3 is my favorite Suikoden and while I would not make the claim that it's the only actually good Suikoden on the basis of an earnestly-held belief, I will make that claim to be provocative.

I felt the same way about Lost Kingdoms, one of the few From Software titles I absolutely cannot get into.

While I may not agree with what you say sir I'll fight to the death for your right to say it.

Actually, the only correct opinion regarding Suikoden is "they're all pretty good except IV and who cares about the handheld spinoffs."

I honestly don't know what the hell they were thinking with Suikoden IV. At least III was experimental and tried new things, some worked and some didn't work and Suikoden V is pretty much Suikoden II but in 3D and a much slower opening before the game opens up. I honestly wonder if Suikoden Tactics was meant to be the second half of Suikoden IV but a short production time and/or budget meant it had to be split into two games, because Tactics does a lot more with the setting than IV itself does.

Wendell

It has always seemed to me that Suikoden IV was attempting to recreate Suikoden 1, which was a bad idea.

IV is very bad but it has Mitsuba, and I like Mitsuba!

I actually don't know how to recommend anything in DQ9 for a grindless playthrough of the game, even though I'm quite certain it's not that hard. I guess just a general balanced party?

i've heard this repeated many times and I don't get it. is it because people like both II and V. they're very different as far as theming/pacing/writing/everything except pushing the autobattle button goes.

II and V are definitely the ones I enjoyed the most. The first one was mostly fine though, just a bit dated and rough around the edges.

Suikoden 3's intro video is loving awesome.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pLcaFpp9N_w

The other games have good intros too, including the Suikogaiden games. V has is the only one that has a boring intro!

V's intro is weird because it flat out lies to you about character hair colors and IIRC shows events that never actually happen in the game.

I think a lot of the intros did this to some extent. I don't remember giant bugs divebombing a village in Suikoden III but I could be wrong.

Suikoden III is often viewed as a letdown from II but it's probably the most memorable of the ones I played, if only because I was 17 years old at the time of its release and my Tolerance for JRPG poo poo was at an all-time high. Also this music:

I'm watching this video of Suikoden 2's unite attacks, there are a bunch I haven't seen before. A lot of love went into Suikoden 2.
