| BengaBenga said: I personally like Suikoden II and III the most, but if you have them all I'd start at I. I haven't played Tactics, but in general people are not very enthousiastic about it. Cool thing about Suikoden is that you build a base and just like Fire Emblem there are loads of characters to find. It's a little more RPG than FE. Two archers in the endgame might indeed be a bit too much, although I found it no problem to level them. Rolf was my main archer and he was insane, he killed a dragon in one turn and he could kill every boss in one turn (except the last one of course). I used Shinnon in the Oliver level and I used him and Rolf to block the pathway up, where all these reinforcements come. I had Shinnon, who was a bit neglected due to my Rolf-love, from 12 to 17 in that battle alone. |
Im a big RPG fan so the fact that Suikoden is more RPG than FE isnt a concern for me. Ill talk to my friend a bit and see if I can grab them from him. I need to get my Game room set up first though because at the moment I only have access to my Wii and DS.
As for Archers Shinnon is king in my opinion. His defense is insane. When I played through in Hard Mode he has the same Defense stats as Ike. He could go out on his own and take 2-3 hits depending on what attacked him. That includes the level filled with dragons in the endgame. He was my Number one ranked player during the credits for my Hard Mode playthrough. Just equipped him with Aether and Renewal and I never even had to worry about healing him. Also if he has a bow with a range of 3 you never have to worry about equipping him with Nihil for the endgame parts because the bosses cant retaliate.
