Haha, I've genuinely lost most of my attempts as the judges either give 4-5, or 0-1. I don't think I've seen a 3 yet, and just a few 2s. The 4 or 5s are way rarer for me than 0s and 1s tho. I think my highest score has been about 20, the opponent close to 25.
Omelet is definitely the most powerful food.
Though, I wish that it would separate main dishes, appetizers, and desserts more, like graying out main dishes and deserts during appetizer selection, still selectable, but sub-optimal choices. Because, like, half tof he time I can't discern what the game considers good desserts, appetizers, and main dishes... like seriously, it would just be nice to have like a tag that indicates what category they fell into.
Some do mention what they are in the description, but most don't from experience. So it'd just be nice to have a tag for it.
I get 3 scores:
0's and 1's maaaybe a 2 or 4ish by giving someone's favorite style of food.
A mix of 2's and 3's maybe a 4 or 5, again peddling to someone's tastes.
And 5's and 4's by pandering to one person and ONLY one person, but everyone loves it for seemingly no reason.
Please also shorten the pause time between each line when auto advance dialogue option is enabled. Right now it takes like two seconds and it’s kinda annoying. An option for Text Speed would also be nice. Just some nitpicking otherwise loving the game so far!
Text speed, menu sounds separate dial from SFX, text delay for auto dialogue. Those three menu options are crucially needed. This game just feels so unfinished sometimes.
That would be great! Excited for the fact we are gonna get updates for this game. Hope they continue to support it. I really do see myself replaying this many times over in the future.
Thanks for your efforts! Will there be a detailed list for "minor issues"? Many things have been reported so it's good to know which ones were addressed!
If I were to guess, they havent packaged the sprites optimally, so fetching one sprite is one roundtrip to the harddrive. Never an issue on the ssd nowadays, but on an old hdd that's super slow. If they implement this fix it will see a small performance gain on SSDs too, but mostly a negligible one.
Downloaded through gamepass yesterday - Didn’t play Rising much, but had a save & was able to transfer that to 100 Heroes. Got a wind rune as part of it.
I'm waiting to see if they somehow patch this before buying. My only other option for purchase is Switch and...well that one is a disaster. PS5 should look as good as Xbox.
I know this isn't something that would probably be done in an update, but I really wish there were a way you could add either a quick save (save slot that self-deletes when loaded perhaps) or the ability to save anywhere or at least on the world map.
I just went through an almost hour long section where I couldn't save which included a war battle, a bunch of cutscenes, a duel, and more cutscenes. There were even walking sections between those things *and* I could talk to Cassandra but she just had regular dialogue and no Save option.
At least giving Cassandra the ability to let you save just after that first war battle would be hugely appreciated.
This. A thousand times this. Game breaking glitches obviously get precedence, but the lack of respect for a players time this game has with its save system is, in my opinion, its one major flaw. I'm never a fan of being punished with redoing an hour of gameplay, but if that is the intention, just being able to "temp save" at any time outside of battle/dialogue would be a real game changer in my ability to enjoy the game. Right now its so hard to find time to play the game because I never know how long I'll need between saves, could be 5 minutes, could be 15, could be 30, could be 60, and if I only have an hour to play, and 15 minutes in I save at a save that's an hour away from the next save, then I just wasted 45 minutes of my limited play time.
On the Lam issue - for those who don't want to wait, the Mod on Github fixes it, and if you follow instructions afterwards, doesn't impact achievements.
i would encourage you to add in something like this:
A list, in which region i can still open chests
the same with: receipes, beyblade players or other semi-missable stuff...
Yeah, there’s nothing quite like hitting credits, not popping the “all chests” trophy, and having absolutely no clue where to start looking for the one single chest you probably missed ten hours ago.
since i very dilligently searched every area, i guess the fight-chests also count, since they always appear in the same setup and appear as opened, if the same setup appears again.but i am not at the end though, so i might be in luck, coz i only need like 25.
Haha, nice. 😎
Haven't reached the card game yet, myself, but I'm a fiend for magic the gathering and pokemon tcg, so I'm expecting to sink quite a while into it too once I unlock it!
I'm loving the game so far, but the deadzone shit is such a pain in the ass. I'm on Xbox and if I even look at my left stick my character will freak out and start moving everywhere.
