Turn Based RPG still rocks cant wait for it

A battle system similar to that of Chrono Trigger's? I'm in!

Here's to hoping FE Fanboys don't storm in this thread!

 

[BurningDesire]

Haha, I just recently found a song called Setsuna drive



Seems the world is telling me Setsuna will be a big name this year

Was interested the second I heard "Insprired by Chrono Trigger", but I think what sold me was the music in the trailer, and the fact it's getting a Steam release. It's a shame it's not getting a Vita release in the west, though.

Here's to hoping FE Fanboys don't storm in this thread!

Why?
I am kind of a FE fanboy (also Chrono Trigger fanboy, also Yasunori Mitsuda fanboy) and I'm completely sold for this.
Why should I storm in this thread?

The island had a custom

To maintain peace, once a decade, a sacrifice was offered to a fiend on the island. However, one year, the fiend grew violent before the next sacrifice was due. Those living on the island were afraid and tried to calm the fiend by offering a sacrifice; Setsuna, chosen because of her powers of enchantment. Setsuna must leave with her safeguards for the farthest land, where the ceremony of sacrifice will be held.

Jesus christ could that story be any more generic? Young girl who must sacrifice herself and travels to the boondocks because something-something religion or whatever. Just goes to show this game has nothing unique going for it. Anyone looking for this kind of plot would easily have a much better time with Tales of Symphonia (GC, PS2, PS3, PC) or Final Fantasy X (PS2, PS3, PS4, PC). Hell even Jigoku Shoujo (anime) and Okami (Wii, PS2, PS3) did this plot better.

PlayStation 4 computer entertainment system and Steam,

...wait what?

The game looks like it's for mobile devices. It even has the characteristic chibi characters and gigantic selection buttons so many of Square-Enix's mobile games have. This is seriously for PS4 and PC?

 

[LittleFlame]

[GermanTacos]

I'm uh.. Setsuna...

Looks like Crono Trigger without the Toriyama artwork.

I don't know about this, it doesn't have sprite art either.
