In an update on Steam its developers first acknowledged that work is ongoing on fixing various savegame and crash bugs that the playerbase have reported. They’re also going to add Japanese language support “probably next week on PC”, although “further languages are not planned at this moment” due to the cost of translating its 200,000-word script. In terms of future content plans, “Matthias is currently working on NG+ and some smaller Quality of Life improvements,” says the post. “Anything else, may it be a DLC or a Sequel… honestly, we haven’t really thought about that just yet. Once we’re finished with patching the critical issues you’ve found, we’ll sit together and discuss possible options.” Katharine was impressed with Chained Echoes when she dove into it pre-release last month. She was particularly taken with its combat system, where you’re choosing attacks partly to control an “Overdrive bar” that can either supercharge your attacks or leave your party vulnerable. High praise from Katharine, who knows her way around the best JRPGs
