They likely didn't had much to show at E3 except the concept art. The game looks like it is made by a small tiny on a short budget so the development isn't taking much time anyways.
At E3, they said we would heard more in autumn, which is obviously hinting TGS.
Hmm, it looks like even battle transition that Chrono Trigger had [where you touch an enemy on the field and it immediately transitions into battle] might have made its way in too. Just look at 0:12 ~ 0:16 in the trailer. The object to the north of the battle looks to be a treasure chest of some sort...
Alright, I officially need this now.
Artbook now, please.

So can we say this is Bravely Default for Playstation Platforms ?
I really like the oldschool style.

People seem to like me because I am polite and I am rarely late. I like to eat ice cream and I really enjoy a nice pair of slacks.
From what I gathered from the story (Google translate):
It takes place in an island and in this island, sacrifices are done to suppress a demon. The following year they will sacrifice "Setsuna", an 18 year old girl who can cast powerful magic.
Not sure if this is right.

This looks like it's right up my alley. I'm interested in learning more about it. Slight Chrono vibes, too.
Oh, this is what I was talking about earlier in-regard to battle transitions being similar to Chrono Trigger.
As you all know, normally in RPG's when you hit an enemy encounter the screen transitions to a separate battle field where you fight. In Chrono Trigger, when you hit an enemy, instead of taking you to a separate screen you immediately started battle in your current location, leaving the details of the field on-screen. In the below screenshot from the Project Setsuna trailer, it looks like a treasure chest is still visible while fighting, which leads me to believe that same-field enemy battle transition from CT is also incorporated here.

If correct, premise has potential.

Liked what I saw. That studio is created to poop out these kind of titles every 1.5/ 2 years, so we shouldn't expect AAA super high production values. I am ok with that!

It's correct.
The ritual of sacrifice is to happen in a far away place (end of the earth), and the game seems to be about escorting the girl on that journey.

If this has the breadth of a Bravely Default, I will be happy. Music and gameplay i'm sure will be great and if the story is emotional that is a big plus.

Gave me Bravely Default vibes which is awesome. Loving the music and especially those pieces of artwork off of the site. Jesus, it's beautiful.
She'll die, but the demon won't be satisfied and decides to destroy humanity anyway.
The party who did the escorting soon realize their mistake, and build a time machine to go backwards in-time to rescue her before the sacrifice happens, as her magical power is needed to defeat the great evil. Along the way, every little change they incur will change the events of the past, present, and future, and the party will need to correct these time-line "fractures" lest the world be destroyed.

I like the look of this. And that piano was divine.

Honestly, if someone made a studio that cranked out games that only looked as good as late-period SNES titles, I would be totally okay with that. Forever.

They did say that if it was a success the franchise would scale up and become AAA.
It will, only through remote play

Nah, the player will probably sacrifice themselves to kill the demon and the girl will survive

This conference is clearly more in line with the types of games that I enjoy, so many cool announcements.
