  • I agree that Suikoden 2 has the best plot in the series, even if you hated 3 and 4 you should still play 5. I felt 5 was the 2nd best in the series despite the fact that I couldn't force myself to pay all the way through 3 and 4. 4 wasn't terrible it just wasn't very good, 3 on the other had was pretty terrible. I think 5 though puts more of an emphasis on plot and character like the first 2 and in addition to that has great cutscenes.

  • Watch the intro, press Start then choose a name and pick game setting. ~ 15mins later still no action. Got bored then try to press Start to skip the story telling blah blah blah, but nothing happen Huh? press start again and Huh???????. It is a good game, but plz implement something to skip the story telling parts.

  • Georg Prime and Killey were both so awsome in this game!

    Makes me wanna play it again :)

  • I love the whole suikoden serie (got a DS just for tierkreis and its the one i liked the less). I have been praying for a 6th game for years but i seriously doubt there will ever be one now ...

    Richard isThe fucking man! georg is getting too old he wont get stronger (as seen in II) Idk how you can even think that the V is boring, unless you only played to the first 10 hours. Story is amazing and characters are cool, very little of random characters in the 108 stars unlike previous suiko

  • This music really isn't doing it for me. Greatly prefer the opening themes of 2, 3, and 4. What's with the guitar half way through?

  • i have been a die hard fan of suikoden since day one and i really hope that they make a part 6

  • I like the opening to Suikoden 2, it just felt like they put more effort into it. Dont get me wrong I love this whole series specifically 2>5>1>3>4

    I know this will spur hatred but thats the joy of this series. It doesnt matter which game you like, they all carry within the same universe unlike some series...*cough* Final Fantasy*cough*

  • Suikoden 5 is a tribute to the masterpiece that Suikoden 2 was and judging by the fact we have not seen info on Suikoden 6 since years... i guess, unfortunately, its the finale tribute...

  • I feel so sad that I`ve never played the whole series :(

    Is there any way for me to at least read the whole story?

  • I haven't played this one yet so I can't compare the games but the suikoden II opening is way better than this one and since II is one of my favorite games of all time, I have doubts that this will top it but I am not saying it won't...

  • My only grief is that; how come isn't Boz a freakin' playable character??

  • @RayCrovax Gawd... I know the feeling.

  • yeah! 5 was good , but 2 is really awesome!!

  • I just uploaded a higher quality video for this intro : youtube.com/watch?v=gmBhmLE2rY­c

  • One of the best JRPG on the ps2. Suikoden 5 was awesome. I played like 15 hours non stop. Afher 60 hours a beat the game....I LOVE THIS GAME!!!!

  • i miss this game...

  • Wish they put kasumi in there. But then again theres always Miaki's

  • 2 me i think like suikoden 5 then 2 then 3 then 1 then 4. suikoden 4 would be higher but the damn ship is too freaking slow especially wen u get ted o yea and ted is beast to bad he dies

  • Based on story line Suiko 2 > 5 > 1 > 4 > 3

    suiko 3 has a good gameplay but the storyline is just disappointing. an opposite of that is 4 which has a good storyline but the gameplay is BAD. Suiko 1 nice gameplay and nice storyline(Great moment is when Ted ***). Suiko 5 is like going back at suiko 2 in terms of gameplay but the story Great tear jerking moments just like in 2 specially when Lyon(was *** hehehe). Suiko 2 weeelllll gameplay is good compare to 4 but the storyline was so AWWEESSOME!

  • @yangabernard1 mmmm I thought the story line was a 5->1 ->2 -> 4 -> 3? Eh.... ah well.

  • Comment removed

  • I was honestly surprised by this game. I thought it would be terrible because 4 wasnt great, but it was pretty awesome. I also think it was pretty risky to tear away from the Silverbergs (its kinda their thing), but Lucretia was not my least fave tactician. I rly hated Apple in case you were wondering.

