I’ve been playing Eiyuden Chronicle: Hundred Heroes, and the Suikoden vibe is completely there. I loved that game world, its mythos, the soft connections between the games. It contributed to the inspirational vibe, too.
What some of your JRPG worlds you really liked?
Yeah, if it was on console, I would’ve jumped in right away too, but I was having trouble finishing it on PC, so took a break. But then then announced Trails to Azure and from Zero ports, so I just started waiting for any Sky trilogy news. Though, I am losing hope in that, and may end up just playing it on Steam… or maybe even the PSP version.
As for a remaster, I would love it, but at this time, I would even take a straight port.
A Sky remaster/remake is likely a long way off. Falcom’s still a rather small company, and their recent expansion has gone into more development of existing properties (like Tokyo Xanadu). Trails has also had a decline in Japan, which doesn’t help.
They’ve licensed the property out to mobile devs and anime, so it’s possible they’ll do the same for another Sky project. Not something they’ve done in a long time, though.
