    I came to this video because of the news of Yoshitaka Murayama.. Long live legend of suikoden and eternal thank you for creating this wonderful game!
  • Suikoden changed my life and as a big fan of yours, I am so happy you made this! I watched the Philoharmic Orchestra play a poem to Suikoden Live in October live this year for my birthday. Top 5 moments ever! The music, the characters, the story, just unmatchable! I am hoping 1 day for Suikoden 6. I would love to have you on as a guest on the Miyazaki Man podcast to talk all things games and Suikoden and your channel! Audience of up to 17,000 usually. Keep doing what you're doing, it is great stuff and truly valued!
  • 2 gets all the love and for good reason but I still love the protagonist from 1 and the Soul Eater rune.
  • @johndemler838
    I loved 3. The foray into 3D gave it such charm. The music was great, especially rhe victory fanfare. And I love the Trinity System. I'm actually playing this on ps2 today. 2 had the amazing cooking game, and 1 introduced me to exploiting in-game betting mechanisms. 4 & 5 I don't have fond memories of, but are still worthy of a playthrough. If there are more games, I haven't played them!
  • @gandix5516
    My brother loved 3 the most by a large margin. It might even be his favorite game ever. I loved the story but had it 4th. 2-5-1-3-4. I absolutely loved the story in 5. Fantastic. I spent countless hours reading suikosource in high school n it’s such a shame it ended. I’ve gotten so many people into the series I almost feel guilty 😂
  • @OMGmyFACE
    Suikoden really got me into JRPGs and through some tough times, I'm always revisiting the first two and I spent way too much on the Eiyuden kickstarter. I'll forever love this franchise so much.
  • I've been waiting for this one honestly. Suikoden 2 is definitely the best of the 3 I've played.
  • I don't remember much from when I used to play these games as a kid, but what I do remember is the feeling I felt when I did. I remember Suikoden 2 really making emotional when I finished the game. Ah what a time to be a kid back then.
  • @mister-x2
    Playing Suikoden 1&2 back to back is probably my favorite jRPG experience, and something I did several times because of the games are relatively short. I even tried to play the Suikogaiden visual novels despite not understanding japanese. I have very fond memories of 3 which I found to be very charming, and I liked 4 (despite being probably the lowest rated by fans and me hating maritime settings). By the time I played S5 and Tactics, I was already getting burned out on jRPGs and didn't even finish them. Looking forward to those remasters and Eiyuden.
  • I remember when the 1st one came out. It's one of my favorite games. I can't wait until the HD remastered games come out.
  • @TheOldest
    With how successful Octopath Traveler became recently, it makes me happy that this type of presentation is being accepted and appreciated. I hope that means maybe we can bring back XenoGears and Tales of Phantasia with a similar uplift that keeps a similar presentation. Or just port them.
  • This series and Wild Arms are the games that made me a gamer. I wish they would adapt it to Android
  • Suikoden 4 holds a special place in my heart. I absolutely love tropical settings. Something about high sea adventures brightens my adventurous spirit.
  • I just found out about this series maybe a month ago. I finished one and now I'm absolutely enjoying two. I can't wait to see what else this holds! Awesome time on the video drop for me lol
  • @drewscube
    Thank you so much for this video , suikoden series holds a special place in my heart ❤️ , and suikoden 5 will always be my favorite 😍
  • @blumiu2426
    I remember when a teen playing these games when I had the chance to come across them and wondering how Final Fantasy VII seemed to be the only one most people knew. It always felt like people were extremely limited in what RPGs they played or very specific. Aerith hit people hard while Suikoden had a character have to fight and kill his own father and lose friends. Still undecided if it was the mainstream effect or most passed other JRPGs over, but time certainly did show sprites aged the best while early 3D ventures need a full makeover.
  • @TheZHMusic
    This is amazing - thank you so much! Really informative but also really relaxing to watch 🙂 I really like 5 but 1 is my favourite, I play it every year!
  • Great content here! Been a long standing fan of the franchise since i was a kid and excited to see a breathe of new life into this series. I rank them as 2,1,5,3,4.
  • @redheero656
    I apologize for ending up breaking my original copy of Suikoden II, it was actually played to death.
