Maybe I'm being naïve but I thought it looks quite good. They're definitely putting a bit of money behind it. Doesn't look like a Breath of Fire VI situation to me. God knows though, I'll wait and see. Hopefully the main game is good and it gets a non monetised port to consoles after awhile.
There's a lot of "spin-off of beloved IP" mobile games that look really good, and besides the gacha aspects some even are pretty good. Problem is the predatory nature of gacha: people not susceptible to it dislike it for ethical reasons, ppl susceptible dislike it for that and cause it ruins them
I never play these type of mobile games so I'm not super clued in on them. I do have a friend who does play FGO though, she doesn't spend any money and really enjoys it. I do agree with you 100% though, I don't like gacha mechanics in principle. I'll just be optimistically skeptical about Star Leap
In fairness it looks a lot more consistent to the Suikoden 1+2 HD versions than BOF6 did with it's series. At least in term of the gameplay and graphics Who knows maybe it'll be great, he said optimistically 😅
I'm not terribly confident but I'll pray to Lady Leknaat that it's a banger.
They must be feeling positive about the 1&2 remasters that are hitting in a couple of days and presumably saw good signs out of Eiyuden. True Runes willing and the creek don't rise we'll see the series back in earnest!
Yeah, they tried to soften the blow by going "the main cast will be free but the older characters would be gacha" and I don't expect much at all. I just hope that they don't hinge the "future steps" they mentioned on the success of the gacha where they just kill off Suikoden if this flops.

But at the same time, this is the modern play. "Let's test the future of this franchise with these two releases".
And there's a few gacha out there that aren't COMPLETELY predatory. And decently fun for a while. That's all I'm hoping for.
