[General Discussion] Suikoden Club v7!

I just got this game today however I had to plow through a mob of KHII fans just to get to the game rack -.-. Really releasing this game on almost the same day as KHII was IMO a horrible decision. I read the manuel some..Konami went all out in this game. I don't expect an emulated suikoden II experience, but something far better. It is like all systems they've used from all games have been tuned up and placed into this one game - I really look forward to dueling.

However the immortal difference between Suikoden and Final Fantasy will be that Suikoden has wonderful mythology to it and great backstory. Final Fantasy gives us eye-candy...oh yay.

Fixed.

Jam it back in, in the dark.

I am 40 hours in the game and so far it looks like Suikoden II will be a distant memory.(Yea I know it's not fair to compare every suikoden game to Suikoden II but really.. IV will do that too you.).

There's nowhere I can't reach.

The biggest problem you may encounter is that it takes a good 5-7 hours before the story really starts to pick up.

And........this keeps people(generally) from replaying the game, like me. Seriously that part of the game was intensly boring. Once that was over, I milked my battles to death. Suikoden V's strongest point IMO is it's battles. Very addicting and when you get those superhuman characters(Raven, Richard, etc) you really start kicking ass without stopping.

This thing is sticky, and I don't like it. I don't appreciate it.

It's there but not in it's original form. No idea why they took it out of the pic thread. Anyway the OP provided this link.

Slight warning; even though they are pictures, they could be spoilers .

I am a dolphin, do you want me on your body?

Apparently the game was discontinued(this isn't confirmed though). I don't see it at EB anymore either as a brand new game. Should it be true that is was, lucky find... I see Suikoden V being much more expensive to get than the Suikoden II is.

I loved V and like jct said, the load times were well...heh. Big emphasis on female fighters in this game than any other.

I was speaking idiomatically.
