Suikoden 3 is really good too. It's a bit of a technical disaster though. It has a really brilliant system where you switch characters and it shows parts of the same story from different points of view and the antagonists actually use this to their advantage. If you are a fan of 1 and 2 then the stuff you unlock with the 108 stars in 3 is really cool and it's also a continuation of the POV angle.

Best thing about S3 is that the villain

Is a minor character from 1 and 2, fucking shook me when it was revealed to be Luc

I loved the story in Suikoden III and the character design was top notch. Hugo, Chris, Geddoe (as well as the amazing Thomas) were all great characters. The worst part about it is the tons of backtracking you have to go through, the map with event areas just didn't work for me, and that one mountain was a chore. The skills leveling system was weird but I had fun with it.

And the skits! Don't forget the skits!

Is there any way to pay for this if you don't have a credit card?
Was ready for the 120€ pledge but I can't choose my debit card.

It really depends on what you mean by better. It's really debatable. What Chrono Cross achieved is that all of them are fully playable and each has at least 1-3 unique fully animated abilities and a different manners of speech. In Suikoden a huge chunk aren't playable in combat at all and some are simply there to change the color of the text windows or to listen to the soundtrack. The difference is that a lot of the characters are actually deeply involved in the main plot or the side plot at hand while in Chrono Cross most of the cast seems shoved in.

Two different approach.

I like how CC has so many character but if they cut it down to like 10 or so it wouldn't change the game.

Hell, all you need is Glenn, lol

Suikoden without recruiting a huge army sounds wrong.

No joke the plays are my favorite minigame/side activity from the whole series. Can't believe they wrote so many possible roles for so many characters, most of which any player will never see....

I've been trying to play through the PS2 SMT games (about 5 hours into Digital Devil Saga) but now I wanna put them on hold and go through all 5 Suikodens again, ugh

People need to brace for the fact that the game might not end up looking as pretty as what they show on that video.

Still kinda torn on what tier I wanna pledge.
I'm kinda nervous to give to much money, but at the same time if love to be either a soldier or NPC in the game.

Definitely donating some money just not sure how much.
Happy to see it fully funded already though.

Is there a list of kickstarter games sorted by how much money they made in the first 24 hours of their campaign? I'd like to know how Eiyuden compares to them.

Well, thanks to this thread I guess I have to dust off my old PS2 and replay 3-5. I am skipping the first two only because I have played them many times and the PS2 ones barely at all. I might give 4 another chance. Would probably the first time I have touched that game since it first released.

That Sakuraba sample track is fantastic.

Good vibes all around re: this campaign. The video was adorable.

Man, I'm so so very jealous. I had this spoiled for me before the game even came out here in the US.

I always think about how mind blown I'd be to be fighting him and realize he was using
the true wind rune
and I'll never get that :(

I'm in for a physical copy. It's gonna be a long wait but if Octopath is an inspiration, I'm willing to give it a chance.

Went for the digital edition tier. Only my third Kickstarter I ever backed. Very much looking forward to this game. Can't believe we're getting a spiritual successor to Suikoden.

Keep in mind it's only borrowing from Octopath from a visual design standpoint. The main point of inspiration considering the staff involved is heavily the Suikoden series, notably Suikoden II in particular.

Appreciate the heads up and I am aware that it is primarily inspired by Suikoden. I was impressed by what they teased on the Kickstarter and referencing Octopath was just the icing on the cake for me.

Probably going to pledge, looks really good and super well planned.
Is Suikoden still worth trying out while waiting for this? I'm kinda swamped in Jrpgs right now but if it's worth it'll I'll add it to my play list
