So, Suikoden 3 is great. It does not play quite like the first two - IIRC you can have only four characters in your party at a time, and combat is slower. The area the game takes place isn't super interesting right from the start, and there's a village of duckmen. Also, the beginning has a sorta lame Rashomon style "see the same scene from three perspectives" situation. And some of the few returning characters look nothing like they used to.
BUT...keep playing. Explore what you can, kill the optional bosses, and I hope it grows on you as much as it did me. (It was the last Suiko game I enjoyed; 4 was awful, and the Tactics game just didn't grab me.) The manga is pretty good too, if you're interested!
