Is anyone anticipating the game I am Setsuna?

I am.
It has that classic jrpg feel which I sorely miss.

The piano is almost too soothing. I can't play for too long at a time lol
I'm super hyped for the game, and I also hope that it is super successful and ushers in a return to PS1 era Square when the budgets weren't so crazy and they could afford to be experimental. We might see craziness like Parasite Eve, Bushido Blade, Einhander, and Vagrant Story again.
Yes, I know that indies are already doing that sort of thing, but I want Square to do it, dammit!

Pretty stoked for the game. Only wish it was a tad bit longer, but its better than nothing haha.

Wish we were getting a physical release (as well as a Vita release), but those preorder bonuses are pretty nice. I'm stoked.
Seconds after watching the trailer for the first time this e3 and I went ahead and pre-ordered the game (which I rarely / never do). This is exactly everything what I want in a game. I miss the old jrpg times so much and I have to live in envy that we have so many "retro"-inspired games of almost every genre, except jrpgs. Could be even better with pre-rendered backgrounds, but it is close enough. The score is also absolutely amazing and I can't wait to hear it all. Alsomg worldmap %$§'+ <3

Vita or bust. I'm sorry, but the older I get and the older my kids get, the harder it is for me to play RPGs in non-handheld systems.

Yeah, as soon as I saw that it played like Chrono Trigger I was sold. I was skeptical about the score being all piano, but then I heard it and it's just beautiful.

It really does suck... Maybe they'll have a change of heart.

...... This game is going to be such an emotional ride, I can sense my future self getting sad ( in the good way ) by just remembering this game.

Was curious but after seeing it was $40 it killed all interest

if offcial vg critics / reviewer were doing their jobs for movies. the only good for them there would be michael bay like productions.
So no reason to worry because of them.

I'm curious with the art direction and chrono trigger similarities but still not enough to preorder the game. Really should have brought the vita version because i would be more likely to take a risk.

I was but the price plus the fact that there's so much stuff dropping that month means I'll wait for that price drop further down the road.
I wouldn't be so worried about that. I left E3 with better impressions of Setsuna than I did FFXII and SO5.

No, I find that having any type of anticipation for JRPGs anymore leads to utter disappointment. Better to just be surprised when they are good. I may sound old saying this but they don't make them how they use to.

Between import impressions and the way they've been advertising the game, it's been hard for me to get too excited for it. Maybe I've just been soured by the numerous other smaller projects that claim to be a revival of the Good Ol' Days of JRPGs but completely fail to capture the subtleties that made those games special.
I'm also in the camp that would have sprung for the Vita version if they brought it over (and fixed the loading problems). Definitely would be looking forward to it more if it had a physical release in English as well.

I was planning to get it day one until not only they decided not to give us the Vita version but to make it a $40 digital only title lol.
Now I'll get it on sale maybe and all the hype shifted to Cosmic Star Heroine instead .

I'm looking forward to it but not at that price point. Wish it came out physically here in the States.
I'm all about those throwback JRPG's or anything I love that I grew up with. Heck, with the exception of some games I'm playing now or coming out, I really only play JRPG's or Nintendo games because they're still just all that magical as they originally were.
Setsuna is one of three of the remaining games coming out I plan to get. The other two are No Man's Sky and FFXV ( obviously FFXV )

)You can get it for $30 off GMG. (I'm also a bit unsure about getting it at launch primarily due to the price)
I'm not going to disagree with you but you're last comment strikes me as funny since this is them trying to make them like they used to lol

Not sure here if I pre-order it for the GMG price or not... But in general I feel very positive about the game.

Looks like a poor man's Chrono Trigger game.

Not really.
It doesn't look that good (OST seems to be on point though), it's pretty expensive...
...and I already have more than enough JRPGs for the rest of the year (the seriously great TMS#FE and then Dragon Quest VII on top of some of my backlog games)

I played it on Vita. It really felt like a budget game overall (not a bad game but it felt really cheap)
I don't think I can take another SE budget title after Star Ocean 5
9pm west coast US time on Monday night (so midnight eastern and 5:00AM Tuesday BST) according to this tweet.
Great post, echoes my feelings exactly. I'll still end up getting it but I'm no where near as enthused as I theoretically should be. Plus, I still have plenty of classic RPGs in my backlog to go through.
So Europeans are basically fucked if they want to benefit from the pre order stuff but also want to wait for reviews. Thanks SE.
Sucks but it seems this game is at least decent from the reception it got in Japan so it's probably safe to pre-order if you have your expectations in check and really want the themes and soundtrack.
