Which is better!? I don't know, i can't decide. Err, I mean Xenogears.
Don't make me choose. ;_;
*shoots self so he doesn't have to choose*
That's better.
If you've played Suikoden, get Suikoden II. If you haven't, get Xenogears.
Suikoden II hands down.
I hate Xenosaga, and I like Suikoden II.
>>> I`ve never played Xenosaga but futuristic stuff doesnt appeal to me..
He said that he meant to put down Xenogears, if you read his post.
I haven't played either through, but I do own Xenogears. I've heard a lot more about Xenogears being a great game and almost nothing about Suikoden II.
Suikoden II is the best RPG ever made. Period. I know plenty of people that have played it, and I honestly don't know anyone that doesn't like it.
For Xenogears, you either love it or hate it. I, personally, don't like it.
Suikoden is the best RPG series, hands down.
thanks for changing title. I am stuck, i can't decide. What an odd set of circumstances that i have presented to you.
Suikoden is winning the poll. :p
I've never played the Suikoden series, but I really want to. I absolutely love Xenogears, though. I really don't see how anything can top it ('cept FF7, of course).
Suikodens' stars rock! Xenogears boooring////
Well, either way, I'm sticking with Suikoden II.
Suikoden II is alright. It's not great. The best part of the game is Luca Blight. After that's over and done with nothing really motivated me to keep playing (except the Neclord Battle Theme that song is SO DAMN SWEET)
Xenogears was excellent. Wonderful story. I didn't care much for the battle system or the gears.
This is what it comes down to for me:
Xenogears storyline
VS.
Luca Blight and the Neclord Battle Song
Man, I havnt played a Suikoden game, and only played Xenogears. So Im biased towards Xenogears 100%. :D
I haven't played the Suikoden games, but I'vw played and own Xenogears and its a great game...I luvs it.
Now I want to play the Suikoden games but unfortunately they've been banned here so I can't until I move. :(
Luca Blight > all.
Xenogears :)
Suikoden = Linear
Xenogears = Curved
therefore, being a fan of curved storylines, I go for Xenogears, tho Luca Blight > All
*I AM THE CONTACT!!!*
Grahf > Luca Blight
I haven't played Suikoden II yet (I haven't won the lottery so I can buy it), but everything is less than Grahf.
"Hahahahahaha, die pig!!!!!" *kill*
Luca Blight > all
*spoilers ahead*
Well, Luca Blight's the only human character I know that have to go through 18 people, dozens of arrows and a one-on-one fight with the main character in order to die. Best thing is that he has no True Rune or special powers on him...
Grahf is just...powerful :P
That's total bulltrout. Sorry, but it is. Saying Suikoden II has a completely linear storyline is like saying Lunar SSSC's plot is too prosaic. None of the plot twists are of the size of Xenogears's, true, but there ARE plot twists, and the story is much more complicated than on the surface. Also, if you played Suikoden first, the plot development of Suikoden II is that much more rewarding.Quote:

I suppose the Beast Rune doesn't qualify then?Quote:

He didn't have the Beast Rune "equipped" to him while you were fighting.
(SPOILER)The Beast Rune was passed down the Blight family, and I believe it's actually sealed into the Blight Castle(L'Renouille). Ol' what's-his-face unseals it at the end of the game - hence, the final boss battle. And earlier, Luca Blight had unsealed it to ravage Muse.
That's the only explanation I could think of, anyway.
Yeah, the beast rune requires a blood sacrifice before it does anything. So he has to have his strength in order to slaughter enough people for it.
That's a much better explanation than what I'd thought of (he had it, was able to use it, and didn't use it). Fair enough. ;)Quote:
