  • My personal ordering for the games overall is 3 > 2 > 5 > 1 > 4

    It's VERY close with 2 and 3. There's just something I like better about 3.

    As for why I put 1 so low, it's purely because it's hard to play now, not having all of the improvements that were put in in the later installments (Like only being able to have 1 rune. So annoying).

    4 is the only one that I feel really meh about. It's also the only one I haven't beaten (Gotten to the final dungeon, though)

  • Back in the day I rented this game because FUCK YEAH MERMAIDS and then fell in love with it for the music.

  • rune of punishment ftw

  • No way, best suikoden is suikoden II

    It would be interesting make it with better graphics but same game

  • dunno how many of you know this, but Konami is making another (unfortunately, its another spin off on the PSP with nothing to do with the rest of the series)

  • @ShadowWolfRising and we remain clueless about all of mystery in suikoden

  • @keselekbakiak

    maybe if it sells well (at least in Japan), maybe we can go back to the numbered Entries.

  • NOPE Suikoden Tierkreis beats them all

  • If Konami decides to remake the Suikoden series, I think this is the one that could use the most changes. A story that feels abbreviated, 4-character party limit (the side parties were a nice touch, though), LONG sea travel--I wish they abbreviated this feature rather than the story.

    However, the song used in the opening is one of the best features of this game. They should NOT replace this song.

  • "So... you've returned, Rune of Punishment..."

  • putz, esse jogo é zika!!!

    raramente eu começava a jogar sem assistir a essa abertura... e o jogo era mt emocionante tb.

    La mer...

  • Ah, the game that started it all for me.

    I just remember seeing the gameplay one day when I went to Gamestop.

    Decided to try it out. Best decision ever ^_^

    Now I've played every game of the series

  • Watching this makes me want to go play the game again. I still haven't beaten it...

    I LOVE the music here. This intros always been one of my favourites.

  • Ocean encounter rate is insane o.O I had headaches sometimes, 4 fighters battle system EPIC FAIL!!!, and the major battle system is too much simple =/, not horrible but aganist his predecesors uhm leaves a lot to wish for.

    SUIKODEN 2 FTW!!!!!

  • @3lprim0 indeed it like every 2 second there be a battle at sea, it like it not letting us explore freely,when we move out of the area the encounter rate slow down

  • suikoden IV 150 years before suikoden 1, and suikoden V 7, years before suikoden 1 and 2 years before suikoden 2, 16 years before suikoden 3

  • Good gawd,i havent played this in like ages.

  • Best Part of playing this game was the opening.

  • This game made me annoyed with the battles and the sailing. The enemy encounter rate on the ocean is insanely high.... story is interesting (especially about the rune) but most characters are unlikable.

  • la cagaron mal aguante el suikoden 1 2 y 3 ya no es lo mismo adermas la cagaron con la musica yo subo uno con la music mejor saben ?

    !!!!!

  • I remember playing this game when i was little, and not remembering the name/title.

    Now that i know it,It brings back some memories.

    Suikoden, Nostalgia!

  • This game makes me feel depressed, in contrast with Suikoden 2.

    I mean, look at Snowe. Are you kidding me? Jowy was an awesome friend compared to that jerk.

  • best of suikoden 4 was the rune in my few the strongest i ever saw

  • sad thing about Suikoden 4 is: all of the character in this game are already dead in the current Suikoden timeline

  • the game had good graphics but the battles seem to be to repetitve and i enjoyed the music as well snowe becomes a real jerk throught the game and the game gets really hard unless you have enough money to strengthen yor weapon but good game

  • Suikoden IV.

    Even though its gameplay is sub-par compared to the other installments, "La Mer" is undoubtedly the best opening in the series

  • 4 always hold's a special place in my heart.

  • well if you put it into best suikoden game it would be

    2 > 3 > 1 > 5 > 4

  • WE DEMAND AN ANIME BASED ON SUIKODEN!!!!

  • Even though I took part in making the S-II opening, i find this a masterpiece...

    So here is the question for You :)

    What tune would You rather like to hear while being on the boat with your mates at the Mediterranean Sea?

  • I have a question...

    What tune would you like to sea while being stoned/drunk at Mediterranean Sea? ;]

  • i didnt play past 3 because 3 just didnt feel right to me compared to 1 and 2. the characters all ran funny, and it just felt rushed.

    with that said, after watching this, i will still have to say 3 had the best opening. to this day i find myself listening to that opening intro. 1 and 2 were best gameplay for me. as far as storyline idk. prolly 2.

