So sad the lead developer didn’t get a chance to see it go to full release before the passed
RIP bro, you gave the world a good thing
4 good things : Suikoden1+2+3+ECHH 😁
@@armorvil I guess I just meant all the stuff he worked on, not specific titles, but sure 👍
The sentiment is there
hmmmm? he died? who made this one?
@@armorvil echh? ects? lol and this one look good imo.
@@Jabberwokee hmmm?
as a steamdeck user, i appreciate that you always include steamdeck playability on your review👍👍👍
yes please!
I enjoyed remapping the controls in the steam deck so that I can play one handed since it gets really cold here and I’d like to bundle up as much as possible
ngl i see people have high chance trying similar genres, turn-base, or metroidvanias in a handheld device. for me, maybe me growing on PSP left a great remark in my experience
@@oreodeplata922 🤣
I did the game 100% on the deck and it was very enjoyable!
This review is the exact reason why I am subbed to your channel. You discussed a variety of things that haven’t really been covered by other reviewers. Great job on the review!
You're an absolute machine, i haven't even started the game yet haha
This dude makes me feel like a failure lol. Like I’m not doing enough & should be a better person.. by 100% more games in a shorter amount of time.
@@OdorGod dude what the fuck are you talking about? This guy plays games for living
@@rude_wredne…ok? I’m saying I wish I could beat more games like him & that’s your response?
@@OdorGod hilarious joke
I love jrpgs. They’re not my all time favorite genre of game but I play a fair amount, especially turn based ones. All that to say,it is so refreshing to hear a non-jrpg CZcams channel speak on one of these games without extreme bias. I appreciate you making this video!
My love for the suikoden series started with the first one in -97 and this one does not dissapoint! 35h’s in and i am having a 💥! The humor is lovely and i always take the japanese voiceacting in games and it is awesome the voices truly enhance the characters🙂 Good show sir as always
Very true. Loving it as well.
Yup. As a proud member of the "Called for Suikoden 6 for a decade and a half" club, I've been a little disappointed, and frankly surprised, at how the response has been to this game. It pales in comparison to the praise things like Chained Echoes and Sea of Stars got, despite doing many of the same things but much better. I'm sickened over Murayama's death but am happy he was able to give us one more gem and am pumped the series is continuing! Let's go for at least 5 entries
@@JasonHebert
That is what is so insane to me.
While I loved Chained Echoes and Sea of Stars, those games did nothing new or special at all and if we’re honest they used all the tropes there are in jrpgs. But that’s fine. These tropes exist for a reason.
The scope of Eiyuden, not to mention the insane japanese voice work with so many characters and basically every line voiced, is huge.
It’s bonkers if people, reviewers especially, praise those other two indie games so high but are leaving this gem of a game lying on the road.
Then again, basically no one knows of Terra Memoria as no one covered it and it is a game that kinda reminds me of Grandia. Stumbled upon it only because of I dream of indie.
Sometimes marketing really does matter and sometimes people are just not treating content fairly.
Chained echoes absolutely did new things. Combat was amazing and outs real time rpgs combat to shame
@@Lock2002ful I've heard of Terra Memorial but never played it. My understanding was that it was more like a Minecraft or something, about building. I may have to check it out as I'm always actively looking for new JRPGs. I do think Chained Echoes did a couple things that were either new or at least pretty rare like the way characters were built instead of the traditional leveling and the reward board. But yeah it still was pretty much right in line with a traditional JRPG. Sea of Stars did nothing new, was just a total throwback and did absolutely nothing new. Don't get me wrong I vastly enjoyed both and they did a LOT right, most right even, but you can't praise them and criticize Eiyuden. I honestly think it's the random encounters that swayed people's opinions
True gamer review laser focused zero drama, thank you Mortismal
This is the most even-handed review of Eiyuden Chronicles: Hundred Heroes. Anyone considering purchasing the game should watch this.
This games art style got me to actually record a short vid about it. Your thorough dives are always great man
So soon after your first impressions video! I’m constantly impressed by your efficiency with these games, well done! Hope you enjoyed some of your time with this one :)
you are a machine man, congrats on the channel!
Excelent review as always. I'm currently playing it and really loving the game.
One thing that I think they nailed is the VA across the board. Considering the sheer number of characters, they did a great job conveying each character personality through the voice acting.
