Reviewer's Comments: Summary:GreAt !!! Pros: Much like the other guy, I only have the classic Suikoden 2 compare with, which (even though the graphics looked like a pile of colourful pebbles) was a brilliant game. I'm glad to see that the Suikoden series, like the Final Fantasy series, the have unique characters, magic system and weapons, but still has a genuine RPG feel to it, and has a much better storyline. The music is... intresting, but apt.
Cons: Like all Rpgs, there are those things about the story that are sorta...left out about secondary characters. The characters are also too easy to find, in number 2 the characters are well hidden and unless you knew the story-line well, you would never find them (like Kinnison and Mukumuku).
Okay, so what if there are 1 or 2 flaws, it's a RPG. What did you expect. Unless you're one of those annoying people who get walk-thru's this game will keep you busy for months. Even though you've probly play through it once, you'll quickly find yourself trying to find those characters you didn't find the first time around. A major graphics jump since the days of Viktor and the sweet little Pilika but a lack of Character History and easily found characters need to be eliminated for Suikoden 5 to score full points.
