I actually went into the thread thinking there's no way anyone could agree on the greatest ten characters from the Suikoden games, picking from the several hundred characters that entails, but I think you did a really good job. I like how you picked characters who are great on their own but also represent major themes or conflicts in the story of the game(s) they belong to. I was getting a little choked up while I read through it, just thinking about all the shit they've been through/ put me through. You've also pretty much convinced me to play Suikoden IV, which I'm ashamed to admit as a Suikoden fan I've never gotten through. |
Suikoden IV is a tough one. I have struggled playing that one. I think I've only played through it twice, which for a suikoden game is pretty low for me. I have found a way to make the game actually really good... and it's cheating. I know, sounds lame, but when you are in a boat that moves about an inch in one hour because the random battles are turned on to overdrive then you can understand. Just get an action replay or codebreaker or something and turn off the random battles when you are in the boat. Makes the game a million times more enjoyable.
IV is a good game, but it is also bottom of the list, for me anyway. I would rank the suikoden games II, V, I, Tierkreis, III, IV.
