CLYVE'S PROFILE

author=Kindredz

author=Feldschlacht IV

While I share the entusiasm, the world of suikoden it's pretty generic on the surface at least until three came out. You have towns, castles, forest, mountains, etc. the same old "medieval" stuff, only places like The grasslands and later most of Falena really do break the mold in my opinion.

That's the thing though; I don't have to be presented with odd and bizarre and weird landscapes to be impressed, that's not the point of why I like Suikoden.

At its face value its similar to most RPGs, magic, castles, dragons, etc etc. What's so interesting about it is how storied and detailed it is, the universes world is so big that every country is big enough to have entire games centered around them, and every piece of land, every character, every dynasty, kingdom, etc etc has its own background and line of important figures and important dates and all of that. It was a blast exploring a different part of the world with every game.

They were doing a great job with keeping up with it all until they just quit after Suikoden V.

3 is my absolute favorite. I would love to live in the grasslands, enjoying nature, fighting the good fight against whitey the Zexens.

Not to mention the fact that 3 had the best characters...
