Forum Overview :: Gamerasutra :: Every Suikoden has that, and Suikoden II was a masterpiece

[quote name="Damocles"][quote name="Lizard_King"]That's a shame. I guess I will never get back the 6$ I paid for it. Thanks for the warning. Judging from the way reviewers gushed, I would guess it is protected by that same cognitive dissonance that somehow shielded Suikoden III from being judged for the flaming piece of crap it actually is. A complex, involved one, but a piece of crap when you try to figure out, after a few hours, why exactly you are continuing to play it...also, it has a "collect the characters, 108 this time" theme.[/quote] See above. Collection was FUN in that game, largely because a) it made your castle bigger and more interesting with more things to do (which is a requirement for decent collection games) and b) the characters could do fun combination attacks that made combat more interesting. By the way, if you want another good execution of the "collection" bit, try Skies of Arcadia. Or just play Skies of Arcadia anyway, because it rocks.[/quote]
