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!