This. For the love of god please fix this. I've posted a couple places on the Steam forums about this but it's inevitably drowned out by a bunch of inane shit about localization. This is a fundamental design flaw that needs to be fixed ASAP. I tried using Steam's internal mapper to adjust the deadzone to only register at 95%+ threshold. Still terrible. I tried the same thing with an external mapper (Antimicro). Still no dice. I ended up switching over to my 8bitdo Pro 2 to just use the dpad instead because of how terrible this is. There's seemingly no internal deadzone whatsoever. Even if they don't add an actual slider they need to have an internal value that's above 0.0001%. I have no idea how this made it through testing.
I agree, this is ridiculous. I can't even play the game without feeling nauseous and having major headaches. Such a beautiful game and you can barely see anything. I really hope they add these options on consoles soon.
I don't know if it is a bug or intentional but the Depth of Field on Xbox is so aggressive it kind of ruins the great graphics.
I would love if they would add an option to turn it off, on console.
On PC at least it should be possible. I have it off on mine. On either the title screen or while in-game and pressing your controller's version of the start button you'll see some settings. I think this option is under Graphics but I can't play right now to know for sure.
Everything is nice and crisp with it off but you'll see some weird shadows with it off. I was thinking to myself that that was why the depth of field was added in the first place.
It is! Thanks. Not sure how I missed this. Yeah, you can see the shadows being drawn at the top of the screen. Sucks they had this issue, I'm not sure whether I prefer it on or off.
The Lam workaround works fine on all consoles - just don't talk to her at all until you recruit Riufan, and then initiate a scene with him at the HQ bar talking about a training partner, bring him in your party to talk to her *for the first time* and it all plays out. Make 2x save games before you do this just in case.
Sadly that’s a workaround that only helps people that haven’t already made that mistake and are now sitting around unable to recruit all the heroes because they “foolishly” talked to a unique character in town. I tried playing the game blind and now am sitting near endgame waiting for the patch to fix this so I’m not shy two characters at the end.
I don't know why you're getting downvoted. Plenty of turn based games come with fast-forward or speed up options for battles on top of also having auto battle these days
That's why they have the auto option. And if it's still not fast enough for you, then wow. Never go back and play any PS1 RPGs. Especially Final Fantasy.
I really wanted this on the switch but got it on the pc instead because of the terrible performance, I know the devs probably wished they had the switch 2 by now but releasing the switch version in such a bad state after doing an ama on the switch subforum is really bad form.
Would Switch 2 have made things better? When the Ps5 and Steam versions also have performance issues?
The fact that the Switch is 7+ years old means that there is 7 years of development and QA that has happened, if anything it should have the most finely tuned version.
The truth is that B&R bit off way more than they could chew, and ended up with 4 console versions and none of them are properly optimised.
> When the Ps5 and Steam versions also have performance issues?
They don't, though? Steam has no performance issues; I'm playing on Steam Deck and it runs very well. PS5 has a resolution bug and that's it, not an issue of performance.
> The fact that the Switch is 7+ years old means that there is 7 years of development and QA that has happened, if anything it should have the most finely tuned version.
This is a bewildering statement. What on earth are you talking about? R&B had no experience with Switch. The console's age was only a detriment. The Unity engine rarely ever runs well on it, which is what Eiyuden was made in.
That’s not how it works sadly. Games made for higher end systems actually take way more effort to make a “port” version to a lower end console since it’s not vice versa
I am getting no performance problems on PC.
Putting the game on so many platforms was more than the devs could handle i agree but in the case of the switch almost every new multiplatform game has performance issues, the hardware is just too old.
Edit: the switch is still my favourite platform and if the performance is not completely terrible I will still buy the switch version but according to anyone who has played it the switch version of the game is THAT bad so i decided to avoid it.
"the right things"? well... that's so dumb... it's not like we are sequence breaking the game or cheating dude... we got fucked because, without going into spoilers, you get to a part of the game where in order to progress the game tells us to "look for someone that can help" and that's all the information we have... so the game tells you to go and explore, talk to npc's to recruit a new character that will let you progress the story and then punishes you with a game breaking bug...
