    This game literally RUINED JRPGs for me. NOTHING I've played after Suikoden 2 has left me with the same feeling of satisfaction and adoration. It's been over a decade since playing it too.

      The story, the art, the music, the map, the characters, the concept, everything
      I literally cried when Nanami died and totally shocked when Jowy killed Lady Annabelle
      I can't even played the game for almost 1 month lol

It genuinely touched our lives that whatever challenges may come, one can surpass it through friendship, resilience, compassion and courage. Truly, the core values of Suikoden.

    I have quite the fond memories of playing through this game. Streaming it a while back was no different reliving the nostalgia. The story really brings you in as you grow to love all the characters you meet and recruit throughout the game. And then, when that fateful moment came during the Gerudo siege with Nanami taking the arrow...the feels man. Just like what happened with Gremio from the first game. Luca Blight, I swear, had this game been more well known, he would have been in the top 10 or maybe even 20 of most evil psychotic villains in gaming.
    Overall, the game itself will always have a place in my heart as one of the greatest RPGs of all time. That is why I will never let go of the copy I own still to this very day. A very informative list you've made.Nice job!

    I did not play this game around release, nor did I play it for the first time in the first decade after its release. I first played this game and finished in 2013. Mind you that is nearly 15 years past its production and we were 2 generations of gaming past its original development. That said, this game was an amazing experience, one of the only games I have ever stated when I finished it "THIS is a masterpiece". For a game that had come out so long before I first played it and was THAT good was unbelievable to me, despite being a big fan of the original Suikoden. I just can't be happier at the time I'm typing this that some of the original developers are making a new game that will be similar to this series and especially aimed at being moire like the 2nd Suikoden. Unbelievable how good this game is.

If i could give money to a compagny to help developp a new suikoden i'd do it without hesitation, and i wouldn't have been the only one. Not a lot of people knows about Suikoden(although thanks to youtubers like him it raises more and more , i'm so grateful), but for those who have played it , it is unforgettable. I hope those videos will get tons of views and revive this game that has been unfairly doomed.

    I missed several heroes in the game, my Nanami died, I played it again from the beginning to recruit everyone. I made sure I recruited everyone except the moku2, miku2,maku2, etc (at that point I was quite fed up with them). I got the best ending (with Jowy not dead either and all three of them went on adventure together)

    Regarding the no.3 Nanami Controversy, you actually have to recruit a certain amount of character to unlock the additional scene.
    Therefore, the first option and the second option will lead to a much different scene.
    Just FYI.
    It is a quite critical scene that will be explained in the proper ending later on (If you recruited 108 stars of destiny and chose to leave).

    as non native english speaker, I actually learn my early english from suikoden. also curious what translation part is considered horrible(IMO this is almost always happen in JRPG that translated to english) and what did native expected. at least the text is 10x better than how my local do english (SEA)
    also I remember about people datamined the game, and found a code in sajah village that can turn back time, maybe to re-visit our decision / new game+ but it wasn't available in the release. which answer why some items could be get after epilogue (which is no reason to) except if they actually did this new game+ scheme

      For example to name one, in the same box they call him Jowy and Joei.
      They have Theresa threaten Theresa with arrows.
      They can't spell Schtolteheim Reinbach III right (which is gone since can't spell Banner or Jowston right).
      They overuse ellipses.

    If done correctly, Riou will get into battle stance as well and later Huan will request Shu to come in. This signifies, that you have fullfilled all prerequisites for the best ending.

I got it for Christmas in the 90s. and just like that I was a fan. ff7, xenogears, and this amazing game are my all time favorites ever. and not in that order, depending on how im feeling at the time. I had all of my original copies and my original playstation, plus suikogaiden 1 and 2 which I had to order a special gameshark-like device to hook into my original psx to even be able to play Japanese games, and I couldn't understand Japanese, but it was suikogaiden so I played them anyway, with barely a very rough internet guide to do so. it broke my heart 2 years ago when all of these were stolen from me...by someone who had no fucking idea a...what those games meant to me personally, and b....how rare and expensive they are to obtain now. they probably took it to a 2nd hand store and got chump change for all of them, plus bof3, valkyrie profile, grandia 1 and 2, vandal Hearts 1 and 2, parasite eve 1 and 2, wild arms 1-5, lunar sss box set and lunar2, many ps2 titles and my system, sega Genesis and all my games.....so much anger to this person...I carried all of these around like good old and best friends for years.. still im glad I was 15 or so years old in the late 90s and got to experience the golden age. ♥
