Although based heavily on classic Super NES era role playing games, I Am Setsuna has some modern gameplay elements thrown in, like the slightly confusing Materials and Spritnite systems.
What exactly is Spritnite? Essentially it’s like Materia from Final Fantasy 7, in that it lets a character use a specific attack or healing power that drains MP during battle.
Equipping Spritnite
Much like Materia, Spritnite can only be equipped if you have a Talisman that includes the appropriate slots. For instance, the Aqua Heart Talisman provides a Command and Support slot, while the Chaos Orb Bracelet only provides a single Support slot.
While you get some starting Spritnite for your basic powers like Cyclone and Heal at the start of the game, new Spritnite doesn’t actually become available until after beating the first two bosses and finally reaching Purikka.
When you finally arrive in Purikka, its important to unload all your Materials and start buying up new Spritnite.
Picking up Lightning turns Setsuna from dedicated healer only into a viable party member, while Aura transforms Endir from your big dumb tank into a well-rounded character that can help out when necessary
Additionally, some Spritnite can only be used by certain characters, while others are open to everyone.
Wondering if you can use it or not at this point in time? Open up the Obtain Spritnite screen at the Magic Consortium and check the right-hand side of the screen. It will tell you which character or characters are eligible so you don’t waste Materials buying extras you don’t need.
Acquiring Spritnite
Spritnite typically comes in Command or Support varieties. Command offers new Techs that must actually be activated in combat as though it were an attack, like using the area effect Cyclone or hitting a single target with Lightning.
Support instead offers passive effects that typically don’t drain MP, such as boosting your resistance to an element. Some still must be activated though, such as using Tech of the same element multiple times in a row or triggering Momentum as an attack lands.
Both types aren’t purchased with gold, but instead require you sell Materials to the Magic Consortium. Materials are acquired after battle by beating the same types of enemies in different ways.
For instance, beating a Pengy normally causes them to drop a Majestic Crest, but killing them with a Linked attack using Momentum that gets an Exact Kill causes them to drop a Majestic Crest, an Unknown shell, Sturdy Sheet Metal, and a Large Leaf.
Getting a monster to drop four different Materials at once makes the Enlightenment achievement pop.
While you can experiment with different types of kills using elemental and Momentum attacks to get more Materials after each battle, the Monsters tab of the Snow Chronicles menu also lists the different types of kills that will result in new Materials for each creature.