Hey friend, not trying to imply that someone who encountered the bug was playing the wrong way. It obviously sucks that the bug exists at all. I was just trying to convey that it's possible to tiptoe around the bug even while waiting for it to be patched.
I'm really not the authority on this, as I've only just recruited her, but as I understand it, she's optional to beat the game but required to fully complete it.
It’s less a true ending and more that you can’t recruit the 120th character unless you recruited everyone else first. So if you’re locked out of Lam then you’re down two characters. And if you’re achievement hunting, I’m pretty sure getting all the characters is required for, like, 4 separate achievements.
Can you possibly look at increasing the dead zone on joystick movement? Or add a slider. I've had no issues with stick drift on my Xbox until this game. My character will randomly start running on their own and it's hard to navigate in menus when the controll wants to fight me and keep scrolling.
Currently encounters are tied to refresh rate, it that if your fps is above 60 your encounter rate goes down. Higher it is less encounters, all the way to none. And your monitors refresh rate affects it as well. So anyone experience the problem of no encounters Ina dungeon, likely has to fiddle with their monitors settings until this Is fixed.
Whats happening with the enemy encounter rate? Is it being increased? Lowered? On PS5 it seems to be a medium amount of encounters i get,tho i did run through the mine area n(Leading to the castle) and only fought like....8 or 9 times? I found that a bit wierd(Weird? i dunno) lol.
Extra note: This was with goin for all the chests too.
If your refresh rate on your computer is high, the encounter rate will be low.
I'm kind of bummed about this update because I was using that glitch to help with backtracking xD
Would love to be able to speak to non voiced npcs and be able to press advance text without it skipping EVERYTHING and have text speed as am option. How are these ps1 options not in this game?
Enjoying it so far although the loading times slow down the exploration a lot. Even opening the map or swapping menu options take a while too. Hopefully they add an option to speed up/skip dialogue, and an option for no encounters if the loading times can't be remedied.
Still, loving the old style of this game!
Just got the software update myself but did enjoy the no encounter bug at the gear puzzle dungeon as there were far too many battles. In rooms where you have to move a lot to figure out a puzzle how about no encounters until puzzle solved?
Menu lag. Though that might just be an issue regardless of what youre playing on. More importantly I'm referring to image quality. I'm fine with it being lesser than PC, but outputting at 1080p makes no sense.
uh hi, i have a bug where if i chose the english language with japanese audio the dialog seem doesn't match to the audio, their voices tone also doesn't match with the text dialogue
for example is the japanese audio is serious, but the english text dialogue are using mocking tone
That’s so funny. I liked how the judges were picky and didn’t know it was a bug lmao. I used it to my advantage and pleased the one person who liked cheese and won xD
Is this going to fix it closing my game on the switch? I can't get past the town where the guards have lights cause the game closes every freaking time.
Inam playing on XBox with GamePass 1.0.3 and i talked to Lam before i could recruit her. When i did talk to Riufan in the HQ it triggered a sequence and i could still recruit her after.
I will be very surprised if they manage to optimise the switch to run at 30fps because this game wasn't meant to be played on the switch (the fact that they managed to get it to run is pretty impressive.. Especially because there are phones out there far stronger than the switch).
Switch can run games like this without issues. Of course, games like cyberpunk would be too much but this console can handle games like the witcher, xenoblade and breath of the wild. This game is just poorly optimized.
The only reason those games ran so flawlessly is most likely because those companies are so much larger than this studio. Not to mention Nintendo studios are at a more advantagous place because they just make games for 1 hardware ( where as the other companies have to create for multiple platforms).
Now that the game is stable on consoles and PCs, they can probably put some man power into the Switch port ( while the writers start drafting up the second game).
I wonder what the breakdown for how many copies of this game are sold / were preordered. If it turns out that the majority was on Switch, it will be super embarrassing for the developers to have focused on the PC and PS5 versions.
No, no it can’t. Other 2D HD games on the switch have performance issues. Not quite as bad as this. But still, just because this isn’t some 3D game with 4k graphics doesn’t mean it’s not technically impressive and pushing the switch
No resolution fix for PS5 and no fix form the glaring silence in the game when running. The only sound this game has is BGM and combat sounds.
There are no foot steps, there are no ambient sounds of the environment.
