If you don't know Suikoden, it's the Pokémon-style collect-a-thon for geography geeks, history buffs, and political nerds. Instead of cramming a menagerie of beasties into cramped, non-PETA-approved spheres to battle some self-proclaimed "Gym Leader," though, you're raising 108 allies in an epic military conflict.
Oh, and just for the record, Suikoden preceded pocket-monster mania by a couple of years. The franchise is loosely based on The Water Margin, a classic Chinese novel that revolves around 108 ruffians rising up against corrupt rulers -- so the games are less about dealing with scheming world-destroyers and more about ousting sleazy politicians.
There’s no denying that the Nintendo DS was a very beefy little fella in its day. The handheld would even see a ton of epic, sprawling RPGs.
Whenever people talk about RPG series they would like to see make a comeback, Suikoden is often among the titles named. This Konami turn-based series is known for its massive character rosters, underdog stories where a newly form army challenges and triumphs against an established, opposing force and overarching storylines and concepts. It might be a little daunting, attempting to determine how to get into such a series. Well, [Michibiku is] here to help [readers] get into Suikoden!
It is one of the best JRPG's released in Ps1/Ps2 era and needs a revival or an HD collection. Super cheap when it's on sale, can play it on ps3, psvita. It has an amazing story and great gameplay.
The greatest 2D RPG series on the PS1. While Suikoden II has the best overall story, I'd put Suikoden V as second best in the series. Also for the love of all that is good and holy, skip Suikoden IV. Its almost unplayable. I'd rank the series as follows:
Suikoden II > Suikoden V > Suikoden > Suikoden III > Suikoden Tactics > Suikoden Tierkreis > eating a steaming pile of dog shit > Suikoden IV
A review of the GameStop preorder bonus soundtrack and artbook to Suikoden Tierkreis.
the pic is from the new suikoden game? because the red character on the right looks too similar to Zero from the Megaman Zero games...
anyway there are more games that interest me on handhelds than on the all console combine, too bad i hate smalls screens. ;-)
it's not similar... its the model ZX from megaman ZX
ad on the left you have model L from the same game...
