I played my fair amount of obscure JRPGs, like The World Ends With You and Moon, and I Am Setsuna is a modern take on a retro JRPG. There’s comparisons of this game to Chrono Trigger and I guess there was similarities like the battle system and themes.

The battle system was pretty straightforward with the addition of timed presses for Momentum and Flux. I ain’t ever fully understand the battle system and I was just tearing my way through with ENDIR AETERNA AND KIR. This is my battle plan: AETERNA DEMI to bring them in and then ENDIR CYCLONE as AoR dmg then KIR FIRE II for screen sweep. Or for bosses, AETERNA HASTE ON KIR, ENDIR X-STRIKE if it gives me the option sometimes, KIR FIRE II, and if I need health, ENDIR AURA AND KIR DRAIN. And I pretty much cheesed the whole game with of course grinding those 3 ICE FOXES that freeze you in the beginning of the game.

I can tell that they’re a big unbalanced portion of the game, I was heavily op by the end of the game, the DARK SAMSARA was cheese and Julienne and Fides don’t even matter. The story was pretty well written and by the end, I SWUNG MY SWORD AND WENT KCHING and the game was over. Time for next TOKYO RPG FACTORY GAME.
