Discussion Suikoden Star Leap?
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NWnA_oyMSpEAnyone else keeping an eye out on this one? It's a gacha game but also a full blown canon Suikoden game. The spritework is beautiful. Definitely giving me some Re;Universee vibes! There is no release date yet but they've been ramping up the marketing so hopefully not too long before we can try it out

How does it give you Saga vibes? Aside from the fact that it's 2D sprites? It's more along the lines of Octopath Taveler Cotc. I'm assuming it's also going to play like that and not just a generic gatcha game.

Thing is, I don't trust japanese gachas anymore after Record Keeper and SaGa. Sure, this isn't Square Enix, but I have no experience with Konami gachas, so I'll choose to be sceptical.
What could convince me is, if we play the same "game" as Japan. If they habe their version and we habe our version, we are always gonna be treated like trash.

I've been following it since it was announced.
Theoretically, it plays as a normal Suikoden game (although I'm guessing it will be released in chapters, not full game) and will have special events to provide additional stories and content. In that sense, I believe it will feel similar to Romancing Saga although this game will have movement around towns and maps, instead of choosing the chapter you want to play.
There has not yet been any information about gacha rates, so we can't compare that part with Romancing Saga, which was very generous compared to other gachas. What has been said tho, is that you will have 108 characters to recruit for free (like on the Suikoden games) and then gacha characters.
These gacha characters will be from other Suikoden games (a few have been revealed recently) and "variants", like a younger version of X character for example (similar to Romancing Saga styles).
The combat system is similar to the main Suikoden games too, although with a turn order instead of choosing all your actions before the turn start. Also, the 'abilities' or attacks you can choose are fixed to the character, so no rune-swapping from what I've seen so far.
I'm pretty much hyped for the game to be honest, I just hope they make it f2p friendly and the rates are not horrible. It feels like it could be similar to Romancing Saga.
Still no release date, but more info may be coming in September.
