I'm not going to go into any great detail here but I'm loving these two games.
I made the statement after the demo that I didn't think it was much like an Etrian Odyssey game. I was wrong. The EO feel comes largely from the team structure and the way you level up abilities. Quests abound and you get to expand the inventory in the stores by killing enough dragons to pay for upgrades to the facilities.
However unlike EO you get to move around environments freely and your dungeon crawls are 3rd person not first.
As Snee has pointed out the music is not the greatest but I did come across one moving piece in a hospital scene that I kind of liked.
I am Setsuna is beautiful and quite sad. The music is mostly made up of piano pieces and they are quite pretty. I know I've stopped playing multiple times and just sat and listened.
While the whole game is bound in snow it's quite nice to look at. The voice acting is all in Japanese but that has yet to bother me.
The battle system is turn based but fast and puts one in mind of Chrono Trigger. Boss battles start of nicely but out of the blue the difficulty peaks and you will die. Strategy and the right set of skills are key in many boss battles.
The game also has characters you can give a fuck about which I find is rare these days.
Is it worth 40 bucks? I was going to wait for a drop but beer convinced me otherwise and I do not regret the purchase. If you like old 16 bit JRPGs and are not afraid of the odd hard boss battle you should buy it. If for no other reason than to support this kind of game
Anyway that's my 2 cents for now. More later.
Oh god, I just preordered No Man's Sky on PS4 and am now watching the countdown until I can play it.
I might skip 7th dragon until it goes way down in price, but I Am Setsuna looks really cool. I really want to support games like that even if they're not perfect, so when it comes time for the perfect one to be made, people will fund it.
I asked my friend at EB what No Man's Sky was about and he told me "you just fly around for hours and nothing happens" LOL
Ha ha. Im gonna have some white wine later and check it out. Will blog later.
Those are two interesting RPGs I'll probably add to my list to play when I get a chance.
I have Setsuna, and it is a nice game.I haven't gotten 7th Dragon yet, but I would like to do so. When Sega is good, they're awesome.
I'm loving 7th Dragon. It looks amazing for a 3DS games and the battles are fun especially after the buddy system kicks in. The story is interesting too.
I find it humorous that gay romantic relationships are the norm in this game so far. No sex of course (at least not yet) but girl dating girl and a guy sending flowers and a love letter to another guy. No hetro stuff for 7th Dragon. :)
