What do you think about these cinematics? How do they compare to the original games?
Oh damn, I’m hyped for this! Loved Suikoden, even Tierkreis.
I can’t wait! Hopefully they’ve included the 1>2 save file loading
I’m just concerned that I simply won’t have the time anymore.
I played 3 and 4 and am confident that I understood nothing and it needs more games to finish the plot even if you collect all of the Pokemans
At this point I’ll be happy to get one completed play through of 1. Every time I’ve started the game and gotten to the army battles something destroys my save file and I have to start over. I stopped trying to emulate it bc of how much of a pain it became.
The first Suikoden is on the shorter side, at least. Should be able to get through it in 25 hours or less.
