This is so easy it's a joke. I liked Suikoden V, but it was also so transparently an attempt to recapture the greatness of Suikoden II to the point of blatantly copying some of the beats from Suikoden II in a much more forced and unconvincing fashion (Sialeeds is a poor man's Jowy). If I'm sounding too harsh, I'll pull back a bit and say I think Suikoden V is the second best in the series and has the best war battles of the series. In comparison to the best non-FF game though, there's just no contest.