I played it on JP cuz in first few hours playing it on EN the translations are really off and completely changed the tone and interactions of the characters. There is a part that they should be throwing jokes but in EN they sounded like they hated each other. And this is not just one scene, but throught out the entire playthrough. I haven't finished it yet cuz I played it again in JP.
I dunnu why people pretend that changing the context is fine to a story driven game. What if we they did the same thing with Western Games?
I'm currently making list of mistranslations even though this is not my job but it hurts so much that whoever translated this might be hated their job so they butchered it or probably they hated JRPG so much.
I suppose you mean the jp VA, because the localization is freaking garbage.
Yeah the EN VA was very serviceable and quite enjoyable in a lot of parts
I know a lot of ppl ar criticizing the localization (some valid are valid and some are not) but that aside I was really impressed by the VA as well. There's also a TON of it in the game from so many characters.
Switch to japanese voices and gg
thank you for the detailed review, now I'm really looking forward to playing this after I finish up Dragon's Dogma 2!
Thanks for the review as always! I really like the fact that the normal battles are fast and you can just put it on auto while the boss battles are fun and challenging enough (at least on hard). Don't get me wrong, I love a complicated combat system with many layers just like anybody else. But most of the time they tend to overstay their welcome, especially in normal battles as you will be doing tons of them. Being able to do mindless grinding preparing for a boss while doing something else like catching up with your favorite shows or a podcast is something I really miss and this game provides just that. A very cozy and comforting game.
While the game has certains problems, I think it has lots of potential to explore with its sequel (especially now that the devs have confirmed they are working on it).
You always break everything down so well. Thank you for your constant hard work. I hope unicorn overlord comes to pc as I'd love to see your take on it. I personally thought it handled a large cast well vs how things seem to be framed here.
This is exactly why I subscribed. Finding hidden treasures that are kind of my jam and I have never heared of before.
Really appreciate the PC key rebinding info, it makes a huge difference to the left handed, handicapped, and weirdos like me.
Always top tier content on this channel, thanks 👌🏾
Thank you very much for covering this game on your channel! In-depth and on point as usual. It is very special to me since I'm a big Suikoden fan. It may not be perfect, but it's the Suikoden that was promised. It's also a tribute to classic old school JRPGs and Murayama Yoshitaka. I hope that Rabbit and Bear can carry on, because we need this kind of games
The best moment is when random character talk to Nowa on the night before the last campaign. I save and load to get every dialogue. Also I really in love with the game's pixel art.
Btw the video is the real gamer review.
Best review on the site thanks 🙏
10x for the free content frequent and professional . Another like from me
Steamdeck notes are greatly appreciated. Thanks for the review!
Great review!! Its amazing how quick you 100% this even with a early copy.
I am already playing the game for a while (lv2 town) but i can see some of the points that was mentioned in this video. namely resources in the beginning are scarce but as you progress it gets better. the trading system is a good way to get money but theres also the items that you can appraise which often being dropped by enemies.
i love that this game hits my nostalgia for Suikoden and other JRPGs of old but makes it very playable with the art style and systems. Theres definitely lots of Quality of Life improvement that can be done but It wasnt really bothering me as much. ( i got the good old notepad beside me again... oh those were the days) i just wish for a "faster animation" setting, Garr's and Nowa's skill takes forever with trash battles.
overall, i am loving the game
Fair and balanced review! I will add that I think connection to the characters comes with investing your time into them just like it does with making friends in real life. If you bring a character with you (even if they're a support/backup) they'll interject personalized comments at points in story/conversation/exploration where it would make sense for that character. This is a little harder to do for characters you recruit near the end of the game, though. You can also reveal everyone's backstory a bit more at the divination booth if you want to know more about them. I think they did about as well as they could for such a large cast, but I do agree a bit more from some of the characters would have been nice. Perhaps we'll get more from some of the neglected ones in the DLCs once they come out.
As someone who put nearly 60h in this game already I would say completely the same things about this game. Great Review, thats by far the most honest and precise review I've seen so far. ❤
I'm so looking forward to playing this... in two months when I get back from my trip abroad starting tomorrow. But it's been good to not have to think about it because the news of Murayama's passing hurt like no other "celeb" before him. One of the all-time greats, and my personal favourite creator of all time.
Very thorough review.
That was a good explanation how the support slots works. I have played until now almost 50 hours and i didnt know that you can put the story characters in this slots.
