I-Nostalgia igama kanye nesimo sesiko le-pop njengamanje. Ngiyayimba ngokuphelele. Sinazo zonke izinhlobo zokunwetshwa kwamamuvi, amahlaya, umculo nemidlalo ebuyela emuva kuma-80's nama-90's. Uma uphumile emshinini wesikhathi kusukela esikhathini esizayo njengamanje, kuzomele uhlole i-flux-whoozatwirl yakho ukuze uqiniseke ukuthi ukushumi leminyaka elilungile. Enye yezinto engizikhonzile mayelana nemicabango yami ye-nostalgic wonke ama-RPG akudala engangiwadlala. Kubukeka sengathi bekungemina ngedwa obecabanga ngalezo futhi. I-Square Enix kanye ne-Tokyo RPG Factory bakhiphe i-RPG yakudala esekwe ekuphendukeni ebizwa ngokuthi “I Am Setsuna” okuyindlela ecishe iphelele yokuvakashela kabusha uhambo lwakho olude olulahlekile lwe-RPG.

Indaba ethi “Ngingoka-Setsuna” ikhetha ezicini zendaba ezihlukene zemidlalo yakudala ye-JRPG. Isimo sidabukisayo. Umlingiswa owudlalayo unomsebenzi wokuhambela idolobhana eliseduze uyobulala intombazanyana okuthiwa uSetsuna. Uma usufikile, uthola ukuthi intombazane ingumlingiswa obalulekile emhlabeni omiselwe umhlatshelo ngesikhathi somcimbi. Lomhlatshelo uphoqa amademoni ukuba aphume endaweni isikhathi esilinganiselwe, kuze kudingeke umhlatshelo olandelayo. Muva nje le ndawo isihlaselwe amadimoni futhi isibalo sawo sibonakala sikhula.

U-Setsuna uyasiqonda ikusasa lakhe futhi ulunge ngokuphelele ngokuzinikela ukuze azuze okuhle. Uma umlingiswa wakho ekuzwa lokhu uvuma ukuba unogada futhi amsize amphelezele emcimbini womhlatshelo.

Endleleni, uhlangana nabalingisi abajoyina iqembu lakho futhi basize ekuletheni i-Setsuna endaweni yayo yokugcina. Njengoba ungalindela kulolu hlobo lwe-RPG, umhlaba ugcwele ukusonteka, ukujika nokunye okunjalo.

Umdlalo wenzeka ezweni eliyincithakalo elimbozwe yiqhwa. Futhi uma ngithi ikhava ngiqonde ukuthi igcwele yonke indawo. Uma lokhu bekuwukuthi “Umdlalo Wezihlalo Zobukhosi,” umugqa wethegi ubuzoba “Ubusika buphelile!” Nakuba ukukhithika kweqhwa kuyasiza ekuqiniseni umqondo wokuthi umhlaba ubanda futhi uchithekile kangakanani, futhi kuba yinto eyisicefe ukuyibuka. Kusukela esikrinini kuya esikrinini, konke kuqala ukubukeka ngendlela efanayo. Kuneziqephu ezincane zesikhathi lapho uvakashela imigodi ephula i-monotony. Sekukonke, kuningi kakhulu into efanayo ukusuka endaweni kuya endaweni uma kuziwa eqhweni. Okuyisicefe. mhlophe. iqhwa. 

Uhlelo lokulwa luyisibuko sengxube ye-“Final Fantasy VI” kanye ne-“Chrono Trigger.” Abazami nokungacaci ngalelo qiniso. Ezinye iziphonso nokuhlasela kwe-combo kuqanjwe ngamagama athile asemidlalweni eshiwo ngaphambilini. I-Combat isekelwe ekuphendukeni, uhlelo lwamaphathi amathathu. Kuqukethe ukubhekana nokuhlaselwa ngenkathi uzama ukuphulukisa nokuvikela amalungu engxenye yakho ekufeni. Akukho okudabukisayo, kodwa akusikho lokho esikuzele lapha akunjalo? Lena i-JRPG yakudala enakho konke obukuthanda ngayo okwakhiwe ngaphakathi.

Amakhono angahlonyiswa futhi akhishwe ukuze avumele ukuhlasela okuhlukahlukene. Uthola amakhono akhethekile ngokuqoqa izinto zokwakha futhi uzithengisele umthengisi. Izikhali zingathengwa futhi ziqiniswe ukuze zinikezwe izinzuzo ezikhethekile. Abekho umakhenikha okuzoba yinto entsha kodwa kunikeza isihogo esisodwa somoya ohlanzekile nongenangqondo.

Ngithemba ukubona eminye yalolu hlobo lwemidlalo evela e-Tokyo RPG Factory. Ngithemba imidlalo emikhudlwana enezinhlobonhlobo ezinkulu zezindawo. Umlingo ukhona futhi kufanele uthuthukiswe ukuze usinikeze okufanayo ngamabhonasi angeziwe.

Ngingumlandeli we-“I Am Setsuna.” Kwakunzima ukuzikhipha, ngajabulela ukuqhuma kwangesikhathi esedlule. Ngithanda ukubona ukuthi abadlali bamageyimu abancane bacabangani ngakho ngaphandle kokubheka emuva kwezibuko ze-nostalgia factor.

…nikela ngesihogo esisodwa

umoya omusha

nomoya we-nostalgic.

I-Setsuna inikezela ngendaba enhle egcwele ukukhuphuka kwemizwa nokwehla kanye nabalingiswa abangalibaleki. Iboleka kuyo yonke imidlalo efanele ukuze yenze izinqumo ezifanele zokusebenzisa imishini. Uthola lokho kanye okukhokhelayo kukho kokubili isikhathi sokudlala nezakhi ze-RPG. Kuphinde kwaba ikhefu elihle kusukela kubadubuli bomuntu wokuqala kanye nohambo lomuntu wesithathu. Amehlo ami azobe ese-Tokyo RPG Factory eminyakeni ezayo ukuze ngibone okulandelayo.

I-“I Am Setsuna” iyatholakala ku-PS4 Vita naku-Steam.
