Another one I just thought of, the first ten hours of Suikoden V. This game takes a very long time before it removes the rails and let's you do all the stuff you like about Suikoden, and I know a lot of fans who criticize this part. Honestly though? I think the opening sections are some of the best since it really ingrains you into Falena's politics so the whole conflict makes sense. It also had the funness of introducing a bunch of character's you would recruit later and not make them feel like one note wonders like in Suikoden 4.
