Best RM Games you've Ever Played

Oh dear God. Suikoden is a god among RPGs. It's up there with Lufia II, Terranigma, Secret of Mana/Evermore and Chrono Trigger as the best of the best (on my list, anyway).

Suikoden Rant Ahoy!

There are 108 characters, a home base, deep political story, great characterization (for that many characters anyway), at least two different endings (the first two - more for the later ones) and a world history that makes me a very happy nerdette. This is all set in the same world during different times, but including some of the same characters - or descendants of -, nations, relics and general feel.

The first two games are hailed as the best, the third and fifth as pretty damn good, the fourth as something best forgotten or at least consigned to the dark depths of the history it was spawned from. The series also includes two Gaidens based on a certain character who retains a semi-major role in the third game, and a strategy RPG set a few years after the aforementioned fourth game. Also a DS game that had abso-bloody-lutely nothing to do with the other games except the title and the 108 stars of destiny.

There is also three different battle modes - normal monster battles where your party of six kills and maims and have combo attacks and protect close friends when they're hurt. Then there's the duels where the main character goes one on one against an enemy in a battle of rock, paper, scissors. Lastly there's the sometimes awesome war battles. Suikoden I uses a larger rock, paper, scissors system, whilst Suikoden II lets you mix and match your warriors into groups of five to take on the enemy in a strategy-esque way.

Seriously, why aren't you playing this yet?

You can download a version of both games for your PSP if you have one (I think they're about $5-15 each?), or buy them via ebay. Hell, if you can't get them that way, try other ways. You cannot call yourself an RPG gamer if you have never played these games.

Word.


In other news, I'd have to say my favourite RM games would be Heroes Realm, Love and War, Clouded Heart <3, Sunset over Imdahl, Three the Hard Way and War of Two Worlds. And Exit Fate. ^.^
Yeah, story for the win!


See, I wanted to mention Lufia I and II as well, but I didn't think anyone would know what I'm talking about. If peeps never heard of Suikoden, then the odds are the same they never heard of Lufia either. It's a shame, these are great RPG's that the young kids have never played.

Need some thoughts...

You should seriously consider making the menu background using a panorama instead of a chipset.

Looks alright, though.

Actually, it is a Panorama, though the activation buttons (lower right) are chipset.

And maybe less neon colors? IDK, I think its gonna strain my eyes a bit.

I'll keep that in mind, I am a color freak and not everyone agrees with that.

What are you working on now?

As per Max McGee Request, I have the first couple of items to submit:

First is a ship in both Character and Pic form:




And next is a pic of a ship I'm using to scroll in the background:



It's big, but you can magnify it. I'm working on more, but this'll start you off a bit.

NM, I think I finally am getting the hang of it. Sorry for being a pain.

Tell Craze: Why is your RPG Fun?

I guess Ebon Scape has three things going for it, Story, Graphics (I can map, yay!), and Music, though in midi form, the midi's really kick a$$. Though, I think the most important thing is story, which I think I put a HUGE amount of attention into, I only hope others think so.

Whenever I try and submit somthing, or try and get a Avatar Pic, I keep getting this message. ENTER VALID URL

So... obviously I'm messing something up, can someone point me in the right direction?

Proof that RTP's don't suck so long as you know how to map correctly. Grats!

What's Suikoden? Is it some kind of motorcycle?


(Sigh) Hokay, well if no one else will tell you about Suikoden I will. Suikoden is a series of RPG's made from Konami. The story is that of a militaristic one and they did feature some very unique concepts that no other game uses to date, that I can think of. These include a strategy system for moving troops, a dueling system based off of what your foe says, and each one has over 150 playable toons, to either join your party, or help with hero town building.

This sounds more like a stratagy game than an RPG, but it plays more like a typical RPG.

I get a little miffed if people don't know or just bash the game because its my favorite Pro RPG. No other series comes close, not Final Fantasy, not Diablo, not Fallout, nothing, it's just that good. I recommend Suikoden II or even III if you chose to seek out this game. You may have better luck getting a hold of Suikoden III as you can't find Suikoden I or II on the open market. Gamestop can't even convince people to sell their copies. Like I said, it's become a very rare, highly sought after collectible. Suikoden IV was meh, and V was okay, but the first three were probably the best.