I did but so far I see no reason to have anyone in that slot other thsn the elf girl that runs the in. She lets you change your party at any save point which is far more valuable than anything I've gotten so far.
@@ThatGuy-en2nnjanquis (the butler) have double money gain effect... I found that more valuable, because as far as suikoden goes, smithing and micromanaging equipment can be hella expensive, and the random encounter seems scarce in eiyuden...
leveling other party members is passable when you have teleportation, even with 2 battles in your current mission area can bring any party member close to the highest lvl on your squad
great review!
Based on what I am seeing here, I am going to enjoy this even though it is wildly different than Rising. I also saw the three from Rising in the character list so I am looking forward to seeing what they are up to.
Awesome, thank you
Great review
Hey i just wanted to point out to everyone here. I know you normally play games on PC, and this game on PC is in a good spot but its pretty bad on the Switch for those looking to purchase it there
Random Crashes
4-7 second loading screens in between random encounters (after a while it gets insanely annoying)
Lots of stuttering and inconsistent FPS
I cant speak on Xbox and PS experience. For those looking to buy the game i'd avoid the Switch version until they drop a patch to fix it
Thanks for the warning, was considering picking it up on switch
Been playing this exclusively on my Steam Deck and loving it so far. Probably the only thing that's really bugging me too much is not being able to save on the world map but so far save points seem pretty common.
Thanks for the review, appreciate it. I loved Suikoden 1-3 and have been waiting for this one. A little bit worried tho because Im obsessed with Unicorn Overlord atm and not sure if Eiyuden will stack up well against UO. That being said I’m still gonna grab it lol
didn't expect jrpg o.O nice!
very very good sumup and review
So glad it's finally out, I've been waiting on a new Suikoden for so many years (thanks Konami :( ), this is absolutely the next best thing. I think my favorite war battle system came from Suiko 2 and 3. Three just felt like you were really in it and if i remember correctly the game rewarded you for beating some of the harder scenarios that otherwise you lose due to story.
I really don't think they were trying to bring the classic jrpg formula forward at all. This game was kickstarter funded by Suikoden fans. The studio dug up the previously long retired creator of Suikoden 1-3 to make it (he recently passed RIP). It was always going to be a classic game aping off suikoden 1 and 2.
Suikoden 2 is a masterpiece btw anyone who likes these types of games should play it. It is allegedly being remastered though so maybe just wait for that instead of playing an emulator
Very true.
If you liked Suikoden 1&2 you’ll like this game as well.
The remaster of Suikoden 1&2 is 100% true, they are probably simply waiting a bit after the release of this game out of respect and not to steal R&B’s thunder.
Some of the R&B stuff also work on the Suikoden remaster, so.
@@inforelatedtv
I mean, it’s Konami. They’ll milk anything they can.
So it’s just a matter of time.
I don’t understand the save often advice tbh though.
Suikoden was the first thing I thought of when seeing this game! It's definitely going on the wish list!
Emulator? Sir, I will gladly dust off my PS1, Tube TV and original copies of both Suikoden 1 and 2 to play them as they were intended.
Really appreciate you getting into JRPGs. A series I bet Mortismal would like is Valkyria Chronicles, it's WWII themed, no fighting god lol. The 4th game even stars college graduate protagonists.
Thanks for this one! I'm having a great time about 10 hours in. Definitely good to go in with the right expectations. They really really want you to know this is a lot of members of the Suikoden team making a game that is very much like Suikoden.
I totally agree with your point about them trying and failing to modernize. Even just UI stuff is often harder than it needs to be. Doesn't have a huge impact on the game, but things like rendering times in the menu preventing you from scrolling through the tabs as quickly as you want are definitely present.
But then I go out in the world and enjoy the plot and pick up a bunch of weird junk to take back to town, and I'm happy.
Oh, just one other small thing. I think your point about the modern language in the localization is valid, but at the same time, the Japanese version has all kinds of very modern foreign loan words as well.
I tend to think that's just kinda how they want it. Doesn't necessarily make it a good decision, but I think I would blame the original script just as much as the localization.
solid review
Not sure if you noticed since I don't recall you mentioning it, but in regards to the battle system - While you do select all of your actions at once before a turn starts, you can see the order in which all of the actions will occur, including the enemies, at the top of the screen. So if you need to heal someone you can use a character that will act before enemy will if you want to guarantee it goes off. In fact I would say a lot of the combat if you playing on full hard difficulty involves using the right attack order to take out enemies before they can attack.
