Thank God. There were definitely some annoying ones.
Was Clive essentially the speedrun character where if you missed the timing you were locked out for the entire playthrough? If so, I hated that one the most.

Right. You have to do his events in Muse before you miss the flag or he's unrecruitable.
Awesome! I hated using a guide in Suikoden to collect all heroes.
Also hated all the gambling grinding and save scumming too…but that is a separate issue.
Yeah their performance was kind of disappointing for a 2-slotter.
Take up two spaces. Don't have much of a stat advantage to compensate. Don't even come with any skills or AoE Attacks
I was really excited to have a Giant Bear monster on my team and quickly found out there was not much I could do to make them worth it early on
The characters are a bit bare bones. I wish the Runes and Character specific skills were separate things so that each character was able to get more flavor/customization early on
Depends on the character but i have a few that have unique skills not tied to their runes.
Well friend hits like a truck right now , but him being 2 slots made the boss fight in the mines alot tougher then it needed to be.
There are definitely certain characters that don't get really good till you can either powerlevel them or get them runes they can take advantage of.
It does at least seem to expand and get much better once you unlock the first couple rune slots for everyone
I am hoping the depth of the game continues to expand. The encounter rate for random battles is nicely tuned but MAN are some of those dungeons long lol

If you wanted to finish his story, you needed to get to Sajah (sp?) Village, an endgame town in Suikoden II, in 12 hours.
Super difficult if you don't abuse the Matilda gate glitch.
Aren't all of these characters mentioned so far hinted at in the Old Books you collect? I'm not certain, but maybe they weren't.
The final flag for the Clive quest ends at 20 hours on the clock. This is documented over at Suikosource.
The issue with Mazus and Pesmerga is that you can't recruit either of them until you already have 100 Stars. So if you don't KNOW about them AND recruit enough people to get them, you can miss them in two ways.
For Eiyuden I hope there is a stone tablet or something similar that shows your list of recruits and the empty spots remaining to know how many left you need to recruit.
The Devs were a bit coy on how many characters in total for 100% completion is required so hopefully a monument similar to the one you get in Suikoden 1 and 2 also exists in Eiyuden.

I reached that city in 11 hours, but I have played this game so many times (beaten it about 13 times so far) and I was impressed how fast the events flow in Suikoden 2.
There's something really cozy about this. I'm breaking my "one JRPG at a time" rule and am going back and forth between this and Dragon Quest VIII on the 3DS. Just having a great time with both!
Nope. Looks like native 4K though, so the image is super-sharp!

I don't know how/if this will happen, but...
Sea of Stars had a really cool way to showcase backer statues in an optional dungeon. I am hoping Eiyuden does something similar.
Like, have a room in your castle where you can showcase backer statues (or whatever) so if you have friends, you can add their statues to the room as well.

Thanks, think ill play on pc, hdr with this game artstyle will be pretty as hell lol
I do a yearly playthrough of Suikoden 1 and 2. I held off this year because I waiting for the HD Remaster. I'll still do my playthough but I'm going prioritize Eiyuden.
so does the final game have sound effects lol?
It was pretty baffling when I played the beta, completely ruins the immersion.
There was no footstep sounds, no ambiant noises, nothing, it was just music. Felt like one of those OST videos on youtube where they play the game but disable everything except the music lmao

That answer doesn't necessarily mean there won't be any convoluted recruitment methods, it just says that anyone like that wouldn't be permanently missable. A guide could still be needed, lol.
It didn't really bother me tbh. I just went back to some old JRPGS from PS3 to PS2 to PS1. Yeah, some to most I checked did have some footsteps/ or ambient sounds and even Suikoden 2 had ambient sounds but still no footsteps.
Frankly, as long as the music is good, I didn't really notice the lack of those sound effects.
Edit: I'm in the abandoned Mine area now and moving the carts do have applied sound effects to those.

Idk, coming from octopath traveler 2 and SO2R it was pretty baffling to me, those games felt much more immersive. Sound goes a long way immersion wise.
I legit don't understand why they didn't put sound effects in a game coming out in 2024 lmao like what
Although I'm having a great time so far with this game, admittedly this is making me very excited for Suikoden 1 & 2 Remastered.
I hope Konami gives us a release date soon-ish.
As far as Eiyuden, I have but one word: FRANCESCA!

her character/VA is hilarious 😂
She was definitely my favorite from the beta lol. The VA nails it. Don't think she'll leave my party.
All characters have a title like this.

In regards to the game itself. I'm quite certain there are stuff just straight up missing from the pre-release build.
I mentioned earlier that in some houses the interiors are dark and have no lighting of any sort, but I also believe some houses are completely empty too. Like there was one house you visit the village Elder and the there was no furniture or decorations, or I could be mistaken and it was a town hall for meetings but it seems there are several buildings like this. I have no issues with the towns. They feel lived in with tons of NPCs walking about and doing their thing, kind of almost like Muse in Suikoden II, but at times it feels the interiors are just not done at all and there is a big patch just waiting to add the missing stuff.
Kind of sucks that the physical copy will remain as such unpatched but at least the digital versions should technically be content complete. Good thing I opted for a Steam copy for my digital version. Should be a nice game to play on my Steamdeck. In the meantime I'm still going to enjoy my PS5 disc copy.
I realize that im just saying along with her intro of argueing with the guys , the "Ill Mannered Healer" title was a nice bow on it
I fucking adore her. Idk if its spoiler to say how she acts, but i don't think she is leaving my party.
It's fantastic.
This is coming from someone who places Suikoden II as their personal favorite game of all time. Eiyuden is immediate instant classic in my eyes.
arghhhhhhh there's too many games. i'm really hyped for this but damn time is so short :(
I love the fact that she has voiced lines in events where it lets one or two of your random party members chime in and she's awesome every time the game lets her speak. Probably going to do another playthrough when I figure out which slot to put her in to make sure she speaks during every event LOL
She's my permanent healer, so she's been in a ton of scenes for me- all great! 😝
Yeah. Unless you're Digital Deluxe, in which case you get access the 21st.
