2 - Easily my favourite
1- follows closely
5- Really enjoyed and was awesome to see more georg prime action
4 - short and fuck me the random battles...
3 - never played because it looks like utter shite
Benjamin Wilson
Played the first one alot but not the sequals. Looked like it went down hill like alunrda 2 when it tried to go 3D.
Grandia 2 was a good sequal
Legaia 2 sucked
Dylan Morgan
It's disappointingly easy when you go back to it but it's still got that atmosphere and nostalgia
Jeremiah Taylor
>3 - never played because it looks like utter shite
Its actually pretty good and some bosses are challenging
Angel Butler
play breath of fire 3 and 4 if you havent
Gabriel Martinez
Edgy opinion alert: theyre both great games but 5 > 2
Easton Johnson
Love both of them. I loved them both equally around the time they came out but it's only recently I realised how muc better BoF3 was. Love that game so much.
Dragon quarter got a lot of hate but I think it's a good game in it's own right. Really addictive
Jacob Wood
maybe i'll give it a go. I tried it for about half hour and it didn't feel like a suikoden game
I appreciate they tried to modernise the series but it just felt wrong to me.

Suikoden 1 aged quite a bit, but is still definitely playable today. Amusingly enough, it was treated kinda like a "test project" by the director at the times, (was his first project, he wanted to do a game that'd end up being Suikoden 2, but preferred to play it safe for his first try). It still has a lot going for it and really makes Suikoden 2 better, so it's definitely worth playing.
Suikoden 2 is the best jrpg ever made.
Suikoden 3 is odd. Suikoden have a reputation for "slow starts", and Suikoden 3 is the worse by far in that aspect, with almost 40 hours of "slow start", with a shitload of backtracking, no full access to the roster, etc. It really gets going after that, but you need to hang in there for a bit. It's the only Suikoden I've never replayed for that reason, but I still enjoyed it.
Suikoden 4 (original creator had left right before the end of Suikoden 3 development) is a textbook example of "okay game for that genre, bad game for the series". It's mostly about fucking nothing happening, with anticlimatic antagonists and a pretty weak plot that's really distant from the original trilogy. It's meh. The music and setting are really nice, though.
Heard Suikoden Tactics is kinda okay, and makes up for the shortcoming in the story of Suikoden 4. Haven't really played it.
Suikoden 5 is just the new team trying to copy Suikoden 2 as much as possible, and guess what: Suikoden 2 is so fucking good that it just works, because even a pale copy of it is still better than most original jrpgs. It doesn't hold up to the original, but is actually probably the second best game in the series, and is an incredible blast to play, especially after Suikoden 4.
Tearkreis is super meh, and no one played that one game on the PSP.
