Priced too high, but yeah I'll probably pick it up on sale sometime. I like what I've seen of it.

Absolutely! I would have wanted it portable but I heard unity runs like hot shit on a summer day on vita. So PC it is.
I also heard it's about twenty hours long which is a perfect time length.

I was kind of excited when they said in a press conference: "regarding Project Setsuna, we'd like to announce we have nothing to announce about it", when was that? in E3 2015?
Anyways, when they finally showed the game it didn't look as great as I thought it would be so I think I'll wait a little before deciding if I want to play it or not.

Definitely going to get it -- in the mood for a throwback jrpg with an elegiacal style.
Moving mid-July, too, and starting a new job late August, so going to be a good time for a smaller game.

Yeah, I decided to pre-order it off GMG for 30.

44$ CDN is way too much for it.
Especially when people in the JP thread said game was really short and easy.
I'll get it on sale for sure though.

I honestly wish there were more 20-hour JRPGs on the market.
Short is not the problem, but the lack of challenge is....

Do you get the digital pre order bonuses immediately? EU PSN btw

iirc the import impressions weren't super positive. The game is supposed to be good/alright but nothing that really gets me excited. I remember reading that the locations are very similar between each other. That's shame because Chrono Trigger has really good variety of environments.
So keeping an eye on the game but probably skipping it. I have unopened copy of Tokyo Mirage Session which probably fills my JRPG hunger.

Being digital only pretty much killed my hype, I'll pick it up in a sale.

Even though it has middling impressions I'm still super excited for it; finally a new JRPG that really appeals to me.
Bought day one just to show support, please SE take this further.

I kind of dig the idea, makes the game look very thematic. Will have to see for myself though if it gets tiring or not

Not really. As someone that has enjoyed multiple older JRPGs, I felt nothing looking at Setsuna.

is it getting a physical release?
I played what I assume is the intro at E3, it was like an hour long. The game looks really nice and appealing, seems to have some depth with the combat and customization of character abilities. I think I liked it, I will check it out probably when it releases. It really did feel like it would've been a perfect handheld game though.
A bit hyperbolic considering its not even out yet, eh?

What have the complaints from Japan been aside from lack of environmental variety?
I like visiting different environments in rpgs, but I also like the idea of a more environmentally coherent and consistent rpg, particularly if it's short.

seriously!! the 100+ hour ones can be such a grind.

Cant seem to find/download the free themes. When I preordered I was just given the screen that tells you how long until it unlocks and that was it

This is definitely a selling point for me as well.

I was hype for a Vita release from the moment it debuted, but as is I'm drowning in games and taking it on any time soon at full price would be foolish of me.

Of course, though it's mainly because July is a pretty dry month.
Not a fan of it being digital-only (especially when Japan got a physical copy with some beautiful cover art), the art style looks bland when compared to its gorgeous concept art, and import impressions were ho-hum. I'll get it but my expectations have been tempered. Hopefully it's successful enough that SE continues exploring this concept (the charming retro RPG on non-mobile platforms).

Dat first post. You sir, are a gentleman and a scholar and never let their be any objections. Well done.
Hyped for the game, mainly due to the above. I've always widened why more games don't do combo attacks? No idea how CT turned out so good but we are well over twenty years later and I'm still waiting for a game that even touches it.
Also can't find the non import ps4 version on Amazon. That seems weird.

Would have been a must buy at 30, but 40 bucks seems a bit steep seeing how it's a tad on the short side. On the fence right now.
