I am Setsuna

Normally I write my reviews at the end, after I've finished the game. This time I decided to note things as I played, but I have completed the game as of posting this review. This appears to be a snow level for the entire game. I've complained about games starting with 15 hour desert levels, but I like snow levels, so I kind of like this. It gives the whole world a connected, yet bleak feeling. Your characters even leave large trails in the snow. There are white sparkles to find that are can be difficult to see at times, though it's usually visible enough. The dialogue feels like it is just the concept and given to characters to say. It's so awkwardly worded and expository that I find it difficult to take seriously as dialogue. It almost feels like the characters are reciting the instructions that the devs had for those lines instead of anything conversational. I had heard that this was inspired by Chrono Trigger. So far, we have a silent protagonist and dual/triple techs, but the game feels a lot more like the plot of Final Fantasy X. One big issue is that the protagonist doesn't even have the personality of the silent Crono or the narrative device of being a lens for the pla…

Simple & short JRPG in a good way. The music is out of this world.

PROS: - Beautiful story. - Interesting characters. - Lovely music. - Adorable world. - Simple and straightforward combat system CONS: - While I like that the combat system is straightforward and simple, I don't prefer its time-based approach over traditional turn-based combat. It puts unnecessary pressure on the player to make quick decisions instead of allowing them to calmly and carefully consider their next move.

I have no recollection of ever owning this game, let alone playing it. Looks lame as hell. Eskimos wandering around looking at trees and ♥♥♥♥.

I agree it's not for everyone, but this still is a very charming JRPG in a winter wonderland and an all-piano OST. It has a lot to offer IF you play it with love and choose to believe in its magic. As a fan of the Chrono series, the elements in this game that were inspired by that series are done tastefully. In this day and age, it's a whole different feeling seeing homages being paid to the classics. The only things I hated were the lack of autosave and we never saw Endir without his mask
