You may be able to look past its faults, but I can't. Some of them are just too glaring for me to even think of it as a Suikoden game. It was decent enough for me to put the time to play through it once, but it really doesn't compare to the quality of the other games in the series at all (unless you want to include Tactics, but even then I vastly prefer Tactics over IV and that may just be because I'm a bigger fan of SRPGs on the whole).
The main character is cooler than Thomas, though.
But then again, I think everybody is cooler than Thomas. Especially those squirrels.