I followed a guide to get to at least 100 heroes. A few of the recruiting requirements were so obtuse or annoying I didn't bother. It is helpful to know in advance what heroes will be required for certain missions so you can beef them up in advance. I am a big fan of Suikoden, so this game is right up my alley.
As a fan of Suikoden, I am extremely excited to try this game out. Probably going to pick it up over summer break!
Wtf is suikoden
@@Astreon123 It was an old RPG series. I played it on the Playstation One, but it may have appeared on other systems as well.
It was honestly one of the best PS1 rpgs I had the chance to play! Highly recommend!
Fair review, say for saying trying to modernize. It was always goal to be more classic than anything.
That was my feeling as well. Seems like Konami has almost no interest in making another Suikoden, so this feels more like an attempt to continue the feel of that series, good or bad, and seems to succeed in that regard.
appreciated
Mortissssmallllll yaaaaaa!!!!
I loved Suikoden so I guess I'll have to pick this up.
Daaaang. You are good. I started playing a week before the embargo ended and im still not at 100% keep up the good work
I like how the game balances the story needed characters in your party and the player picking their character for combat.
It is a game with 100+ characters so many will become "character of hat". I hope for some more games set after this with the characters like those shop character.
I love the choose first then the action happen. it make the combat more fun and add something you can work with or not care about.
Welcome to the Suikoden formula. Come for the story, stay for the character development of almost every character in the game and lore.
The series could have been something if Konami allowed it to florish with the tons of lore it had. Mysteries from past civilizations and recurring (yes, recurring) characters. If Eiyuden continues it will likely follow this formula and hopefully add more to it.
It is a shame the creator of this game and the Suikoden franchise passed away before its release.
Skill issue
@@MagnesVestergaard ??
@@MagnesVestergaardBad joke
@@bkcollectorshop9631 It made me laugh
@@MagnesVestergaard Laughing at the “Joke” you tried 😂
As someone who loved the Suikoden games. This game is awesome and throwback to classic rpgs.
after 40 hours of eggfoot breeding and races I might actually have to start playing this game. sounds like it might be fun as well :D
I like the "Attendants" so you can bring plot important characters with you. Without ruining your preferred squad. I always run the same 6 characters. Only switching them out if a stronger new companion shows up. I'm surprised how deep the characters backstories are despite not using most of them.
Impressive that you 100% this already.
Great review. I think that most of the negs/downsides/nitpicks were mechanics or features from the older Suikoden games, which is fine with me 😊
Thanks of for the 100%. I might've missed it, but the combat had an "auto" option. Was than an auto-battle option? If so, did it work. Onward to 400k. All glory to the algorithm.
Yeah, its just pretty basic, you select a party strategy and then a few actions each character will priortize, usually each characters default is good and you can interrupt to give a specific command when necessary
Autobattle works pretty well for non-boss fights especially if you take the time to go in and customize the logic it uses for each character in the "Battle Plan" menu. I do recommend setting it to fight without using MP as a partywide strategy though, or you'll find yourself without MP for bosses. Just stock up on healing items for them to use to heal you instead of using healing magic, for regular fights on auto.
Just mind blowing how your able to finish these games
@Mortismal Gaming Thanks for a great review!
What's your opinion on this game in comparison to Suikoden?
When you said it's "hard to connect" to characters, it really made me wonder if that was a general opinion or in comparison some type of game?
Just downloaded it on Gamepass and looking forward to play :D
I’m not really into JRPGs, but the art style is definitely interesting here.
Regarding price, I remember original NES games being $60 at Toys R Us in the 80s (yeah, I’m old). The fact that games have basically stayed the same price for 35+ years is pretty impressive really.
Lot of it has to do with the games having had actual hardware. I remember spending like 80 maybe 90 on chrono trigger when it came out.
Not game breaking but a huge visual glitch I have (PS4 version) is anytime I'm in the uchriss map if my camera is looking/showing the ocean view there is a visual glitch that basically takes up the entire screen and only goes away if I move the camera to look away from the water front.