  • you are all wrong.. suikoden II made it all... in fact suikoden II has higher scores than the ones that came after it... even though some dumb jack asses compare degrade suikoden II b'coz of its graphics... PLEASE LEARN PEOPLE ITS NOT ABOUT THE GRAPHICS ITS ABOUT THE STORY.. AND suikoden II has the most heart touching story ever in the suikoden series... whoohh enough said..

  • @itoumakoto1980 calm down

  • @itoumakoto1980 yeah I agree man.. suikoden II is still the best.... it's the rune of the beginning man... cmon.. its the best.!!! XD

    the story is really cool it almost made me cry .. T_T ... I was hoping that they would still continue the journey in suikoden III,..turns out they didn't .. what a **** peace. :D

  • @indighost15 haha rune of beginning, man how nostalgic, dude I've played suikoden 1 on ps3 and I tell you it's good too, many parts on suiko 1 tugged at my heart string haha But IMO suiko 2 is still better. So many heart aching moments, and yeah I wished they would somewhat continue their journey, or make an anime out of it. Dude if they made and anime about tales of the abyss (another good game on ps2) Then they should make one about suiko 2, problem is they didn't T.T you watched the good end?

  • @itoumakoto1980 Not only was Suikoden II an amazing game but I actually like the graphics in II better than III. Three's graphics are a bit too...I dunno...happy and care free. It feels like I'm playing Radiata Stories (which was indeed happy and carefree) rather than a highly political, deep game.

  • @LucidDreamz613 yeah, II was hell of a deep game, in fact it gives you a heavy feeling while playing it. provided with the awesome musical scores is what makes it a perfect game.

  • @itoumakoto1980 The creators have the series have amazing story telling ability. In V, for example, despite there being so many characters, I feel like most of the characters have memorable personalities. The only other games I can think of with Suikoden's ability to make characters truly come alive are Super Mario RPG (which has a bit of an advantage due to history), the Xenosaga's, Dragon Quest VIII and Radiata Stories. Even the best of games don't have this level of character depth.

  • @LucidDreamz613 yeah but it pretty much deteriorated over the time.

  • @itoumakoto1980 Haha xD I played Suikoden 2 to death until now.

    Its too addicting. GO LUC!

  • @Reinko96 LUC the magic user right? HAHAHA

  • @itoumakoto1980 YESH! MWHAHA!

    :D

  • @Reinko96 ahh man, they should put that on psn, on psp or ps3!! They already put suikoden I on psn so what's the hold up? there's no point in suiko I when you can't load your data on suiko II!!!

  • Konami we want Suikoden 6!!!!

  • My favorite history is the 3rd Suikodens. :3

  • ahh this takes me back

  • suiko 2 and 5 are the best!!!! suiko 4 sucks!

  • I hate when fans have to compare Final Fantasy Series to this. Just enjoy the game. Why compare to other games anyways?

    If your going to compare, go back to Livejournal.

  • now I really can't wait for suiko 6

    if my memory didn't fail me,,,in suiko 3 last battle event, all the available Runes including the True ones were destroyed, and Yuber vanished,,,and what about Pesmerga chasing him down in suiko 2 but not in 3?

    why Tierkreis didn't use Runes but Star mark instead? (aside of that being in another world) is Tierkreis's come after the 3rd?

    what is the role of Viki?

    I hope 6th would answer this and not a "some year before" story

  • I gotta admit, I didn't give this game a fair chance. Played it for maybe 20 minutes before switching to something else. I played Suikoden 1-4 though and loved them all. I think its about time I gave this game a fair chance.

  • Have anyone notice that in begining (0:06-0:11) there is a lot of 108 stars? I have noticed Dinn, Dr Silva, Oboro's agency, Moroon, Josephine, Mueller, Jeane etc.

  • This was probably my least favorite of the entire series and I still loved the game. Says a lot for the series =)

  • They should ask Miki Higashino to make the soundtrack again like the one in S1 and S2. They should even ask the S1 and S2 director to write the story for the next Suikoden again so it'll stop to disappoint. But that is only my opinion.

  • really miss this gameeee :'(

  • I like both the Suikoden series and the Final Fantasy series. I can't compare them as a whole because I've only played a few FFs, but FFX was one of the best games ever on it's own. The Suikoden series is my favorite though. I like that Suikoden is a consistent world and how involving the politics, and rune struggles are.

