this game is just simply amazing,the music is unbelievable,the characters,script,places,pacing,control and everything is a perfect 100/100 the best game i have ever played,i was very lucky to have stumbled on it, i liked the ff-series but i didnt care much about the rpg genre in general,then i saw this game in a magazine, i thought another rpg,but could be good. then one day i was bored and i had an idea, i will buy a game i went to a store and looked at the shelf they kept games in,there wasnt much that interessed me i saw this game and thought"ok then...." i bought it and went home and started to play, i was a bit dissapointed at first but then it sucked me in like no other game ever before!!!!! 100/100

Suikoden II is my all time favorite RPG, it has everything you could want in a game like this. The strongest part of Suikoden II (Like 1) Is its Plot which is believable from start to finish and having it work into a land on the brink of war makes it that much more fantastic. The music is fun to listen to while playing, The turn-based battle with 6 characters at once makes the game easier and more fun and definitely collecting the 108 Stars of destiny (108+ if you collect the MukuMuku and co.). The last thing is the graphics which are basic 2D but they are done so well there as appealing to the eye today as they were back in 98 (i think) when it came out.

I highly recommend this to anyone interested in RPG's or compelling games specially since this game is so hard to come by.

Suikoden 2 is absolutely TERRIFIC. I've played it SO MANY times. I can't get enough of it. The story is fantastic & tragic & everything else and is filled with twists and turns. The regular battles are fun. The full scale battles are great, sometimes I play this game just to play the full scale battles. The music is good. It's a game you can get into & feel like you there with everyone like with Final Fantasy 7, 8, & 9. The only flaw this game has is that it was rushed out so some of the dialogue is misunderstood or mixed up. If you've never played Suikoden, I ABSOLUTELY SUGGEST trying this game out even before playing the first one. I played the second one first (not intentionally, it just kinda happened that way) & it made appreciate the first game A lot. It's too bad the game doesn't get more info or story into all the characters. I'll go into more detail some other time or if a lot of people want me to.

Suikoden is the first RPG I have ever played; I was in 5th grade. I remember finding this game in my brother's collection, and I was attracted to the artwork on the cover. My brother didn't trust me with his PS1 at the time, so it took forever to finally convince him to let me play. I remember sleepless nights of sweat dripping down my forehead playing that game; we had no air conditioning upstairs yet. I remember not even knowing what an RPG was until this game. This is my favorite RPG of all time. I love it and will never give it away. I love the artwork, the storyline, the characters, the graphics (even if they are outdated), the side-quests, the mini-games, and the responsibility of finding all 108 characters. All in all, this is a great game. A classic that will be forever enjoyable to play. In fact, I still play it even after I beat it.

Suikoden II (9/10), along with much cleaner and detailed graphics, a better, more compelling and involving storyline, and more intense, harder gameplay, make it a classic RPG surpassing the original and easily earning a place in my top 10 RPGs of all time. (My 6th favourite RPG of all time? Maybe...) Play this game and be glad you did.
