I am one of the backer of the game. I think this game is heading toward good direction to establish the new RPG. we all know that suikoden 1 is more of stepping ground for the masterclass suikoden 2. Let's hope EC 2 will be released with improvement from this issue.

This game has its flaws. I have a feeling that it needs more refinement before launch, but needs to be launched as soon as possible, hence, the lack of tweaking around to deliver the finishing. and I want to address it first.

-Lack of compelling story around MC.
MC needs more backstory to invest. It lacks the tragic aspect similar to its predecessor.
-Sluggish menu
The menu has input delay and navigating around it is a pain.
-Bad stat distribution, skill, and combo damage multiplier.
some characters are straight paper while others is overpowered. Combos are flawed in the way that it is not worth using because of lack of damage multiplier, compared to skills points used.
-Translation
While it is not bugging me much, I admit using political terms and slang in a fantasy world seems weird. Publisher refusal to acknowledge the issue worsens the user perception of the game.
-side games
it's supposed to be fun, but I find it to be a chore.

the issue aside, here are the PRO:
-it indeed gives Suikoden vibe that we miss so bad
-the character, artwork, monster, world. all of them are beautiful.
-the music is 6/10, except few that worth 10/10.
-few new mechanic is nice.
-story while seems pretty generic, still good in my opinion. It's still below suikoden.




Thank you Yoshitaka Murayama.
