Is this game worth playing if I liked I, II, and V?

I remembered Thomas right after I made that post. He's second-place and then there's a power gap between him and Hugo/Chris

The worst part about the game was the obnoxiously high random encounter rate, but it's actually less than the original release of Skies of Arcadia on Dreamcast.

It is a boring slog, even compared to 1's relatively basic gameplay back then. The naval battles are a joke, due to how easy these are, everyone is balanced compared to other games in the serie with much more varied power level, the Hero's rune is actively worse than a normal one, there is only a handful of good characters, but some, like the Strategist, are simply not (hard pressed to see any of her contributions thinking about it)...

Basically plays like a Skies of Arcadia where you suck all the fun out of it. And I do mean ALL of it

I actually think Suikoden 3 has the best combat mechanics in the series, though that isn't saying a whole lot. I do agree that most of the playable characters are a bit bland, though. I also dislike the soundtrack for the most part.

How's 5? I only ever hear people talk about the first three ones (and 4 too, to complain about how bad it was)

5 is the shit, a game you ought to play before you die

5 is an attempt to copy Suikoden I/II, if that makes any sense. Much better than 4, not bad but nothing exceptional. If you liked the first two you should like it.
I reckon Suikoden simpy worked better in 2D.

no its fucking garbage
1, 2, 5 are the only ones worth playing
3 is absolutely disgusting to look at
4 is a departure from past series you only get 4 playable characters out of the hundred you would normally collect
the random encounters when sailing is so annoying
the story itself is awful as well, i hate this faggot mc

It has a really slow beginning, and in some ways I feel it's overly derivative of Suikoden 2. It's still a worthy entry, though, and I enjoyed it quite a bit.

Don't you have to play them in release order to understand the dEePeSt LoRe?
