@JasonHebert 14 днів тому
Yup. As a proud member of the "Called for Suikoden 6 for a decade and a half" club, I've been a little disappointed, and frankly surprised, at how the response has been to this game. It pales in comparison to the praise things like Chained Echoes and Sea of Stars got, despite doing many of the same things but much better. I'm sickened over Murayama's death but am happy he was able to give us one more gem and am pumped the series is continuing! Let's go for at least 5 entries
@Lock2002ful 14 днів тому
@@JasonHebert That is what is so insane to me. While I loved Chained Echoes and Sea of Stars, those games did nothing new or special at all and if we’re honest they used all the tropes there are in jrpgs. But that’s fine. These tropes exist for a reason. The scope of Eiyuden, not to mention the insane japanese voice work with so many characters and basically every line voiced, is huge. It’s bonkers if people, reviewers especially, praise those other two indie games so high but are leaving this gem of a game lying on the road. Then again, basically no one knows of Terra Memoria as no one covered it and it is a game that kinda reminds me of Grandia. Stumbled upon it only because of I dream of indie. Sometimes marketing really does matter and sometimes people are just not treating content fairly.
@ioannisdenton День тому
Chained echoes absolutely did new things. Combat was amazing and outs real time rpgs combat to shame
@JasonHebert День тому
@@Lock2002ful I've heard of Terra Memorial but never played it. My understanding was that it was more like a Minecraft or something, about building. I may have to check it out as I'm always actively looking for new JRPGs. I do think Chained Echoes did a couple things that were either new or at least pretty rare like the way characters were built instead of the traditional leveling and the reward board. But yeah it still was pretty much right in line with a traditional JRPG. Sea of Stars did nothing new, was just a total throwback and did absolutely nothing new. Don't get me wrong I vastly enjoyed both and they did a LOT right, most right even, but you can't praise them and criticize Eiyuden. I honestly think it's the random encounters that swayed people's opinions

Excelent review as always. I'm currently playing it and really loving the game. One thing that I think they nailed is the VA across the board. Considering the sheer number of characters, they did a great job conveying each character personality through the voice acting.
@aoihitori 15 днів тому
I played it on JP cuz in first few hours playing it on EN the translations are really off and completely changed the tone and interactions of the characters. There is a part that they should be throwing jokes but in EN they sounded like they hated each other. And this is not just one scene, but throught out the entire playthrough. I haven't finished it yet cuz I played it again in JP. I dunnu why people pretend that changing the context is fine to a story driven game. What if we they did the same thing with Western Games? I'm currently making list of mistranslations even though this is not my job but it hurts so much that whoever translated this might be hated their job so they butchered it or probably they hated JRPG so much.

Thanks for the review as always! I really like the fact that the normal battles are fast and you can just put it on auto while the boss battles are fun and challenging enough (at least on hard). Don't get me wrong, I love a complicated combat system with many layers just like anybody else. But most of the time they tend to overstay their welcome, especially in normal battles as you will be doing tons of them. Being able to do mindless grinding preparing for a boss while doing something else like catching up with your favorite shows or a podcast is something I really miss and this game provides just that. A very cozy and comforting game. While the game has certains problems, I think it has lots of potential to explore with its sequel (especially now that the devs have confirmed they are working on it).

Fair and balanced review! I will add that I think connection to the characters comes with investing your time into them just like it does with making friends in real life. If you bring a character with you (even if they're a support/backup) they'll interject personalized comments at points in story/conversation/exploration where it would make sense for that character. This is a little harder to do for characters you recruit near the end of the game, though. You can also reveal everyone's backstory a bit more at the divination booth if you want to know more about them. I think they did about as well as they could for such a large cast, but I do agree a bit more from some of the characters would have been nice. Perhaps we'll get more from some of the neglected ones in the DLCs once they come out.
@mooseclamps 15 днів тому
I really don't think they were trying to bring the classic jrpg formula forward at all. This game was kickstarter funded by Suikoden fans. The studio dug up the previously long retired creator of Suikoden 1-3 to make it (he recently passed RIP). It was always going to be a classic game aping off suikoden 1 and 2. Suikoden 2 is a masterpiece btw anyone who likes these types of games should play it. It is allegedly being remastered though so maybe just wait for that instead of playing an emulator
@Lock2002ful 15 днів тому
Very true. If you liked Suikoden 1&2 you’ll like this game as well. The remaster of Suikoden 1&2 is 100% true, they are probably simply waiting a bit after the release of this game out of respect and not to steal R&B’s thunder. Some of the R&B stuff also work on the Suikoden remaster, so.

