Suikoden (1995, PS1/PSX Gameplay 2020)
2Suikoden is a Jrpg game released in 1995, developed by Konami Computer Entertainment Tokyo, and published by Konami. This series was a massive hit in Japan and has since seen over 6 games released, including a tactical game. The game is loosely based on the Chinese novel Shui Hu Zhuan. The idea of multiple choices and their effects were expanded on later from this game and used for Deus Ex.
What can I say..? this game is one of my favorite PS1/PSX games, back in the day it was the first game I had come across that had over 100 characters to find, collect and level up, that just blew me away. The game's story is fantastic, friendship, town building, betrayal, love, the story has it all, including massive army battles. How they crammed so much into this game is beyond me and it's not just filler it all has some effect in the game.
The graphics today are not great, it really has not aged greatly but it is STILL worth playing because Suikoden is a classic and one of the best for the Playstation. Each magic and skill effect has it's own look and even the UNITE skills all look different, which is great.
The game's music is great and memorable, if you get the chance too.. listen to the OST on YouTube or somewhere it really is great. The sound effects, skill sounds, magic sounds, environment sounds are all unique and are their own sounds, how they managed to cram so much in this game is beyond me.
SO! would I recommend this game today? absolutely YES! this game is a PS1/PSX classis and should most definitely be played by ANY Jrpg fan, so go play it now if you can.
