History VideoGame / IAmSetsuna

* {{Minimalism}}: the entire soundtrack is piano. In fact, the entire soundtrack is ''solo'' piano except for battle themes, which involve percussion and (sometimes) a second piano track.

* WholePlotReference: A land ravaged by monsters requires a sacrifice be made, typically a young maiden who goes on a pilgrimage with a party of hand-picked companions to the ruins of an ancient civilization, where the woman will give up her life in order to create a temporary respite from the monsters. [[VideoGame/FinalFantasyX Sound familiar?]]

** You are given a number of dialogue options with Endir, but pretty much all of them don't have any effect outside of maybe getting a few characters to yell at you. As [[WebAnimation/ZeroPunctuation Yahtzee Croshaw]] put in his review of the game, the options that are offered to the player is often down to agreeing with Setsuna or slightly sarcastically agreeing with Setsuna.

* SacrificialLamb: The world routinely sacrifices people every so often to prevent the monsters from overwhelming the human villages. Setsuna is the latest among them. It's noted for being dangerous enough that very few sacrifices actually make it to the Last Lands and die mid-journey, such as Setsuna's aunt, or give up, like Sayagi.

* BigBad: [[spoiler: Dark Samsara]]
* BonusBoss: Every boss from the personal quests are optional, but completing the quests gives you the final spell of the character and sometimes his final weapon. Once you cleared all the resurrected bosses in the three ruins, you face [[spoiler: The Ruler Of Time.]]

* ButThouMust: You are given a number of dialogue options with Endir but pretty much all of them don't have any effect whatsoever outside of maybe getting some funny reactions.

** In the Twallusk Mountain, there's a set of enemies called Silvara near the entrance. They're ''extremely'' dangerous due to their high damage output and ability to inflict freeze on your party, but with certain sets of momentum-charged combos they can be killed relatively easily. They yield an enormous amount of ''3000'' exp. An hour or so and you'll barely have any troubles for the rest of the game.

* YamatoNadeshiko: Setsuna, of course. It was probably intended to see her this way.

I Am Setsuna or イケニエと雪のセツナ ( Setsuna, Sacrifices and Snow ) in Japan, is a Japanese role-playing video game developed by Tokyo RPG Factory and published by Square Enix. It was released for PlayStation4 and PlayStationVita in Japan in February 2016, and worldwide for PlayStation4 and MicrosoftWindows in July 2016.

The game takes heavy inspirations from 16 & 32 bits consoles JRPG, most notably Chrono Trigger, Chrono Cross and Final Fantasy X. The gameplay and magic system are taken straight from Chrono Trigger, except you can choose which move you want to equip or not, with the obligatory Dual Techs and Triple Techs.

* CombinationAttack: In pure Chrono Trigger fashion, you can combine two or three character's spells to make stronger spells. Some combined spells are truly game breaking.

* GainaxEnding: The ending itself is a MindScrew. [[spoiler: Endir and Setsuna are thrown in the past to follow after Dark Samsara who escaped himself into the past. They meet a human-like for of Dark Samsara which Endir defeat quickly. Setsuna takes the monster's soul inside her and asks Endir to kill her along with it. Weither Endir kills Setsuna or not is left to the player's imagination, and roll credits. A post credit scene shows Endir walking alone in the snow, as Setsuna somehow resurrect/reincarnates behind him. Are they still in the past? Is Setsuna truly alive? Is she a ghost? The game gives no answer on this.]]

* MeaningfulName: Endir is named エンド/Endo/End is Japan. Feeling it's a strange name, especially for an english release, they changed it for Endir. [[spoiler: His japanese name forshadows that Endir is the only character with Setsuna during the ending.]]

* PeninsulaofPowerLeveling:
** In Morbrise Mountain, towards the exit there is a sprinite-eaten monster called a Glowpoly. It has very high evasion making it difficult to damage, but its actual damage output is quite low, meaning it's easy to just wait the battle out until your hits eventually connect. It gives a whopping 1000 exp per kill, which early on is enough to get your characters several levels up in a short amount of time.

* ShoutOut: The game gives a LOT of ShoutOut to VideoGame/ChronoTrigger.
* TitleDrop: For the english release, Setsuna drops the title when she introduces herself not even one hour into the game.

* JerkWithAHeartOfGold: Endir, you can play it this way. Even if you don't, most characters see you this way.
