Eiyuden Chronicle Hundred Heroes: Basic tips and advice for Newcomers!

[@kali-qgames1301]

Happy EIYUDEN CHRONICLE LAUNCH DAY! Did you find this video helpful? What other Eiyuden video would you like to see next? Are you enjoying the game so far? Check out my full review here: kzbin.info/www/bejne/p6qyaJd8g9Klqc0

[@TremendousAblutions]

thanks for the video im making a pot of homemade cabbage and 10 lbs of meat soup then imma play it ty so much i appreciate having you on you tube

[@BradPrichard]

Great stuff, Kali. The soundtrack has REALLY impressed me. And the translation is super fun too. I'm on PC here, so no Switch problems. But that's a bummer. Launch day problems can ruin your reputation.

[@Christopher_Navo]

Just discovered your channel and enjoying your coverage of this game that pays homage to one of my favorite JRPG of the ol school days of PS1 and PS2. I'll have to check out your other videos, but you have a sub! -Cheers

[@kali-qgames1301]

This means a ton to me! Thanks for saying this! Eiyuden/Suikoden is a huge passion of mines. I'm going to do my best to provide the best content I can during this time! It's never been better to be a Suikoden fan :) Thank you for your support fam!

[@xenoblade6965]

It's nice to see old school 90s RPG tropes and mechanics being shown in 2024. If you played Suikoden 1 and 2 day one you just accepted all those random battles, inventory limitations and quirks that were the norm back then. I'm loving every second of ECHH.

[@EtherealRune]

Same. The irony is that the devs said they wanted to re-create a successor of Suikoden 2 with all the mechanics that were there back then. And they definitely kept their promise, yet we got too many people complaining about missing "QoL's" (always debateable, sometimes less is more man) because GenZ is suffering from the zoomies and ADHD.

[@digitalrob50]

100% This. I actually loved the mechanics from 90's early 2000's JRPG's. Some of the newer ones are overly complicated and feel like a chore to play.

[@AngryCosmonaut]

If you're running into money issues, equip one of your party members with something that increases item drops. Antiques are a thing in this game and can be worth more than 10 or more battles worth of gold, and also you'll get other items to sell or more powerful runes earlier. If money is still an issue Perielle's butler doubles money from battles as well. Weapon upgrade costs don't scale as hard as they do in suikoden so you'll be able to afford keep multiple groups of people fit for battle. I do wish that there were more accessory slots for each character. S3 introduced "accessories" that were seperated into categories like boots, gloves, amulets, rings etc. but you can only 1 from each category for balance.

I'm sure this is very helpful for people just about to dip their toes into the game! I'll definitely keep these in mind when I get around to it :p

[@leonhart110_]

😂🎉

[@kali-qgames1301]

Yes please do! I hope this video will be helpful to brand new folk to the Suikoden/Eiyuden series

[@followyourpath]

Loving the game so far. I really enjoy its pace and the different personalities of the characters you team up with. I'm only 9-10 hours in but in no rush of moving forward too fast.

[@hairmont.8589]

Do you ever get new abilities? Cause I'm like 8 hours in and the combat is starting to feel stale

[@SteeleKnight27]

How would you rate this compared to the other suikoden games? Where would it fit on your suikoden rankings list?

[@kali-qgames1301]

I'll definitely make a video in that extremely soon, so far I'm really really digging it. The more I spend time with it, the more I'm loving it. So far it's above 4 and 5, but below first 3

[@SteeleKnight27]

@@kali-qgames1301 oh, interesting! I’m only 12 hours in so I can’t be certain, but my personal list would be: 3, 5, 2, eiyuden, 4, 1. I think 2 and eiyuden sit pretty close for me right now. I have a lot of love for 4 and played 2 very late in my gaming life, so the nostalgia is all over the place.

[@Quinz128]

Just to note about the "On The Go". Though it's not official on the Steam Deck, if you own one, I tried it and it seems to work well and I have only played on the deck for about an hour or two, but it reads the button-pushes and have not seen any issues with the sound nor video. So I'd say it seems to work on the Steam Deck for those who have it on steam.

[@meishaleonard8621]

I'm about 5 and a half hours into it now and having a lot of fun. I'm 42 so I'm used to some of the stuff people are complaining about and don't really have an issue with those things. I'm thinking of this as an extension to the suikoden series, too and going off that I'd probably rank this game right behind 2 so far and ahead of 5, 1, 3, and 4. It's a really enjoyable game so far

[@kali-qgames1301]

See, I'm really really happy to hear that. I think it's the mainstream that doesn't really understand the appeal of Suikoden. So this may be a little too old school and overwhelming haha. But I'm loving Eiyuden so far

[@RiseAgainst369]

It’s better than Suikoden 2 because the overall cast of heroes feel they have more agency and contribute more to the war than sit in the castle and do fa. The base building game in Eiyuden is better than all the 5 suikoden combined and I played them all except 4. This game just needs better war combat system and a stronger villain. Dux Aldric had such poor man management skills that beggars belief. All the final field combats had him losing troops to an extent it trivialised his army as a threat

[@YouTubdotCub]

Definitely would love a part 2!

[@kali-qgames1301]

You got it! More intermediate tips perhaps? Or more basics?

[@YouTubdotCub]

@@kali-qgames1301 intermediate tips would be great!

[@AFellowDoktuh]

Currently installing the game, I'm definitely beyond excited to play. Like many here I've waited for this moment for so long. Definitely going to find the dash boots. Thankfully the inventory space isn't much of an issue for me since I've been playing Suikoden 1 recently.

