Easily the worst RPG I have ever played.
I excitedly picked up a used copy of this game when I saw one in. I had been afraid to buy it new after mixed reviews. Sadly, the negative reviews were more than true. This game has the worst voice acting I have ever heard in any game. It sounds like a bad fan sub for a lame anime series. If that wasn't enough, this game neglects everything that makes a Suikoden game a Suikoden game. There are no 108 stars of destiny (in the normal sense). Instead I revive spirits into items. Also there is no army battles or fortress. This game is simply a horrid RPG and I feel sorry for the Suikoden name.