  • Best OPENING 3>4>2>5>1

    Best GAMEPLAY 2>3>5>1>4

    Best STORYLINE 2>5>3>1>4 for me

  • Nice video, all you can hear are the instruments playing clearly. :)

  • indeed. Where is our Suikoden 6!!? Konami hear us!

  • WHERE IS OUR SUIKODEN 6!?

  • There is suikoden tirkreis on nintendo DS :)

  • Best opening I can agree

    Best Gameplay - I'd put 1 over 3

    Best Storyline - 2>1>5>3>4 (sad to say i own 2 copies of 4 (bought it 2x by accident) and i remember every storyline and what happened...EXCEPT for this one. AND I <3 Suiko

  • Im hearing sooo many things about 4 and 5 i only played 3 wich was one of my fav games but idk which to get!!

  • the storyline was very good but it was to short so 2 and 5 was best

    but i prefer 4 in battle system......Viki seem to be everywhere =__=''

  • I really honestly don't like this Suikoden it just suck in comparison to I,II,III,V...what a disappointment :-(

  • so what kind of game is Suikuiden?

    it looks intresting.

  • @BLUEEYESBLACKCAT an awsome RPG

  • @BLUEEYESBLACKCAT recommend 2 and 3 for storyline

    overall 2 and 5 are the most ok

  • this is kind of lame compared to suikoden 3 opening

  • Best opening theme ever!

  • which console is suikoden 3 on?

  • @Biddybalboa PS2

  • This game was one of the biggest steps in a totally wrong direction I've ever seen game series take. What the hell, Konami?

  • Best OPENING is 4>3>2>5>1

    Best GAMEPLAY is 2>3>5>1>4

    Best STORYLINE is 2>1>3>4>5

    i think most of u agree ^_^

  • @Yuber108 well i think suikoden 5 is second only to suikoden 2 in all categories and i absolutely do not agree with best story line. hehehehe ^^ i think it's 2>5>1> well i havent played 4 so im not sure if its worse than 3 haha ^^

  • @Yuber108 your forgot best true rune

    True Rune 4>1>2>3>5

    and even then, its pretty damn close between 1 and 4

  • @Yuber108

    u prefer this one than intro from suikoden 3 O_o? u joking ...

  • @PoisonMatch I know right, 3 is the best opening not just for the Suikoden series but for any game ever made. Some thing about it just get you all work up to play the game.

  • @Yuber108 Best storyline 2>5>1>Tactics>3>4>Tierkreis

  • @Yuber108 You pretty much nailed it.

  • @Yuber108

    I actually disagree with you, I don't really like the intro of Suikoden V. Suikoden II definitely has a better opening....and overall, the best out of the Suikoden Series. =)

  • @Yuber108 ... I think the intro music is A+, but the video ... Its just so lackluster. It doesn't make me want to play the game like Suikoden II or III's intro.

  • @Yuber108 for me for the storyline 2>1>5>4>3

  • @Yuber108 Definitely not. Suikoden 5 had the best storyline ever in Suikoden series, the best way of delivering events, the best characters and the most emotion. It's true I started with Suikoden 2 and I love it a lot, but hands down, you can't even compare the simplicity of Suikoden 2 to complexity of Suikoden 5. It's simply better written.

  • @Yuber108 Nah. This opening's got nothing on 3's.

    And it's tough for the story. While 2's story itself was definitely the best, I like the way 3's unfolds (With the Trinity Site) better

  • Best Suikoden opening ever, worst Suikoden game ever (even though I haven't played 5 yet). Just got done playing Suikoden iv and this game lacks in so many ways, from the extremely high encounter rate to the tedious and non-user friendly ship traveling system. It should not take an hour to go from one location to another on the World Map. The storyline was simplistic and unimaginative as well. All the other Suikoden's are amazing!

  • @mrmiguel2006 i agree...the sea encounter rate is nothing,just the storyline too short and it is not a wisely planned,for example the strategist , Elenor ,was a NORMAL,not as wonderful storyline as tactic like suikoden 1 and 2

  • Lol, like nobody has pupils in the intro O.O

  • man i want to see hugo,chris and geddoe again

  • 12 people do not own a True Rune.

  • best rpg series of all time.

  • Who dares dislike this? D':

  • Wow I remember I used to turn on my PS2 to play this game, and always hear this song. Always loved it. Always.

  • I <3 this game as the song ^_^

  • amazing video and music <3

  • the artworks (good graphic) , the character (most of character are looks cool) and the fact that this is maritime/pirate theme. for f**k sake this game should have been a big hit, just because of the storyline are real crappy as hell. what a waste...

  • @kurohikiippatsu spending hours upon hours on the ocean didn't help. It's a beautiful game..

