Super Mario RPG and Barkley Gaiden.
souless vs souless
Runescape
idk I never played Suikoden. Should I?
Yeah but start with 2, 1 won’t hook you
2 is garbage, 1 is where it's at.
2 is everything 1 wanted to be. 1 just gives you the runaround every fucking battle.
>Ok, now here's how this battle system works...
>But this battle is unwinnable because the enemy deployed <bullshit>
>Alright, now you have <counterbullshit> so this time, the battle is unlosable!
>Ok, now here's how THIS minigame works...
>Move this guy here... and this guy here...
>You won!
LET ME PLAY THE FUCKING GAME
You should play this version
https://cdromance.com/psx-iso/suikoden-hard-mode-hack/
The original game is piss easy
Suikoden 1-3 are all worth playing but like
said, start with 2. You don't need context from the first game to understand the second, there's just a some returning characters and some references.
If you really like 2 & 3, skip 4 (its dogshit) check out 5. It's a different writer trying to recapture the magic of 2 but it's not bad.
I don't know why people are so hard on 4 but give 3 a pass. The whole "Six-man party but you can only control three of them while the AI does whatever it wants with the others and also spells have AOE that will hit your own guys but you have no way to reposition them" bullshit is worse than any part of 4.
Only if you've played all other JRPG's and you're desperate for more. The first 2 are the epitome of generic.
Trails in the Sky (the first two) are the peak of dialogue heavy RPGs
Yes and? That game is from 2004 and most dialogue comes from le ebin npc changing dialogue after each cutscene.
Suikoden II is better in every regard except pacing & music, so Chrono Trigger.
This, suikoden is bloated due to having so much in it. All 120 characters have a fully fleshed out arc, and you are expected to do everything in it. So it moves at a snails pace. Chrono Trigger has a streamlined plot that moves very fast.
Sounds like I'd get a better experience if I just play Octopath.
Chrono Trigger was just made from the unused content from Secret of Mana, so basically it's a rich man's Mana game
It isn't btw.
No chance, Secret of Mana was considered a masterpiece when it came out and they literally had to remove all of the story and characterization since the SNES couldn't run it, they made 3 different games based on what was removed from it. If they delayed it for the Playstation it would have been the best game ever
Suikoden 2 does absolutely nothing better than chrono. This is a bait thread anon.
Yeah Pacing is one of the most important aspects of writing and it's the one thing idiots don't pay attention to - especially with Chrono Trigger.
Both suck.
Play some actual video games.
like...?
idk
In the same year that this shit was released, there were great games like Fallout 2, Half Life, Baldur's Gate, Thief and Commandos. Play them if you haven't already.
All that jrpg and jap shit gets really pathetic when you compare it to games from the same year.
Chrono Trigger is better than all of those except arguably Baldur's Gate
>Chrono Trigger
Nah, it's shit and I honestly feel sorry for the people who played it when they were kids instead of actual games.
>Fallout 2
Base-
>Baldurs Gate
Nevermind
Chrono Trigger is the only RPG I could ever finish. so... thatann24
If suikoden 2 was on the SNES, it wouldn't even hold up against the following:
FF4/5/6
Chrono
Mario RPG
Earthbound
Lufia 2
Robotrek
Solid Runner
Dragon Quest 3, 5 and 6
Treasure of the Rudras
Mystic Ark.
The fact that it's a full generation ahead and still not as good in terms of music/gameplay/design/writing etc as those is pathetic.
FF5 sucks and i'm sick of people shilling it. Though you are right. Lunar Silver Star and Lunar Eternal Blue mog Suikoden and Chrono Trigger btw
>Lunar Silver Star
That game was a generic shounen anime, yikes.
Right has more significance because is a much older game and improved the formula by quite a lot. Every aspect is polished, music is excellent. Left just did everything really well but did not do much to push the genre forward. The only thing left has over right is a more coherent narrative and more mature and grounded setting and themes.
If this question was asked when I was younger I would say right. But if held at gunpoint right now and was forced to make a choice I'd say is a toss. I have more nostalgia for right but when I played left a few years ago I was left in awe. How could have I missed on such a terrific game when all I did during the PS1 gen was play Jrpg's? But what is even worse is how little attention it gets compared to other much more inferior games like Xenogears or Legend of Dragoon.
