While Eiyuden Chronicle: Hundred Heroes is clearly riding the name recognition of Suikoden for a spiritual successor to the JRPG franchise, the game is bringing something new to the table and evolving the original concept, all while promising a return to a style of RPG that’s become far less common as the years have gone by. Looking back at the most successful projects of recent years like Bloodstained: Ritual of the Night and Mighty Number 9, regardless of the quality of the final product their funding success is the result of catering to the demands of fans who are starved for the return of their favorite gaming icons from yesteryear. Unsurprisingly, Eiyuden Chronicle: Hundred Heroes met its $500,000 Kickstarter target mere hours after the project’s launch.Īs much as Kickstarter is ideally designed to be a place to bring funding to original ideas from smaller developers, it has proven itself mostly to be a platform for weapon using nostalgia and fan demand in order to turn a dream revival into a reality. Then, all of a sudden, some of the biggest minds behind the original games in Yoshitaka Murayama and Junko Kawano begin teasing an exciting announcement, one which turned out to be a Kickstarter project raising money for a spiritual successor to the beloved classic. Fans have clamored and banged at Konami’s door for a sequel to the JRPG classic for years, but it was easy to give up hope after so long without a new game. Konami may have forgotten about Suikoden, but fans sure haven’t.
