I'm guessing it's the voice lines. Every single character your recruit in the game has something to say when recruited, in battle, etc., and if you aren't compressing those audio files the game's file size will bloat to absurd degrees.
iirc there's some AAA game (I think a CoD game?) that's 100 GB, but after someone compressed the audio files it went all the way down to something like 50 GB.
is the game any good?
It's okay, however I wouldn't recommend buying it right now until they patch out some bugs and rebalance things, also it has a lot of old JRPG annoyances that were deliberately put in. If you have gamepass or pirate the game it wouldn't hurt to give it 5 or so hours to see if you like it.
it's bad optimization mostly
The kickstarter initially didn't even list the Switch as a platform they would ship to and were expecting to just ship to the next Nintendo system
No, I mean on the kickstarter itself, they asked backers what version of the game they'd like. And on that survey, they said "next gen Nintendo system" before just making a Switch port when they realized that the next system wouldn't be out in 2024. So it's more that they were assuming they'd have new hardware by now, not that they knew what that hardware would be
The Switch really released during the wrong era. Most game devs now are shit at optimization. The Switch is weaker hardware but there are fricking visual novels that somehow run poorly.
This is the whole BGM and chapter scripts only takes 8gigs.
I'm guessing the 16gb are 3D models, 2D sprites, textures(they looks pretty high res for 1080p) and voices for all 120+ characters.
Voice acting. Does every language have voice acting?
In this day and age you should be able to download voice language packs separately. Why do I need to take up 8gb of space for French and Italian and Spanish and other fake languages that I'll never use?
Only japs and English but each non-key characters sometime got small line for each cutscene including for the side quests, the "chud" shitposting was one of them, if you bring another character it would be a different lines depending on those characters.
Its one of the massive bloat specially you wont ever hear them once you cleared the game, unless the game got a menu to access all 100+ character voice lines.
People should send in complaints about the localization and the bad optimazition on switch. Doing that will make the sequel better and they wont work with that trans team again.
I think most people don't even know what a chud is. Like most people don't know the movie it came from. Its like throwing the word troon in a medieval game or wojak or basedjak, sneed, sus ect
>people freaking out over this
Reminder before "chud" got coopted to refer to incels, chud's been a word akin to oaf and brute for literal decades, often applied to gym rats and high strength low int morons
In fact in the public consciousness outside of the internet, chud still means that. There's nothing wrong with this translation in context.
given the localisation has memes and makes Lian talk like she's tweeting it's pretty obvious they wanted to sneak chud in to troll certain people. the "rub a dub dub" line is also a localisation in-joke referencing trollsubs
I would be pissed if I paid localisers and they inserted trollsubs into my work causing negative reviews, I just hope the devs can get compensated somehow
I'm sure this was their intention here and not some gay sophistry you're trying to push. By the way, I don't mean it's colorful and happy, you're just a gay
>Gives the game a 10/10 >Only thing he says about the localization is a mild complain about dumb shit like grunts being replaced by full sentences >Doesn't touch the trash chud agenda
What a fricking disingenuous coward
't touch the trash chud agenda
It's a line that will only appear if you have a specific character with you when recruiting a certain character, and if you have multiple characters that have a line there it's random which would play. Few people playing the game will see that line, which is probably how the moron got away with sneaking it in to begin with.
Just finished the game at 34 hours played on hard. It's a pretty mediocre game and nowhere near Suikoden 2. I have no clue what took them 3 years to develop, it feels like a ps1 jrpg that could've been created in under a year
Didn't rush but I found the mini games to be pretty trash
Recruited 105 out of 120 characters and honestly the game isn't that fun for me to get the last 15
>Beigoma
Rounds are often too long because they don't explain the attack and element type advantage, still play out 3 even if you won the first two (and I assume lost the first two), no progression within the actual minigame because you get tops from enemies, meaning there's no reason to actually play it. The quest itself seems to just be getting the 5 legendary tops, or whatever the frick they are, which aren't gained from defeating other players. >Card game
I've seen nobody in the world playing this. I think people in your castle are supposed to, but they don't for me. I've played it twice, once for the tutorial and once for the recruit. The minigame's rules are also pretty bad and it takes too long for how simple it is. >Eggfoot racing
I did one race, my dude tripped right out of the gate and had zero chance of catching up. Seems like there's no reason to bother with it until you get better eggs. >Shi'arc racing
lol >Cooking
The "minigame" was bad, the story was bad, it was padded to shit, the Chairman should have been the recruit.
They were too ambitious with the minigames and ended up with quantity over quality. Kinda what I would expect from a bunch of people who skipped like 15 years of game and tech development, actually.