Great review!! Its amazing how quick you 100% this even with a early copy. I am already playing the game for a while (lv2 town) but i can see some of the points that was mentioned in this video. namely resources in the beginning are scarce but as you progress it gets better. the trading system is a good way to get money but theres also the items that you can appraise which often being dropped by enemies. i love that this game hits my nostalgia for Suikoden and other JRPGs of old but makes it very playable with the art style and systems. Theres definitely lots of Quality of Life improvement that can be done but It wasnt really bothering me as much. ( i got the good old notepad beside me again... oh those were the days) i just wish for a "faster animation" setting, Garr's and Nowa's skill takes forever with trash battles. overall, i am loving the game

Not sure if you noticed since I don't recall you mentioning it, but in regards to the battle system - While you do select all of your actions at once before a turn starts, you can see the order in which all of the actions will occur, including the enemies, at the top of the screen. So if you need to heal someone you can use a character that will act before enemy will if you want to guarantee it goes off. In fact I would say a lot of the combat if you playing on full hard difficulty involves using the right attack order to take out enemies before they can attack.

Three just felt like you were really in it and if i remember correctly the game rewarded you for beating some of the harder scenarios that otherwise you lose due to story.

@BradPrichard 14 днів тому
Thanks for this one! I'm having a great time about 10 hours in. Definitely good to go in with the right expectations. They really really want you to know this is a lot of members of the Suikoden team making a game that is very much like Suikoden. I totally agree with your point about them trying and failing to modernize. Even just UI stuff is often harder than it needs to be. Doesn't have a huge impact on the game, but things like rendering times in the menu preventing you from scrolling through the tabs as quickly as you want are definitely present. But then I go out in the world and enjoy the plot and pick up a bunch of weird junk to take back to town, and I'm happy.
@BradPrichard 13 днів тому
Oh, just one other small thing. I think your point about the modern language in the localization is valid, but at the same time, the Japanese version has all kinds of very modern foreign loan words as well. I tend to think that's just kinda how they want it. Doesn't necessarily make it a good decision, but I think I would blame the original script just as much as the localization.

Good review. The game looks fun, even if not without some issues. You make the comparison to classic Final Fantasy games but also acknowledge that the game is more specifically modelled after Suikoden. Much of what you note about the game is stuff that you already know if you have played some of the old Suikoden titles. Did you play any Suikoden titles? The game seems geared to recreate the classic Suikoden experience and whether the game works ultimately or not will likely be whether it succeeds in appealing to Suikoden series fans or brings new fans into the series.

Autobattle works pretty well for non-boss fights especially if you take the time to go in and customize the logic it uses for each character in the "Battle Plan" menu. I do recommend setting it to fight without using MP as a partywide strategy though, or you'll find yourself without MP for bosses. Just stock up on healing items for them to use to heal you instead of using healing magic, for regular fights on auto.

I like how the game balances the story needed characters in your party and the player picking their character for combat. It is a game with 100+ characters so many will become "character of hat".

I love the choose first then the action happen. it make the combat more fun and add something you can work with or not care about.

Welcome to the Suikoden formula. Come for the story, stay for the character development of almost every character in the game and lore. The series could have been something if Konami allowed it to florish with the tons of lore it had. Mysteries from past civilizations and recurring (yes, recurring) characters. If Eiyuden continues it will likely follow this formula and hopefully add more to it.

I have very similar feelings to what you say here after completing the game as well. While it nails the *vibes* that made me love Suikoden as a young man, in some cases it was *too* faithful to the way Suikoden 1 & 2 was *mechanically*. While Suikoden 3 & 5 remain my favorites, I hope they refine the formula and keep pumping out more of the Suikoden style games I've always loved. As a last note, it was somewhat strange for me to learn "well, just how would Naruke and M. Sakuraba do a Suikoden soundtrack?" Overall I felt that the soundtrack was hit and miss sometimes, but that may be nostalgia talking.

