I just learned about it. I was surprised at what they are looking to accomplish with it gameplay wise.

• A great homage to JRPG masterpieces of yesteryear, using the latest technology to develop a truly memorable story and player experience and bring the authentic JRPG style to current hardware.
• A new battle system inspired by the timeless JRPG classic, Chrono Trigger.
• An emotionally impactful and memorable story which immerses players in the narrative of Setsuna, whose story portrays heartrending sorrow.
• Beautiful character designs and varied in-game locales evoke nostalgia for classic RPGs.

Anyone looking forward to this? its coming to PC and PS4 July 19th, 2016

[ZiggyPalffyLA]

I've been excited for it since the first artwork came out - it looks like a love letter to Chrono Trigger, the best game ever made.

 

[Fahzgoolin]

thread title was hard to read.

 

[orthodoxy1095]

Mildly, yes.

 

[Hycran]

It seems like the perfect game for Vita, but it's only coming to PS4 if I recall correctly. Snowy environment games are comfy as all get out and not having it on Vita seems like a real miss (minus the market economics of course).

Otherwise I'm hoping for it to succeed so it can spawn more similar games (Assuming its good)

 

[TheSpoiler]

Am I The Only One Anticipating I Am Setsuna?

 

[Hedge]

I am super excited for it!

 

[Hektor]

Preordered it even. I just hope it's good, cos i wanna see more games like this again

 

[Acquiescence]

I'm curious about it. Will play it at a significantly lower price than it's launching at if the reviews are good.

 

[Virdix]

Day One.

 

[robotzombie]

I am, despite everyone who actually played it saying it isn't that good

 

[Blackleg-sanji1]

Waiting for a sale on it but I am interested.

Hopelessly waiting for a retail announcement too

 

[bizzarewars]

Might be the only JRPG I'm anticipating this year.

Edit: Besides Pokemon I guess, but I consider that more like a drug fix than a JRPG, lmao.

 

[Duxxy3]

Waiting on reviews, but I'm excited.

 

[Terrorblot]

I can't wait but am worried that it looks a bit too weaboo-generic. Like I enjoy anime and stuff it's just how weird and placid everything looks that has me a touch worried. I'm waiting for the review thread.

 

[Lord of Ostia]

I am, it looks great, and the soundtrack is amazing.

 

[SynthFetish]

Yes, but I wanted it on Vita. I enjoy RPGs on my little handheld that could.

 

[tiebreaker]

It comes out at an unfortunate time for me, and it's digital only. Will buy at later date if it's good.

 

[AkelisRain]

Day one. Can't wait to play.

 

[wild wild rice]

Hoping for good reviews. I really like the sound of everything about it. Seems like there is potential to be an homage but also break free of the cliches and bloat that just kill the genre for me. Tokyo Mirage Sessions has me interested in JRPGs for the first time in forever.

 

[Baliis]

I bought the OST but will prob hold off on the game till it's on sale to see if they decide to release the vita version, I vastly prefer RPGs on handhelds.

 

[jack_package_200]

Writing the OT for it.

Yeah you can say I am excited.

 

[Cloud7]

I Am Pretty Excited About I Am Setsuna. I Am Going to Buy It This Year.

 

[BassForever]

Yeah pumped for it

 

[artsi]

I waited for it a lot, then played it, and was a bit disappointed.

 

[Shahed]

Yeah I am, but at the same time I'm not paying £32 for a digital only game. Will wait for a sale.

 

[p3n]

Will probably replace my annual classic RPG playthrough with this game this year. Did only see one short trailer but the combat system looks EXACTLY like Chrono Trigger so it can't be bad....right?

 

[wild wild rice]

$40 digital only...ugh

 

[sublimit]

Yeah I am, but at the same time I'm not paying £32 for a digital only game. Will wait for a sale.

Yup,same here.

 

[JetSetRadio]

First jrpg for PS4 that I will play, it should be good.

 

[silva1991]

After SO5 reviews it's safe to not get excited for SE low budget JRPGs

 

[Taruranto]

I'm kinda of the fence.

Developers are newcomers, aren't they? And JP impressions aren't too hot.

... Sounds like another BD situation, to be honest.

 

[Aters]

I think it is a beautiful little JRPG that doesn't take long to beat, but there is no Chrono Trigger in it. Chrono Trigger is a big expensive experience, while this game's budget shows everywhere in the game.

 

[Grindlefly]

Yes!! All over it. My type of game and I've pre ordered. Cannot wait

 

[qualitydisc]

A little bummed that it's digital only and $40. Physical4Lyfe!

Will wait for reviews and a sale.

The soundtrack sounds beautiful from the bits I've heard. Tomoki Miyoshi is a relative newcomer and I think he has a bright future in composition.

 

[sora87]

I was already eagerly anticipating it but this https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=z1LvYnnhQ-s video of Brad Ellis and Kyle Bosman discussing it made it a day one purchase

 

[KlytusImBored]

Really excited for it. But my backlog is seriously epic. Waiting for physical release - otherwise I'll skip it and keep chipping away at the backlog.

 

[BadWolf]

Yup, been looking forward to it since the TGS showing.

 

[Tizoc]

I plan to grab it off Greenmangaming when they have their 27% discount code up again.

 

[Mifec]

Yeah, I'm traveling so it's gonna be a perfect game for days I'm tired and spending in the hotel rooms.

 

[Spiritwalker]

I'd say the interest seems pretty high around here. Kinda want physical for PS4 though..

 

[Joqu]

Yeah, I can't wait. I should have some free time when it's out so I'll gladly spent it on Setsuna then.

 

[Worldshaker]

I'm highly anticipating it, but no physical and $40 is a hard sell considering I have a massive backlog as well.

I'd buy it for like $20 as a digital only title. If they can put out a physical copy like Shovel Knight did with a glorious manual/soundtrack I'd pay $60-$70

 

[lordfuzzybutt]

You can pre-order the game on GMG with the coupon 20OFF for 8 $/€ off.

 

[jon bones]

this should land at the same time as my $15 from PSN

so yeah, seems like something i might enjoy. been a while since i played a jrpg, but this one seems like a nice throwback.

 

[Agent_4Seven]

Day One.

Same here. Can't wait to play the game.

 

[Tohsaka]

Yeah, getting it day one.

 

[eXistor]

I think it looks great, but I'm holding off for a physical copy.

 

[Visualante2]

Yes, but unless the story is a home run I'm out. A solid take on vintage jRPG game play isn't enough for me. I could just go play.. say Chrono Trigger.

 

[LiK]

Yea, looks beautiful