  • Suikoden 4 is cool but Suikoden 1 & 2 are better, even though they are not 3D b'coz their Stories are very related. Suikoden 4 is cool tough.

  • i love this game..one of the best suikodens imo..played all of em but never beat 5 or 2.

  • @jgoth08 5 is easy too although the twilight forest is quite annoying i was stuck their for 3 months and then i decided to create a map... 2, well its tougher than 5... but 2 is the most beautiful of 5 games...

  • Anyone knows a band that plays just like this??

  • which is the main instrument¿?

  • @Noexistente Suena demasiado como un bandoneon, instrumento bastante popular en Argentina (de donde soy) .

  • @Noexistente O puede ser un acordeon tambien. Tienen sonidos similares.

  • it may not have words but it is still awesomeness!!

  • am i the only one who like this game? its way better than 3 and maybe a bit better than 5 imo. i actually enjoyed the graphics

  • @TKDmidgit count me in :D I love this game.

  • @TKDmidgit I am with you. Sigurd, Jeremy, Helmut, Troy... all SEXY. Gameplay is easy as hell and fun too

  • Comment removed

  • wow,,,how time flies,,, :(

    I remember the time I'm excited because I bought this game and suddenly got a little disappointed when I can't use my saving from 3 (suiko 2 savings can be used in 3 so why can't they use 3 on 4 and 4 on 5?)

    but nevertheless, I love this one XD the sea exploration become far less annoying once you had slash rune and just use slash command LOL

    I'd buy any console for suiko series (just like PS2 when suiko 3 out and NDS with Tierkreis announced)

    LOL

  • @Qeisama Because Suikoden 4 is the first timeline of Suikoden. 150 years before Suikoden 1.

  • @raymond5ive29 hahaha yea I'm aware of that

    :P

    but isn't it cool of we can use the data and like, suddenly small Viki came out as cameo (just like McDohl) or Viki saying something interesting about the tragedy in suiko 3

    just my imagination LOL (I'm veery curious about the nature of Viki,,,, hmmmm)

  • @Qeisama Yeah you're right. Viki is a time traveler, but I don't know Young Viki.

    Is Viki and Young Viki are one? Maybe stil unknown? b'coz they don't have the same Star The Chitatsu Star.And Viki never had a child b'coz she's still young and She's Virgin. Hehe!

  • Guys, does anybody know about Suikoden 4 converted for PSP and where I can download that? Tnx!

  • I love this music so much!!!! >,<

    and I like this game too.... :D

    Suikoden is the best!!!!!! ^^b

  • I love this music so much!!!! >,<

    and I like this game too.... :D

    Suikoden is the best!!!!!! ^^b

  • Wow Omg This song iss soooooooo Beautiful!!

  • Wow, i didnt expect the opening to be this good. especially with all the talks about this game being the worst Suikoden ever. turns out at least it has the best opening in the series

  • what song is it? It's so coooolll!!!

  • @crash6192

    La mer, it is

  • I love this game. Its so relaxing, you can just close your eyes and hear the ocean.

  • I like this game a whole lot more than V

  • People say they hate the traveling system... am I the only one who likes it?? Took me long time before I found the boost button on the ps2 controller (R2 or something) But I still love it :)

  • the worst suikoden ever :D

  • @Ez3k1eLz the worst troll ever :D

  • The one thing I hated about this game was travel. It took so damn long to get from place to place that I began to loathe the very thought of playing this thing. Thank God for Viki, I'd never been so happy to see her before.

  • I love this one but I felt like that this was a bit shorter then the other ones.

  • i love the dice game in suikoden 4. Game breaking for the win. =p i keep saving my game on 15,000 potch intervals. 30 mins later................230,000 potch and not more then 45 minutes into the game and a person can buy anything they want and becaome overpowered with gear. xD

  • @Squall7766 not to mention i only started with 300 potch.  Walk in with 300 and walk out with 230,000? Thats some serious high roller shit right there..... xD

  • Suikoden4 Good Times =D

  • I like this ones Location out of all the suikoden series

  • man i love pirates and i love the suikoden series. hope they make a nuber 6.=]

  • this game also rocks but why do others not appreciate it?

  • It's too cruel fact that Suikoden 1,2,3 and 5 are published in my counrty but they missed 4th. I am so ******** interested to try it out! I already have 5th : 3

  • @RobinNicoagain 4 got both a North American and European release. Your profile says you live in Finland and most PAL (European) releases cover Finland as well, so maybe you ought to look again?

  • @ranma814 Hmm... I better look more, but it will be really expensive. Thanks for the tip.

