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.
If you’re familiar with the suikoden series or a fan of turn based Jrpgs you’ll feel right at home. While more than a few aspects of suikoden 5 have been lifted from suikoden 2 & not reworked such as RNG(randomly generated) based character recruitment or the far, few specific character recruitment quest, & lack of fully viewable world map suikoden 5 makes up in relateable & likeable characters & dramatic storytelling. A Fantastic entry in the series!

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.

Suikoden V may start out a bit slow, but don’t be fooled by it. As you get a bit farther into the game a great story unravels and you find yourself playing a fantastic game that is up there with Suikoden 1 and 2. The duels and war battles are well designed as well as the famous suikoden 6 player battle system with new multiple formations. They certainly brought this game back to the roots and is a must play for suikoden lovers and RPG lovers in general.

SO much better than S3 and S4, but not quite as good as S1 and S2. I’m not finished with it yet, but I’m really enjoying it.

I have loved all the suikoden games.I have the first thru the fifth.I especially like the game play and the characters in this one.I also like that you can make orbs and build your skills(great touch)There really isn’t anything i don’t like about this game.The characters have personalities and a great range of indivituality.Love the battles too.Rune archers,infintry,calvery and lots more.Sea and land battles that you have to use your head to win.Shopping,treasures,trading,prizes for winning battles and alot more pleasent surprizes on your journies.If you decide to get this game in my oppinion you won’t be disappointed.HAPPY GAME PLAY!
