I'm getting the Physical

Just pre-ordered it on Best Buy

Edit- I just cancelled it

There's no PS4 physical..

So digital it is than..

Welp...

 

[NotMyProblemAnymoreCunt]

[Majima Everywhere System]

Was gonna play on my last month of gamepass, now what?

 

[Vyse]

Just downloaded!

 

[NotMyProblemAnymoreCunt]

Which system?

 

[Vyse]

Series X

 

[StereoVsn]

Oh come on, you can have an old-school battle system while still having fast battles/animations. And I remember Suikoden 1&2 having much faster battles than most of the 32-bit JRPGs in that era. I don’t buy that “the reviewers just expected the wrong thing!!” excuse.

Depends on the reviewer I would say. One I posted Xygor, quite liked it. Others not so much or were in the middle.

Going to wait and see how Steam reviews pan out.

Wait, no PS physical? What about PS5, could swear I saw it.
Edit: Yeah, it is coming out for PS5 physical.

I'm not getting a PS5. I just preordered the digital version for PS4

Does it run better or worse than say Ni no Kuni on the Switch? Really want this game but the performance issues were always a bit worrisome. Ni no Kuni was rough in parts on the Switch too but perfectly playable.

 

[Pallas]

I've also found this tweet comparing loading times between the PS4 with an SSD and the PS5. If you don't have an SSD installed in your PS4, the loading times will probably be 2-3 times longer.

My physical series X version was suppose to arrive yesterday… good ol’ USPS. Should hopefully get it Monday, but enough about that, how are the series X load times? If you heard anything about that version.

Supposedly it’s pretty rough according to couple reviews. Load times were very slow and frame rates tanked.

From impressions, PC version serms to be the best version. Both Switch and PS5 are lower quality. I regret my decision to go PS5.

Retarded localization, confirmed.

Problems with Lians Localisation :: Eiyuden Chronicle: Hundred Heroes General Discussions

My previous thread was locked having devolved into a "non-productive argument" despite requesting otherwise. I wanted to avoid that and make this thread as productive as possible and non political so I will focus this subject on Lians localisation. You can agree or disagree that Lians portrayal...

And I already got it

I guess I'm going with Japanese Language with English Subtitles this time

Wtf how is the PS5 lower qualities for THIS frickin game?! Japanese devs are incompetent AF with coding.

 

[amigastar]

I've read that the game has many cutscenes with dialogue. Not a big fan of that. Also the combat system may be a little casual. I don't know if i will try it, honestly. The game is probably nothing for me.

My physical series X version was suppose to arrive yesterday… good ol’ USPS. Should hopefully get it Monday, but enough about that, how are the series X load times? If you heard anything about that version.

The SX version looks to be in good shape, however, Pure Xbox did mention that they've experienced sound issues after using quick resume, and some very mild stuttering on rare ocassions. They didn't touch on loading times so presumably they're just as fast as on the PS5.

Is this PS5 native vs PS4 version of PS5 instead of PS4 version on a SSD inside a PS4?

 

[Thick Thighs Save Lives]

The PS4 version installed on an SSD on PS4 hardware vs the PS5 native app.

 

[Panajev2001a]

The PS4 version installed on an SSD on PS4 hardware vs the PS5 native app.

Expected PS5 to do better in this case, they are likely just bruteforcing the same I/O path. SSD on PS4 does not buy 2-3x loading times improvements in average… you are still limited by the SATA interface. Maybe they are making tons of unoptimised random accesses, seek times be damned?

Actually I was wrong lol. In that test it's the PS4 version running through BC on PS5. The native PS5 version should be faster (maybe someone can test it).

 

[Miyazaki’s Slave]

I have my KS code redeemed on PS5 and I’m just waiting for Humble Store to get keys so I can get it up on my Steam Deck as well

I don’t my KS code yet. When did you get your email?

I am dumb. Thanks for the heads up about yours…was able to track my codes down.

