You can now battle Takashi Tokita’s party in the Switch version of I Am Setsuna’s Temporal Battle Arena. Tokita, a Square Enix veteran, was one of the directors on Chrono Trigger and until August 10 you can actually snag I Am Setsuna for 33% off on the eShop.

Lost Sphear, the next JRPG from the makers of I Am Setsuna, will be out on January 23, 2018, publisher Square Enix said today. It’ll get a simultaneous launch on Steam, Switch, and PS4. From what I’ve seen, it looks rad.
