Suikoden II for PlayStation 1

Pros: very enjoyable fighting system, good story, pleasant graphics
Cons: a little too close to the original in substance and style, 3D junkies might be turned off

This game, the sequel to the sleeper hit Suikoden in 1996, is one of the only TRUE sequel RPGs for a console system. Unlike the Final Fantasy series which is only really similar in design and name, this game starts basically where the original left off...

Pros: So many controllable characters you'll give God a run for his money.
Cons: Coming out several years after the first installment, you'd think it offer more improvements aesthetically and fundamentally.

“Suikoden spells war”’ is the terse slogan Konami is toting to promote their new game, Suikoden II. But this sequel to the original melee masterpiece also spells love, intrigue, betrayal, and a great game.
Being the adopted son of a late legend,...

Pros: Great storyline & 100+ characters
Cons: not much execpt that it is not exactly FF8 graphics

If you are the type of person that only plays a game based on graphics, than you will not want to pick up this playstation title. But for those of you that appreciate the quality of a well develop storyline than this is a must have.

Graphics-...

Pros: Great story, innovative design, amazing soundtrack
Cons: Substandard graphics, story offers few choices.

Konami took a bold step when they released Suikoden. The PSX's RPG library was almost nil, (at least in the U.S.), and it was a market that hadn't been completely awakened yet. However, the game proved to be a success. Now, with Suikoden 2's release,...

Pros: Returning characters with new combos, clean graphics, improved battle system, so much more that I can't list
Cons: none so far...

This game is simply amazing. Everything that was in the first is enhanced 10x better. The graphics have been enhanced, and the backgrounds are new and have a lot more detail which makes the game cleaner than the first.

The army battle has...

Pros: engrossing story, 108 characters, better army battles
Cons: still very limited secrets

Now adays where it seems that the only RPGs getting major attention are the multi-disc big budget games, comes a huge engrossing adventure that managed to fit onto a single CD. This adventure is called Suikoden 2, and proves that Konami can do RPGs...

Pros: Story, music, etc etc etc
Cons: Two crappy cut scenes mixed in with several good ones

Most likely this is probrably the best game ever made in an RPG format. This game exemplifies doing the right thing in a good rpg. Going with what the developer knows best. This games' strong point wasn't graphics, it was story. This title is just...

Pros: everything
Cons: none

Right after playing Suikoden (1) i was so eager to play Suikoden 2. YAHHH! It's the best. I loved it so much. It's worth playing a thousand times!!!! okay, so maybe not that many times but it is worth playing twice. Most of my friends aren't into...

Pros: too many to disscus.
Cons: none

This is by far the best rpg yet. Trust me ive played all the final fantasy's,breath of fire 3,and lots of others and this is the best.

I got the game for x-mas. I had been waiting for it since it came out. There is alot of people to get to...

Pros: can't get better than this
Cons: none

Konami did an excellent job with this one. Lacking in numbers (of RPGs) Konami makes it up with games like this one. I loved the first game and I love this one even more. Not only is this one a bit more challenging it improved in every feature. Let's...

Pros: Better Magic effects, more side events
Cons: Name glitch

So where do we go from Gregminster? To the Jowston City-State, of course! Mentioned briefly in the first game, it seems that there's a battle for independence being waged in this land. (Sound familiar?) It should, but then again, so should the search...

Pros: Story, Fighting system, How the story mixes with the first Suikoden
Cons: The ending like the original needs more eye candy, the story may not be for people who haven't played the first

Suikoden 2 is excellent. You have to buy this game if you played the first one. The story connects with each other in a way, with returning characters like Victor and Flik. It gives you a rush when you see them in the game after wondering what happened...

Pros: A great rpg game
Cons: its no final fantasy

Don't be put off by the name, Suikoden 2 is the latest from the Japanese developer responsible for some of the finest video games ever created, including Metal Gear Solid and Silent Hill. Suikoden 2 is the latest release, a much-awaited role-playing...

Pros: Great storyline, more characters than you can shake a stick at!
Cons: some of them are insanely hard to acquire

One of the greatest RPGs I've ever played (I've been playing them since Shining Force 2 on the Genesis) it is an excellent game filled with tons of characters to collect, compelling storyline, and simple yet addicting battle scheme.
The storyline is...

Pros: GREAT STORY!!, many mini games and side stories
Cons: not the best graphic

When I first got this game, I heard that there are 108 characters...
Well, I personally thought that it's going to be a bad game, with so many characters. Also the graphics are not so good.

But when I started playing the game, it was...