  • @RobinNicoagain Well, you seem to understand english, so if the game truly is not in Finland, then ebay is your answer. Any pal game will work in any pal console as far as i am aware. (I buy most of my games from the UK because they are seriously way too overpriced here in Australia, and their games work no prob in my aus console)

  • @Crashandburn999 Hmmm... nice tip, I haven't tried any other pal things with my console, but it sounds little bit expensive and hard for me to get it (what I have read) since I don't have any cards (visa etc.). But I take a look and find out wich would be the nearest country where I could buy it. Sweden sounds like possible choice but: I will take a look.

  • @RobinNicoagain I don't have any credit /debit cards either. I use paypal. You just create an account with them, add your bank to it, then add funds from your bank account to your paypal account. It's pretty simple.

  • @Crashandburn999 First trying and I found finnish suikoden fansite wich is selling all suikodens. Thanks for the tip anyway. :D

  • A flawed but beautiful game.

  • @Mostlyjoe flawed how? I thought this game was perfectly made in every sense of the word. Final fantasy could learn a few things from this game i think. I have an open mind though. I wanna hear why you think its flawed.

  • this was a good game to play 1st before playing any other suikoden game

  • 2 things bad about the game, the battle system only allowed 4 characters which means limited combo attacks and 2 it was too damned short. other then that it was a pretty good game.

  • 1:35 Onix!

  • people hate this one but ive always loved it for some reason.

    Prob the graphics and the story and i liked Lazlo.

    But yeah one and two are the best

  • @TKDmidgit i personally love the series coz of all de cool details like trading, the naval wars, 1 on 1 duels .... i mean it's awsome XD. besides the characters are quite cool ...... what really bummed me was that i never saw yubar after suikoden 3 ....

    still, it's a great saga

  • @luievd89

    i agree i esp love the one on one duels and trading. i just think its so cool how suikoden did its own thing and in all 5 it has its similarities yet each game is so different.

  • Jowy is better than Snowe....Snowe`s a cry baby.....and Jowy got guts.....

  • Omg, this music has always been sooo beautiful! I never get tired of hearing it! <3 5/5 one of the best openings of Suikoden(in my opinion), mainly because I love this song. xD

  • @mimiuchiha93 ha i ment thumbs up not down lol clicked it by accident..this song is the shit it has been stuck in my head a bit and i aint even plaid the game.

  • Oh God, I remember this game. It was so beautiful

  • I love this music too and the Suikoden series heh

  • eu aprendi a joga rpg com esse game!!

  • this is one my favorite game of all time...

  • suikoden 4 was and still is my favorite... ive played every one of the main series except 3...

  • La Mer

  • I have been rushing through suikoden 1 and 2 now this is next..... i have to skip 3 since i don't got the ntsc version of the ps2 but i got 5 and im renting this tomorow so im excited!

  • joar das wirklich ein geiler song jedes mal wenn ich das spiel anfange höre ichs mir gleich an ^^

  • not the best game in the series, but certainly the best opening music :)

  • @johanv83 i prefer suikogaidens openings, you should watch them.

  • LOL

    this song made me cry.

  • oh yeah I liked the return of Ted in this game. He's just awesome!!!

  • song is great, but the anime style opening of 3 was the best. I love this version of La Mer though.

  • i love this song soo much <3

  • not as good as 3 but its ok

  • if you only have the ps2 then go for the 5'th its a great game, almost as good as suiko 2. suiko tactic is also awesome

    Konami explained it enough, suikoden 4 was made to show that there is a pre suikoden 1

  • alright thanks

  • i just beat suikoden 3, and i got all 108 stars.

    its the only suikoden i played, so i decided i want to try out another one, but this intro doesnt seem like theres any action, like suikoden 3 intro was awesome and really convincing to play.

    so idk which i should play, btw do they have suikoden 1 or 2 on ps2?

  • hey es un buen juego , no un GRAN juego pero un BUENJUEGO

  • I wonder y they make Suikoden 4 as the 150 years back from Suikoden 1....I think they should`ve made the story after Suikoden 3 saga so that us players could recruit Hugo just like Suikoden 2 recruiting Suikoden 1`s hero...,coz we all bust our asses to recruit all 108 stars of destiny in Suikoden 3..,hoping that we could recruit Hugo in 4.....n it`s a little bit sad that we can`t.....coz thats how I feel....but all n all Suikoden 4 is a great game to play........

  • the only bad thing about this game is that it's too short and the 4 man group kinda sucks.

