Before I buy this game I read many revievs that this game isn't good. The average score in many places was 7. I didn't know that buy it or not? But I buy it and I'm really surprise!This is orginal idea that first time in Suikoden series action is by the sea. Action begins at ship battle. In game we find many of that strategic battles. It have good system but each of seas battles is very easy and we hadn't any problems to pass them. It's no good. The story-line is interesting and very good. The graphic is very good, Konami was did many faces for NPC's. I look for each other faces and sometimes somebody have the same but seldom. Each of peoples look very good. Terrain how jungle looks incredible and I like it that each of cities have own architecture. Music is not so good how in maybe FF but sympatic and not disturbing in play. What I like in each Suikoden is an artistic portrait for each important character in game. This man who paint it is great! For me often battles is good because there are fast. Battle system is great we have attack, combo( to do it special characters must be. for example Snowe and hero), Rune(magic I'm little sorry that only five Runes), Retreat, Potch(bribe enemy), Guard and Rush this is new option very extra damage by Hero but it's avalible only upon awerage 10 battles. Battles is not vey easy but not hard it's medium level. Naval battles sometimes may can be problematic because we must hear what enemy says for example I will kill you meaning that enemy use special or Do your best -guard. Story-line isn't take a long time 35 hours but how in JRPG we have many thing to do how join 108 stars of destiny play many extra mini games how dice, fishing, mahjong and more, explore lands by our ship(it's little boring to swim across the sea by ship) and find a treasure and get armors set. With this all elements it takes you 60 hours. I'm was very happy to play it and I say buy it when you like good RPG games!
Suikoden IV seemed plagued with problems from the get-go. Previews of the game panned it for losing that magical quality that made the series as a whole such a memorable experience. Released features such as the reductio... Read Full Review
This game could have been much more than it ended up being. The mechanics were bad enough to shoo away casual RPG fans, and the severe departure from the Suikoden franchise alienated Suikoden fans. In every Suikoden ... Read Full Review
