Because collecting 108 people is so much fun

People need to play the first one too though, dunno why that's always ignored.

i agree with you user, II is the true masterpiece, but I is part of its greatness.

now i want to play that again

what's the good playstation emulator these days?

Suikoden II is one of the best jrpg of all time.

Suikoden II, Chrono Trigger, FFVII in this order.

I have both on ps3 and i think it was worth every cent

they all work. its a ps1 emulator. not a ps4 emulator.

Get a PSP, they're cheap and emulate 1:1 all the psone ISO

i wish i could know why its so underrated.
im really sad we will never get another mainline suikoden, there were so many plot possibilities

1's translation is pretty rough. But I love it. It got me into the series and Into a World of Illusions is my favorite song from the series.

Honestly the best writing in a JRPG to date.

Is it? There's the occasional typo, but nothing seemed that bad beyond that.

Pretty sure some lines are skipped entirely resulting in entire conversations being thrown off.

i never had so many feels in a game, i couldnt stop smiling when nanami came back

It's so jarring. Despite the player collecting characters like they were Pokemon, it never once felt tedious or had tons of point of no return bullshit. The castle growing as you collected more people also made it seem like all the effort was worth it. Also for the love of god, When are we gonna get a Suikoden game involving Harmonia?

The writing is typical of SRPG's like Tactics Ogre or Final Fantasy Tactics.

>When are we gonna get a Suikoden game involving Harmonia?
>tfw the creator mentioned how the series was supposed to end with every nation of the world teaming up to bring down Harmonia

the real question is where to find a working playstation emulator and saga frontier rom.

>ywn bring down Hikusaak and his army of True Rune-equipped clones
>or get to see Lazlo use the completely unrestrained Rune of Punishment's power since it's in Forgiveness Phase
>or see what the fuck is up with the Sindar
>lmao Windy and Leknaat

feels bad, mang

Harmonia literally did nothing wrong.

they also should elaborate more yuber x pesmerga story

>STILL don't know what the fuck Yuber's Eightfold Rune does beyond the fact it's a True Rune

gosh dangit

Luca Blight was amazing, despite his only goal of wanting to watch the world burn, he was just so damn entertaining whenever he showed up on screen and it was a satisfying way to end and such a great arc only to find out that this was only the halfway point of the game. The beautiful spites, rune/unite abilities, comfy OST, non cringe/animu tier writing (for a JRPG anyway), honesty makes this game a 10/10. I'm so fucking mad I never played this as a kid. Same with Chrono Trigger.

Fuck you, OP for making me feel feelings.

>>or see what the fuck is up with the Sindar
So supposedly there was a "leak" of what the ending was supposed to be

>Runes are actually parasitic and are draining the life force from the world
>Sindar slowed this down by destroying the main rune which became the 27 true runes
>Luc found out about this which is why he destroyed his rune

"Owned by Yuber, no-one knows what powers this rune may hold. Scholars argue that Yuber's affinity with monsters (summoning, for example) and the power of teleportation is dervied from this rune, but no-one is certain."

got this from suikosource.
Pesmerga was always my favorite character, i really wish we could see more of him

also

>Pesmerga and Yuber's final Duel
>Riou unleashing the Rune of beginning in its complete form
>Viktor coming out of retirement to show his usurper how to use the sword
>Keikaku upon Keikakus

But TO and FFT were considered 10/10 writing and not typical at all in comparison to other JRPGs.

II's castle was maximum comfy especially with all the random character placements and events. It feels lived in. Worst castle was IV

How could you not love Millie?

That isn't Vicky

>remembering some guys in your castle getting spooked out by Pesmerga, saying he never seems to ear or sleep
Were him or Yuber even human? I guess we'll never know now.

user, what makes me sad is the fact that games these days dont have the same atmosphere psone jrpgs had.
Thats something perfect 60 fps and graphics cant make happen

thats not how you spell Oulan

SRPG's are typically aimed at older audiences so better writing is the norm.

what?

best girl coming trough

anyone knows what that konami heritage survey was about?
I hope people voted for suikoden

>Which was the best psone JRPG

TO MY SIDE, MY NOBLE EINHERJAR

What is so great about it? Heard it wasn't much different mechanically to the first game outside of being able to equip a few more magic runes to your guys for a few more spells.

I thought the first game was pretty average. Didn't offend me but it doesn't hook me to want to play the sequel, especially if the sequel is very similar mechanically.

the sequel has much better OST and a great overall atmosphere. you really get attached to the characters and the events brings you them feels.

also, Luca Blight is the greatest villain ever.

ALSO ON THE PSP FOR WAY CHEAPER!!!!

Valkyrie profile, isnt it?
Never played, what is so good about it?

A cool story and OST is good and all, but I need things to fiddle around with in a 20+ hour game like interesting combat, character growth, or customization and the first game didn't offer any of that to me and was fairly bare bones.

You should kill yourself for asking such questions.

The combat and story is great, plus OST is top tier.

10/10 pokemon voice acting

youtube.com/watch?v=6amnjy-JPOA

I was gonna say Grandia but it's on the Saturn as well.

I'll go with Wild ARMS 2 because it's hype as fuck. Shame about the hilariously bad translation, though.

Sounds like I missed out. What's the best way to play this game now?

customization is better than the first, but not that much different. The game difficult is a bit higher and war battles are much better.
its pretty fun trying to gather all 108 stars, since they really change the game plot (it was very unexpected for me by that time)

>10/10 pokemon voice acting

FIRE STORM!

