transience 12/27/19 1:35:27 PM #128:	71. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-SoKbKOa6rg 1996 PS1 I love the first Suikodens simplicity and pace. Everything in Suikoden 1 moves quickly: fights, cutscenes and dungeons. Youre never stuck doing any one thing for more than a few minutes. This is an early PS1 JRPG that feels more like a SNES game with how brisk it feels. Some people might think this game feels a little immature thanks to how light everything is, but not me. Thats because youre always building towards something. In Suikoden, you start out as a relative nobody, slowly building a resistance army, and by the end of it you feel super powerful as your army is mature and ready to crush the Empire. You get stronger, add new characters, your base gets bigger and everything reinforces each other in one giant happy feedback loop. Its really fun to recruit guys. Well, it can be maddening because some guys have really specific requirements, and if youre going for 100% you can always find a way to screw something up. Dont accidentally step on Blackmans crops or you can kiss him goodbye. But overall, this is so much fun. Youll only use a very small percentage of them in battle, but sometimes you can use them in army fights for specific purposes, sometimes you can play minigames, or build an elevator in your base, or just any number of things. That progression is what keeps me coming back to Suikoden 1. Later games have more nuanced plots and bigger moments, but the simplicity of the original along with the ease of play makes this game my clear favorite in the series. --- xyzzy <cite>transience posted [p:932120094] in transience...
