Looks pretty interesting. Seems similar to I am Setsuna when looking at the characters, battle system, world map and etc.. The icy terrain and re-used dungeon floors felt a bit repetitive in the long run, so I am glad that this seems to have more variety when it comes to surroundings. I hope they have I am Setsuna`s composer since the music was pretty good.

I wonder if the story or the world will have any sort of connection to their previous game.

I am rather interested in this title. Seeing this actually made me want to go do some of the post game stuff in I Am Setsuna.

Looks cute and charming. I am waiting for I am Setsuna to go on sale. If I end up liking the game, then I'll probably look into this more.

I never got around to playing Setsuna, but this looks great. I'm definitely interested.

Man, global warming hit them hard.

$50 is a tad bit steep for such a low-cost looking game.

Wait...they're asking $50 for this? get real

I missed that as well. It's the reason I skipped out on Setsuna, and so I guess it'll be the reason I skip out on this too. Yikes.

Square Enix's Next JRPG Aims To Fix I Am Setsuna's Flaws

Charging $40 instead of $50 was a flaw apparently.

That's sooner than I expected honestly.

The physical copy is unfortunately Square Enix Store exclusive. That needs to stop being a thing.

15 minutes of new game play. It's cute and charming, but look boring :/

In the mean time I attend my backlog and college work, I'll wait for Setsuna and Sphear to drop in price, even though I'm mighty interested in both.

 

[Pokie]

This may sound like a unnecessary pet peeve ? But why are the characters so small and far away on screen ?? It's frustrating. Not a fan of this artistic visual.

I Am Setsuna was the same.

 

[Magnus]

I mostly miss character portraits with the text boxes.

 

[Ballad of Caius]

Trying the game's demo as we speak. I like the battle gameplay, but the game's overrall presentation feels lacking. Character portraits could fix the issue a little, but I don't feel very absorbed into the story. I just think events happen and pass by. There's no sense of flow at all.

Just my two cents.
