All suikodens in the main series are tide together, character re appear and story continues. You should play it.

I have a question for you. So I went out and bought Suikoden 1, 3-5, Tactics and the DS one. I didn't buy 2 (yet) because it's expensive, and I want to beat 1 first to make sure I like it enough to spend $100 or so.

So my question is, how do you advise tackling this series? Is it best played by release order (1-5, then the spin offs), or is there a better order to play? Would it be a big deal if I loved 1 and skipped 2? What if I played the DS installment first?

Yeah play them in order, The DS version has nothing to do with the main series, Suikoden 1 is good but its leagues behind 2. If you don't end up liking them you can sell them all to me if you want ^^ But yeh it wouldnt be that big of a deal if you played them in any order, its just that there is a lot of lore and wars that will make alot more sense if you did though. But make sure you play 1 before 2 because 2 makes references to 1 :P
