Suikoden IV previews

I found that Suikoden IV fits into the whole Suikoden storyline perfectly with returning characters, ancestors of characters in later Suikoden games, new runes and mysterious characters..

However if i were to play this game for the first time with no knowledge of the suikoden series what so ever i would probably have found it quite odd and confusing. But yeah as i said it fits into the Suikoden world perfectly.

Well what can i say about Suikoden IV umm it was interesting and to play, the graphics have changed from 2d to 3d which is good but worst of all the game is based on water and water army battles.

Yes this Suikoden is different from the other Suikodens that i have played where it was based on land but yea i guess they tried to change it a little but travelling on the sea all the time is so annoying.

They have changed the usage of 4 players instead of 6 which is dumb and they dont have unites anymore just combo attacks which you can level up. There is nothing new in the battles either which i find really boring.

The storyline was good but the game was so short and yea you dont get the feel with the characters anymore cause theres nothign special about them, theres just not that suikoden feeling.

But Overall i found the game great in some areas like the character voices in the game the graphics and the music but anyways just give it a try.

If you liked the previous suikodens you might like this one.

Plays more like a side story. It takes ages by boat anywhere. Characters are not very memerable Not a bad game but not great either. Not very long either which is good (approx 30hrs)

graphics…ok lead character (you)…looks like a human from the pokemon universe story…boring very easy game and probably the shortest suikoden i've played

very disapointing for the suikoden franchise
