History VideoGame / HoshiWoMiruHito

* PersonOfMassDestruction: Arguably applies to the whole party, but especially in Minami's case. His power allows you to destroy obstacles in the team's way.

In May 2020, it was revealed that the game would receive a digital UpdatedRerelease on the UsefulNotes/NintendoSwitch in the summer later that year, and was released worldwide on July 30th. The re-release did remain Japan-only, however, which is probably for the best.

* GenkiGirl: What Aine is implied to be in the Famicom version, and what she is in both ''STARGAZER'' and ''Romancing [=StellaVisor=].

* BorderOccupyingDecorations: The Switch release fills the leftover space with a wallpaper that has pixel art or illustrations of the playable characters and space.

* ObviousBeta: Try playing this and tell us this isn't the case.

''Hoshi wo Miru Hito'' is known as [[FanNickname "densetsu no kusoge"]] (伝説のクソゲー), translating to [[http://www.hardcoregaming101.net/hoshi-wo-miru-hito/ "legendary shitty game"]], and for good reason. It would take an entire wiki (or at least a whole page) in and of itself to cover all the glaring flaws this game has to offer, but... [[SoBadItsGood that's how the Japanese fans like it]]. A patch was actually released to balance the game and improve the graphics, and there even exists a FanRemake that actually takes advantage of the story, adds some clever puzzles, and makes the gameplay more akin to the ''VideoGame/{{SaGa|RPG}}'' series.

!!Both games provide examples of:
* BarrierMaiden: What Misa is to the party. She's the only one in the group who can cross damage floors without taking damage. Not particularly useful in the Famicom game, but needed in the remake. One [[http://www.nicovideo.jp/watch/sm17887619 TAS]] of the game totally ignores picking up Misa in the first place!
* GenkiGirl: What Aine is implied to be in the Famicom version, and what she is in the PC remake.

* MultipleEndings: Both games. In the Famicom game's case, it was actually an early example (or would have been, if anyone could've gotten to the endings without direct external assistance) of such a thing happening at all. [[spoiler:Also, at least one ending is missing: the final battle with the Commander Dolphin wasn't actually programmed in and you automatically lose if you choose the "battle the cetaceans" option.]]

!!The remake provides examples of:
* NewAndImproved: This remake over the original, obviously.

* YouGottaHaveBlueHair: Minami's hair is a dark blue, though the rest of the party has a rainbow of unusually vibrant colors as well... Shiba's hair is green, Misa's is pink, and Aine's is orange.

* LuckBasedMission: Being able to progress past the beginning of the game is a huge matter of luck, as dying brings you back to the title screen, and the password "save" system doesn't work properly, only saving your level in multiples of 4, so you have to be able to survive up to level 4 before you can actually save any real progress. Then when you're trying to struggle to level 4, you have to hope you find the less threatening enemies who won't immediately kill you and that your attacks actually do damage (which with you starting so weak, can randomly do no damage at this point), or if you do find the more threatening enemies like the Returners and Salamanders, hope that they don't use their most dangerous attacks like the Returners' Psychic moves that deal more damage than your starting HP and the Salamander's 100% accurate paralysis move. Anyone trying to play the original without save states will probably have to restart the game several times before they can finally get a lucky enough run that allows them to survive up to level 4 to retain any progress upon death.

* PasswordSave: How the game would save your progress, if it worked correctly.
