Still One of the Best 1
Review written 5-6-2006.Pros: Excellent music. Great characters. Castle developing along with your army is a great feature. Excellent story of war and betrayal. Three different battle systems party, duel, and army. All characters have unique weapons which are sharpened at a blacksmith instead of buying new equipment. 108 Characters, most can be used in your party.Cons: Harder to find and costs more than most older games, army Vs army battles are extremely easy, music lacks in dungeons, all good...

Great Nostalgia, Aged Moderately Well 0
Suikoden was one of the first RPGs that I played as a young gamer. Although I didn't know it back then, this game would end up pretty atypical of many RPGs of the time: Battles where playable characters can (and very often do) die, characters with a surprising amount of depth for such a massive cast, the ability to not kill major enemies, and more.

Suikoden was an average RPG at best. 0
I have some mixed feelings about Suikoden, I liked the battle system, it reminded me of Breath of Fire a little bit.

Otherwise, the battle system is very basic and very easy ...

That is what I know about that.You start by naming the young hero (his name is ...

It's pretty good 0
What the title said. It's a great introduction to a world and a series that focuses on local events versus "oh my god everything is going to die". So for that and the super fun times and somewhat stressful gameplay (I see you duels) I say 4 stars! 4 Stars for Suikoden because the only thing that matters is stars!...