    I actually loved a lot of the innovations in both 3 and 4, especially the trinity sight system in 3. The mini-games in 4 were fun, but it was by far the weakest game.

  • I played this Game 3 times in a row.. and I dont do that... haha

  • Just can't beat the classic anime style from Suikoden 3

  • @RunaroundStar and also can't beat that you name your MC to be an NPC!!!!

    And god I even look for gamefaqs if I can play the Flame Champion

    And Even Expecting that Ryou(Suiko 2 MC) Nanami and Jowy to appear but it looks like I been TROLLED by suiko 3

  • 2:02 - WOAH SUIKODEN II REFERENCE

  • @Tsuppi er I meant 1:59

  • I hope they make a new console game

  • I don't know if anybody agrees with me on this but I feel that Suikoden has the better Intro vid then practically all the role playing game made so far.

  • Suikoden is amazing. But if you only play one or two Suikoden i can see where you come from. Suikoden is not the greatest individual games, but as a series, it's the best of all.

  • Suikoden is amazing. But if you only play one or two Suikoden i can see where you come from. Suikoden is not the greatest individual games, but as a series, it's the best of all.

  • ahhh i want to play it again! i have it in my room but im currently playing 3 and i dont want to stop 3 cause i havnt finished it yet....ARHGGGhhhhhh

  • Ooh! Rune of Beginning Soul Eater Bright Shield Black Sword True Fire, Water, Lightning Runes Rune of Punishment Shield Rune True Earth Rune Rune of the Gate And other normal runes. All shown in one scene! Such fanservice, I love it.
  • this game was so dissapointing

  • Despite the game's terrible quality (must have been low budget) it was the 2nd most enjoyable in the series for me. 1st one is obviously Suikoden 2.

  • For me, I, II an V are just excellent games, way too good. IV was good, had good story, good moments and everything actually, but I didn't get to like it as much as the ones mentioned before. (just personal taste, I suppose). III was not that bad, but kinda forgot about the originality of I and II, luckily, they noticed their mistake on doing those changes, and for Suikoden IV, the usual system was back.

  • I love this Suikoden. I don't know if I would go far enough to put it over Suikoden II, but they are definitely close (This one has Gizel, but lacks of Luca Blight). The story is great. It has one of my most memorable moments in videogames (to evade spoilers, lets say when the Prince's life changes COMPLETELY), great OST, great characters and the classical suikoden gameplay.

  • You know when i first played suikoden 1 i love it and when i played i loved it even more then came 3 and i loved it to and 4 well people talked crap about 4 but 4 had a great story and great people and grafic and even sound the only downside to 4 was every 3 steps was a battle and there wasnt anuf to explore

  • Two was the best one by far imo, along with the first. I wish developers would stop thinking 3d is always the best choice. STICK WITH THE 2d DAMN IT! The game loses its feel, to me anyways, when you toss it into 3d.

  • @Metafron have you considerd agarest records of war or cross edge? its 2d graphics very modern rpg on ps3 they are very fun but way to long

  • @yaku3 Yea i've seen Cross Edge but that would mean i would have to buy a ps3. At the moment that's not possible. LoL.

  • Really? There will be a 6 chapter?

  • i love this game now I m waiting 4 part 6.

  • Quick question. Do I have to play the previous Suikoden games to get the story, or is it more like the Tales series, where characters make cameo appearances, but the story is standalone?

  • @toalover32

    You do not have to play the previous games to understand the story. However, all the games take place within the same world but at different historical moments. Depending on which game you play, you might find references to previous plots, but nothing major.

  • @toalover32 Each Suikoden takes place in the same world but at different times. Suikoden 1 and 2 are the only ones that kind of take place after one another. In fact, you can take your data from 1 when you play 2, the main character appears in 2, and you can use him. Trust me, having McDohl from 1 is worth it.

  • this was my favourite game of all time!! I missplaying it so much!! the characters and story line is so awesome!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!­!!!!!!!!!!

