Review I Am Setsuna (Switch eShop)
Wondering how to pronounce 'Setsuna'
Much has been made of the launch line-up for the Nintendo Switch, with some describing it as underwhelming and lacking in exciting software besides The Legend Of Zelda: Breath Of The Wild. That's certainly debatable, and one game that may have slipped under some people's radars is I Am Setsuna, a JRPG that...

News Square Enix Has Absorbed 'I Am Setsuna' Developer Tokyo RPG Factory
It worked on three RPG games for Switch
There's some industry news coming out of Japan today that Square Enix has absorbed the developer Tokyo RPG Factory. As part of this, Tokyo RPG Factory will be immediately dissolved and "will cease to exist as an individual entity" (thanks, Gematsu). Tokyo RPG Factory was a subsidiary of Square Enix and was...

News Square Enix Has Established A Division Exclusively For Switch Development
Big releases are on the way
Square Enix is one of those third party companies that’s been a little more hesitant in its support of the Nintendo Switch. The company most notably brought I Am Setsuna and Lost Sphear—two low-budget, retro-inspired JRPGS—and is prepping to release the heavily anticipated Octopath Traveler. Apart form that, things...

News I Am Setsuna's Switch Exclusive Update, Temporal Battle Arena, Arrives Very Soon
Gets a slightly better trailer, too
A while ago Square Enix posted a rather disappointing teaser trailer for the upcoming free update in I Am Setsuna - Temporal Battle Arena. It's a mode in which you can put your party up against others and, if you win the battle, earn some extra rewards. The good news is that the free content - which is exclusive...
Video Digital Foundry Highlights the Nintendo Switch Boost in FAST RMX
More than a portable Wii U
With the relative closeness (on a technical level) between the two versions of The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild, early curiosity around the Switch has focused on how much of a boost it truly offers over Wii U. It's evidently not an enormous leap, but it's not necessarily been fair to characterise it as a portable...
News Square Enix Promotes I Am Setsuna's Temporal Battle Arena DLC With a Vague Teaser
We bet it took a whole 15 minutes to capture footage and upload it
Game companies don't always do a bang up job of promoting their games or pitching their merits, but a new trailer for upcoming Switch-exclusive DLC in I Am Setsuna is a pretty bad example. It may be branded a 'teaser', but see how much you learn from the video below. Coming soon...
Nintendo Download 2nd March (North America)
Zelda: Breath of the Wild! Launch Switch games! Much more!
It's almost Nintendo Switch time, while of course there are also some new downloads on the Wii U and 3DS this week. Unlike the EU equivalent earlier in the week Nintendo of America has included Switch games in its download update, so we have the final day one picture of downloads for the new...
Video I Am Setsuna's Nintendo Switch Launch Trailer Piles On The Accolades
Now in French, too
I Am Setsuna might not be a brand-new JRPG release but it's nevertheless a very welcome addition to the launch lineup for Nintendo Switch. Positioned as an old-school JRPG "like they used to make", the game is being given the launch trailer treatment by Nintendo UK, an opportunity to highlight the many positive reviews it has...
News I Am Setsuna Confirmed as Launch Day Release on Nintendo Switch
We're still trying to avoid calling it I Am Satsuma
It's been clear for a little over a week that I Am Setsuna is arriving early on Nintendo Switch (initially given a March window), but now it's been confirmed as a download-only launch day title. Published by Square Enix and developed by Tokyo RPG Factory, this brings to mind classic JRPGs - with...
About The Game
The island had a custom.
To maintain peace, once a decade, a sacrifice was offered to a fiend on the island. However, one year, the fiend grew violent before the next sacrifice was due. Those living on the island were afraid and tried to calm the fiend by offering a sacrifice: Setsuna, chosen because of her powers of enchantment. Setsuna must leave with her safeguards for the farthest land, where the ceremony of sacrifice will be held.

I need this so much!!!!!
I'm down for this! I got all the achievements for Earthlock:Festival of magic and I need a new jrpg to play! Was going re-download earthlock, but still hasn't released on wiiU
Will the physical Japan release have an English language option?
@Hordak Nothing has been said, but I wouldn't count on it...
Lol, bought on Steam mounths ago, but never even touched. Now for 19.99 i will get and play (finally) this game on the Switch, cozily in my bed XD
@Hordak , According to the game's official Nintendo page the Japanese version of the game includes both English and French options (scroll down to the game specs).
As with Wii U and 3DS games, I believe the language a game is displayed depends on the system language. That's why you can only play Breath of the Wild with Japanese voice acting if you set your Switch language to Japanese, which is a bit puzzling.
Great news that English is included on the cartridge, so I'm considering importing. The only negative is that if they release an English packaged version at some point (after importing the Japanese version), then I'll be really cheesed. It seems doubtful though considering the limited audience of such a game.
I am downloading this one in the next week or so. Just need some extra funds. Kinda broke now that I got the switch.
Imported this from Japan. Hope to play this before Lost Spheres releases hopefully as physical release in Europe.
