Overall, the whole thing was strongly infused with the sort of sense of "cool" you'd expect of a teen- to college-aged fan of Japanese animation and video games in the 2000s, if that makes sense.

I can't say for sure if it did or didn't I just don't recall anything that would concretely specify one way or the other, though my impression was that the setting was original. The locations on display gave me similar vibes to Final Fantasy VII: Advent Children's depiction of the wasteland surrounding Midgar/Edge, but I don't actually recall the game being said to take place in Final Fantasy VII's world. The main protagonist (described under "Notable Characters") was being pursued by soldiers, I think he had escaped the custody of whatever group the soldiers served? In particular, a scene where he's confronted by soldiers from that faction in a desert canyon and proceeds to wipe the floor with them sticks out in my mind. Other details: I recall the scenes showcased in the trailer taking place in desert terrain. A "classic third-person turn-based JRPG", I suppose. In general, it seemed to be largely the same type of JRPG as the first nine or ten Final Fantasy titles, the Dragon Quest series, etc. Notable gameplay mechanics: For a certain value of "notable" I vaguely recall the preview battle showcasing ATB combat akin to Final Fantasies IV through IX, with the same sort of display as IV through VI on account of being 2D, but I'm not positive. I recall these numbers carrying roughly the same weight they usually do in classic Final Fantasy. He started out very strong, with four-digit HP and dealing four-digit damage. He had roughly shoulder-length (maybe a little shorter) red or auburn hair in a surprisingly grounded style, and a dusty brown cloak, and was going to be something of an antihero or villain protagonist according to the trailer. Notable characters: Only one (presumably-)named character I can recall the central protagonist of the game, or at least the focal character of the trailer who was talked up as such. I want to say the proportions were similar to something like Chrono Trigger or the two SNES Mana games, though the art style was noticeably different. It had a similar sort of look to the sort of rough-ish non-commercial pixel art of the time (2000s). Graphics/art style: 16-bit pixel art think SNES, Genesis, GBA, etc. Genre: Turn-based JRPG Estimated year of release: I actually don't know if the game got released I think what I saw was a YouTube preview trailer for a work in progress, but I can say that that was almost certainly from the 2000s. The game was from sometime in the 2000s, though I can't remember with much more specificity than that. I hope it's alright if I just copy and paste the description here. I posted this on r/tipofmyjoystick, too, but I figure I may have better luck posting it in a place specifically for helping dig up old RPG Maker titles, which this game definitely at least had the look of, though I can't say with confidence whether it was actually made with any RPG Maker engine.