Good review. The game looks fun, even if not without some issues. You make the comparison to classic Final Fantasy games but also acknowledge that the game is more specifically modelled after Suikoden. Much of what you note about the game is stuff that you already know if you have played some of the old Suikoden titles. Did you play any Suikoden titles? The game seems geared to recreate the classic Suikoden experience and whether the game works ultimately or not will likely be whether it succeeds in appealing to Suikoden series fans or brings new fans into the series.
I wanted to get this on switch but I’ve learned my lesson to wait. I’ve heard they’ve been patching some of the issues but I’m gonna hold off for a bit. Maybe a few months since I’ve got a backlog rn! But once through that I wanna play it.
Wish the switch performance wasn't terrible.
💗
Some of the town/base-building reminds me a bit of Chained Echoes. But overall this looks like something I'll definitely play eventually. Last weekend I just finished the main story for Eiyuden Chronicle: Rising (just left with post-main-story missions), which is such a fun and entertaining game. Also, sadly I never finished Suikoden 2 :'(
120 heroes ...... my brain started to lag but i wonder how much story is to them
buildable player settlement is one of the most underestimated ideas that deserve much love
Thanks for making this video MG! I have a question: When are you going to do Star Ocean: The Second Story R? It’s one of the best remakes in gaming history and arguably the best in the entire series!
Suikoden was always a hit or miss for me but this looks pretty good. I love all the different cultures and how the town grows and all the mini games. Thank you sir.
I find this review more informative than the ones on JRPG-focused channels done by self-proclaimed "hardcore fans of Suikoden". Some channels are also trying to gain something from the localisation drama, fortunately not here.
Bro, how doesn't the mouse coursor in the middle of your game screen bug you?
It's supposed to be a throwback to back in day of the older JRPGS. This isn't a negative.
To go along with your issues with combat:
1) Nearly all Hero Combos are worse than just attacking individually with each character
2) Magic is pretty much always weaker than physical (even just basic attacks) until very late game, and MP is so limited, items become more useful
3) I didn't even realize enemies had weaknesses until hours into the game, as there's no clear indicator when you hit a weakness or if they have a weakness at all. It's not like SMT or something where you see character/enemy affinities & "Crit" or "Weak" notifications pop up
4) You choose character attacks out of order from when you actually move in battle. You get to use to it, but it feels very different from other JRPGs where you select actions based on speed/turn order
But I also agree with everything you mentioned about combat, like not being able to react in combat
*game launches*
Mortismal a few moments later: So after completing this game 100%,
I have very similar feelings to what you say here after completing the game as well. While it nails the *vibes* that made me love Suikoden as a young man, in some cases it was *too* faithful to the way Suikoden 1 & 2 was *mechanically*. While Suikoden 3 & 5 remain my favorites, I hope they refine the formula and keep pumping out more of the Suikoden style games I've always loved. As a last note, it was somewhat strange for me to learn "well, just how would Naruke and M. Sakuraba do a Suikoden soundtrack?" Overall I felt that the soundtrack was hit and miss sometimes, but that may be nostalgia talking.
🎉🎉
Hi can we play this game on imac m3 base model using whisky? feeling nostalgic
i'll probably eventually look to pick this one up and play it, simply because of the aestetic. i absolutely love the look. pulled off in spades in a remake of my favourite jprg of all time, Star Ocean The Second Story R. that game is incredible and i doubt anything will top it for me, but this game looks fun
Wild that devs today still code game mechanics (in this case enemy encounter rate) to be affected by FPS. I can understand it happening in Skyrim (2011), but in 2024? Sheesh.
that's how you know the devs are genuinely old skool folks.
tears of the kingdom has game speed tied to FPS
What's worse is apparently (at least for the beta version, but I doubt they changed something like this for release) the game setting for FPS wasn't actually 30/60 it was 50% or 100% of your refresh rate
@mortismalgaming is this game has similarities with suikoden 2? because i am looking for a new game like suikoden 2
Still thinkin if im gonna get the game or wait for patches coz im gonna play it in switch. Btw is there a clive like recruit scenario on which i have to meet the character in a certain area in the less amount of time? Tnx tnx awesome vid btw
There are no time-locked scenarios in the sense of having to rush before X number of hours have passed, but there is one story checkpoint you have to have all 119 other characters before in order to get the 120th/final character. I don't have confirmation on this but I have seen some guidemakers say they think there *might* be one or two other missable characters, but I personally did not have an issue getting them all. The only one I likely would have missed without guides was the final one, since I probably wouldn't have grinded out the beigoma minigame to get the two associated characters before that point. (Beigoma gets much easier with beigoma dropped from monsters in late game, so I was waiting until later to play it much.)