To go along with your issues with combat: 1) Nearly all Hero Combos are worse than just attacking individually with each character 2) Magic is pretty much always weaker than physical (even just basic attacks) until very late game, and MP is so limited, items become more useful 3) I didn't even realize enemies had weaknesses until hours into the game, as there's no clear indicator when you hit a weakness or if they have a weakness at all. It's not like SMT or something where you see character/enemy affinities & "Crit" or "Weak" notifications pop up 4) You choose character attacks out of order from when you actually move in battle. You get to use to it, but it feels very different from other JRPGs where you select actions based on speed/turn order But I also agree with everything you mentioned about combat, like not being able to react in combat

Hope they fix this in the sequel coz no point using combos if they suck. 2 slot characters need to be buffed too. No point losing 2 chars to one. Think an extra support slot would be nice too. Most of the time you'll use Cassandra and never use the others. Also the support skills should say they are chance based to trigger. It's not 100%.

I never played the Suikuden series but I looked up combat and tried to compare it to this and it seems this game follows the same combat as the Suikuden series what makes Suikudens combat so different than this game because it looks like the enemy picks there move and target when they attack just like this game

Does the video mention anything regarding the game's auto battle? (I think it's called 'battle plan')? I'm trying to find more info but no-one seems to talk about it.
@MortismalGaming 14 днів тому
Its a pretty basic system so there just isnt much to tell really, you can select a few options that define what your party will try to do generally and then what each individual character will do. More often than not the default setting for each character is fine.
@hypersot 14 днів тому
@@MortismalGaming I'm a great fan of systems like in Dragon Age Origins and FF Zodiac where one can setup each character and then watch what happens in battle so I was wondering if this game had a similar system. It seems it's quite simplistic after all. Thanks for replying. Great review btw.

@foozlesprite 9 днів тому
There are no time-locked scenarios in the sense of having to rush before X number of hours have passed, but there is one story checkpoint you have to have all 119 other characters before in order to get the 120th/final character. I don't have confirmation on this but I have seen some guidemakers say they think there *might* be one or two other missable characters, but I personally did not have an issue getting them all. The only one I likely would have missed without guides was the final one, since I probably wouldn't have grinded out the beigoma minigame to get the two associated characters before that point. (Beigoma gets much easier with beigoma dropped from monsters in late game, so I was waiting until later to play it much.)

Try taking a walk. But in game its day light and nothing progresses the story. At all. I have no backup saves.

I think my principle annoyance with the game - and to be fair, it was a criticism of 1 and 2 - is that the special attacks are only marginally better than normal attacks. They LOOK cool, but don't FEEL cool. In 3 the big problem were there were some characters - mainly fist users like Juan - that had multiple attacks that invalidated a lot of the other characters. That being said, shout-out to Yusuke. Charge Up x2 into Armor Piercing Strike was producing 500 damage at level 20. I ended up not using Kuroto because of his really awkward, stiff posing compared to most of the other characters really dynamic look.

I started the game on gamepass. I'm glad I didn't buy it. It's not a bad game, but there is a moment when you have to stop being an hommage and you try to get some personality. And it seems from that review that the game will have little of it. I'm still going to have some fun. For a moment! Anyway, great review, as always.

The art style was amazing, the characters were fun, the combat was really frustrating and terrible. There seems to be some sort of joy stick bug where the game drifts on xbox making much of the content very frustrating, or in the case of the desert racing game unplayable. I really enjoyed the story, it was cliché, but i thought in a good way.

@foozlesprite 9 днів тому
It's not a tablet, but there is an NPC with an ability to search them out for you once you build a town add-on for them. Not gonna spoil the specific NPC for you but their ability set makes sense for their role, so once you meet them and see the upgrade in the town panel, you should be able to figure it out.

Nice. I poo-poo’d jrpgs for years. I played Legend of Heroes Trails form Sky and it changed my mind. I don’t love that whole series… but that game got me to try other jrpgs. I seem to favor the look and gameplay of older jrpgs. Playing Dragon Quest 1 now on switch… it’s awesome. A couple things you described about combat might have me hold on this one… hmmm. Do like the visuals. Thanks
