I never had the pleasure to play this game back in the day.
It's a shame really.Considering this is one of the best RPG's i ever played.
Graphics:
It looks great for a Mid 90's RPG.What you would expect.
Not much i can really say here..
Music:
It has some very up-beat "happy go lucky" type of music.It's great when your exploring the countryside,visiting towns or during conversations with the A.I
One thing i don't like is how it keeps that same cheerful music as something terrible just happended..or your "home base"
(i don't want to spoil anything) Gets attacked etc.I found that pretty odd..
Story:
This is where Suikoden really shines.It's one of those game where you go so wrapped up in the story you can't put the controller down
You start off as the Son of one of the 5 great imperial Generals of the empire.After your father is sent north to defend the borders,you are basically branded a traitor to the empire
(For Reasons i wont spoil)
And you and your friends begin your epic quest.
You eventually become the leader of the Liberation Army.
You recruit soldiers,rebels,pirates,bandits,elves,dwarves,ninjas & everything you can immagine.Up to 108 Soliders can join your army.
Yep,that means 108 playable characters.It's one hell of an RPG.
There is also these epic battles where it's Your army vs imperial army and you choose the tactis and battle it out for control of territorys and castles etc.
The story is much more deep and in-depth then that but i really don't want to ruin anything,as the story is the best part of this game.
Gameplay:
It's what you would expect.Turn based combat with your party of 6 characters
You can use basic combat moves,rune's (magic) or Ranged attacks.
You can also defend & use potions,herbs etc.
It's great for what it is.
Bottom line:
This is seriously one of the best RPG's i ever played.
The story is sooo good.You never know who's going to betray you.Whats going to happen next.Who's going die..Where you're going to end up.
And just when you think the games over you get another 10-15 hours worth.Truly a great game.
One of the most beloved series of all time is Suikoden. So today we are going to talk about what my top 5 favorite Suikoden characters.
Wish they'd hurry with these remasters lol. I was hoping to knock them out before ec released.
You're telling me. I assume they will likely piggy back of EC hype. But we will have to wait and see.
The Suikoden series helped revolutionize the JRPG genre. So I decided to talk a little bit about the 27 True Runes of the Suikoden series.
With Tokyo Game Show 2019 happening this week, Sony launched this week its PlayStation Store's Big in Japan Sale.
thanks dude. I will file game in my must play before i die folder.
playing Suikoden 5 a couple of weeks ago on my PS2.Iwas verysurprised at how good it was.
I think its a pity some people are so obsessed with Final fantasy and dont give credit to less popular games like suikoden
Are you Token420 on Gamespot and on PSN?
i played suikoden 1 but i couldnt finish it because my cd was scratched and the farthest i could get to was when u had to getthe sword out of that stone to kill that invincible vampire.
i also played suikoden 3 and it was incredibly fun
i always think that suikoden series are better than ff.... except suiko 4 its the worst suiko ever....