David Vinc with a great review IMO, his complaints are mostly about the lacking QOL stuff and how in some ways the game is too retro

overall he loves it and thinks it’s great but describes it as a PS2-era game, I have a feeling that us older gamers are going to love it (like David) but it’s not going to really attract people that weren’t already fans

Idk how I’ll like it, but it’s wild that the major complaint is the game knows its audience and gave them a game they want.

Not everything needs to be for everyone.

Looks like suikoden fans and nostalgia trippers are in for a treat. Same folks who herald the octopath games will likely love this.

 

[Punished Miku]

Same folks who herald the octopath games will likely love this.

If it's anywhere even close to Octopath 2 I'll be very satisfied.

 

[Wolfpact1983]

Eiyuden sounds like in german when you say hey Jews! It’s a bit of a turnoff for me when it comes to the name.

They tend to give As to any Western AAA Games and tend to give lower scores to Japanese made games

I haven’t seen a review pop up from him yet, Kali-Q has one but I haven’t had time to watch it

I just recently subscribed to Kali-Q

PS5 version seems to be in the best shape so glad I picked it up on that system. Figured the Switch version would be busted since the hardware is ancient at this point. Or maybe the devs stretched themselves too thin, like Iga on Bloodstained which had a completely broken version on Switch. Still salty I bought it.

I bought Bloodstained on Switch too and Man that version was bad

Happy I preordered the digital version on PS4.

I think the developer is stretched thin. I've been playing Unicorn Overlord on Switch and it's runs great so far and everything loads fast. I'm around 20 hours into that game. From what I seen of Eiyuden Chronicles, that shouldn't be taxing on Switch

 

[Mr Hyde]

Regarding reviews I ain't listening to them since I bet a majority of reviewers weren't even born when Suikoden launched. And now they are deducting points and criticizing Eiyuden for being too similar to Suikoden and old school Jrpgs, which is precisely what the devs intended it to be? Get fuck out with that shit.

That's good to know

I grew up with the Suikoden games too

What they are complaining about is what I want from that game

 

[graywolf323]

first impressions from Mortismal, he usually focuses more on CRPGs so I’m intrigued what he’ll think of Eiyuden

edit: for those not familiar with his channel, he won’t do a full review of a game until he’s 100%ed it

 

[graywolf323]

David just made a hints and tips video

 

[begotten]

This game fucking rules man.

Eiyuden isn't trying to be a modern turn-based 2DHD JRPG. It is a JRPG from the 90s.

 

[Mr Hyde]

I'm 110% sure Eiyuden Chronicles will deliver the goods to us who loved Suikoden and 90s Jrpgs.

I hope so

The PS1/PS2 are what I consider the Golden Age of JRPGs

Eiyuden is beautiful. There's so many character & plot throwbacks to Suikoden 1 & 2.

This shouldn't be a spoiler but... no joke, I shed a few tears during the first Duel Battle in Eiyuden. Felt like the game put me in a time capsule and sent me back in time with how it recaptured Suikoden 2.

You mean the reviewers who gave Unicorn Overlord 88 Open critic, or FF VII Rebirth a 93, Like a Dragon Infinite Wealth 90, Octopath 2 85, Dragon’s Dogma 2 87……

Seems like most recent JRPGs are getting pretty generous reviews.

 

[Jooxed]

As a huge Nintendo stan……….i got my copy for steam deck and love it.

 

[touchfuzzy]

I kind of knew there was design issues when in the very first forest area I followed a winding trail off the beaten path to find... a dead end. No treasure, no item, not even a random cutscene. Just head back the other way and enjoy the long load times for the extra random battles.

True I'm just being hyperbolic again

But than again those games are much more westernized

As in much more censored when it comes to Sexy Fanservice of attractive female characters. I shall see how that is handled in Eiyuden Chronicles though

He's a PS fanboy.

 

[Labadal]

I'll put it simply: If you liked Suikoden II, you will like this.
