I rarely abandon a game I buy. If I buy it I will finish it eventually.
Not this game. Played for 20 hours, really tried to like it, but it just didn't happen. The script and characters are all over the place, gameplay is very repetitive and the customization options for characters is very limited, and the performance in switch is really really bad. I shelved it.
"Localization issues". Yeah there were a few of those. Glad they're getting fixed. Has anyone found anything specific that's been adjusted?
The idea of a console game having a "Performance Mode" is a bit ridiculous. A console is a fixed-spec machine. You should design the game to run the best it can for the machine you already know the specs for, shouldn't you?
keep the patches coming before i get a chance to play this game to its best performance..
I followed through on the preorder even after reviews were poor. Now it just sits on my shelf in the shrink wrap, and I’m hesitant to even try it with these patches
I get that the Switch isn't bleeding edge, but technically the videos look like a PS1 game given the Octopath treatment. I wanted to give it a go but it's hard to know what discount makes the risk worth it if it's not immediately clear that this is in a playable state yet.
Every time I think I’m finally ready to play this game, they announce a new significant patch a month out and this game gets placed back onto the backlog.

It all comes down to poor optimization. Look at another HD 2D game like Star Ocean 2, it looks better and plays better than Eiyuden Chronicle on Switch.
Almost finished with it on PC and if you were into Suikoden it definitely delivers. If they do a sequel I can see a few things to improve but otherwise it is a solid JPRG with the smaller scale political story.
@DogDetective By fall is the time to get into this game. By the time the last DLC has been released.
Problem is that in fall there are tons of great JRPGs coming out...
I almost bought the game on Switch as I been playing PS5 non stop for half the year due to the insane high quality jrpg/ asia based releases but seems I dodged a bullet. I have the game in my backlog for PS5 but havent started due to waiting for complete dlc.
Monster year for jrpg especially if you on PS5. First half was just incredible and we going into next half with Trails to Daybreak, YS X and Methapor refantazio. Hope these devs think about Switch 2 ports for those missing out/dont have PS5.
