Eiyuden Chronicle: Hundred Heroes Complete Review - A New Suikoden?

[@HappyWarrior]

Hey Everyone, 👋Thank You So Much For Watching! 😄 (pls send us your hot takes & comments) This is our first Game Review on the Channel & so we appreciate you checking it out! I grew up playing the Suikoden games & those experiences are near & dear to my heart. We wanted to do a fair & honest complete review to give gamers going in what to expect & enjoy! Huge thanks to my editor Chris, he was a tireless & patient workhorse & figuring out all the many technical hurdles to do this, truly thanks bro! 🫂

This is part of a review we did with the good people at Bounding Into Comics!, I have some more additional thoughts if you want to go check them out over there: t.ly/9jNZU

Have a Sub for doing a review for someone who has Passion about these games! That part about the Disc being worn out, never knew that was possible lol.

[@HappyWarrior]

Thank you. I really appreciate that. Yeah, so my 2 uncles and I and maybe my kid brother (it's been almost 20 years) all wanted to play suikoden 2. And so the PlayStation was constantly going with separate saves for each of our run throughs & it got to be too much. I think someone didn't take it out & put it back in right, but most of the wear and tear just came from spinning. 2 is still amazing, i love 1 & 4, I've grown to appreciate 5 and Tetrikies but I have a hard time with 3. But I'm told 3 is good now so maybe I'll give it another chance.

@@HappyWarrior 3 has a great manga. If you can't get into the game, read that.

This guy gets it

[@HappyWarrior]

Thanks. Yeah I loved the Suikoden games & kinda was unhappy especially in the 7th gen that complexity of story & mechanics was lost. So seeing finally the suikoden devs back in action is so exciting. And this is just the beginning. :)

Looks like a really cool game. I don’t have the time for RPG’s but this definitely has my interest

[@HappyWarrior]

thanks man, i appreciate you watching it :)

This game really feel like a PS1 game with a modern graphic. The game is good enough but I kinda overhyped it for myself I guess 😅

[@HappyWarrior]

Yeah, i loved it. I find myself making that mistake a lot also. It's easy to get overhyped.

[@bootlegapparel]

It's ok. My biggest issue is the overall writing and story. Suikoden fans are now in their 30s - why is Eiyuden Chronicle written like it's aimed at 8 year olds? There's no stakes, no danger, no consequences, no heavy drama. No risks taken. It's a beautiful game, but I was disappointed.

[@HappyWarrior]

Yeah, the writing needs improvement. I thought of it more like Suikoden 1, where bigger things were happening but only referenced. From my understanding there is a lot of DLC planned with campaigns for both Seign & Marrissa & then some of the other characters so that might help.

[@shinra358]

the character designs are not better lol. and i just realized they are the exact same stories over and over but w different characters

15 min. & ZERO DESCRIPTION OF COMBAT OR PROGRESSION MECHANICS. FAAAAAIIIIILLL.

[@HappyWarrior]

It was my first video review, and I also had to do a written review & produce photos/videos, social media. It was a lot of work that I wasn't quite ready for. I stand by it 95%, I would add some things like mechanics, but my feelings are about the same. I would add that many reviews these days skip over mechanics entirely now. Some reviews don't mention much of the gameplay at all.
