I've still got my original copy, and even at a sale price of £70+ i can't part with it. Sadly my copy of suikoden 2 was stolen, and i really can't afford to replace it. Tierkreis was a big disappointment for me, it just didn't have the charm of the 1st two games.

I like the way you talk fondly of it (it's a marvellous series and anyone who missed it should track it down) I think one of the biggest draws of the series has to be the 108 characters, particularly as they appear in other versions of the game. Which brings a vast amount of familiarity to the series. But I also love the 'HQ' in each game, like the castle in the first, the fact that you can roam around and see all of your team mates busy working away or sparring ready for the next fight. It's a very grown up and "ahead of it's time" game too, with a huge underlying story that spans all of the games, specifically the 27 true runes that appear in each instalment. But the battle system was great, the fact that you had to sharpen your weapons in local blacksmiths was great back then too, quite unique. I'm yet to play the original that I've downloaded from the US PSN store, but I finished it several times 'back in the day' A good tip for people who want to experience the style of game would be to try Suikoden: Tierkreis on DS, although it's dumbed down version, it's still entertaining despite horrific voice acting!

I'm a fan of RPGs, but I have to confess to never having played Suikoden (the PSOne in our house belonged to my brother!). Now I really want to. What better compliment can you have than that? Even to this day, I find it amazing that it had so many playable characters. Certainly beats FF on that score. Great article, Jen!