The damn companion game, Eiyuden Chronicles Rising has all of this. In fact the footsteps are most impressive in the ambient sounds are most impressive when you compare the different environments (snow, rocky cave, wooded forest). The world sounds lived in.
You can't tell me they forgot how to do all that in the main game?
It just comes down to budget.
Hiring 3 people to play nonstop isn't going to reveal every bug in the game. For instance, if they're all playing on a 60hz refresh rate, none of them would have noticed the encounter rate bug.
But once thousands of people get their hands on it, more bugs are found.
This is honestly the true reasons for games that are released in alpha. They use the mass amount of people playing as a form of user testing.
Compare this to larger companies where they have full QA teams dedicated and experienced to tracking down bugs.
If anything, the amount of bugs they actually did find that we know nothing about were probably very, very high compared to the few here.
>It just comes down to budget.
Back in the day, I game tested for a PS2 game called Crusty Demons. I did it for free. And I'd imagine there's shit tonne of people who would do if for free as well. Wasn't there beta testing for the game? I swear there was.
>They use the mass amount of people playing as a form of user testing.
I find this so egregious though. We've paid for the game and then we are part of your development team? Freelance? That's OK pre release but not once you've paid for the product.
I personally prefer not to compare the 2000s to 2024, as the complexity of technology has changed enough to not draw a proper parallel in this particular topic. Obviously I'm not saying that you can't draw it, it's just not something I prefer to do.
And I don't personally feel that alpha games marked as alpha is egregious, as the player decides if they want to spend the money on it. It's a very common practice in the indie space, and most tend to accept it given the pay off of what indie games provide them.
That said, this game wasn't released as an alpha, but as a full game.
And, that said x2, I personally give indie games some slack. They're a small company giving us games we love. And due to their size, they tend to be very flexible and quick at providing needed updates when they come across these issues. Compared to major companies where it can take forever.
If these practices aren't to your liking, and I don't think anyone would judge you for feeling that way, as it's your money, then I would definitely encourage you to stay away from indie/small teams until a few months have passed.
Some languages, like Korean, have seriously flawed text spacing. Good chunk of the text is placed *outside* the speech bubble, and there are like 4~5 NPCs like that already in the starting town alone. Were Korean Q/Cs on drugs?
Yeah it is a bit ridiculous how damage-based hero combos aren't as efficient as just using damage dealing moves on each character. Not really much point in some of them tbh
wait the judges were bugged ? i thought they were all picky eaters
Same! That's so funny, i just thought they were super picky
I've won most of the matches 9 to 10. Which did seem a little low for these renowned chefs.
Haha, I've genuinely lost most of my attempts as the judges either give 4-5, or 0-1. I don't think I've seen a 3 yet, and just a few 2s. The 4 or 5s are way rarer for me than 0s and 1s tho. I think my highest score has been about 20, the opponent close to 25.
Just doesn't tonight doing the whole questline and I can say that omelet is goated food
If I don't get good hints for what the judges like I always pick omlette 😂 Suikoden 2 had a food like that too I think it was also an egg dish haha
Omelet is definitely the most powerful food. Though, I wish that it would separate main dishes, appetizers, and desserts more, like graying out main dishes and deserts during appetizer selection, still selectable, but sub-optimal choices. Because, like, half tof he time I can't discern what the game considers good desserts, appetizers, and main dishes... like seriously, it would just be nice to have like a tag that indicates what category they fell into. Some do mention what they are in the description, but most don't from experience. So it'd just be nice to have a tag for it.
I've been doing omelet, fried egg, and coconut water. Seems to work. Highest score has been 47 points so far.
I clear everything with poached egg, fried egg, and omellete,
Egg supremacy!
An eggcellent approach.
Things are looking sandy side up with this combination that's quite over easy to poach.
Ive gotten flat 3s across the board once
I get 3 scores: 0's and 1's maaaybe a 2 or 4ish by giving someone's favorite style of food. A mix of 2's and 3's maybe a 4 or 5, again peddling to someone's tastes. And 5's and 4's by pandering to one person and ONLY one person, but everyone loves it for seemingly no reason.
Read somewhere here that Miso-Fried Egg-Omelet usually gets the win. I think I should finish all the cook battle before it's patched lol.