>back game >super excited for release >play for 8 hours >game's shit >still kinda wanna keep playing anyway
i wish this game was good, i really do. i hope they can at least fix up the broken gameplay at some point in the future, or someone can mod and fix it up.
People need to understand that just because a team made a good game decades ago doesn't mean they still have it. People who haven't made a game for a long time are going to be out of practice and won't be able to reproduce their past successes most of the time.
Man that shit they pulled near end of the game liberating all the 3 big cities in a cutscene along with the emperor's kid rescue
What the frick? Did they run out of dev time?
>The developers who worked so hard on this game don't deserve to be dragged into current political infighting
Yeah, the translators they hired shouldn't have done that. Guess they need to be careful who they work with in the future.
>the developers worked so hard on this! ç_ç
And they made a game that's inferior to its 25+ years old original WHICH THEY WORKED ON IN THE FIRST PLACE.
They could have made a rom hack of Suiko2 and it would have been a better product.
pretty sure its voice lines, every recruit-able character and character related to the story is voiced, recruited characters also sometimes say something related to the story which is honestly enjoyable, glad they are not just "I have better stats its why I'm here" writing is shit, menus are shit to navigate and combat should have a 2x speed or if its several people on your team they should all have their turn at the same time.
finished the game at 38 hours
wasn't anything special, nothing close to as good as suikoden 2
game has almost nothing to remember it by, quite underwhelming
like the anon in the previous thread I can't even be arsed to find and recruit all characters
That's absurd. What on earth is taking up that much data? Does it have 15 different languages included or something?
doesn't seem like it...
Are those all spoken languages? or just text.
lole
Oh so i can play this with japanese text and japanese audio just fine? Just choose em in the menu, no need for region changing bullshit?
yeah its very easy to change in the settings
>What on earth is taking up that much data
mostly low skilled immigrant workers who don't know how to compress stuff
I'm guessing it's the voice lines. Every single character your recruit in the game has something to say when recruited, in battle, etc., and if you aren't compressing those audio files the game's file size will bloat to absurd degrees.

isn't this nothing but rumors?

Ah, thanks for the explanation.

What difficulty are you guys playing on? I think hard is too hard. The game rarely gives you heals. Am I supposed to waste all my items?
why do all jap games have moronic names?
The basketball one is bigger, and it's bad
The tales of nowhere: traveler of the forgotten time
Still, stranger of paradise is a cool namd
The Witcher 3 is bigger, but that’s also a big fricken game. And apparently it still runs better than Eiyuden does.
>the biggest game on switch is 28GB
what a dogshit console lmao
Yes, but still better than the competition. Kinda sad.
>competition
>implying
and I still hate the shitch and shitendo
>size equals good!
You must love having several hard drives for your games
>hard drive
A tendie would.
Unlike pckeks they dont need to install physical games, so no
I don't know. I just right click a game and choose install. 150GB is on my incredibly fast SSD in a few minutes. Then I play at 4k165.
Dont bother, the poor dont get our way of life
This is the whole BGM and chapter scripts only takes 8gigs.

Its one of the massive bloat specially you wont ever hear them once you cleared the game, unless the game got a menu to access all 100+ character voice lines.
I appreciate the flavor voice acting by the non main characters but is it worth the extra space?
Yes.
>Actually gave money for this hyperpozzed shit
Fricking yikes man
ESG detected. Save your money, if you must indulge, pirate.
I'd give it a go with MTL
yep this is why i have no interest in this game. frick these lolcowlizer homosexuals i can't wait for ai to take their jobs.
is this actually from in-game?
Can't we write to the Japanese company?
Oh we can, found it

