…but I figure it’s a good time to mention a nice website. is THE place for info regarding the Suikoden games, as well as info for upcoming releases, series games not released in the US, and even the excellent novel, “Outlaws of the Marsh” (on which the games are based). No, I don’t work for the website, I’m merely a satisfied customer.It is a shame that the game has been delayed AGAIN (judging from the release date up top; I had heard that it would be here in November, then in January, and now we’re up to March). The game has been out in Japan for some time; Konami is typically bad about bringing this series over (anyone who bought Suikoden II, maybe five of you , may remember the delays and the still-persisting bugs – here’s hoping they get it right), but you can read about the game on the website above.About the game, well, it is set on the Island nations (the home of Amada from Suikoden II), about 150 years before the events of the original Suikoden. You (the main character) are the inheritor of the terrible Rune of Punishment, one of the 27 true runes, but seemingly the worst of the bunch. Sure, the rune gives you power, but at the cost of sapping your life (most runes grant eternal life) until you die, at which point the rune finds another unlucky bearer. I can’t say much more, since I refuse to read through the entire plot summary before I play the game, but if you must know, suikosource is the place to go.Yes, I am culling together info from websites, so don’t.

DISCLAIMER:Before I begin, I should point out that I am biased in that I am a huge Suikoden fan, that I love anything having to do with old fashioned naval warfare, and that my favorite video game ever was Skies of Arcadia. That should be taken into account when reading this review. ^_^INTRODUCTION:Suikoden, as a series, has been around for some time (for those of you unfamiliar with the series). It has not become, nor has it ever truly been intended to be, a mainstream best-shop. It has however achieved “cult classic” status along with the likes of Lunar, Skies of Arcadia, Star Ocean, and other console RPGs which are typicaly well regarded yet which also sometimes lack the critical acclaim and popular success of other AAA titles such as Final Fantasy, KOTOR, etc.Suikoden IV has thusfar received – allbeit not dismal – fairly underwhelming critical reviews, and has been lambasted by fans as being full of small flaws which add up to detract from the enjoyment of the game utterly. Everyone is welcome to their opinion, but I must say that I sharply dissagree with these people.COMMENTARY:The primary flaws attributed to Suikoden IV (sensitive and “unintuituve” ship control, a too frequent enemy encounter rate, a shorter story than Suikoden III featured, the lack of Suikoden III’s “Trinity Sight System,” and an alleged – yet, to me, mystifying and untrue – lack of character development) all fall into the categories of being either a) easily overcome by reading the game manual, b) co.

People have been bashing this game. Just becuase someone gave it a bad review doesn’t mean you have to go into the game looking for promblems. You’ll set yourself up for disappointment. I chose to completely ignore the reviews and judge the game by my own standards. Let me start by saying that I own all the Suikodens and the IV plays like a Suikoden should. The game has its flaws but it isn’t to the degree that people make it out to be. Someone said the graphics suck. I take it that person didn’t really pay attention to the first three. If he had, he’d of realized that these graphics are better than any Suikoden’s ever had. Not saying this is the best Suikoden, but if you truely consider yourself a fan, then you shouldn’t be dissapointed. I’ve seen reviews as low as 1 star. ….. C’mon people, just cause it didn’t knock your socks off doesn’t mean you have to hate like that. Don’t call the game BAD because it didn’t meet YOUR expectations. I’m not far enough to say where this game fits in compared to the other three. But I am far enough to defend it against 1 star rating HATERS. If you call yourself a fan, you can get the game and judge it for yourself. You owe Konami that.

the game was good and had some very good characters the only major problem i had with it is that the main character seem to be like the silent heros from the old days of rpgs meaning that he had no soul or character and didn’t seem to have no character. i mean even hugo, chris, and geddoe have a character but other then the game was pretty good. the voices wasn’t too bad either and the naval battle system was great.

Alright I’m gonna start off by saying I’m a huge RPG fan. I have all the Suikodens, Final Fantasies, Quest for Glories, Chronos, Legend of Dragoon, and I’m very honest with them. There’s some i love (see Suikoden II) and some I wasnt too impressed with (see Legend of Legaia) and Suikoden IV is NOT as bad or mediocre as some magazines made it out to be. I hear a lot of people complain about the towns. Interestingly enough all these people are in their first or second hour. I’m in ONLY the third town and the third town was very colorful and unique. If someone hasnt played enough to reach the THIRD town their opinion on the game and the graphics of towns based on the first one where u spend the first two hours, then they should not be playing RPGs. For those who have played Baten Kaitos and stuck with it past the second town (the first two were nothing special) got treated with unique and amazing towns that were just pure eye candy and for those who played Skies of Arcadia and overcame the blocky, weird characters and two building town at the beginning of the game were treated to one of the best RPGs of that console era. My point is this, Suikoden is a respected trusted franchise for a reason, do not base your purchase on the someone’s experience within the first two hours or even the first five. An RPG is a tale that develops and gets to the point were you feel for the characters. People like Snowe, Troy, and Glen are some unique powerful characters and are all within the first.

This game, unlike Suikoden 2 and 3 is the best addition to the 1st Suikoden! The PS2 graphics add to the fun, and there’s alot of great gameplay to be had! It takes a little practice getting used to maneuvering the boat, and the music while guiding the boat is a little off, but finding out what characters go with others to make special moves is half the fun. There’s alot of untold stories and twists and turns which make this a great game to replay. Once more, after you beat the game, you get access to the full ocean map and the armor which was not equipped on any characters after you beat the game. Just make sure to upgrade your weapons whenever you can, and trade by buying low and selling high. A definite ‘must have’ for RPG players!
