I'm a few hours in. It feels very much like a Suikoden game, just without the name. The scores are probably being lower because the developer is going for an old school feel

I don't care about reviews.

The fact that people who have played it say it genuinely feels like a Suikoden game is all I need to know.

Can't wait to start it.

I tried not to watch too many myself, but there was this one youtube review I came across where the vast majority of complaints was about things oldschool PS1/saturn era jrpgs did, etc. no directions/waypoints etc. (Their other complaints was about the ass-cheeks switch performance....which is fair. Switch version is rough). Siliconera gave the game a 5 I think solely because of the switch version's issues.

From what I gathered if you are going into this game expecting a throwback jrpg from that era you are going to love this since.....well, its exactly what they did with the game.

.....also do not get the switch version. Seriously.

Save spots alone probably knock off an entire point for younger reviewers, honestly. World map and random encounters too, for that matter.

I'm in love with the game though. Switch version is a bit rough, but still loving the game. The FPS issues don't bother me because they don't really impact anything honestly.

Its not so much the FPS that people are annoyed with when it comes to the switch version, but the load times. God damn those loads would annoy the shit out of me very, very quickly.

https://imgur.com/a/4WorMyW

On the switch it has lengthy loads for the random encounters and story cutscene transitions, and since that is the things people would be seeing the most throughout the game I can imagine its going to aggravate many people.

I get no game on the switch if it is on any other console for this very reason.

Got the PS5 version, and it's been running great.

Almost 7 seconds to start a battle is ridiculous

guess the switch version is trying to emulate everything about the ps1 days

Yikes. I hope there's going to be some fixes for those loading issues. I got the Switch version because it was part of the Buy 2 Get 1 Free sale that Best Buy had for members a while back.

Ah.

Ever since I probably put a thousand hours in to Resident Evil Outbreak games I've been completely immune to load times bothering me in any capacity. Minute long load times every single time you open a door. Entire game freezing for 5+ seconds opening the map. Anything less than that just doesn't even register to me lmao

I played and loved resident evil outbreak files 1 and 2 myself. Many hours spent playing online with derpy kevins doing derpy kevin things. Still have my discs too right over here on my PC desk.

I absolutely fucking hated the RE outbreak HDD-less PS2 load times back then and always wished the game got a OG xbox port specifically so it would be on a console with a built-in HDD and much better online capabilities during it's era. It never happened, lol.

I started playing CD-based games with the sega CD and load times with some of these games was pretty damn bad in today's standards.
(I played enough sega cd to the point where I genuinely felt the average PS1 game's load times were blazing fast in comparison).

I guess what I am trying to say is I been through it and know some booty loads (lol). I personally wouldn't want to experience them in 2024, but at the same time I do salute to the gamers that can still deal with it with no problems.

Reviewers seem upset that the game is an old school RPG rather than making some new take on battle such as in Sea of Stars.

Thing is? This is exactly what I want, I can't put the game down. It feels just like I'm playing a Suikoden game.

Regarding load times? On PC they are great, I hear they're great on PS5 as well. It's Switch and PS4 that are the problem, I heard one person complain about PS4 but a ton complain about the Switch. Honestly I didn't even know it was available on PS4.

I may hold out a bit on it. Most of the bad reviews are for the Switch version which doesn't effect me. But eh some other performance issues maybe.... I just may wait a week *shrugs* undecided at the moment. Some complaints do seem a bit dumb. It's like people can't play a Playstation 1 game again without tons of "QoL options."

This. I'm buying it on Tuesday evening, but then immediately shelving it until I'm done with Unicorn Overlord and Rebirth. Can't wait until I actually play it, I just want to get a physical copy before it becomes rare.

Yeah, this is me right now. USPS is supposed to be bringing my copy to me right now, but once I get the game I'll play it for like a hour or so just to check up on the PS5 performance and then put it on the side for later since im still clearing out both FF7 rebirth and persona 3 reload myself, lol.

It's a Japanese indie game, so that sadly means it's already losing at least 2 points compared to a Western AAA game's score, in our shit-tastic modern games journalism rating system.

7/10 is about as good as it was going to get. Maybe 8/10 if it was the most amazing JRPG of the past decade.

Was Sea of Stars really that much better than this game? The demo never hooked me and I read that game just boils down to using the same few attacks in combat later anyways. So not sure about the hype/praise around that one.

As long as the base PS4 version runs fine I'll do some more research. I'll probably get it soon. I heard there are some surprisingly tough puzzles later on. Stuff like that would anger me more than 5-10 fps drops on ocassion hah but I am certainly not normal or obsessive over technical aspects.

This is what I did, just with regards to Rising Tides and Rebirth, now both of those are shelved instead.

Oh and Kamil? No. I'm WAY more hooked on this than Sea of Stars. Also Sea of Stars has no scene that's the same caliber as that first duel.

So much of this is basically Suikoden 6 (or 3 if you want to continue it off of S2 and staying 2d. My theory had always been this was what Murayama wanted for S3 but everyone was going 3d. He left after S3. They even have a somewhat trinity system.)

There was definitely some changes in the gameplay obviously. I haven't gotten to far in (10hrs) but I can tell the Rune system is somewhat like the skills system from 3-5. Which I enjoyed because they gave me much more customization over characters. The voice acting seems to be good so far, and I'm glad each character so far has had VO and even battle/victory voices!

I don't feel like the scores are a fair show of the game, because it seems to be based around the horrible switch port but all switch port are garbage because the switch can't handle new games.

I can't wait to go deeper into the game's story and characters.

Like what's wrong with it?

-_-

It's a fucking 2D (or 2.5D) game, it shouldn't have problems on the Switch :(
I backed it on Switch... I think we get digital copies since the physical is delayed? But I see no email for it yet.

Really got stuck between a rock and hard place back in 2020 when the KS happened. Wanted a physical copy (PC out), didn't want to give Sony money or risk a censored copy (PS4 out, PS5 never even an option), kinda just left Switch and hoping there'd be a new Nintendo console by now. Back in 2020, seemed inevitable there would be by the time this came out. I guess I could've switched to PS4 last year, but I really didn't think Switch would be a problem, even though the company clearly never wanted to put it on Switch from the very beginning...

I had 2 friends stream the game, one on the PS5 and the other for the Switch, and the Switch version had long load times, inconsistent frame rates, and the game froze on my friend twice...something that was no present on the PS5 version. It just sounds like a case of outdated tech and/or bad port in general.

Regarding why it's woke, apparently they don't like a couple of the localisation lines in the game. They've invoking Sweet Baby Inc outrage.

Oh That nonsense. So they are combing over all the dialog looking for something woke, pointing out the small handful of the over one hundred main characters with dark skin, and using that as their proof it's "woke."

And it's the SJWs, it's the woke who are the snow flakes right?

Yeah, a lot of the "woke" talking points is that supposedly the localization changed a lot of the dialogue, this being one of those things where it wasn't present in the original Japanese dialogue.
