Square Enix's Lost Sphear launch date revealed

DarkShinigami · Jul 25, 2017

Now I doubt this gets a retail release but a man can dream.... I'll probably still get it.

Ooh! PC and Switch! Neato. Hopefully unlike "I Am Setsuna" it has an actual interesting premise besides literally the plot of Final Fantasy X.

I have a strong feeling the post that was removed was one of those "first" posts.

Good news. I've got this on pre-order.

It will.

I got "I Am Setsuna" on PC, but I think I'd much rather buy this on Switch for the portability. So congrats Nintendo on making a console I'd rather buy multi-plats on than my precious, dearly beloved PC.

You are so right

Glad to hear it has a PC release. Day one!

In the end I found I am Setsuna very mediocre, and the fact that they used the exact same engine makes me already look at this title with scepsis.

It even looks like IAS. xD

I wanna get a physical copy of IAS for the Switch but waiting that a USA/EUR release is made over the JPN one.

Now, hold on a minute. The engine wasn't I Am Setsuna's problem, it was its mediocrity. Tokyo RPG Factory's engine is serviceable, they just need to populate the game with better content.

A spiritual successor to a spiritual successor huh? Aight sure

osaka35 · Jul 25, 2017

I hope it's better and not more of the same

Sonic Angel Knight · Jul 26, 2017

Is I am setsuna even good? Is $40 on nintendo switch eshop and no retail cart. O_O

I mean it says in description is like chrono trigger, but I can't believe it till I play it, and I'm not paying $40 for a download only title.

It's a good game and you can get the physical release but it is a Japanese import.

I never purchased a import game.

Me neither which is why I'm still waiting for a EUR/USA physical release, don't wanna pay so much for a digital game.

It's not going to happen, so I wouldn't hold my breath on a US physical release of it. Amazon JPN sells the game too and ships to the US (as long as Amazon sells the title themselves, not 3rd parties).

It's in English (on the cart), so what's the issue?

European retailers have it listed so given that The Lost Sphear is getting a hard copy in 2018 there is a possibility.

So it's gonna be a case of Puyo Puyo Tetris where the physical release is $10 more than the digital?

Just curious: why not? It's the same game, digital or physical. I'm assuming you don't want to spend so much for a digital game because you can't resell it later? I can understand that. I Am Setsuna doesn't have any replayability value. You play through it once, you've seen everything.

With physical copies I can always just pop in the disc/cart on said branded console and that's that, with digital I have to download and if I want to play on another one I'll have to redownload it.

I know that disc games nowadays require to be installed to the HDD and also lots of day 1 patches but still better for me.