[@klissattack]

The switch isn't that bad. Granted I've played Suikoden 4 a few times and I played thru Spectral force on PSP (Every move had a 5-7 second delay) so maybe I just have a higher tolerance

[@moskitosane8026]

Playing on the switch too and theres nothing really wrong in my eyes 🤷

[@djawbreakermoi5810]

Oh man thanks for saying that cus i just bought it on the switch instead of the ps5, thought it was going to be a better option... phew

[@arkavalon5347]

I feel like cycling between the different options in the menu is a bit laggy and stuttering. Same for some cases when closing the menu and between screens or delayed pause between scenes or options. It's my only complaint so far.

[@markmaison4436]

I like that the game doesn’t have too many quality of life improvements, minus the run speed. That was part of the charm and challenge of old games was having to make tough decisions

[@lorddrifter7296]

[@Dadge42]

Do dash boots have a bug that speeds up cutscenes? Sometimes the characters rush so fast it's hard to tell what's even going on. Also how do you get more HQ funds?

[@kali-qgames1301]

Unfortunately, I think that was a design choices to symbolize the characters running or making haste

[@Xenaximus]

​@kali-qgames1301 Reminds me of Suikoden 1 and 2 when they would have characters "run" in scenes, since I think they only ever made running animations for a few of the main characters.

[@Dadge42]

@@kali-qgames1301 Yeah I thought so too but at times it seems inappropriate for them to be rushing around so much. It's pretty jarring at times. Thanks for the answer, guess I'll just have to get used to it.

[@Xboxcampking334]

I can't wait to see everyone tier list

[@Zeioth]

Some chars are definitely easier to use than others, but every character is potentially powerful when combined with the right characters.

[@terminate_all]

Yusuke definitely top 5 that's all I gotta say.

[@kali-qgames1301]

I can't wait to make mines, although mines will probably be who I like the most. Not really ranked by skill. I keep hearing yusuke is crazy

[@stephenwakeman3074]

Wow. I didn't get the attendant system. That's literally a game changer! Thanks 🎉

[@williampotts3727]

Thanks man i was gonna put this on my kid's switch but after seeing this i got it for the Xbox.

[@lukaszzylik4437]

9 hours in and im loving it. The only thing that confused me for the first couple hours was the way SP works. As far as i know it's randomized at the start of every battle and i think the SP under character stats is their starting SP per battle without the randomization added. I might be in the minority but inventory management has always felt like an impirtant decision in RPGs for me. Having to decide what to keep/take with you in and out of dungeons has always been a part of the appeal for me.

[@castordemonyo13]

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..

[@RiseAgainst369]

Check the item shops regardless of whether you want to buy items because they sell recipes and or scripts that are hard to obtain from the shop again. I missed 5 recipes because I never bothered to check the item shops on my first visit to the towns

[@Vayne-b4u]

Kali i have question..when character attack twice and do dmg,the number that appear is twice too..is additional or the last number is final damage?

[@kali-qgames1301]

I'm pretty sure it's all additional damage. The hits are separate

[@xTatsumix]

The last hit is the final number

[@oreodeplata922]

As someone who’s not interested in playing Rising, would you say its essential to know the story of it before this. If so, would you be willing to make a story recap for it? Cheers for all the content you dish out bud

[@roseshields2642]

[@kali-qgames1301]

Thank you very much ♥️

[@brianbalcer]

I like the attendant idea, only problem I have with it is characters there do not get exp.

[@kali-qgames1301]

Yeah the attendant is one of my favorites. It's just great all around

[@Vayne-b4u]

Always check ur inventory and store item in warehouse, upgrade ur equipment periodically

[@lordrizzimo]

Eiyuden Chronicles is so far the best jrpg. It brings back not just the spirit of Suikoden but the classic jrpg spirit itself

[@kali-qgames1301]

It's so cozy, I absolutely love it! Hoping to see Eiyuden Chronicle 2 someday

[@anthonyg1307]

As a suikoden 1-5 tierkris and tactis this game is super dope, the only issue I've seen so far is how unbalanced front/back units are. I've fought bosses where people in my front line are taking 1-2 damage. While the back characters take 50-60 damage from the same attacks. In contract my units have 120-160 hp. The dash boots complaint is funny considering you needed Stallion in suikoden 1 to run faster.

[@shayne604]

I'm loving the game, I guess ya can't make everyone happy. Love the graphics and the gameplay it's so good

[@kali-qgames1301]

PSA: if you’re playing it on the steam deck, turn off shadows and enjoy the frames

Thanks for the tip, was getting perfect performance when not docked but the shadows really lagged when hooked up to the tv.

[@IanHollis]

I agree. +Dash Boots should be his normal speed.

[@Tazacks]

Bro i did NOT know about the attendance option (i don't think it really explains it either). Thanks so much. I just picked this up for my ps5. Haven't played a classic like this since...Suikoden 2 I think. Loving the 90s vibes - modern RPGs just don't do it for me.

I just started playing it. It's okay. I won't say it's better than any Suikoden game though.

[@kali-qgames1301]

It definitely starts to pick up and get better. I can't quite say yet if it's any better than Suikoden games yet though. It's much better than 4 though that's for darn sure. It's creeping up on 5 for me too.

[@jamman7344]

It also has performance issues on the PlayStation 4 as well.

[@kali-qgames1301]

That's really unfortunate

[@finessedgaming1190]

Why did you leave the xbox out if people dont know if you want to play this game on xbox you can and im also playing this on the switch and its alright now the loading between battles is a little annoying but still it had an update and it runs pretty good imo.

I hope this is an early game thing But so far the Hero combo and skills feels kinda useless especially the combo that only target 1 enemy Because the damage done by sacrificing 2 chara turn and 2 sp each (for hard mode) definitely less than both character normal attack And for rune-lens, despite for spending 4-5sp (hard mode) it only do 10 - 20 more damage from your normal attack
