Eiyuden Chronicle: Hundred Heroes trancends the bridge between JRPGs of old and present day providing a overall masterclass JRPG experience.
'Graphics Mode' and 'Balanced Mode' are also on the way.
Sure hope they can work out the performance issues on PS5 and take care of some of issues with the draw distance of things like shadows.
Kinda baffling that a game that's obviously not taxing on hardware gets a graphics and balanced mode. Good game though but I really hope they hire a new UI designer for their next game
Yeah, being so slow to do things is kind of annoying. I'm at the end of the game and I was upgrading everyone's weapon to max level, and if I did it all in one sitting, it'd probably take 45 minutes to do. I would have loved the auto advance dialogue if there wasn't such a delay in moving on to the next line when it reached the end, but oddly works great if you press the button to advance the on-screen text. I just HATE that you get the sound effect of the button press without a way to turn it off.
If you're going for recruiting all heroes, be aware there's a point of no return at some point that will lock you out from one of the major heroes. I won't spoil it, but you may want to look into that if it matters. That's what pissed me off the most. Otherwise, loving the game. I'll certainly be getting the DLC and keeping an eye out for a sequel.
yeah I had exactly the same issues that you are describing. Everything takes SO LONG to do when it should be done in a second. For the rest I'm really enjoying it though, Eiyuden and Sea of Stars have been games I've been looking forward to for a long time now.
Thanks for the headsup, I'm not at the end yet and hope that I didn't miss him/her
"Eiyuden Chronicle: Hundred Heroes is a throwback JRPG that hits all the right notes with its epic story and spectacular grand battle system."

Review - Eiyuden Chronicle: Hundred Heroes is packed with stuff to do; a very polished product that just deserves to be played.
I'm definitely having a blast. This game makes it feel like this is how Suikoden really looked when I first played it. I'm loving the art style. Hopefully they're getting a good deal by putting it on Game Pass. I've been following this project and backing it since 2020 and the developers are a group of amazing people.
I don't mind if the game isn't perfect. I backed it so that I and other Suikoden fans could simply have more Suikoden, and this seems to be precisely that.
Backlog is crazy but I'm interested in trying this out. Hope it sells well.
