The RPG Eiyuden Chronicle: Hundred Heroes wasn't in the best state when it first arrived on the Switch but the team behind the game has slowly improved the experience over time. Following a patch earlier this month, the "DAY60 Patch" has now been rolled out for all platforms including the Switch.
This patch improves the functionality and stability of the game on the Switch and bumps this particular build up to Version 1.0.7:
DAY60 Patch (22nd July 2024)
1) Improved loading time before and after battles.
2) Improved operational stability.
3) Added "Always Auto" option to always leave battles to "Auto".
4) Fixed "Change Rune" at the rune shop in the main town so that players can select other members of the party .
5) Other improvements and bug fixes
6) Fixed the end credits
7) Switch only: Further optimizations improving the framerate and stability
Although this game did have performance issues on the Switch at launch, we still thought it was an easy recommendation for any classic JRPG fan with excellent sprite work, an expansive narrative, plenty of teambuilding, and some great boss fights.
A roadmap has also been revealed, with more character stories set to arrive in August, September, and October.

Hey, I might finally get around to playing it
If they're still releasing patches with fixes and updates, then I'm in no rush to try this game. I'll get it once the final patch is out in the future.
I never like it when new content gets added to an RPG I've already finished... Xenoblade 3 for example got two new heroes that I never really had any opportunity to use, because they came out after I already finished the game. ...and the game is way too long for me to want to play it again.
I only started playing Pokémon Scarlet after both of the Area Zero DLC stories were released for this reason. I really don't mind waiting, even with a series as beloved to me as Pokémon.
And besides. For the moment, I'm still playing through the Suikoden series anyway. Last week I finished Suikoden IV (it was good overall, but I thought it had some serious issues...), and I just started its sequel, Suikoden Tactics, a few days ago. ...After Tactics I've still got Suikoden V and Suikoden Tierkreis to play, and... maybe by then, Eiyuden will be fully patched and content-complete. We'll see.
Is it playable now?
Still no word on the botched localization.
Sounds good, but as a Switch enthusiast, I can never get enough stability.
Happy to see they keep on improving it technically and are even going to add content to it, looking forward to eventually playing it (also not in a rush between all the games I'm currently playing and the ones I want to play after those)!
@EarthboundBenjy I think that is a fine point about DLC! I always put off the dlc for Three Houses, even though that’s like the best game ever. This summer after 5 years I finally tried the expansion pass and it did make the game feel new once more.
In Eiyuden Chronicles I think I’d just as soon skip the DLC
@EarthboundBenjy I have a similar sentiment to this kind of content update DLC. With Xenoblade 3 they announced early on they would release a post game story 1 year after launch. I bought the game and left it in the pile until they finally released the final DLC so I could play all in one go.
If I had played it at launched I, too, would struggle with coming back to see smaller additions
nice... ill be playing this game while patches are still on process.. besides, its playable ATM... not an issue as for me... heheh!
