Are they significantly better then Suikoden 3-5? I have 3 and 4, and Teikerias or whatever for the DS. Probably going to play Teikerias first as I still play my DS often where PS2/PS1 I have to be in the mood to start and finish 1 JRPG at a time.


Suikoden 2 is the best in the series. Suikoden, while it has obvious problems, links to Suikoden 2 in certain ways from characters to story points. To get the most enjoyable experience from Suiko 2 I'd advise you to play the original. You don't have to, but if you do you get a better feeling from Suiko 2.

Fantastic games.

One day I will, I have heard great things, even from friends who don't normally like/play JRPG's. However Suikoden 1 & 2 are expensive and rare to find cheap. I'll put them at the top of my priority list, and won't judge the franchise off 3, or 4.

I'm not 100% sure on this... But aren't they both on the US PSN store?

I know for sure that Suikoden is, not 100% sure on Suikoden 2 though...

To judge Suikoden on Suikoden 4 would be the biggest mistake anyone ever made 3 is a great game but 4 is widely regarded as the worst in the series.

Suikoden 2 also has some geat sprites. I'd say it's the best looking 2D game with sprites Shits on the 3D Final Fantasy games.

I like to own some sort of hard copy of the game. Doesn't matter if it's a PS1 copy, or a compilation disk, or a PSP game (I know Suikoden only comes on PS1), it's just more rewarding playing a game you have a hard copy of.

I know that feeling. Suikoden and Suikoden 2 are probably my most prized possesions

If you can understand Japanese, there was a PSP updated compilation released exclusively over there. If not, and the games are too much to buy, I'd even say that the games are worth pirating. Yep, I said it.

My prised posession is Mario Kart 64 in box, LOL.

One day I'll get it. Got a few copies of Radiant Historia to sell in a few years, worst case by then.

Realistically after I beat some other JRPG's....there are a lot of RPG's coming out this year. Mass Effect 3, XenoBlade, The Witcher 2 (for 360), Tales of Xillia, Tales of Graces f, Tales of the Abyss...and I still want to get Chrono Cross out of the way first.

 

Found a different store nearby, they sell games pretty cheap. They had Master Quest and Collectors Ed Zelda for Gamecube for $60 each a month ago (was in a hurry so I didn't get them), and those sell for $250 combined on ebay. I'll keep calling in, asking for copies of those Zeldas, Suikoden 1 & 2, and Skies of Arcadia...then my goal will be to go through my RPG's before I get anymore because I think I will have all the best ones for each system with Suikoden and Skies of Arcadia, up to SNES (not including).
