New Square Enix RPG Project Setsuna Will Be Themed Around Sadness

I'm disappointed there's no news about Parasite Eve and Legacy of Kain, but I guess I can wait a few more years since Final Fantasy XV, Dragon Quest XI, Dragon Quest VII remake, and Hitman.

I'm not interested in anything from the backstabbing publisher Square Enix.

All developers on the project will be issued a crate of black eyeliner and a box of unsharpened razor blades.

In order to keep development on schedule, the developers will only be allowed to sharpen and use the razor blades after the software is released.

So it will be called: Square Enix, the forever replacer of Squaresoft.

I like any game that provokes a strong emotion or one that pulls you deep into its world. I remember the first time a bunch of us grown ass adults standing around Guitar Hero for ps2, tapping buttons to a song scrolling on the tv. We all looked silly but there was not a one of us not smiling from ear to ear while we played the game.

ICO, was another, while not striking strong emotions, the world really sucked you in, it was hard to know what was going on around you because you were really into the story and game.

So, I really have high hopes for this game cannot wait till it comes out.

So it's based on player reactions to FF13?

Oh joy...another SE game that revolves entirely around Japanese tweeny angst and hyperbolic cosmic ennui. I sure hope the boys look like girls and the girls look like bimbos and they all have hair-dos that would require a full can of Aqua Net per day. Sure as shit stinks they better be wearing the latest leathery styles straight out of Tokyo, have eyes too bg for their skulls and maybe some mixed cutesy animal features too, or I'm going to have to have an afternoon of protracted pouting while watching MLP and eating B&J's.

I hope it's a action game!

The concept artwork certainly has me interested. I'm a sucker for great art, and that concept art is lovely. Looking forward to hearing more about this title, because it looks real neat so far.

Spoilers ahead. All Square's RPGs are nothing but sadness after FF6. Oh no, a moss snake, we're all level 99 but let's cry about it for half an hour.

Go home, Square, you're drunk.

I don't care what the theme is, as long as it's a full length single player RPG that does not have an action-based battle system.

Makes sense seeings how gamers these days are a bunch of sad little twerps anyways.

More than likely skipping Nintendo platforms like always.

I remember when they said FF8s theme was supposed to be "love"

It went hand in hand with my remembering that Square likes to pull supposed "themes" out of its ass for publicitirs sake when I actually played FF8 and barely saw a theme at all...much less one about "love"

Guess they're returning to their former glory in both the good and the bad though.

What's with Japanese and sadness? Almost all FF series is sadness/emo...

so disappointed with japanese devs lately

We know that its coming to ps4 since it's the main base for jrpg but it'd be interesting to see if it ever comes to pc or wii u or even xbox one. I'm more interested in seeing if square is willing to take risk to go multiplat for new jrpgs.

I wish Square could return to their glory days before Sakaguchi left. The only good games that publisher has produced since has come from the western developers they acquired. Japan has lost the plot. They make games that take 10+ years to make and will probably turn out crap.

I don't expect to see FF7 Remake until the 25th anniversary of FF7 (we're at 18 this year), and that is being optimistic.

Oh, so it's not about Sadness...

I feel like the title of this article could have been written better..
