I have been playing Suikoden Series Since I’m a Child.
All Suikoden Games Are Great Games!!!
And I have learned a lot of experiences from it.
All the stories in Suikoden are comparable to Final Fantasy!

I haven’t played suikoden 4, I was having console non-active period for around 3/4 years then coming back to console early this year, I blame MMORPGs (RO/WoW) for that!

I’m waiting for PAL version of Odin Sphere, I’m playing oblivion in my ps3 now.. I like jRPG more tho ^^

Sure, let’s exchange links

I bought Suikoden V way back when, but still haven’t got around to playing it. ;-(

I played Suikoden I, III, and IV. I missed II and now it goes for $100+ on ebay. do’h! Have you played IV ron? It was awful imho. I’m glad to hear V seems to have made up for it.

I agree with you about FF12 as well. 50 some hours in, I had the game picture-in-picture, fighting battles while I watched T.V. ^^;

Can I add you to my blog list ron? Also, If you like action r.p.g.s you have to play Odin Sphere.

One of my Japanese friends told me that in FF12, only the adventure is fun and interesting, but the story is boring. One comment that hits the spot, I think.

I just added 2 figurines to the post.. somehow there aren’t many figurines for this game

@Aya: you should play suikoden if you like RPG ^^

I still haven’t finished my FF12 (which I started at January).. still at 50 hours time, got bored with the story line ><

My friend is an avid RPG fan, and he also agrees with Sin’s opinion about Suikoden 1, 2 and 5 being the good out of the series.

I havn’t played any of the Suikoden series, but seeing Lyon a few months back sparked a lil interest.

I had to admit that the tactician’s tactics reminds me of those of Zhuge Liang’s of the Three Kingdoms.
And I meant not plagiarism, but its brilliance.

I agree with ron. This is the best RPG for PS2 in terms of story. The graphics is awesome too, but still below FF level. I played this game twice last year. First time without collecting all the characters, just tried to get as many characters as I could without reading any walkthrough, and second time, I read walkthrough to get all the characters.

Based on my experience while playing Suikoden 2, which I think is the best RPG for PS in terms of story (again), It is not good if you try to find all the characters the first time you play it, because you might lose interest or get bored trying to find all of them and lose the momentum of the story. Plus, you might accidentally read some spoilers if you read walkthrough.

There has been 5 Suikodens until now, but unfortunately, only Suikoden 1,2 and 5 are great games. Suikoden 3 and 4 don’t live up to Suikoden’s name.

Being a fan to

1. many Chinese historical novels such as Three Kingdom, Yue Fei, Liang Hongyu — and of course: Water Margin (in no relation to Suikoden haha !).

2. RPG games (FF6,7)

This game seems quite appealing: I kinda want to pull my PS2. It’s collecting dust big time atm. Will try to fit in some time to give the game a shot.
