    Sure, it's a rather ho-hum RPG, but it's a well-written adventure that isn't named Final Fantasy for once. The dungeons are drab, but I still like how the characters develop. I also hear that the sequel is awesome.

    I KNEW, I AM NOT CRAZY!!!
    Whenever I got to the worldmap, it reminded me to an old german tv-show.
    Now please compare those songs! AM I RIGHT? XD

    Suikoden is, at its core, a traditional JRPG, but one that has cast aside all the fluff, characteristic for the genre. From the very start it grabs your attention and throughout its adventure it keeps you at the edge of your seat.
    Pros: A good story full of twists, main characters are endearing, surprisingly solid translation and writing, great music, fast combat, most of the traditional RPG goodness, building your army (and castle) is strangely rewarding, gives you choices (although the ones that would alter the story are not really eligible for you to take), mixes things up with varied gameplay sections, bittersweet ending, virtually no grinding
    Cons: Recruiting people is extremely easy and most of them lack a fleshed out story, loads of backtracking, slow movement, traversing the world map is slow and boring, dungeon floors are often recycled within the same dungeon, visuals are ho-hum, gameplay is simple throughout, item management is a chore, typos (especially near the end)

      Editing … Nice review, the second title corrects most of the bad points of the first. I hope you'll try it someday soon. :) Or...you already did?

      Editing … Not yet! I watched my bro play it when I was a kid, but I'll play it for myself soon enough. Say, in 2 months or so. A short break from Suikoden will first take place. ^^

    If someday you have the occasion to play this game, please give me your opinion and rank you favorite characters. I prefered Suikoden II, but this is the first. You can start the series with both. :)

    I really loved this game! I loved the storyline, the castle, the characters, and also the gambling mini-games! The story is a bit short though, and I was frustrated by the last castle "extension". This is by far the best inovative JRPG. Now, let's begin Suikoden II for the second time! :3

    Great game! Though my favorite is #Suikoden II, the first is also epic. There are a lot of good characters (the best one is #Gremio!) and good storylines. The premises of the saga. I highly recommend.
