then goes rogue, threatening humanity's very existence. The future of the planet is in danger and the only way to save it may involve killing your best friend.
Forever Home is a retro RPG developed over 13 years that takes inspiration from SNES and PS1 classics. The battle system is influenced from Squaresoft style action turn-based systems such as Final Fantasy VI or Chrono Trigger. It uses a skill learning system similar to Grandia II and the Final Fantasy VII Materia system. Forever Home includes item and weapon crafting, monster catching, a rank based Colosseum, and numerous side quests.
The 30+ hour character driven narrative contains a deeply emotional and adult-oriented story mixing tragedy and heartache with overcoming personal adversities and lighthearted humor. The theme focuses on the meaning of survival and finding a place you can call home. A powerful original soundtrack mixing classical instruments with alternative drums and guitar helps push the mood.
Key Features:
- 30+ hour main story
- 30+ hours of sidequests
- Weapon / Armor / Item crafting
- Turn-based combat with a modern take on action-time systems
- Challenging boss battles requiring well-thought-out strategies
- No missables, meaningful sidequests, and player-influenced design
- Retro style world map with ship and airship travel
- Powerful original soundtrack
Cons:
- You might cry a lot

✦ AI summary
Forever Home is praised for its engaging turn-based combat system, deep story with genuine twists, charming character development, and substantial content offering 30-40+ hours of gameplay that appeals to classic JRPG fans. However, players commonly criticize the slow pacing with overly long dungeons and dialogue sequences, dated RPG Maker graphics, occasionally unclear objectives, and protagonists who can feel unlikeable despite their depth.
Top tier RPGmaker game, alongside Last Dream and Knight Bewitched. My only quibble is that a solitary achievement requires a second (new game+) playthrough - if you're going to require a new game+ stompfest to Perf, at least load a few more achievements to make it feel like something is being accomplished.
Forever Home has great gameplay, a fantastic story, and a surprising amount of content. However, it's incredibly slow and outdated. I genuinely fell asleep twice trying to finish it because the pacing is so boring. If you're a fan of classic turn-based RPGs, you'll probably love it. Otherwise, don't even try. Despite its flaws, I still recommend it.
One of the top Pixel RPGs i have played, its amazing
insanely good so far, would 100% recommend, probably the best rpg maker rpg ive played so far
Love this game a lot. Just doing the side stuff now before I have to fight a crazed genocidal warlord, but I absolutely love how deep the story is, how dark the game can get at times, and the amazing character depth of the two main characters along with Slash. The only con is its hideous RPGmaker graphics, but if you can endure them, then you are in for a ride and a half.
[h1]I came for the time travel, stayed for the combat[/h1] I love a good turn-based JRPG, and this is one. The battle system kept me on my toes throughout since you can choose what abilities you learn through points and crafting items. There were several genuine twists that made me gasp. It was definitely worth my time. Downside- I really didn't like the characters very much. The two main characters are both kind of a-holes. The main guy delights on several occasions in being cruel to people. The dungeons were also very long slogs. Both of these problems could have been solved with more banter during and after dungeons to give us more opportunities to relate to the characters. If you like tsunderes, time travel, explosions, ATB combat, and a game with over 40 hours of content, this is your game!
