Why is that such a big deal? We're getting a free digital copy out of it.

It's not a big deal at all; just relaying information.

Edit: Only backers get a free digital copy; those who pre-ordered the physical from Amazon (like myself with the PS5 version) and other retailers won't get one.

I guess I backed it. That sucks for everyone else.

Not really sure which thread to place this, but just got a kickstarter email with regards to providing shipping details. $6USD for shipping (price may vary).

Shipping Checkout is Open

Shipping Selection is now live. Backers can now complete the shipping confirmation process and pay for the shipping of their game. We urge you to complete this checkout as soon as possible to prevent any delay of shipment.

Got mine the other day.

 

[saintjules]

Just got the email that my physical copy via Kickstarer is in the shipping phase.

 

[bumpkin]

Looks like the Switch physical release is getting delayed in NA and Europe. Good thing I've pre-ordered the PS5 physical.

But will this affect people who didn’t back it on KS? I remember people buying copies of Battle Chasers Nightwar, Yooka Laylee, and Bloodstained at retail stores before I got my copies of each in the mail. That shit pissed me off (as a backer).

Game pass day one. What a treat.

Suikoden 2 is in my top 10 ever made. Hope this is even half as good.

Feels like Suiko 1's but we'll see I guess.

It will clearly affect those that didn't back it. They're not getting a digital copy. I better start combing through my emails.

never played it, only played a few JRPGs, like chrono trigger and ff7

For me personally Suiko 1 is arguably the best in the series. I found that 3 started the decline. Switching to 3D just never felt right for the franchise as a whole. That's why I'm excited for Hundred Heroes. Seems like it's back to form of what I & II stood for.

The music, story and battles in Suiko 1 all hit at once. Not a lot of JRPGs can pull it off imo. I love the Free-Will feature in the battles. Never have I had a feeling of such an adrenaline rush in combat.

Well, I got that email, and I forgot my password. I filled in my email and they haven't sent me anything about resetting my password. If nothing has changed, do I even need to worry?

I wasn’t referring to the digital copy. I was referring to how physical copies are allocated.

With the three campaigns I mentioned, it seemed like freebies (for backers) took the backseat to new prospective customers. The games were in stores before any backers got copies in the mail. Battle Chasers was the worst, I think it was a good six weeks after release until I finally got my hard copy.

They do ask you confirm the shipping of the item and paying the $6USD. So I'd definitely check for that. But if you did then all good.

Just paid my 6 bones and got confirmed for my free Switch digital copy. I'll be joining y'all at the launch party! (mebbe I'll keep my physical copy sealed when it gets here)

 

[Little Chicken]

I hope I finish Dragon's Dogma 2 before this comes out.

Physical edition just shipped from Yetee

So how does this work with a 100 heroes to choose from? I already find it difficult in FF7R to use all characters and that only has 7 or so.

 

[DragoonKain]

Mine shipped recently as well.

Pretty much it will be like how the Suikoden series does it is my guess.

Each Character you initially meet up with will have conditions on acquiring them. Some will join the party automatically, others will have requirements. Finding an item or doing a sidequest. Something like that.

Obviously you can choose who you jive with most and play with them for as long as you want, along with ones that are forced on you for certain parts of the story. I personally will only play a select number of Characters that I connect with the most and that's it.

Wasn't this the game the devs were hoping to put on the Switch successor? Something about it been a next gen game despite its 2D aesthitcs (iirc)

Wouldn't be surprised if they were forced to launch on Switch and thus gave the Switch version less attention

Here's all you need to know about the Switch and HD2D:

I think they were under the impression Switch 2 would've been released by the time Eiyuden was ready but we got a DS situation on our hands.

Looks like I'll re-join Game Pass Console for month so I can finish P3R and play 100 Heroes.

You're the reason kickstarter was needed.

Anyone know when they are suppose to ship the goodies from the Yetee slacker backer shop?

 

[DragoonKain]

It has arrived.

Mine hasn’t even shipped yet…

Dayum, this Famitsu cover is so good!

[BadBurger]

Turn-based JRPG's are my jam, looks great, and only $50 USD? Incredible and preordered.

 

[Pallas]

Looks like mine was finally picked up and is in the process of getting to me.

Just got my PS5 copy in the mail, but it sounds like the disc is loose. I'm planning to play the game on Steam so I was hoping to keep it sealed as a collector's item... there goes that plan lol

 

[mayham2199]

Everyone was talking about how last year was stacked, but as a fan of Japanese games, the first 4 months of this year are absolutely demolishing my wallet.

This was supposed to be the year I could catch up on 2023 games. Oh well.

 

[Brigandier]

Just playing the game on PS5... There's no trophies?

Game doesn't come out officially until next week - might not have enabled trophies yet.

Damn my trophy hunting OCD is in overdrive right now

Edit nevermind a trophy just popped they're just hidden.

 

[Rat Rage]

On closer inspection, I don't like the look of it. Flat 2D sprites, 3D backgrounds, 3D effects, those cheap-looking puppet animations that are reminicent of mobile game graphics (although a bit more complex I guess) just doesn't fit well together.

I think they got baited into this godawful "2D HD" garbage trend that started with Octopath Traveler.
