We have made minor adjustments to how the search bar works on ResetEra. You can read about the changes here.
You order keys well ahead of time and they arrive when your account manager tells them they'll arrive. Console keys are not an instant process and afaik always need human approval in my limited experience.
I think he is just talking about sending out the keys if they do it now they would have to be active. They can't send them out and then turn them on on the 18th. Realistically Yetee should already have the keys waiting until the 18th to generate thousands of keys would be a little crazy.
I just sent an email asking what was going on and explainibg that i had already paid shipping, and that others were already getting their games. Shortly after that the game was sent.
I had a lot of pages to comb through so I may well have missed this, but has anyone put together some impressions yet that's put some time in since the patch dropped yesterday? The impressions I did notice while skimming around did seem positive (but very early yet). I only played on Suikoden game years and years ago (the first one) and I have really no functional memory of it, so I'm going in basically like it's a new IP/JRPG entirely but I like the way it looks and the gameplay seems right up my alley, so I'm pretty excited for next week so far.
I see, guess it make sense that things are more complicated on the console side.
Wonder if it has to do with the nice Collector's Edition that japan got as well. Seems like we are just getting whatever the retail copy is for each region.
JP version, but in SoCal. I paid for shipping as soon as I could.
No shipping info or anything.
I guess they're shipping the JP versions somewhere in the US first then sending from there.
Gonna be a while yet I reckon...

"That's not an eclipse, that's just the moon in front of the sun." lol
I will probably just open a Paypal case to get the attention of the Yetee if they dont get their hads out of their asses in a few days. I contacted them twice and got no answer at all
I backed but I missed the email where I could pay for shipping and confirm my address, is there somewhere I can go to do that? edit: nm got it
a reversible cover implies that the backside of the cover also has all the elements required for the front side, such as the ps5 label, the game's title, etc.
The 100 characters are all, more or less, viable in combat. I try to experiment with ones I don't usually play with whenever I do a replay of Suikoden 1, but I almost always end up settling on the same ones I like lol
If you're worried about finding one later that you like, but they're underleveled, it's easy to get them caught up at least.
if its anything like Suikoden then half the characters won't be playable
A lot just open shops and do stuff at your base
I mean patch is good but we don't fully know what changed. I played a lot yesterday after the patch and it fixed a few nitpicks i had right away. Idk what the progression breaking thing is and there is absolutely no info to know if it did actually fix it or not, I did start playing before that patch but didn't get super far yet. I honestly would like to know what it is and if it would affect the physical copy not updated though and if it can just be manually avoided.
I can tell you party chats now have a sound indicating they are happening, it's minor but that's a huge plus for me. It still should have a log though as it's still easy to miss them if you aren't paying full attention.
I have run into that bug where the Dash Boots accessory appears to affect cutscenes and it's so bizarre cause it's like it animates faster but they aren't moving faster so whatever system animates for movement isn't taking into account it's in a cutscene or not and it looks absurdly hilarious. I just took them off for now and i move slower but whatever, taking my time more with the game is good i guess. Even with them off though there are some moments where i'm not sure cause a character runs so fast in a cutscene lol, but it def was affecting with them on.
Other than that, game itself is amazing. Plot really ramps up fairly fast past the first dungeon. There's a lot of backtracking if you are trying to collect everyone as i haven't unlocked a lot of the systems that let you move around faster like teleporting yet, but usually these games you have to find the person that unlocks that feature. It truly is a Suikoden game in all but name and it's fucking amazing so far, bugs and all.
Took me awhile to find this thread but I made it!
My steam copy is on the way .... I have no idea why I opted for a steam physical copy (which is likely a code in a box i guess?) but here we are
Loved what I played of the Backer demo and somewhat regretted it since I put almost 10 hours in! How long is that demo?!?!?!
Anyways I have no idea if the save file will transfer but if not then I don't mind going through it again. Very fun game so far and runs pretty good on the Steam Deck!

