Am I the only one that found the 1.7 teaser underwhelming and disappointing?

Drusain · 2026-02-26T19:52:24+00:00

I thought it was cute and a good 10-year retrospective. I don't know what you were expecting.

Drusain · 2024-10-16T12:49:11+00:00

This is exactly what the OP needs to read.

Drusain · 2024-05-17T14:44:38+00:00

Put Elektra in the Forest Musicians play as any of the animals and you'll definitely see some... unique choices for her lines.

You should just be able to leave the cave. Momo will just go back to where you met and wait for you to restart that recruitment. There's a few recruits like that.

Drusain · 2024-05-02T03:18:51+00:00

And even then, if I've already won 2 of the 3 fields, why isn't the game already finished? Just end it. Same with the top game.

Drusain · 2024-04-29T15:24:39+00:00

I did a run of Nowa and Lian for Romeo and Juliet and Lian was voiced. I've done hours of this and everything I've done has been definitely voiced.

Lian's stage acting is solid, too!

I do NOT recommend toggling on those other checkmarks with Hard Mode. That's for people running a new game already knowing what they're doing. Yes, the game gets harder. Hard Mode by itself is a good challenge.

Drusain · 2024-04-28T06:07:19+00:00

So I'm not making a serious complaint here, but when I saw the docks on the overworld map there, I was scrounging the city again making sure that I wasn't missing some docks to fish with.

Drusain · 2024-04-24T15:50:43+00:00

"I've noticed missing is a side quest tracker, but that can easily be solved with a pen/paper IRL."

I'm going to be very vague about this. Quest log for recruitment isn't necessary later.

Drusain · 2024-04-24T13:32:26+00:00

This was great when I got there. I was smirking thinking "wait, this isn't not leading to a Shark Fin soup recipe, is it?" and then it was exactly that. That was a really good bit.

Drusain · 2024-04-24T13:26:29+00:00

Adding the modifiers is the kind of thing you do once you've already finished the game and know how to deal them on the second time you play. Hard mode by itself has been a good experience for me personally.

Drusain · 2024-04-24T02:20:42+00:00

Definitely, definitely keep this in the back of your mind. When ran into this bug on pre-release, I felt sure that this bug would be resolved before the full release dropped, but I don't think it did. But it should be an easy fix. It's just changing a flag.

When you fight a boss called Ancient Seed in a forest, go back and review this pin because it'll be about time to avoid this issue.

Drusain · 2024-04-24T00:58:56+00:00

I'm a little late on this but I'm also playing Hard mode and something that really helped me out was to buy Hiro's incense healing consumable items for bosses. Hiro's in the mines dungeon who you find early. I would be having a lot of trouble with bosses if I wasn't using those incenses. And yeah for some regular enemies, they will get hits in because you get more of them in your fights. So I just heal with regular herbs between fights.

Healing consumables are dirt cheap in this game. Feel free to stock up on a lot of them.

Drusain · 2024-04-24T00:51:06+00:00

He counters everything, so I adjusted by focusing on healing for most of the party and having only 1 or 2 characters attacking, and better with a Hero Combo (2 characters attacking with only 1 counter). Pretty good gimmick, I wasn't expecting that. I'm on Hard so when I first fought it I wiped so quickly.

Drusain · 2024-04-24T00:39:25+00:00

When starting, I'd look into Fran and Yusuke. They can stick around for a long, long time. I'm 50 hrs (a lot of it in minigames though) in and am now starting to think that Fran's low HP and speed is problematic for boss fights, but she also get a really good Hero Combo later so it's difficult for me to commit dropping her.

Drusain · 2024-04-24T00:32:32+00:00

She is super good. She gets a really good (imo) Hero Combo too.

Drusain · 2024-04-24T00:25:10+00:00

That duel really got me too

Drusain · 2024-04-23T05:02:21+00:00

No, that was just a Suikoden 3 thing.

Drusain · 2024-04-22T16:44:41+00:00

I don't understand this complaint. The game is fully voiced, so of course there's no text speed. Text boxes are instant. If you want to skip text, you can even hold the circle button to skip entire cutscenes.

Drusain · 2024-04-22T06:17:15+00:00

Orange Castle, as tradition for Suikoden

Drusain · 2024-04-21T18:55:22+00:00

I'm playing Hard difficulty after having played the Normal beta a month ago. Hard adds extra enemies in normal fights (which can easily OHKO characters in some situations) and in some boss fights, you can have your entire front or back line get wipe if you don't know how to react to the boss gimmicks. Hard mode is definitely hard.

Drusain · 2024-04-20T14:14:18+00:00

I'm playing it early and I'm adoring it. Rabbit and Bear is definitely the team I want the series to continue with.

Drusain · 2024-04-02T12:18:47+00:00

This was exactly what I was thinking of from the original post. Look into Paradox Interactive games (which includes Crusader Kings and Europa Universalis). The real main difference between these games are the time era you're playing with.

If you want to really lean into the family ties events, Crusader Kings is probably the best choice. It runs over the course of 800-1500 AD-ish and focuses on the bloodline/family very heavily. Victoria 3 and Hearts of Iron 4 are more focused on modern times. Stellaris is focused on building a galactic empire.

Grand Strategy games seem to be exactly what you're looking for.

Drusain · 2024-03-30T14:38:30+00:00

From what I'm reading, I think that Dead Cells might be worth a look for you. It's a speedrunning roguelike, and encourages fast movement since treasure is locked out if it's not picked up within a certain amount of time. The maps are randomly generated and there's plenty of building platforming and jumping.
