Bad localization + buggy release
You've probably heard about the localization by now. Fans discovered that the localization was done by a company that practices DEI (similar to Sweet Baby Inc). Personally, I don't care about "woke" dialogue, but in this case the practices of the localizers have completely changed parts of the script to the point where it is almost completely different compared to the original Japanese script. It's disrespectful. The terrible dub doesn't help matters either.
There's a part where they literally question the gender identity of a boss they just defeated. Want to take a guess if that was part of the original script?
Beyond that, the bigger issues are the sheer amount of bugs the game launched with. The biggest being the encounter rate bug. The encounter rate is tied to your MONITORS REFRESH RATE, so if you're on a standard 144hz monitor or higher like most PC gamers, you will get almost no random encounters. There is a bug preventing recruitment of a certain character which can lock you out of the true ending. There are many more, but these are just the standouts. There are over 200 more bugs on the discord servers bug tracker.
There is so much this game does right and it really does feel like a true successor to Suikoden, but it was NOT ready to launch in this state. The fact that the encounter rate bug has been known since the backer beta and hasn't been fixed is just insane. PC users shouldn't be forced to hard cap their monitors refresh rate just to get the game to work right. What was the point of the backer beta if they just weren't going to fix all the issues that were discovered with it?
I'd still likely recommend this even with the terrible localization, but the game just isn't ready to play right now. Too many bugs, some of them potentially game breaking, and no ETA on when the most severe of these bugs are supposed to be fixed.
