I Am Setsuna - 40% Off This Weekend!
« on: February 17, 2017, 11:07:48 pm »
This weekend Steam is having a big Square Enix sale... I Am Setsuna is 40% off ($23.99) which I think is a very good price point for the game.  I wouldn't recommend it at its full price, but its well worth this.

$39.99

Unless you are just desperate for some heavy Chrono nostalgia, I don't recommend it at that price.

Its a good game, and it HEAVILY evokes many, many aspects of the Chrono series (more Trigger than Cross, but their "spritnite" system is very reminiscent of "elements" from Cross), and there are a few story beats that draw from Chrono as well.

LOL. I literally just bought it full price for PS4 a month ago...
It was a bit expensive, but I knew what I was getting into.

And, for reals: the Chrono nostalgia was totally worth it. The influences are actually kind of jarringly shocking, to be honest. From map layouts, color pallets, world map design, musical influences, even character archetypes and tech names/animations. I'm apt to say that it ALMOST seems like it was going to be a Chrono Trigger remake project, but switched gears somewhere along the process.

I mean, look at the promo video on STEAM: just in those like 40 seconds, you have X-Strike, the Ioka Chief's Hut, North Cape, the Death Peak tree. AND THEN you get into character design, and Special attack setups? Just...wikipedia it: Luminaire, Flare, FROG SQUASH; they're all there. And on Characters with very similar setups.  Most basic example:

**SPOILER**TheBroodyDarkMageWhoHidesHisRealNameAndYouThoughtWasTheBadGuyIsActuallyYourLastPartyMember.AlsoHeHasAllOfMagusShadowSpellsAndAttacksWithAScytheKThnx**/SPOILER**


Anyway, I love it.

And if you're a member of this forum, you should probably check it out! Thanks HadesKane for keeping us on the up-and-up about the sale!

You just convinced me.  Congrats.

To be fair, that's something a CT fan might pick up early.

Happy to share :)

I appreciated a lot of the smaller nods, too, that was sprinkled all throughout the items and such as well, like the "Ioka Sword" that was a giant log, or the Lucca's Rod...

I bought the game, full price for steam on the release day. I did not regret a cent of what I spent. I've played it a few times. The music, the characters, the overall feel. Made me very happy from start to finish.

Quoting a spoiler is a pretty good way of getting everyone to see it. Thanks. :?
