I Am Setsuna is essentially a mash up of all your favorite Square RPGs of the 90s and early 2000s. Their first project is just that, crafting a game with familiar mechanics and an adventure that promises intrigue and emotion. While the core of Square Enix seems to be adamant about moving forward with the action-RPG genre, they have created a smaller studio by the name of Tokyo RPG Factory to better facilitate and feed off the nostalgia of gamers from the 90s. Despite their differences, both approaches were successful and created some of the best RPGs available, so it’s not surprising some developers would want to go back to what was the Golden Age of Japanese RPGs. While Square’s approach was aimed at developing games in-house - and to great success considering releases such as Final Fantasy, Secret of Mana and Chrono Trigger propelled them into stardom - Enix relied on other developers to do their creative work. If there’s one thing Square Enix is known for, before and after their merger, it’s their groundbreaking RPGs.