@@foozlesprite tnx much for the info. Much appreciated
I love suikoden 2 but the clive recruitment scenario was so stressful. There shouldnt be any time limit to recruit certain characters.
@@King-2077 heheh it was stressful but having the time limit kinda makes me wanna know how manage time hahaha the first time i played i totally didnt know bout the time factor it was only via reading a walkthrough did i learn bout it 😅
There is game breaking bug that wont let me continue the story. Late in game after i talk to seign on top of the castle . Then u have to talk to euma. It says on current goal you cant get to sleep. Try taking a walk. But in game its day light and nothing progresses the story. At all. I have no backup saves.
Waiting for the language patch
For what language?
Do beigoma carry over on new game plus?
In a certain sense, the fact that we don't end up fighting and killing God in this JRPG could be considered a spoiler, so thanks for that Morty.
👍
Does the switch version still have all the performance issues?
Does the video mention anything regarding the game's auto battle? (I think it's called 'battle plan')? I'm trying to find more info but no-one seems to talk about it.
Its a pretty basic system so there just isnt much to tell really, you can select a few options that define what your party will try to do generally and then what each individual character will do. More often than not the default setting for each character is fine.
@@MortismalGaming I'm a great fan of systems like in Dragon Age Origins and FF Zodiac where one can setup each character and then watch what happens in battle so I was wondering if this game had a similar system. It seems it's quite simplistic after all.
Thanks for replying. Great review btw.
Hi, nice review! The management of multiple parties of characters and town on top of that is offsetting. More like heroes of might and magic rather than jrpg.
I never played the Suikuden series but I looked up combat and tried to compare it to this and it seems this game follows the same combat as the Suikuden series what makes Suikudens combat so different than this game because it looks like the enemy picks there move and target when they attack just like this game
Morning mortim
guys should i go blindly? where can i find a 100% walkthrough? does this have legendary gear that i need to craft or find thru lowdroprates? does it also have like a summon i need to tame or jrpg stuff like that i might miss or treasure chest if i dont check corners? a reply would be much appreciated..
I started the game on gamepass. I'm glad I didn't buy it. It's not a bad game, but there is a moment when you have to stop being an hommage and you try to get some personality. And it seems from that review that the game will have little of it. I'm still going to have some fun. For a moment!
Anyway, great review, as always.
"Schtolteheim Reinbach" 😂😂😂 missed him a lot here
The town building and recruiting sounds like ni no kuni 2
Nice. I poo-poo’d jrpgs for years. I played Legend of Heroes Trails form Sky and it changed my mind. I don’t love that whole series… but that game got me to try other jrpgs. I seem to favor the look and gameplay of older jrpgs. Playing Dragon Quest 1 now on switch… it’s awesome. A couple things you described about combat might have me hold on this one… hmmm. Do like the visuals. Thanks
The good thing about the dragon quest series is they keep it relatively old school even with the modern games. Dragon quest 11 s can even be played either 3d or old school 2d lol.
@@nicholaswhelchel6690 I do like dq 11… one thing I like with old games is less hand holding… have to work for it a bit more, lol
Is there a way to see how many people you've recruited.? Suikoden had that tablet. I'm pretty far into the game, but as far as I know I can't see how many I've recruited or who I've recruited. I think I have everyone for the point in the game I'm at, but I'm not sure.
Yeah theres a town upgrade you'll get that shows you
@@MortismalGaming Which upgrade and where do I find the tablet?
It's not a tablet, but there is an NPC with an ability to search them out for you once you build a town add-on for them. Not gonna spoil the specific NPC for you but their ability set makes sense for their role, so once you meet them and see the upgrade in the town panel, you should be able to figure it out.
One of my gripes is hero combos being abysmal to the exception of a few i found. I dunno why normal attacking is nearly better in 100% of the cases.
Hope they fix this in the sequel coz no point using combos if they suck.
2 slot characters need to be buffed too. No point losing 2 chars to one.
Think an extra support slot would be nice too. Most of the time you'll use Cassandra and never use the others. Also the support skills should say they are chance based to trigger. It's not 100%.
I did not notice this game already released. For anyone who played this game and star ocean 2 R which one is bettet? I am going to buy one of those.
Star ocean for sure
