Suikoden V

[DragonBlaze]

I may have the money to buy it now! I haven't gotten around to playing any of the previous games YET, but its always something I wanted to try out.

Grr, I only wish my ps2 worked better...

well thats ok dragonblaze, cause the 5th game is in the timeline of before the 1st one started.. so you wont get lost Its all new and before any of the games, so no one will get lost if havent played the other games..just returning characters from the other games.

Sweetness

I'm currious, didn't they just make a new Suikoden Tactics game or whatever? Or is that this one? I was thinking about buying that one for a while because I needed a new ps2 rpg, but I never really though too much into it because I never really had the money. Now I kinda have a job as a sap farmer :p, so now I can actually afford a new game.

I didnt like Tactics too well, its a remake of the 4th one but changed a bit...and the graphics went really bad and..well it just didnt get high ratings either...so I would skip out on that one

I haven't tried any of the suikoden games but from what I read I need to find a way to get it and try.

Ah, I see, well good thing I'm a very cheap person and never got around to buying it then :-p

cheap yeah, PS2 games lowered in price, I got 20$ off Suikoden V from gamestop. it only costed me 36$ with tax. when it was suppose to be 55$ with tax..so glad it lowered before I paid for it already...and so far the price is the same..but I also had 5$ on it already so it is 39$ plus tax...

WHAAAT? Suikoden Tactics is the best tectics game for PS2 so far! I love the graphics! And the story has NOTHING to do with S4, they just happen almost at the same time!

It´s awesome, the battle system rules. It´s better than Disgaea, Stella Deus, Phantom Brave, etc...The only one that is as cool as ST is Front Mission, that is always cool...

 What proves to you how far below are the Tactics game in the PS2.

 Sorry, but that game sucked, not because of the graphics, I don't like games with 100¹°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°° poligons per character, anyway. It wasn't because of the Rune system, which I find far less interesting than in Suiko2 (cheap bolts), it wasn't even because of the non-fun Unites. It was solely because the history was something that I could've made better in a bored night. Suiko2 started with an average soldier, it could be anyone of that damn highland camp, it's good to start like that, makes you feel ordinary, not special. In Tactics, you start as someone who works into something secret and is chasing down an street looking for an monster. I mean, it doesn't even let you incorpore the character.
 Secondly, The fact it's in 3D. The graphics are okay, I'm not complaining about it, but I think Suikoden should stick with 2D, with that anime feel that made me play the first (by first I mean second) one.
 3rd, it was a failed attempt to do a dark history, until where I got to, I haven't smirked for once, not only by the fact there aren't many jokes, but also, 'cause the few ones that there is aren't enjoyable, I find it because the characters move too fluidly, that gives a feel more ethereal and lest comical, again, other reason to stick to sprites.

 Those are just a few reasons.