  • The intro shows that the prince is fighting Lyon....but in the game play that event never came to be.....wonder why though....if you look carefully the Queen`s and Ferid`s bodies are transparent you can see the background right through them...,so that means Frey is dueling Lyon after his parents are dead and after liberate the Sun Palace...but in the game after you liberate the Sun Palace...,the event never came...gotta really wonder why the event never take place though.....some directors......

  • maybe they are just sparring.

  • Sparring.....?.....thats too brutal and too serious to be a sparring scene....if it is then why are Arshtat and Ferid paid Frey and Lyon a visit......?.....If I`m dead I wouldn`t show up in front of my son just because I want to see them sparring together.....coz that will be stupid and a waste of time by coming back to Frey in my spirit form....so it`s not logical....so like I said...,some directors.......

  • It probably seemed perectly logical at the time...

  • I think they are just practicing

  • I still don`t think they are just practicing....coz the look on those two faces is far to serious......and as I said before if I`m dead I wouldn`t even bother to come back in spirit form just to see my son and Lyon practice....all I can figure out was Arshtat and Ferid comes back from the dead to tell Frey and Lyon that they had to battle it out for the right of holding both of the true runes.......thats what I figured anyway........so again..,some directors.......

  • I dont think that the clips are in chronological order from what i think this was before she died and they are just practicing u can see in their face that they are not mad but i dont know maybe ur right

  • Try and look at Arstat carefully..,and you`ll see that she`s comepletely transparent.....and you can really see the wall behind her..,especially Ferid.....

  • dont know ur probly right, by the way do u have any info on suikoden 6

  • Helloooo!morning!tee-hee!befor­e anything I`m Keeve`s big sis!nice to meet ya!Yup uv guess it alright I`m using his username ha-ha!and he`s not THAT hard to read if ur wondering how I know his password.He maybe can keep most secrets from me BUT not this 1!Nope!I`ve read ur conversation with my baby bro--oh! and if ur wondering I`ll be replacing him for a while coz he`s--well--having a fever!but don`t tell him that I`m the 1 whos mak--ooops!!SERIOUSLY!DON`T!!K­ay!---

  • --Hmm!The answer to ur Q is Suikoden 6 will be out this year I donno when though.But the worst thing is they r not going release it for the ps2 platform!ONLY for the so called X-Box and somethin` called the Wii platform.I`m sure ur wondering ``WHAAAAAAAT!!!??Why the hell didn`t they make it for the ps2 platform also!!??``Why oh why Kono--I mean Konami wouldn`t make it for the ps2!?Well thats all!I`m gonna use my baby bro`s user and comment on other vids!Which vids!?Tee-Hee!!heres a hint!K-a-m-e-

  • i miss this game :(

  • I think if they remake suikoden 2 into modern graphic and some new story lines and new places, more side quest. I think it will make decent amount of money. still lots of suikoden 2 fans out there.

  • I agree..still can`t get enough of Suikoden II....huh...?.......oh before I forget...can anyone tell me how DO you do a soft reset to get back to the Title Screen....coz in Suikoden 1,2,3,4 n Tactics u just press the R1,L1,R2,L2,Reset n Start button.....but in 5 nothing happen....I`ve already tried every possible button combo....n I still can`t get to the Title Screen....can anyone help me out here coz theres some mistake I made when I`m trying to recruit n need to reset but I can`t...S.O.S.....

  • Plus...out of all the PS2 graphics of Suikoden 3,4,Tactics n 5...in my view...Suikoden 3 has the best PS2 gaming graphics....

  • Suikoden 3 had the best intro by far

  • LOVE LOVE LOVE IT SOOOOOOOOOO MUCH!!!! T____T

    thank you konami for making this wonderful game

  • intro of suikoden 2 similar when it was showing all the heros

  • when it gets to 1:00 Thats some part of suikoden 2 music.

  • really? which song?

  • at 1.00 it starts to get epic^^

    loved this song and the game^^ but 1+2 were still best :)

  • Why is it that even though that I really liked Suikoden 5, I still LOOOVVVEEE Suikoden 2....

