"why did no one tell me Eiyuden Chronicles: Rising releases tomorrow?!" "the devs did, repeatedly, via emails." Maybe I should actually read my emails more often. This is a delightful surprise.
although come to think of it, I'm getting it on steam and games tend to not unlock until six in the evening and I'll need to download it first, so I probably shouldn't look forward to playing it tomorrow after all
It did come out on steam at six in the evening as expected, but I've played it for a couple hours now and am predictably charmed, even though I'm still just running errands for these villagers. The first one was a traditional "bring back someone's lost cat" quest and the cat was very fluffy, so I'm happy.