Go politely share your opinions on the localization please everyone.
Nah, I just won't buy it.
I'm filling it out with this.
I recommend others to share their thoughts as well.
症状の簡単な説明:
翻訳の不適切な用語使用
症状の詳細:
ゲーム「英雄伝クロニクル」のローカライズ/翻訳作業において、翻訳チームの不専門的な対応が見受けられます。特に重大な問題として、ゲーム内で「chud」という言葉が使用されています。この言葉は政治的に非常に敏感な用語であり、一般的には知られていないまたは使用されない言葉です。この用語はゲームの世界観に合致しないだけでなく、適切な翻訳とは言えません。プレイヤーとしての体験を損なうこのような翻訳の使用は避けるべきです。
People should send in complaints about the localization and the bad optimazition on switch. Doing that will make the sequel better and they wont work with that trans team again.
>using Chud in a game
holy frick whats wrong with theses Black folk why dont change the entire speech of s character into just Sneed
>chuds having a meltdown over this
kek, buying the game now. that localization is hilarious
I think most people don't even know what a chud is. Like most people don't know the movie it came from. Its like throwing the word troon in a medieval game or wojak or basedjak, sneed, sus ect

shut up and let us be angry over nothing
>chud's been a word akin to oaf and brute for literal decades
110% pure distilled bullshit.
Nah, frick off
Nice no context there, gay.

did you rush through it or do all the side stuff
Didn't rush but I found the mini games to be pretty trash

does magic ever get better?
when you get the mage focus rune and a character like momo who can reach 400 magic it's pretty good
1000+ damage with the crimson fire magic etc
Boomers plus kickstarter = shit. Boomers think le epic boomer name = good name when a good game success rely on the full team
People need to understand that just because a team made a good game decades ago doesn't mean they still have it. People who haven't made a game for a long time are going to be out of practice and won't be able to reproduce their past successes most of the time.
no witcher was bigger.
Im supriced they put this game is in a full cart with now downloads.
Only bad thing is that the switch version is broken and unplayable with all the crashes.
Man that shit they pulled near end of the game liberating all the 3 big cities in a cutscene
along with the emperor's kid rescue
What the frick? Did they run out of dev time?
The biggest game on the Shitch is a SNES looking jrpg?
My God! It might take a minute to download!
Does it live up to Suikoden's legacy? Seems kinda cheap visually imo
Nah that would be NBA 2k23
My neck hurt just by looking at these things.
>28 GB
Holy shit the Switch 2 would blow up trying to process that nevermind the Shitch
Why do people praise this console again?
I'm selling my switch copy on ebay if any troony lovers still want this abomination
https://www.ebay.com/itm/256488502397
PLEASE LEAVE A GOOD REVIEW SAARS, THE /misc/ BRIGADE IS KILLING THIS GAME
i'm surprised they haven't called it juden chronicle.
uhhhhhh sweaty, actions have consequences
That's exactly right.
If these developers want to allow these SJW grifters to help design their game then they need to be taught a lesson and made an example of.
You hit them where it hurts: in the wallet.
>The developers who worked so hard on this game don't deserve to be dragged into current political infighting
Yeah, the translators they hired shouldn't have done that. Guess they need to be careful who they work with in the future.
>the developers worked so hard on this! ç_ç
And they made a game that's inferior to its 25+ years old original WHICH THEY WORKED ON IN THE FIRST PLACE.
They could have made a rom hack of Suiko2 and it would have been a better product.
there's plenty of other switch games with bigger file sizes, most of them are multi platform like this one
examples
L.A Noire is 27.4 gb
Final Fantasy X/X-2 Remaster is 26.9gb
28 gigs of incel tears
is the game itself actually fun
game?
>2024
>games still dont have native ultrawide support
why are the japanese so incompetent
>Why does this Dux Aldric guy sound very familiar
>checks
>Same VA as Giliath Osborne on top of similar role
My sides
pretty sure its voice lines, every recruit-able character and character related to the story is voiced, recruited characters also sometimes say something related to the story which is honestly enjoyable, glad they are not just "I have better stats its why I'm here"

wasn't anything special, nothing close to as good as suikoden 2

like the anon in the previous thread I can't even be arsed to find and recruit all characters
How does one finish a game of 38 when feeling so underwhelmed while playing? I just stop playing, how do you do it anon
In hopes of it getting better because suikoden 2 is my favorite jrpg
also there's nothing else to play
Why do you care, just buy the cartridge
It's crazy how the game we got took them 3 years to develop