    Hmm I guess Suikoden 2 is just really awesome :D

  • I have to say that the music in this opening sucked compared to suikoden 4.

  • yeah the opening theme in S4 sounded a tad better for my taste but it ultimately comes down to your taste...this is more cheerful and happy sounding whereas in S4 it sounds dark and eerie, more fitting for a game that bases its roots on warfare and bloodshed but i like S5's theme as well and the reason why its the way it sounds is because of the seemingly peaceful and enchanting atmosphere it has about it.

  • This is my favorite of the series. To be honest.

    It feels like Suikoden II almost, except everything is polished and perfect. I love Suikoden II almost as much.

    I'm a big nostalgia guy, I loved the first games. But this one just nails it.

    I hope and pray for a 6th game.

    Also Georg Prime is the fucking man.

  • Duuuuuude!!! I couldn't agree more! Me and my cousin said the same thing about it being very very similar to 2. It's kinda hard for me to say between 2 and 5 which is the best though. Two was the first of the series I played though so it's kinda my first love but I'm sorta split between them both. I'm sorry but the series as a whole is the best rpg series I've ever played. Come on 6 please come out!

  • I heard that VI is in development but that was almost 3 years ago, although I don't know if it still is. But the site I read on said this "Konami's Suikoden producer Takahiro Sakiyama mentioned that the development of Suikoden VI has already began, the game may have references to a previous Suikoden game." don't know if it's true or not since such a long time has passed.

    But I agree, Georg Prime is the fucking man. If there is a 6th installment, I hope he will be in it.

  • @2ndIgnition georg prime is a beast of a character... i also love that depending on who you had in your party.. you could have different combos.. it was awesome and kept the combat aspect of the game really entertaining

  • @2ndIgnition

    I agree with you

  • @2ndIgnition

    Georg Prime is actually the cousin of Chuck Norris, the more you know. :D

  • @2ndIgnition Yes 5 was so great. But 2 is the best!

  • @2ndIgnition Can't disagree more. Genso Suikoden II has a unique soul, and is polished and perfect. Genso Suikoden V is boring, and the anime animations... Ughhh.

  • @2ndIgnition

    I hope there is a 6th game as well there is so much more of the suikoden world to be explored examples including harmonia, the western continent of which nothing is know about, more of the southern continent and there are also events that can be explored such as hamonia's hero war, the succession war which is where barabrossa became emperor of the scarlet moon empire, the formation of the scarlet moon empire and many other things that can be explored could keep the series going

  • @Jbessette no this is interesting :) there are also other countries like nagarea , armes , the isle land or also the countries from where belcoot , richard and lorelai come from and finally the answers to the questions where the sindar people went and who are the chiefs of nether gate it would be epic

  • @kakerukun1 I totally forgot about those

  • I love Suikoden

    and ( 5 ) is the best in ps2 RPG games,

    thank you .

  • Other than a little slow start the game certainly does take off. It also brings the traditional feeling of Suikoden 1 and 2 for those with nostalgia..while bringing in new elements to keep you hooked.

  • now if only suikoden series has a pair-up ending system (like Fire Emblem 7,8), I will officially nominate it for the best RPG series ever.

  • Suikoden Series > Final Fantasy Series

  • Suikoden I/II is certainly comparably, 4 not so much. Havn't finished 3 or played 5 so I can't judge that.

  • @wcl82783 Um, hell no. Suikoden blows. And I've played both games. Suikoden just doesn't have enough to keep the player playing it. Not to mention the getting all the characters even though its useless to thing.

  • @HolyDeity What do you mean both games? 4 and 5? That is not a good representation of Suikoden.

    Suikoden is the best RPG series, but individual games are not all so great. But when you put them altogether as a full set, thats when they really shine. 2 is the best one.

  • @wcl82783 You're comparing apples and oranges. All of the Suikoden games revolve around the same world, characters and history. Every Final Fantasy game, excluding FFX-2 and FFIX (in terms of references to previous games) has a different flavour, different story, different characters etc. Not only that, but Suikoden is based on Chinese legend, whereas FF is entirely fictional and fantasy. My point is, they are two completely different series.

