Eiyuden Chronicle: Hundred Heroes - JRPG by the original Suikoden developers

[Tor Lugosi]

• A brand new, high quality JRPG from Yoshitaka Murayama (Suikoden I&II) and Junko Kawano (Suikoden I&IV), in their first collaboration in 25 years.
• A traditional 6-character battle system utilizing painstakingly created 2D sprites and gorgeous 3D backgrounds
• A deep story with 100 characters intricately intertwined.
• Coming to PC at minimum goal, with stretch goals to bring the game to additional platforms, including PlayStation 5, and Xbox Series X.

It's a Kickstarter project and they've already doubled their goal after only a few hours.

I want it to be good but a lot of 'old school' inspired JRPGs from the past couple of years have been mediocre and bland. That said, the Suikoden relation still makes me excited for it; 1 - 3 of that series are some of my favorite JRPGs.

Please god don't let them screw this up.

I hope it works out, but Shitty #9 soured me on kickstarter revivals. While Bloodstained turned out well, I thought it was boring.

I backed it though I'm not a fan of the art style. It's like some weird mix of Octopath Traveler and that strange flat mobile game look.

I hope it will be good but kickstarter projects have consistently resulted in trash vanity games because, believe it or not, having someone upstairs giving you hard feedback and deadlines actually does good job in making games that appeal to people beyond the devs.

siliconera bullshitting again!

ALL MY MONEY! TAKE IT!

This, but only after the game is finished and released.

Looking at the stretch goals, at least they are relatively sane with side content and new characters rather than huge add-ons that normally kill kickstarter projects (though why Chinese localiztion is a goal?). I am however dreading the "become an npc in the game" and whether the 100 characters will actually be varied.
