I Am Setsuna AKA I'm not for Cappa

It's a component, for sure - but not the whole. Far from it.

I'll be glad to see the back of people conflating length with value.

I still do this I'm afraid. I can appreciate the odd shorter game, but I definitely like BotW more because of its scale. As long there isn't needless padding, a game I can play more without replaying bits > a game I can play less.

HLTB says 20hrs but lets say Jay does it in 15hrs, 15hrs for £30 isn't bad as what Res Evil 7 was £40 for 7hrs as that's the sort game it is.

Length of a game, genre, price all means something different for a different game, would I want RE7 to be 80hrs long hell no as that sort of game genre doesn't work over that amount of length. It's meant to be a confined story and if I Am Setsuna does that then it's all good.

Games are still the best money to length form of entertainment by far.

I like the last line of your post there Mas, definitely a true sentiment. #gamingisart

So IAS had gone down to about £20 from about £30 - is it worth me picking it up?

I need to go back to it but from what I have played and reviews, I think you'll like it but just find it to be a tad average but enjoyable.

Hmmm... I'll think on. I got some eShop credit to buy Sonic Mania later in the month, and I do have a lot of RPG's sitting in the vault, practically untouched.

It's... fine. On a pure gameplay level the battling is nothing to write home about and the story is standard RPG fare. I'd say it's worth a look purely based on the setting, soundtrack and the fact that it's pretty short for an RPG. £20 is about right, I reckon.