  • @wcl82783 Not in a million years

  • KYLE most-likely know as the remake or similar to FLIK.

  • i dont think Flik would made much of a womanizer so no.....

  • For me i think it goes like this 2 1 3 5 4

    the best one is at the first on my counting hehe ^_^

  • i like this game..

    this is my favorite..

    i like prince freyjadour,

    princess lymsleia,

    lady sialeeds,

    lady lyon

    &

    rahal

  • I agree 100% with aphotic08 ! This game is the best RPG on PS2.... :D

  • Suikoden V could be described as the best RPG game in history of RPG gaming. I mean, what game sets you on an adventure to gather strong alliances from foreign places to fight the enemies? It kind of ressembles world war. If I had to rate Suikoden V, I'd give it an 11/10 XD

  • ah... its a fantastic game indeed but... you kiddos nowdays have no idea about what a RPG is :)

  • love the story ... beside II and III.

  • i agree !!!!

    my first ever rpg game is suikoden 2..

    i really cried when her sister got hit........

    and the next suikoden i played was the fifth one..

    this suikoden rock my world!!!

    i really like the graphics..

    the story .....: AWESOME!!

    but it's such a pity that i only played two suikoden games..... I WANNA PLAY SUIKODEN THREEE!!!!!

    i played suikoden 5 like 6 times to kill boredom!!! Guys i recommmend this game it's awesome!!!

  • Hmm why dont you js buy it if you wanna play three, unless you live in europe whom never saw a release like me, i js bought it overseas and soldered my old ps2, it was worth it

  • suikoden started my love for RPG.

  • I want a Suikoden VI! It's about time now!

  • No Suikoden VI but we have Suikoden Tierkreis coming to DS 3/17 in NA

  • Sorry that won't do it for me ´`

  • actually there is one in development... but i hear that it unfortunately might be for wii... and if it goes XBox Exclusive... i might as well kill myself... here's to hoping it's PS3 so i can continue to have faith in konami... besides... once Final Fantasy XIII comes out... which btw is PS3 exclusive... Sony WILL RISE AGAIN.... and then they don't have to worry about not getting the sales they want on a Suikoden VI

  • My mistake... FFVIII is PS3 exclusive in Japan but not here

  • Ok, THAT sounds promising :P Yuck, well we'll have 2 wait and see I guess ´`

    I hope so, Suikoden V was really good, so sad that people already had been scarred by SIV

    But the loyal fans still will buy it ^^

  • This was a pretty good comeback from that disaster known as Suikoden IV, it's not up there with Suikoden & Suikoden II (I have not played the 3rd) but if they keep this up...Mebbe

  • this game is AWESOME!!

    i never get tired of playing it! *-*!!

  • hw can you say that without playing, the character design here is beautiful, look at the artwork online and then tell me, true it looks weird at first glance but if you look carefully you'll see..take georg or the queen for example, personally i prefer suikoden 3 and 4 but this too is great

  • I have played it, the main character is totally trap material.

  • i have played this game and finished it till the end...it's worth the play...the game and the story is so memorable.. i will never forget this game..i played and finished Final Fantasy 12 too..it's also a very good and hard-to-forget game...these 2 games are very nice.. they are worth your time playing...the background music of the said games are very fantastic...it soothes and manipulates your mood...so nice.. Ü

  • This game saved my summer when alot of my friends were letting me down, and for that i am forever grateful -_-

  • Aww ^^

  • i finished this last summer and i was in a similar position as you, it too saved my summer, going through stormfist with my family was magic. because of this were playing suikoden 3 this summer, my all time favourite game, i have the full artwork hahaha

  • Suikoden is a definetely a good rpg game not the best though.I can think of much better rpgs (Persona 3&4,Final Fantasy X,Dragon Quest,Xenosaga,Kingdom Hearts 2,etc) but it's definetely in my top 10.Oh and the openings for suikoden 3,4,5 are so-so -_-.

