The previous game in the series (named Suikoden IV, go figure) was in many ways disappointing. Luckily, Suikoden V rectifies many of the flaws, though it is not perfect. The biggest flaw? Missable characters. If you’re familiar with the Suikoden games you will recognize the game revolves around 108 characters, or Stars of Destiny. In the previous games it took a lot of effort to permanently miss a character – you’d have to choose to execute a character, or tell them to buzz off several times – something most players aren’t going to do without expecting negative consequences. Suikoden V fails in this aspect. There are a number of characters you will permanently miss if you fail to do some minor task at precisely the right time. Consequently I required a walkthrough for most of the game, simply out of fear of missing something that did not appear significant at the time (I call this Final Fantasy X-2 Syndrome!) Another significant problem occurs during the tactical battles. If your unit comes out ahead of a particular skirmish, the enemy unit will flee. Makes sense. Unfortunately they have a way of fleeing in rather silly ways – they will travel a considerably large distance (while everyone else is frozen), through your other units, often stopping next to your own weakened units, who appeared to be safe so far away and behind a wall of defense. Not so much. Other problems include long and frequent load times, random battles (try something new please), unskippable.
Great game!!! Loving it! Suikoden is an amazing series. Each character has their own cool unique backstory!
Many of us love Suikoden for different reasons, and most of those reasons you will find in Suikoden V.For those who love the compelling, sometimes very dark storyline, you’ll find it here. Everything from the pain of leading and losing troops, genocide, and betrayal can be found here. The translation is flawless, and the humor is fresh and had me laughing on more than one occasion.The castle-building is back as well, with new recruits changing the nature of your headquarters, adding mini-games and special treats throughout. The fishing game is loads of guilt-free fun, and there are a number of various other games to play as well.Of course, it wouldn’t be Suikoden without the search for all 108 stars of destiny. Let this be a warning; Suikoden V is much more unforgiving when comes to getting all of the Stars. If you aren’t careful, you can easily miss a crucial star, and worse yet, it can lead to you missing other stars because you needed the first to get the others. This is remedied with a New Game+ option, which lets you carry over skill points, money, and items to a new game after beating it.The music is also worth mentioning. While not as catchy as Suikoden II, which is a virtually insurmountable task, it does hold its own, and is easily better than many RPGs out today.If you are like me and still getting some good mileage out of your PS2, then I highly suggest dropping thirty bucks and purchasing this game. You will not regret it.
Disc plays perfectly. Great game, love the series.
Wonderful game. Had played before. Love recruiting all the characters.
Very late in writting this review but I had to share my thoughts as a fan of the Suikoden series since Suikoden I.Finally! Finally the Suikoden series came back to it’s original glory of having a great storyline and gameplay. The graphics are of an average level for what Konami usually makes and the lenght is also just perfect (average 50-60hours assuming you have taken time to level up and find all the objects and secrets in the game) and also with a New game+ option.The story is set a few years before Suikoden I (about 30 years actually) and includes some recurring characters from the previous tomes combined with new ones. The battle system was nicely fixed (after the bad ones from Suikoden 3-4) and the large army battles were the most interesting so far!It still doesn’t surpass Suikoden II (especially if you have played Suikoden I previous to that) BUT it certainly gets close enough to it in how interesting the storyline can be. Still I wished there would have been something extra from a previous save game, which has been a trademark of the series since Suikoden II.Totally recommended!!
I’m a Suikoden Fan, so yeah, I really liked this game. I wish they would release them all for ps3.
The wife loves it

With 108 characters, a compelling story, solid gameplay and over 100 hours of content, what more can you ask for out of an RPG?

Can’t believe I never found this until years after franchise been dead. This is classic suikoden while premise is always the same it still great one that draws people to it. With 108 characters to recruit and fight in party and the usual great story with some characters having much more depth and feel than first look. Cons is it can be very slow start, game graphics decent but it is getting up there in years now. Some of voice acting can be pretty bad like really bad dubbing. Also no game is worth this shops price but when do find a copy much cheaper it is a fun rich rpg game.

As a long time fan of the series, I loved it! In this game konami got back to the roots of suikoden with many shout outs to Suikoden I and Suikoden II. Far superior than Suikoden III, Suikoden IV. Cannot wait for Suikoden VI!!!! There’s a New Game + mode too which is great for replay potential.

I am only about 50% finished with this game, but already I love it. This game has the old school charm of Suikoden 1 & 2. Unfortunately it has the old school camera angle. It’s not that the graphics are bad, it’s just that at the 3/4 angle view it’s kind of hard to see the detail. You can zoom up, but then it’s hard to get a view of your surroundings. Plus the non-cinematic cut scenes are in the wide angle.So if you like the Suikoden games like I do, this is a must have. Just don’t expect to be impressed with the graphics. Just like getting past the limited battle control of part 3 and the tedious sailing of part 4, it’s well worth the effort.
