Unfortunately real life situations got the better of me so I can't play as much as I can for the time being but from around 3 hours of play time all I can say is:
An absolute masterpiece for a Suikoden fans that is completely and utterly ruined by awful localizers. You can argue that old Suikoden has a terrible translations as well but I can tolerate it for the lack of budget but this? This is inexcusable. I have just finished the first dungeon and the amount of character rewrite, terrible zoomer jokes, and context changes from the original Japanese script are malicious in intent. It's like the localizer has an agenda that is not tied with respecting the script of the original developer and wanting to get this fictitious audience.

*edit: yeah this is unplayable. I can't stand the downright fanfiction tier localization completely destroying the spiritual successor my most favorite IP of all time. Shame on you 505. Shame on you.