starts around a 7/10 for me, but at this point it's shot to a 10/10. I mean it's an opinion and i usually like a lot of stuff others don't so take that for what it's worth. It's very political war anime, but that's not a bad thing for me.
Earlier would have been nice, but they promised 3 days before the release date, so there is still time.
I'm waiting for more impressions regarding the technical state of the game. Might finish Ronin first before starting this one.
I've never played Suikoden so I don't really have anything to go off of but has anyone mentioned if you can "spend time" with different characters ala other JRPGs like Persona? Obviously it won't be as in depth as those games but I'm curious if that feature is there at all?
Dont know if this one, on Suikoden games you can trigger different scenes in side content like the headquarters baths, theatre etc each character also had their unique storyline in their recruitment plotline, some would be very brief and others more elaborated
That's actually very good to hear. I love that type of thing.
I thought I was going to be fine with playing this game in April, only I'm now stuck in late game grinding for Persona 3, and only just got to Corel in FFVII Rebirth, so... Yeah, I badly planned this out.
Yes this is def the case. Idk exact numbers, but i already have quite a few that aren't playable but you recruit for base management stuff, some are support only so they give you an effect to your party. You can have one support person selected per party it seems, dunno if that changes later cause some supports seem very convenient to limit to one at a time.

You might get a LITTLE bit of insight based on dialogue they give if they're in the party during certain scenes, but most of it will be stuff you glean whenever you do side-activities/mini-games with the characters around your base.
If you're looking for something as in depth as Social Links, I don't think you'll be satisfied here.
We don't know when the codes will be delivered, but they said 72 hours before launch for backers which would be 4/20 or in four more days. So, just wait and see?
The most recent backer email said codes would be distributed on the 18th, before the 72h early access starts (the timing of which is platform dependent).
They finally answered to my first E-Mail from Friday.
"Hello,
Thanks for reaching out and thank you for your patience as we work through emails. A label has been created and your order is being processed for shipment. Below is a link to track your package-
httpsXXX
Please allow 24 hours for tracking to update."
And just minutes before that there was indeed a label created.
Now this is all a bit sus, does that mean they finally got to work and finally tried to send off my game because of my E-Mail? The timing is kinda weird. Like they read that and then went like "Oh yeah, this should get going too" What if I didn't write them? 🤔
But now there is a different problem. Any other Germans or Europeans here with a fresh DHL code and a delivery that's still at label created or on it's way??
For whatever reason, and it SHOULDN'T be like this. When I try to enter the postal code for the recipient for more informations, it says it's wrong. Now I'm scared if it's even really coming to me. This should always work as far as I know even if it's still in the label created status.
Is this working for anyone else correctly here?

I've seen some people on Steam installing retail copies today. I wonder how they're getting theirs?
Fingers crossed.
There was a physical PC option that came with a code in a box. I would bet they got them through that.
they probably got the pc physical like i did. mine is shipped. should get it before friday

Lmao I got a message too and my order was apparently transmitted to DHL the exact same time as yours (lol). When my enter my Postal code it shows my Name and everything tho. Also that its being handeled by Black Screen Records
They have to be doing that already though? Backer and standard versions have different unlock dates. You can preorder the game right now and it'll sit in your library waiting to be unlocked, so that needs to be a different version than what backers are getting.
What a pisstake if we've gotta message them to get any information on shipment? If that even is your shipping code and not some other random joes lmao.They finally answered to my first E-Mail from Friday.

What a utter mess.
Legit don't understand why digital unlock is on Apr 20 when physical copies arrived for some folks like a week ago. Why not unlock it sooner? I get that it's hard to pivot on an established distribution strategy, but why were they planned so far apart. If the game is gold and some buyers can play their physical copies now, what is the harm in having digital copies be playable now?
The digital unlock date was already set ahead of time by R&B/505, then The Yetee fucked things up by sending some physical copies way too early and others way too late. It wasn't planned to turn out the way it did.
R&B is working on another patch for early access and are still saying that playing it before that can cause issues. They obviously didn't intend for the game to be available already.

I swear it said the 18th in the last email I got
Is it variable?
Digital Edition Backers
We will begin distributing game keys on April 18, 8AM (EST)/April 18, 9PM (JST). As with the beta version, you will be able to obtain your serial code for the downloadable version by logging into The Yetee Productions Eiyuden Hub.
Shoot so maybe its just the code distribution?
