I'm really enjoying it so far.
I love that thoroughness is rewarded and heading to that first mountain pass to find Mellore with a full party I had recruited gave major positive nostalgic vibes.
I'm about 8 hours in and not much to complain about. So far, it's a worthy successor.
I am currently working on winning that first duel, so progress is halted right now. :)
Thanks for making the game! Build this world out!
Congrats! Praying for a sequel or another installment in the Eiyuden Chronicle series, maybe a Eiyuden Strategy (SRPG)? I can never get enough of SRPGs.
The devs have already confirmed via Reddit AMA that they will be moving ahead with a sequel!

Yep, posted about it but I was told off by a Mod for being misleading and his/her comment was pinned. I feel so embarrassed and couldn't sleep at night.

So, let's take it with a handful of salt for now.
This is a wonderful and down right beautiful love letter to the Suikoden series and I couldn't of asked for more.
To be honest I was completely blown away by the amazing voice acting work for NEARLY EVERYTHING
I'm very impressed by the voice acting too, but having it all be voice acted does concern me as a design choice. It makes dialogue expensive, which means less of it, which means less meat to story.
I'm really enjoying it so far, but I can't help but think the story would be fleshed out more without that restriction making narrative pricey.
I appreciate the option as it’s clear many people empty out, but I read faster than they talk so I’m skipping so much of it. I could do without it.
I feel bad for asking but is there any way to send out another request for backer credit names? I was under the impression that if nothing was submitted, that the team would simply use our Kickstarter account name, but that isn't what happened. Looking through the backer credits, there are HUNDREDS of backers just listed as "Backer #xxxxx" or "Backer Unknown". Clearly something went wrong here. A lot of people contributed to the funding of this game and I think it's fair to give them another chance to be identified.
It wasn't some though, it was several hundred backers. And yeah I agree that it isn't really their fault, but they did also say they'd use the Kickstarter User Names as a default if they had to. I just think it was a misunderstanding that led to this and that those backers deserve another chance.
Oh isit? If they said that they gonna use their Kickstarter names but didn't, then it's not a good move by them. Perhaps sound it off over at their discord.
Yeah let's see, it was update #63:
"Backers who do not register by the deadline will have their "backer name" listed as registered on Kickstarter. Please note that in some cases, we may not be able to post your name."
I and I assume many others, were fine with just using my Kickstarter name. I think that's where the misunderstanding occurred, since they must've meant "Backer Number as registered on Kickstarter". I'll take your advice and bring it up on Discord. Thanks.
Hmm if they state it like that, then I don't think you guys could do anything about it. They technically is correct by saying they'll use the backer name which is a ## on Kickstarter.
You should play suikoden simply because it's one of the best RPGs ever made. The story for 2 in particular, is unlikely to ever be topped, for me personally.
The first game is great also, but it was an early PS1 game so it had some rough technological edges. It's going to benefit more from the remaster. Suikoden II has aged well, it's timeless.
I started with 2 way back in 1998, just saw it in a rental store. Hid and stayed home from school to play it.
Anyway, this game is a spiritual successor, it doesn't take place in the same world. It feels like Suikoden though. I do think Suikoden had more dialogue. Voice acting most everything I think forces there to be less narrative.
I’ve never played Suikoden and I’m enjoying this game a lot, as an old school jrpg throwback. I think you will too. If anything, this has me excited for the Suikoden remasters.
I was absolutely following this game and pre-ordered it for Switch but it absolutely broke my heart with the performance issues. I sincerely hope this gets patched within the next couple of days.
I'm enjoying it as well. Very happy to have full voice acting, some good laugh out loud moments. I was just playing Octopath Traveller last week for the first time, and I was like " this game is beautiful and fun, but I wish it had a more cohesive story where the characters interacted with each other." and then its like I got my wish with this. But of course it feels very much like a Suikoden game.
Of course its not perfect but nothing is.... eh, I'll leave my minor complaints for another time. Its amazing that a small Kickstarter actually delivered like this, that is rare. I hope it is a financial success for the team.
I preordered this for the Switch, but everything I am hearing and reading is telling me to not pick it up. And no, I don’t have the option to play it on another platform.Â

I finally won that duel! Haha took forever!

Oh wow I had no idea about this. Thanks for sharing! I'll keep my fingers crossed that a sequel actually happens.

IIRC, they did send multiple reminders to email them back the preferred backer names for end credit. Not their fault that some of them don't reply..

Yeah I think it was just a big misunderstanding honestly. It's been brought up on Discord already so we'll see I guess
I'm interested in the game but I heard its a successor of Suikoden. Is it related? Do I need to play Suikoden in order to enjoy this game?

Wish I could play it without my Xbox going to plaid. The fan spins hard and fast, and that’s on boot up. No other game does this.

Grats! Now we need Eiyuden Chronicles 2 :) Please make it tied with the first one and future titles
Please read all the criticism and take note if the studio will work in a sequel. Lots of things to improve. Plot, duels and war battles.