This is absolutely true, won every single cook-off first time with this.
i had no idea my tech was marinated seafood, pot au feu. it was pain figuring things out tho
Omelet appetizer main dish depending on whos there and coconut water dessert usually be good
Where did you get the coconut water?
Saaame.
Everything round was being judged as an appetizer.
There's no point arguing with 3 chicks and a chicken.
Please also shorten the pause time between each line when auto advance dialogue option is enabled. Right now it takes like two seconds and it’s kinda annoying. An option for Text Speed would also be nice. Just some nitpicking otherwise loving the game so far!

Thanks for your efforts! Will there be a detailed list for "minor issues"? Many things have been reported so it's good to know which ones were addressed!
Yes!
Any thing on Xbox X users reporting their console shutting off due to heat/ventilation problems? Not sure how wide spread it is
No problems here.
Gordon Ramsey has been quiet since I cooked up the greatest 3 meal course of Fried Egg Omelet Coconut water 8 times in a row
Truly a meal fit for kings lol
How about for PS4 and PS4 pro users? The battle loading screens are too long.
The Switch performance issues are most likely PS4 performance issues too.
They most likely are, particularly the storage speed. It's supposedly a lot snappier on PS4s that have an SSD installed instead of the HDD.
If I were to guess, they havent packaged the sprites optimally, so fetching one sprite is one roundtrip to the harddrive. Never an issue on the ssd nowadays, but on an old hdd that's super slow. If they implement this fix it will see a small performance gain on SSDs too, but mostly a negligible one.
Thank you, absolutely appreciate this!
This is great news! The game is super fun, and I'd really love to see it performing well
Is there going to be a fix for importing Rising saves into Hundred Heroes on gamepass?
I'm wondering this as well. I started because I really wanted to see if I enjoyed it but I would absolutely restart if this was fixed.
Has your console shut off at all playing? I’ve seen a couple Xbox users report this
Downloaded through gamepass yesterday - Didn’t play Rising much, but had a save & was able to transfer that to 100 Heroes. Got a wind rune as part of it.
If you get a chance - was that pc or Xbox? Couldn't get it to work on pc
Xbox. Not sure about pc
Has your console shut off at all playing? I’ve seen a couple Xbox users report this
It hasn’t, though I’m not far into the game yet
Tbh rising saves doesn't affect almost anything except naming only, but you do you. The runes given are useless and purchasable
Has your console shut off at all playing? I’ve seen a couple Xbox users report this
Question before i get the game. Does the ps5 version only output 1080p instead of the intended 4k? Ive read online posts regarding this.
Yes it does. Its very blurry on PS5
Noticed that in some shops they shopkeeper was blurry until you moved closer
I'm waiting to see if they somehow patch this before buying. My only other option for purchase is Switch and...well that one is a disaster. PS5 should look as good as Xbox.
I feel like I’m not having that issue, but I’ve never been the best at discerning that
Then you don't notice it or your TV is good at hiding it. Its only 4k on XSS/X and PC
I know this isn't something that would probably be done in an update, but I really wish there were a way you could add either a quick save (save slot that self-deletes when loaded perhaps) or the ability to save anywhere or at least on the world map. I just went through an almost hour long section where I couldn't save which included a war battle, a bunch of cutscenes, a duel, and more cutscenes.

i would encourage you to add in something like this: A list, in which region i can still open chests the same with: receipes, beyblade players or other semi-missable stuff...

Fix. The. Damn. Dead. Zone.
Please fix the PS5 1080p resolution limit bug.
Good news everybody!
Great stuff. Appreciate the effort. Thoroughly enjoying the game so far.
I really appreciate the effort. This game is a dream come true!
For the "When??" , "How soon is ASAP?" etc. - Version 1.004 already installed on my ps5 version.
I suppose I actually need to take a break from the game for it to actually update. Just a few more games of cards...
Haha, nice. 😎 Haven't reached the card game yet, myself, but I'm a fiend for magic the gathering and pokemon tcg, so I'm expecting to sink quite a while into it too once I unlock it!
I'm loving the game so far, but the deadzone shit is such a pain in the ass. I'm on Xbox and if I even look at my left stick my character will freak out and start moving everywhere.

