So i just don't like the way this suikoden handles combat. dualing up your combatants, seems like a wasted effort, and almost seemed to trivialize a single combatants importance. I've played systems i disliked more, but... suikoden 3 just didn't entice me to continue playing.

That said, what i did see in my short tenure with the game was gorgeous, well designed, and if anything kind of complicated. Now I'm no RPG n00b, and i knew suikoden 3 was old-school going into it; however as gorgeous as it was i felt like i was spending way more time in menus than i ever had in any other rpg. It's not a bad thing, persay- just not my speed is all.

It was brilliantly designed, and produced. And worth every penny, if their kind of gameplay is up your alley.
