![]() *takes a few steps and turns back* If she is still alive, that is. Once we are done, I shall return the girl to our client. Your job will be to exterminate any monsters we encounter along the way. Our mission is to recover a young girl who has been kidnapped by monsters. So everyone will just use Endir’s name, instead of dodging around the altered title like certain other RPGs I could name… The only spoken dialogue is a few combat barks, which all remain in Japanese. This game, being a RPG hearkening back to roleplaying games of old, is almost entirely text based. We’ll be sticking with everyone’s default names, for better or worse. I am Setsuna, staying true to its old school RPG roots, allows us to rename our party members. I will be working with you on this mission. It’s gonna be one of those kinda days…Ī bearded man with similar clothing to the first fellow wanders out from behind the trees… Our late night stroll is interrupted by a tactical wetsuit clad man passing our field of vision, sending the entire base on alert and immediately jamming the radar. I wouldn’t mind trading places with this fellow for a bit… At the time of the writing of this update, it’s the middle of one of the hottest summers in recorded history and my electric bill is being destroyed by constant air conditioning use. We begin our tale taking a quiet, nighttime walk through the snow covered woods. There are some bits where it absolute does and others where it feels like the scene is going to turn into a ragtime silent movie gag. There’s some real good music but ehh… Your mileage may vary as to whether that music choice works. By the way, I hope you all enjoy piano music! I am Setsuna’s soundtrack is composed entirely of just piano pieces. Sorry, there’s no flashy introduction sequence.

NO SPOILERS!! NOT EVEN IN TAGS! SHEESH! Given its short length, it is fairly briskly paced. It’s in the ballpark of 20-25 hours, all optional end game content included. I am Setsuna is not a particularly long game, despite harkening back to an age where RPGs could just easily go on for 80 hours just cuz. ![]() ![]() If anything, the game's actual plot and tone is a lot closer to Final Fantasy X. This isn't exactly a lighthearted adventure. Though really, the gameplay and aesthetics is where the similarities to Chrono Trigger end and if you look for anything beyond that, you're barking up the wrong tree. Also go play Chrono Trigger if you haven't already. Granted, I’d consider Chrono Trigger to be the best RPG ever so… you know, I’m not going to blame any game for falling short of that. I’d call it an interesting failure to live up to what it was going for, in the end. But it definitely has some severe issues. Nor is it terrible by any means! I liked it well enough and I've hated most every RPG since the early 2000s. Some conventions of RPGS of old were meant to be left in the past. Not that emulating a beloved classic RPG is entirely a good thing. Indeed, this game plays like more of a Chrono Trigger successor than Chrono Cross ever did. This game is trying very, very hard to emulate Chrono Trigger. It’s the first game released by Tokyo RPG Factory, a studio created by Square-Enix specifically to pop out some new franchises styled after old school styled RPGs. ![]() I am Setsuna is a JRPG developed by Tokyo RPG Factory and published by Square-Enix July 19th, 2016 for the Playstation 4 and PC.
