WATCH: ‘Lost Sphear’ is new Square Enix JRPG for PS4, Switch, Steam
From the makers of the sorrowful yet stirring Japanese role-playing game (JRPG), “I Am Setsuna”, is a new title that exudes a similarly haunting aura.
Made by Tokyo RPG Factory, “Lost Sphear” follows Kanata, a young boy who awakens to a literally vanishing world around him. It’s up to him and his comrades to rebuild the world through the power of memory that will let them manifest thoughts into matter.
The atmosphere-defining score that made “I Am Setsuna” so memorable makes a comeback on Lost Sphear along with a revamped Active Time Battle (ATB) combat system.
Not much else has been announced apart from the game’s availability in early 2018 for the PlayStation 4, Nintendo Switch and Steam.
“I Am Setsuna” was the debut title of Square Enix-owned studio Tokyo RPG Factory. It follows the story of a mercenary tasked of assassinating a girl named Setsuna who also happens to be the ritual sacrifice that will save the world from hostile demons. JB
