Ah lily......I hate you for always missing for half of Hugo story!!!
Hope we get detective bios in Eiyuden, if only for more marvelous snippets like Lily and Chris's drunken brawl.
That is what Spirit Detective Agency is.
A lot of goals on the KS page were hit already.
I haven't actually read most of the stretch goals so that's great to hear
Yes. God yes. It adds so much character lol.Hope we get detective bios in Eiyuden, if only for more marvelous snippets like Lily and Chris's drunken brawl.
Oh, am I supposed to add that amount to my pledge? I didn't see any text about how that works exactly. Wasn't sure if it was going to be a survey add-on or something like other Kickstarters have done after they ended.
Now I'm about to go back and read theseHope we get detective bios in Eiyuden, if only for more marvelous snippets like Lily and Chris's drunken brawl.
I backed 2 projects that fell flat and to me Project Phoenix looked legit since it had a lot of reputable names attached to it.
I haven't been following this Kickstarter closely, I only saw news about it and watched the trailer. I mean it reached its goal so I don't feel pressured to contribute. Suikoden 1 and 2 are among my favorite jRPGs so I'm actually looking forward to it.
I backed Project Phoenix too but nah in retrospect that kickstarter had all the bad signs over it.
You say because they had reputable names attached to it but when you read the kickstarter it's clear all those names are only attached to it in a freelancer fashion. Also the project lead Yuasa isn't a producer/designer he's a musician by trade. Most of the stuff they've shown were only concept art.
Of course it's also a bit the result of the kickstarter meta changing based on the failures but it's still noteworthy that the videos they've shown for eiyuden right out of the gate are a much more solid indicator of it having had major investment put into it even before it did the kickstarter.
But yeah not really trying to convince to back this I'm not backing this one either, just Project Phoenix was a much more uncertain thing from the outside based on how the kickstarter was structured.
Gotta use Pooby heart until 2022/Eiyuden's release
Yeah you add the amount listed for the add-ons and when the campaign is over you can select which ones you'd like.
Its explained in the Add-on section which is just above "Why Kickstarter"
lol the newest update:
"Western-Style Box Art
Some fans of Murayama-san and Kawano-san's previous work might remember some particularly...unusual Western box art that saw the light of day in the West. We're happy to announce that after finally unlocking the last tier of the Painter's Gallery in the social game, Kawano-san will be creating alternate "Bad Western Cover Art" that will ship with every physical copy of the game...whether you like it or not! But as they say: "Beauty is in the eye of the backer"."

god this is great. I wish I could buy it as an add-on.
I legit can't believe how right they got it. This is my favorite black character design in a video game. It's just so good.
Thanks. No PC release? Well, looks like i need to dust off my PS Vita after all those years ...
That's tough because 3 is definitely my favorite but yeah, I think 2 is probably the definitive "Suikoden" experience.
Side note, I'd like to keep my copy of Suikoden V (and don't have the case to properly sell it anyway) but if any Suikoden fans here haven't had the chance to play it because of rarity/price I'm willing to loan it out if you pay the shipping to and from. Just lemme know.

2 years for an Avatar bet where nobody even bet against me technically? Seems harsh.
I recommend 1 and 2 to TBH, both games are relatively short, comparable length to a single typical 40 Hour long RPG, Also a lot of character introductions and back story for folks in S1 who are returning cast in the 2nd game.
Anyways, Iga Interview for Eiyuden in the latest update.

2... which is also my favourite JRPG ever.
But I'd recommend to play the first one before as it's really short and you might like 2 even more after that because they're only a few years apart.
The last 24 hours is definitely generally the best stretch for Kickstarter projects outside of the first few days so I expect a strong close and I think there's a chance we get to those 4.25 and 4.3 goals, though they're no sure thing. That said, this is not being helped by the fact that the gaming media has seemingly been incredibly quiet on this campaign. Major sites more or less ignored it, or gave it a brief mention when it started but never followed up. I know there's a lot of Kickstarter burnout, but this is the most successful gaming Kickstarter in years, you would think that would be news...
All that said, things seem to be picking up. Its gone up like 7000 in the last 15 minutes, so that's pretty good.

We ran a couple of articles on it, doing our "little best" to make folks aware of something rad. Unfortunately, the site's had some major technical issues lately, so outside of social media posts we haven't been able to grab a loudspeaker.
I totally agree with you; the major sites really haven't given Eiyuden its due.
I've already contributed but personally I don't really care about a backstory novel before I even know if I'll like the story and world the game tells.
What is the novel anyway? Like an actual written novel? Will it be an ebook only or will there be a print version?
ive been avoiding reading the updates because i want most everything to be 100% fresh when i play the game.

Manage your pledge and add the required amount of money for the steelbook (I think it's 2,200 Yen).
Cool. The next step will be during the backer survey that will be sent some weeks after the end of the Kickstarter. In it, you will have to specify that the additional money you put in is for the steelbook for your console of choice.
Got it. I've never played Suikoden but the passing behind this project compelled me to support it.
It's weird because it's all set to enter the top 4, maybe top 3 and I feel like I saw articles when it started and then basically. Nothing else. Did Bloodstained get this little press?
Speaking anecdotally, I think Bloodstained got more exposure during its Kickstarter phase, yeah. I suppose we'll see how much the media ramps up coverage for this one while it's in development!
Isn't V notoriously hard to find? I agree it's a fine game, but II would certainly be more accessible (digitally via PSN).
Bloodstained happened the same year Kojima left Konami so there was a lot of anti-Konami sentiment not to mention heavy demand for console Castlevania that really helped push it. It was the perfect storm of everything that had positive results for the funding campaign.
There was also an English PR team with Fangamer and Ben Judd.
5 years later and a lot of folks pretty much in a Meh about the Konami IP's at this point. So Eiyuden isn't getting much boost in that regard. Also Suikoden was relatively niche, especially compared to Castlevania at least.
I believe it's a digital novel, so expect an ebook or pdf of some kind. It's hard to hate on it too much because it sounds like it'll be done well, but I'm not kickstarting this project to get a book at the end.
