    Snowe is a well made character but he's a wussyboy. (SPOILER)Plus he backstabs you, I hate characters who star off as the hero's friend but then betray you.

    Snowe's like Jowy except nowhere near as cool.

    I saw it today at Blockbuster, for 20 bucks. I got Suikoden IV instead though.

    I'm picking mine up early february. IDK how it rates to 1,2 or 3, but I try not to compare until the game is fully over.

    My bro got Katamari and I watched him play it for 15 minutes before my brain oozed out my earhole. The game is probably the most stupid thing I've seen in years. My IQ dropped like 40 points trying to understand the concept of picking up thumbtacks, fences, cows and houses to remake the sky. I think the Japanese invented some really potent new marijuana and that game is the sole product of it. Much like the smurfs and snorks of the early 80's.

    Actually, if you can buy stuff on ebay you can get it. Tons of people are already selling their Suikoden IV games and you can probably get it for abut 37 dollars if you hurry.

    Getting my copy sometime this week. I hope they didn't screw up like what they did with Suikoden 3, but I got the feeling they'll do something promising this time.

    Are you nuts? Suikoden III was an awesome game!

    Worst. Suikoden. Ever. That's all I have to say now.

    You're crazy. This is probably the 2nd best Suikoden I'd ever played. The only flaw that I noticed is that the hero has almost no background.

    ...I guess that's only a minor technicality?

    Yes, Suikoden IV is very easily the worst Suikoden ever made. It's still a pretty good game, but it doesn't have the magic of the first three.

    The Hero is NOBODY. He has quite literally NO development. The "silent protagonist" did not work in S4, because he had no one to speak for him. In S1, there was Pahn and Gremio and everyone else who regularly talked for the hero; in S2, there was Jowy and Nanami and others. You get 20 hours into the game and realize there's been no development at all. S3 did not have that problem.

    Also, none of the other characters have any development, either. In S1, you really saw Flik develop, with you-know-who's death. You also saw Gremio and Pahn and many others develop. In S2, there's Nanami, and Apple, and Shu, and many others who also undergo obvious development throughout the game. In S3, all of the three main characters go through massive development in the first three chapters(especially Hugo), as do various other characters. In S4, there's none of that.

    Also, the first 10 or so hours of the plot looked like it was pieced together by a distracted 12-year-old. The reason for you to start recruiting is literally this: the king says, "Hmm...well you can stay in this cave over yonder. There's some people already there. They can join you. Oh, and you can also start picking up other people to join you. No reason. Oh, by the way, then you should go to these ruins over there to learn about your rune." That's it, in the same amount of words - if not less. There's just no catalyst for these kind of events; they just conveniently happen.
