This is an impressive accomplishment by the team behind the game. Thedragon quest game loop has been pretty much the same fordecades. DQ is able to make a traditional simple turn based rpg packaged into a masterpiece. Also a very long game which I personally like. 200 hours to get through all of the games content and I was sad when it was over. Pretty good for a game that plays the same as a game from 97

Best JRPG of all time.Debatably best game period. Don’t research this game. Just play it and enjoy the first playthrough that I wish I could have again. Played for the first time in 2024 and it felt more polished than any 2d game I've ever played including the new ones.

There is a lot of hype surrounding the Suikoden series and the first entry starts off strong, but not without flaws. This game shoots for the stars and only comes up short in a few areas. I was not able to fully support the decision making of the protagonist at times. The plot is not very compelling and there are too many characters for many of them to get relevant plot developments. I would say this game is overrated but not by a lot. It is a less compelling version of the first lunar. I can tell that the second game is going to be great. This formula is great. The execution was iffy. I am excited to play the second game. I would not replay this one again. Very fun if you love JRPGs. Skip this game if you are experimenting and you are just getting into jrpgs.