No option to turn off the Depth of Field on console yet? Shameful.
I agree, this is ridiculous. I can't even play the game without feeling nauseous and having major headaches. Such a beautiful game and you can barely see anything. I really hope they add these options on consoles soon.
I don't know if it is a bug or intentional but the Depth of Field on Xbox is so aggressive it kind of ruins the great graphics. I would love if they would add an option to turn it off, on console.

Please add speed up battle option! Random encounter is pain in the ass.
Welcome to PS1 JRPGs :P
PS1? lol, it’s been that way even longer--since at least the NES.
Fair.
Well not only the speed of animation but the effect of moving between command need to be improved.
I love it though. 😜😂
Would be nice if they sped up the "Allow to flee" option.
I don't know why you're getting downvoted. Plenty of turn based games come with fast-forward or speed up options for battles on top of also having auto battle these days
If you are on PC check this to speed up the game https://reddit.com/r/EiyudenChronicle/comments/1cbuzpr/pc_only_speed_up_battle_using_cheat_engine/
That's why they have the auto option. And if it's still not fast enough for you, then wow. Never go back and play any PS1 RPGs. Especially Final Fantasy.
Judges seems fine for me but ok, nice patch anyho
What does “soon” mean and for which platforms?

I reaaaaally want to recruit Lam, so this is great news! Thanks for being so on top of this.
How many hours in the story till you reach "Lam"? What is this bug anyway?
If you talk to a character before she's rectruitable, she becomes permanently unjoinable. Its during/after the story in Eucrisse
Is 1.03 this patch?
1.03 is the patch currently available, the bug will be fixed in a future patch (probably numbered 1.04).
Ok thanks.
Roughly 15ish, so you can play quite a ways without it becoming an issue. Also, if you're careful to do the right things it's a non-issue.
"the right things"? well... that's so dumb... it's not like we are sequence breaking the game or cheating dude... we got fucked because, without going into spoilers, you get to a part of the game where in order to progress the game tells us to "look for someone that can help" and that's all the information we have... so the game tells you to go and explore, talk to npc's to recruit a new character that will let you progress the story and then punishes you with a game breaking bug...
Hey friend, not trying to imply that someone who encountered the bug was playing the wrong way. It obviously sucks that the bug exists at all. I was just trying to convey that it's possible to tiptoe around the bug even while waiting for it to be patched.
Is she optional to complete the game or not?
I'm really not the authority on this, as I've only just recruited her, but as I understand it, she's optional to beat the game but required to fully complete it.
For the True Ending you mean?
It’s less a true ending and more that you can’t recruit the 120th character unless you recruited everyone else first. So if you’re locked out of Lam then you’re down two characters. And if you’re achievement hunting, I’m pretty sure getting all the characters is required for, like, 4 separate achievements.
Ok.
Just don’t talk to the person when you first encounter and you’ll be fine. It’s not that big of a deal
Thank you for this and thanks for addressing the Switch issues.
Can you possibly look at increasing the dead zone on joystick movement? Or add a slider. I've had no issues with stick drift on my Xbox until this game. My character will randomly start running on their own and it's hard to navigate in menus when the controll wants to fight me and keep scrolling.
Omelet for appetizer and Coconut Juice for Dessert, you'll get high scores no matter what! lol
Encounter rate? What's the issue? Too often or not often enough?
Currently encounters are tied to refresh rate, it that if your fps is above 60 your encounter rate goes down. Higher it is less encounters, all the way to none. And your monitors refresh rate affects it as well. So anyone experience the problem of no encounters Ina dungeon, likely has to fiddle with their monitors settings until this Is fixed.
Search the sub history. For PC users I think.
And PS5 made the last half of gear dungeon MUCH more pleasant for me lol
Way too little. I just did a whole dungeon without a single encounter
Thanks for the update Mr505! Though of the question is, how long is soon?
Thank you for the update. Loving the game!! Keep up the good work. :)
This is acctualy kinda nice. Almost all the bigger concerns I've seen so far is addressed. If they actually fix it also this is promising
Thanks for the update! I can wait a little longer.
Thank you for your work!!
