I Am Setsuna hasn't got better a few more hours in; it's still the same monotonous visual and sound design on loop, and the writing continues to be very serious about its anime tropes. If nothing else, the game makes me appreciate how creative and charming and quirky the JRPGs of the SNES era were.
Then again, it may be that I have trouble managing my expectations. I thought I Am Setsuna was going to be Chrono Trigger on the PS4, but I also thought Star Trek Beyond was going to be The Wire in space, and look how that turned out. So the problem may just be me.
Also...
if there is one female trope that I just nopity nope nope, it is the noble female sacrifice trope, in all of its flavors
I want to print this out, screenprint it on a t-shirt, and wear it every day for the rest of my life.