  • @xxenkixx

    and the random encounter rate is ridiculously high

  • I absolutely love this song, however I really think they could have just made an anime style intro like in the third game and yeah...why didn't they? *sobs*

  • this opening is a good song, confusing video, and suikoden 4 is just as good as suikoden 1. but dont get me wrong, they are both amazing.!!!!!! suikoden 1 is a little slower and harder to know what to do next. suikoden 4 is short but makes the sea travel long so the game seems long.

  • Suikoden Tierkries is the only one i played but damn i want to play them all! I love Tierkries, try it out. seriously.

  • I strongly suggest playing the first two if you can. 1 will be a lot easier to find but if you ever get your hands on 2, you'll treasure it

  • Agree I have one burnt of 2 and just made 2 extra copies only to find my ps1 (mod) is dead.....surprised it lasted that long.. its a good game

  • La mer is a wonderful song, yes. But the video... or the intro... aren't. This intro could have been improved, i guess.

    But the game and the song are... simply awesome!

  • Suikoden 1 & 2 were definitely one of the best or maybe THE BEST but I also loved this game too :)

  • I own this for ps2 and ive almost beaten it i love it i also i have number 3 its cool to

  • i own all the suikoden games there are including SUIKODEN TIERKREIS, suikoden 3,4,5 <---- this 4 versions of suikoden r my fave

  • hi its a one stupid

  • u r a stupid one not the song

  • I love this game!!!! =D

  • I have from this day on played and finished 1,2,3 and I own 4 and 5. I waited until I got the 4th game before I continue with 5 and this game is greatly underestimated! As a sort of Suikoden expert I can say that the game does follow the typical route as the others do. It also have the magics as it was in the good old second game thank god. (I absoulty HATED the third´s magic being able to damage your team) It´s story is somewhat choppy but is managable, though bosses are tough.

  • Further more there as a bit of typoes in 4 but the voices (voices weren´t in 3!) are top notch! The gameplay is as it should and don´t even TRY to complain to the NEW FEATURE with the ships! As you get Viki (she´s in every game) you can teleport where you´ve been anyways... the exploration is... up to you. Personally I think you earn a great deal of money and exp along the trip. I´m actually currently gaming this so I know what I´m writing here. 29+ hours in atm.

  • Also, not too importants but you get to fight with JEANE (everyone´s favorite runemaster) and boy are you going to be surprised when you get her... (clothes?) I´m willing to bet she and Viki are the best runemages.... I know Viki is since er... the three other games before this one. Oh yes, there´s one more thing... seems this game is 150 years before the first one... I think this is the ancestor to Tir McDohl... just a thought though...

  • others are 7....not so sure but 4 is definitely #1.(IMO)

  • i feel the same terra, tho i can play suikoden 3 just NOT finish it, i always stop at the very end, before the final assault right after we get sasarai, and i hate that, we get one of my fav character at the end of the game ah la la.

    anyway i still disagree with most of ppl, i love the whole suikoden serie, yeah the 4 isnt as great as the rest of the serie, but its still a good one, and i really loved the tactic

  • Very good theme bad game though ^_^.

    my favorite seires are : 1-suikoden 2. 2-suikoden 1. 3-suikoden 5. other then those drop it in the "ahm" garbage.

  • all suikoden games are the best. BAKA if u dont like it then dont play it

  • OK,that's your opinion. But you don't have to say bad things on others.Espcially if thay are saying thier opinions and finally grow up boy.

  • Only played II V and IV, stupid konami not releasing Suikoden III in europe, got kinda dissapointed when i played this one though the opening music is kinda nice

  • My order best to worse;

    1. Suikoden 2 (as expected)

    2. Tie between Suiko 1 and 5 (5 has that nostalgic feel to it)

    3. Suikoden 3

    4. Suikoden 4

    5. Rhapsodia (Tactics)...I just hate tactics spin-offs including FF tactics lol

  • hmm, mine is almost the complete opposite:

    1. Suikoden 4

    2. Tie between Tactics and 3

    3. Suikoden 5

    4. Suikoden 2

    5. Suikoden 1

    ......damn, is it me that has the bad taste? I just played (4) and thought "wow!" compared to my older playthrough(2) wherein i said...."cool"-nonetheless, i'm sticking to this.

  • i love this song, and the game ^_^

  • Suikoden 2 is STILL the best in my opinion... followed by Suikoden 3, 4, 1.

  • 5 > 2 > 1 > 3 > 4, IMHO.

    Not that any of them is bad.

    Also, this song is wonderful.

  • Ted is the best in this game...

  • yeah that boss was the last? i couldnt believe it,,but it was hard ,,,too hard..

  • i really like this game, but the only thing that annoys me is their hands, they have to BIG HANDS! ^^

  • holy WOW.. they do.. -never noticed-