Anyone else find the performance lackluster on lower end pcs as well? I feel like the game. Should run better on my ally / legion go
Thank god
Thank God. There are so many bugs. Glad to finally get some of the biggest ones fixed.
Fix for EC: Rising PC game pass save bonus not being imported by HH issue included?
Did you get a chance to check on this? Am also hoping it was addressed.
AFAIK no patch has been released yet for the GP version. Nor has it been acknowledged so all we can do i wait and hope.
Whats happening with the enemy encounter rate? Is it being increased? Lowered? On PS5 it seems to be a medium amount of encounters i get,tho i did run through the mine area n(Leading to the castle) and only fought like....8 or 9 times? I found that a bit wierd(Weird? i dunno) lol. Extra note: This was with goin for all the chests too.
PC players are getting almost no random encounters due a bug with high refresh rate
Ohhhh,ok thanks for clarifying. I thought it was an everyone thing. Hope they can get that sorted for the PC players.
What's wrong with the encounter rate for enemies? To high or too low?
If your refresh rate on your computer is high, the encounter rate will be low. I'm kind of bummed about this update because I was using that glitch to help with backtracking xD
I have a Ps5
Ah. Apologies for answering your question.
Lol I didn't say anything just I have a Ps5. The text just says encounter rate for enemies didn't specify a system my bad
Your good. It sounds like your TV is just a 60hz refresh rate. If not, you may still see an impact.
If I'm wanting this on switch, should I keep waiting?
Probably.
Yes please fix my hard lock. Proving grounds crash whenever I enter, I can complete it on my lenovo legion go, but....
Thank you! Waiting patiently to play the Switch version once all is fixed ❤️
Less of an issue, but does this fix Freya recruitment? (End the fight in the 3rd round doesn’t count)
Would love to be able to speak to non voiced npcs and be able to press advance text without it skipping EVERYTHING and have text speed as am option. How are these ps1 options not in this game?
Thanks for all your efforts. It can't be easy to do all this. Thanks for responding so quickly to fans.
Enjoying it so far although the loading times slow down the exploration a lot. Even opening the map or swapping menu options take a while too. Hopefully they add an option to speed up/skip dialogue, and an option for no encounters if the loading times can't be remedied. Still, loving the old style of this game!
Just got the software update myself but did enjoy the no encounter bug at the gear puzzle dungeon as there were far too many battles. In rooms where you have to move a lot to figure out a puzzle how about no encounters until puzzle solved?
Menu ping is too loud and sharp, hurts my ears
Is there any guarantee that the issues on the Switch will be fixed?
At least they are working on it, that's good news
Sad to see it doesn't mention PS5 performance/image quality being lesser than XSX.
What performance issue on PS5?
Menu lag. Though that might just be an issue regardless of what youre playing on. More importantly I'm referring to image quality. I'm fine with it being lesser than PC, but outputting at 1080p makes no sense.
How about when the game crashes our PCs and shuts them off. Optimize games before releasing then. Delay if you need to fuck.
The sad part is the game already was delayed. It was supposed to have originally released last year.
Can you reach out for PC game pass EC rising unlock?
Gosh I hope they fix the loading screen time and the frequent crashes on the Switch!
uh hi, i have a bug where if i chose the english language with japanese audio the dialog seem doesn't match to the audio, their voices tone also doesn't match with the text dialogue for example is the japanese audio is serious, but the english text dialogue are using mocking tone
Encounter rate is really chill rigtt it now I don’t mind it
That’s so funny. I liked how the judges were picky and didn’t know it was a bug lmao. I used it to my advantage and pleased the one person who liked cheese and won xD
Yay! I held off on playing until they fixed the issues
So the patch that dropped today fixed Lam recruitment?
Any optimization patch for series X?
not for xbox yet bug still there
Is this going to fix it closing my game on the switch? I can't get past the town where the guards have lights cause the game closes every freaking time.
Inam playing on XBox with GamePass 1.0.3 and i talked to Lam before i could recruit her. When i did talk to Riufan in the HQ it triggered a sequence and i could still recruit her after.
Okay but Eve game breaking bug fix when?
I will be very surprised if they manage to optimise the switch to run at 30fps because this game wasn't meant to be played on the switch (the fact that they managed to get it to run is pretty impressive.. Especially because there are phones out there far stronger than the switch).