  • i hate the music, and it looks to be a kinda wierd game but it might be good.

  • I still haven't played I & II. I look forward to them, though. Until then, this is my favorite Suikoden.

  • suikoden I is very short, but good.

    Suikoden II is the best RPG ever of all times for me.

    Better than any rpg in PS2 or nowday consoles, even better than my beloved Nes and Snes rpgs.

    Suikoden II is my favorite game of all times. You should really play it if you like suikoden series.

  • Yeah I agree, the Suikoden series is special in every way and gives you a little of everything...good story, characters, plot, the battles were interesting and epic and cant forget about the music. The world of Suikoden in general was very magical. I still have the first Suikoden and I have all of them as well...its just mystical and inspiring.

  • you can download them now on the playstation 3 network, and import it into a psp and play as well ^_^

  • completely agree!

  • whats the song Called??

  • It's called "Wind of Phantom".

  • Probably the best game in the entire series. Story, gameplay, sidequests, you name it, it got it right.

  • Thanks for uploading this! I love the series so much. It still pains me that they never published Suikoden III in Europe.

    By the way people, I will start uploading the full OST of Suikoden V soon, so be sure to visit my channel if you enjoy its music as much as I do.

  • LOL me too, i js completed Suikoden V and Suikoden 2, (currently playing 1) and i was devastated when i heard suikoden 3 wasnt in London, all i did was buy the game from online and a swap magic 3, voila, i cn play it on my ps2, i highly reccomend you to do that as its the only way, plus suikoden 3 is worth every second

    Amari

  • I love V as much as I love II because they brought back so many awesome elements and it just made me cry when I played this game. its kick ass.

  • I liked suikoden i more than suikoden ii is it just me or? Anyway I look forward to play suikoden iii-v =)

  • why download? you can buy suikoden 3 legal at e-bay ore import

  • This is the best series ever. Its a close call between V and II as the best Suikoden game. I still have all the Suikoden games except III as they never released it Europe for some reason.

  • i replied on a suikoden 4 intro video and after reading this, i have to reply to this also cuz i'm really trying to figure out which of 2 or 5 is my favorite. you should try to DL 3 somehow because it's a very interesting touch to story presentation but it has its critiques. this series is just that damn incredible

  • Being Irish I always related, from a historical/cultural point of view, with the story of the first Suikoden. Peoples uprising to create a republic. Sort of reminds me of the United Irishmen rebellion of 1798 and the English peasant revolt. As for the overall quality of Suikoden II vs V. I can't make my mind up! I would download Suikoden III if I could but I don't think there is a P.S. 2 emulator up to the job at the moment, although I could be wrong.

  • The Prince = Best Hero Ever.

  • the fact that we finally have a leader of royal blood makes me agree. the presentation of the story with his family and the knights = incredible. plus there's actually reason to have him as leader rather than some random kid who just stumbles upon being the next chosen rune bearer luckily (*cough* lazlo *cough*)

  • the best thing about him is that even if he's a silent protagonists

    he can show funny reactions i love his wtf look :D

    but i like chris more for some reasons

  • hmmm, suikogaiden vol 1 opening waaaaay better then all of them put together

  • oh man! i haven played the 5th one yet. and i liked the intro to the 2nd and 3rd one better. i like the anime intro better.

  • Btw they should make one involving or about the "Scarlet Moon Empire War".

  • Yeah I know. I love all the "Suikoden" games I own all of them "Suikoden", "Suikoden II", "Suikoden III", "Suikoden IV", and "Suikoden V". I really love all the stories. I hope they make a "Suikoden VI".

  • Suikoden III Opening it's the best! =D

  • am about to finish the game

    it wasnt hard as i thougt like example suikoden for ps1 was harder than these U_u there a better one that my friend told and its harder to beat

    this game dissapointed me but the story is good though

    greetings from peru :)

  • aww they changed the intro from traditional animation to 3D. Thats kinda dissapointing.

  • They really should go back to REAL anime.

  • I just finished this game

    the story is very good

  • lmao, I just got the game and my dad made a funny comment about that
