Oh, but I am Setsuna is special....
It is specially bad if you don't wear some nostalgia glasses IMHO.
(bought, played, disappointed)
Regarding the Switch port: It is good.
That aside, the game itself is not good. I don't get why it has so many positive reviews.
Visually it is completely generic, most character designs are flat, and the whole snow theme feels overused.
Regarding its music, it is boring, one can stand monotone out of tempo piano for so long.
I think Yasunori Mitsuda must feel hurt if this game was trying to homage his tunes.
The story telling is bad, it doesn't catch you because of uninteresting characters and just bad pacing.
The writing is terrible. It is boring to read and it seems filler text was just poured into the NPC dialogs to fill them up and make the game last longer.
And talking about making the game last longer, the walking speed on the over world is slow for no reason, well no reason other than making it last longer artificially.
I find it quite cheap that the creators didn't make the globe rotate and span, when you ride your airship you are limited by bounds in the world map instead of just going around the globe... Or perhaps the creators were flat-earthers?
Also this game really needs a in-game world map.
Regarding the battle system, it has too many unnecessary mechanics and too little challenge.
It is quite unbalanced and just boring.
It is just a look-alike of Chrono Trigger's system, when you actually use it and look at the details you see it wasn't polished and it is broken instead.
I think mmadnessgames' review explained very well the battle system faults, even if it is one of the first turn-based RPGs he played.
Conclusion: If you wanted to play something like Chrono Trigger, better go play Chrono Trigger again instead.

Cant really tell yet since i havent played much of it yet. Just got it because i love rpgs and its the only one outside botw who got a physical release (somewhere)
Apart from Mario 0, it has to be stardew valley then maybe shovel knight. Mario Rabbids looks cool but as its a ubi game, im gonna wait for a GOTY edition with all the dlc
My next order is Pokken Tournament DX. I'm not really a Pokemon fan at all but this fighting take on the franchise I like, it adds a bit of manliness to it!
FIFA 18 should be next on the list. I think I'll skip Mario & Rabbids. Tempted by Pokken Tournament DX, but fighting games don't keep me entertained long - I've not played ARMS in months.
Mario Odyssee in October, Sonic Forces in November, hopefully Skyrim in December.
