have you bought anything yet? sorry, i just skipped like every message here, but if you haven't, LOD is verrry long, and it has got some parts of the game that really piss you off! but the fight scenes are excellent! anyway, go with suikoden 2 don't bother with any of the others! but thats just my view, if your into sprites then go for it. if you can get your hands on an snes emulator, go and download bahamut lagoon, you'll never look back again!