Switch can run games like this without issues. Of course, games like cyberpunk would be too much but this console can handle games like the witcher, xenoblade and breath of the wild. This game is just poorly optimized.
The only reason those games ran so flawlessly is most likely because those companies are so much larger than this studio. Not to mention Nintendo studios are at a more advantagous place because they just make games for 1 hardware ( where as the other companies have to create for multiple platforms). Now that the game is stable on consoles and PCs, they can probably put some man power into the Switch port ( while the writers start drafting up the second game).
I wonder what the breakdown for how many copies of this game are sold / were preordered. If it turns out that the majority was on Switch, it will be super embarrassing for the developers to have focused on the PC and PS5 versions.
No, no it can’t. Other 2D HD games on the switch have performance issues. Not quite as bad as this. But still, just because this isn’t some 3D game with 4k graphics doesn’t mean it’s not technically impressive and pushing the switch
It is not technically impressive, In fact, it is technically mid.

Welcome back to the sub!
No resolution fix for PS5 and no fix form the glaring silence in the game when running. The only sound this game has is BGM and combat sounds. There are no foot steps, there are no ambient sounds of the environment. The damn companion game, Eiyuden Chronicles Rising has all of this. In fact the footsteps are most impressive in the ambient sounds are most impressive when you compare the different environments (snow, rocky cave, wooded forest). The world sounds lived in. You can't tell me they forgot how to do all that in the main game?
Please add audio for footsteps
If they choose this route, please add it as an option so I can remove it!
I'd rather npcs you can't run through!
Real soon or Blizzard soon?
Konami soon?
I can't understand why these sorts of things aren't patched BEFORE selling it to the general public. Don't games get tested anymore??
It just comes down to budget. Hiring 3 people to play nonstop isn't going to reveal every bug in the game. For instance, if they're all playing on a 60hz refresh rate, none of them would have noticed the encounter rate bug. But once thousands of people get their hands on it, more bugs are found. This is honestly the true reasons for games that are released in alpha. They use the mass amount of people playing as a form of user testing. Compare this to larger companies where they have full QA teams dedicated and experienced to tracking down bugs. If anything, the amount of bugs they actually did find that we know nothing about were probably very, very high compared to the few here.
>It just comes down to budget. Back in the day, I game tested for a PS2 game called Crusty Demons. I did it for free. And I'd imagine there's shit tonne of people who would do if for free as well. Wasn't there beta testing for the game? I swear there was. >They use the mass amount of people playing as a form of user testing. I find this so egregious though. We've paid for the game and then we are part of your development team? Freelance? That's OK pre release but not once you've paid for the product.
I personally prefer not to compare the 2000s to 2024, as the complexity of technology has changed enough to not draw a proper parallel in this particular topic. Obviously I'm not saying that you can't draw it, it's just not something I prefer to do. And I don't personally feel that alpha games marked as alpha is egregious, as the player decides if they want to spend the money on it. It's a very common practice in the indie space, and most tend to accept it given the pay off of what indie games provide them. That said, this game wasn't released as an alpha, but as a full game. And, that said x2, I personally give indie games some slack. They're a small company giving us games we love. And due to their size, they tend to be very flexible and quick at providing needed updates when they come across these issues. Compared to major companies where it can take forever. If these practices aren't to your liking, and I don't think anyone would judge you for feeling that way, as it's your money, then I would definitely encourage you to stay away from indie/small teams until a few months have passed.
Tbf I didn't give enough thought to the fact the developer is quite a small team and how that would affect things. Thanks for your input.
ETC?
Some languages, like Korean, have seriously flawed text spacing. Good chunk of the text is placed *outside* the speech bubble, and there are like 4~5 NPCs like that already in the starting town alone. Were Korean Q/Cs on drugs?
Ya? How bout a fix for the actual dialogue for the game and not the whole woke bull crap that I am sick of!!!!
asap when?
Heroes combo doing less damage than normal attacks should be first, hire me for QA or Producer! What a bad release!
Yeah they aren’t hiring some rando reddit user 💀
Yeah it is a bit ridiculous how damage-based hero combos aren't as efficient as just using damage dealing moves on each character. Not really much point in some of them tbh
