Released today, the new story trailer of Square Enix's new IP Lost Sphear gave fans a brand-new look at the mysterious story they can expect to discover:

​

LOST SPHEAR is the story of Kanata, a self-taught swordsman who aims to restore the world with his gift of awakening memories. As an ominous power threatens the fabric of reality itself, players must join Kanata and restore the disappearing world around them from being forgotten. In LOST SPHEAR, players will travel the world from idyllic countryside towns to mysterious dungeons, all in an effort to save the world and protect those around you from being lost forever.

LOST SPHEAR is set to arrive in Europe and PAL territories on the 23rd January 2018 on PS4, Nintendo Switch, and STEAM. Those who pre-order on the PlayStation Store will receive a “Memoirs of the Moon” dynamic PlayStation 4 theme, as well as two music tracks. Those who pre-order on STEAM will receive a custom LOST SPHEAR wallpaper, as well as two music tracks. Fans who pre-order the game from the SQUARE ENIX Online Store will receive two music tracks as a gift at launch.

I wonder if the graphics will change between the releases.

Looks really boring and generic. I thought that Tokyo RPG Factory was going to bring a lot of good into the RPG world but they just seem to be retreading old ground.

I agree completely, but I'll probably still buy it. Maybe I'm just boring and generic myself.

Nah see, I would by lying if I weren't thinking about getting this too. Maybe there is something to this madness.

Kanata, the Swordsman. Now that's some creative naming right there.

Seriously, they can just keep this. Setsuna was mediocre boredom already and this is basically the same game in a different setting.

Since it's just your typical JRPG, I hope the story will be epic or at least good. Dang! I really need to finish their game 'I am Setsuna', especially this coming next year. Lost Sphear looks and feels the same with their previous game. Hopefully, there's an improvement or something. Square Enix is on a roll and their neverending publishing of JRPGs. Also, can't wait for Project Octopath.

It's pretty fitting Square Enix is the one making a game about memories and memory loss, given that has been their favourite plot tool since the beginning of time.

PSVITA???

Argh... this gives me again "I am Setsuna" vibes (that is, boring, generic, overvalued, monotone-out-of-tempo piano sounding, unrefined chrono trigger rip-off "homage" wannabe)... I think I am skipping it, I already fell for the boring-snow-monothematic one.

My feeling exactly. Just from watching the trailer I feel like I've already played through every segment I saw in another game before.

I think it looks very charming, I dunno what it'd take to please some of you goons. I'll probably pick it up on steam for cheap and enjoy myself for a day or two playing it

I Am Setsuna looked charming, too, but it was monotonous and very boring to play. I think the detractors on this thread are speaking of their past experience with a Tokyo RPG Factory game, since Lost Sphear looks very much in the same vein as I Am Setsuna.

They just made the huge mistake to advertise Setsuna as a Chrono Trigger style game, bringing back the golden 16bit Era Rpgs that many people miss and would prefer over Ff15 action rpg styles any day. What came out was a bland, repetitive, uninspired title and the lost sphear, by using the same engine, looks exactly like more of the same. I'll be definitely not getting this.

Still waiting for Kingdom Hearts III...
