Topic: The Switch Recommendations Thread

@Xyphon22

The designer and scenario writer for Eiyuden Chronicles HH was the producer for the first three Suikoden games. Playing EC would give you a good idea what to expect from the Suikoden collection. The town building aspect is more of a side questing activity. The majority of people you recruit aren't for use in combat (although you could), but to expand and enhance the vendor offerings at your home base.

Better to have everything centralized rather than running from place to place.

@Magician Thanks for the reply. So is the recruiting/town building similar to how it is in Ni no Kuni 2 (if you've played that)? Because while not my favorite part of the game, I was good with it in that game. And I was just never a fan of how those PS1 era RPGs tended to just throw party members at you, most of whom were unimportant and just took up space (looking at you, Chrono Cross).

And yeah, I knew a lot of the same people worked on both games, which is why I was kind of wondering if how I felt about Eiyuden Chronicles would probably be how I feel about Suikoden, or if they are either different enough or if one is so much better that I might like/dislike one but feel different about the other.

I've been playing some demo's recently and I'd recommend the following:

Bloomtown A Different Story
The Hundred Line - Last Defense Academy
Rusty Rabbit

Oh boy... i'm gonna be playing this backlog until Switch 2 OLED arnt I... ^^'

Really enjoying Pepper Grinder at the moment, its got a wonderfully strange punky and ever so slightly dark theme running through it and the inventive mechanics have suprised me on several occasions. Short, sweet and only £15 online at the moment.

Also recommending Diofield Chronicles (not quite stellar but more solid then I was expecting with a half decent narrative) which is only £10 online.
