Back in the 90s and early 00s, I actually used to play JRPGs quite a bit. But somewhere down the line, JRPGs changed in ways that pushed me away from the genre, and I haven't thought about or played one since.
However, thanks to Eiyuden Chronicle : Hundred Heroes, I've realized that a genre is never truly gone so long as there are still those who remember it, and Hundred Heroes' ability to balance between old-school style and new-school quality of life improvements has brought me back to the table, interest renewed.

You know there's just something about your voice that always brings me back to your video. You could pribably post anything and id tune in just to listen.
-
Dude I love that you're branching out and getting through your actual backlog. I am obsessed with Fromsoft games like many, but I love that you're showing so many other cool games
-
I'm too old to go onto every Backlogs video and post "Magical Cutie Missile!" on every one.

The mole boss has indeed a way to know where he would be, while he spin to burrow in the sand, he will take a angle toward where he will go. So if he is to the left, jump and look toward the right, he will be to the right, i saw that hint the second time he jumped.

As someone who put hundreds of hours into the first two Suikoden games, I'm truly looking forward to a modern spiritual successor of games already ahead of their time!
-
thank you so much Lemon!!! I didn't know about this game and from what you say it seems awesome! I love to see this resurgence of turn based RPG games! I got hooked to them since Final Fantasy 1!!! gotta try this one out for sure!!
-
Kickstartered this and got mine a couple weeks ago. So much fun!
-
I figured out the mole boss's tell. While wearing headphones the audio has drums crash on the side the mole is going to pop up on. Its a sublt difference but you can listen for it.

Game looks hella exciting!!
Can't wait to play it!
Great video đź‘Ť -
Honestly, I'm a little split. I was interested in Eiyuden Chronicles, but I've heard some things about questionable changes to the English translation. Based on Leamon's review though, I may still pick this up. Especially since it seems to have a such a heavy focus on story and worldbuilding, which is just the thing I've been looking for now that I've finally caught up with the Trails series.
Speaking of JRPG's Lemon, have you ever played the Xenoblade games from Monolithsoft? Some of the best JRPGs I've played in the last decade, with some of the best stories, main characters and villains, combat is pretty fun too. I also highly recommend Nihon Falcom's The Legend of Heroes: Trails series if you like the deep character, worldbuilding and story stuff. -
Been watching a streamer friend play this and it's fantastic! Excited to see what you have to say!

cant wait to watch this later, absolutely adore jrpgs

They also made a quest based game in the world of eiyuden chronicle, with the extra development money, it is pretty good, it’s on both Xbox game pass and PlayStation +, it’s not turn based, it side by side action with combos, it’s about 4-10 hours to finish, check it out when you guys get a chance. It’s called Eiyuden Chronicle Rising
Edit I made this comment while watching, so I didn’t see that he brought up rising at the end -
Awesome video! Is there any chance you could do one with a holy run or moonlight greatsword run in one of the souls game with the character lore narrative you do in your vids? That would be a really awesome to see, especially with the narrative you did in your beast claw run that was so cool to see how you did your way of putting the story of that run in the game!

I always like seeing new games on your page
-
Always a bright day when the armored citrus fella blesses with an upload
-
just installed it, will play tomorrow :)
-
I just started this game. There is a LOT of story

Oooooh, nice!! Admittedly, between FFVII Rebirth, my Pokemon Emerald Nuzlocke, Witcher 3, and the upcoming Paper Mario TTYD Remake... I'm a little full up on RPGs at the moment. But I've always heard good things about Eiyuden Chronicle, and it always seemed like something up my alley. And with your genuine enjoyment of it here, Lemon... Suffice to say, it's bumped itself up a bit on my list of things to play.
Plus, on top of all that, I already love JRPGs to bits, and I'm an absolute sucker for the 2D-characters-in-3D-worlds style that's popped up with games like this, Octopath Traveler, etc. It just has so much charm... -
Been wondering about this one glad you covered it
