The thing about Suikoden is that stories are always better than most RPGs because they avoid a lot of cliches of the genre (namely, in Suikoden you never have to save the world because it limits itself to wars inside a country, or between neighbouring countries, there's no villain that wants to destroy the world, etc.). Besides, most of times they have excellent stories. And the fact that you can recruit 108 characters and have your base and see it grow makes it the more awesome.
Of course, this is basing myself on the previous Suikodens, I dunno how different this one will be, because it seems to be changing a lot of the traditional staples of the series (for example, it's not using a 6-char party anymore). But I can confirm the 108 recruitable characters, at least
Pixel Art can be fun.