What faggot calls it a psone

loved this OST, is this game on the PS store?

kek

It should be.
Get the PSP version if you have one.

PS1 version is literally better.

i play it on the ps3

>playing it as a kid
I played it as a kid, and while I love it to bits, there's no way a kid can truly appreciate everything about it. There's a LOT of adult themes in this game. Like Luca's mom being raped, Rina blowing the border guards etc...

man, i had almost forgot about this.
I got confused by the time thinking if the game really meant this, kek

Why is Hai Yo cooking near the pond?

>I'm so fucking mad I never played this as a kid
Same here, never even knew there were Playstations when I was a kid so I missed out on a shitton of old games. Still, I'm glad I picked up both the first and 2nd games on Vita.

I bet you watch cuckold porn faggot.

>ctrl-F
>no Xenogears

GOD FUCKING DAMN IT I HATE THIS BOARD. YOU ARE ALL UNDERAGE FAGGOT FUCKS. KILL YOURSELVES.

It isn't a good game.

Its halfway complete user.

I love the game too but its time to let go.

IT'S THE BEST JRPG EVER MADE YOU FF8 FANBOY FOREVERALONE VIRGIN

i like suikoden 2 and ff8, what now faggot

I don't even like FFVIII. Xenogears is still a bad game. Maybe if you like visual novels it is good but as a game it fails.

i like xenogears, but suikoden is better.
sorry user

The only reasonable response would be to tell you "stop playing mediocre games."

>GUST OF WIND DANCE

Jowy was an ass the entire game.
I had no idea you're supposed to make up with him to get the good ending. Made no sense.

Otherwise it's a pretty great game. but suikoden I is secretly the best suikoden

No game series has ever immersed me as much as Suikoden has. Suikoden was the first game I played on our PS1 and the first and second are my favorite games of all time.

Wrong thread but Legend of Dragoon is also god tier.

When I first played S2 when it came out I pretty much rushed through the game that by the time I came up to the Luca boss fight, I got my shit pushed in 3 times in a row.

Even with a mediocre CD2 it's better than anything else

pSX emu has a couple of freeze places, mist boss, dragon skeleton boss.

Another fun jrpg I liked was Legend of Legaia

>108 characters to collect
>most of them are reskins, NPCs that do nothing or have shit stats and use generic non-named weapons to signify their uselessness
>combat is so otherwise so easy that it feels like the game plays itself
>tactical warfare looks promising but is actually 100% railroaded

Suikoden 2 is trash.

is luca blight the only legitimately insane villain to be sympathetic?

but he's right, the PSP version is a port of the japanese version, which had a lot more glitches than the localized version which came out on the PS1.

A few years ago i got pretty jrpg crazy and have played through like 150+ jrpgs up to now. I was really looking forward to playing the ps1 jrpgs but they're kinda shit for the most part. There's definitely some gems like this, but a lot of it is boring. The ps2 jrpgs i played were much better.

Suikoden I was literally a beta for Suikoden II. Konami had the idea for S2 but realized they needed a trial run because they had never made an rpg before.

My favorite JRPG on the PS1. I haven't played all the PS1 JRPG's but I have played a decent amount but they don't manage to get as fun as this game outside of Vagrant Story.

No. Luca Blight's backstory is established in the material outside of the game. In game he's just a psychotic Lu Bu clone without any context. An extremely overrated character. If you want a sympathetic villain then look at actual good characters like Irenicus.

>rina this slutty
>Ellie is pure as snow and wants MC really badly but never steps out of bounds

I like to think she went to find him after the true ending

>actually good characters like irenicus
muh sister

>final fantasy 7, 8 and 9
>wild arms 1 and 2
>suikoden 1 and 2
>legend of mana
>dragon quest 7
>xenogears
>chrono cross
>parasite eve
>saga frontier
>lunar 1 and 2
>grandia
>alundra
>breath of fire 3 and 4
>legend of legaia
>legend of dragoon

now you tell me modern jrpgs better than these.
you can thing ps2 jrpgs are better, but ps1 arent shit at all

>Jowey gets to bring the fucking princess he's banging, on top of Nanami having a thing for him, but Riou doesn't take Ellie with him
I was legit mad.

Suikoden II is god tier

I also liked to play Legend of Legaia and Alundra

>final fantasy 7, 8 and 9
Franchise undermined by out of touch middle aged men

>wild arms 1 and 2
Dead

>suikoden 1 and 2
Dead

>legend of mana
Dead

>dragon quest 7
Still alive, thankfully

>xenogears
Trash and dead

>chrono cross
Dead

>parasite eve
Thrid Birthday and Square Enix being retards yet again killed it for good

>saga frontier
Dead in the West

>lunar 1 and 2
Dead

>grandia
Dead

>alundra
Dead

>breath of fire 3 and 4
Dead

>legend of legaia
Dead

>legend of dragoon
Dead

But yeah, these are all so great. They certainly stood the test of time.

So are we all in agreement that the PS1 is the king of JRPGs? The SNES and PS2 have a lot of classics of their own, but PS1 just hits the perfect balance between the 2, and has a lot more good ones in my opinion.

...

>Legend of Legaia
I had the demo disc and loved it but never got the full game.

I guess nothing's stopping me now since I have a PSP with CFW, but I feel cheated that I didn't get to play it in its prime

so CODs are better games cuz they sell better and can stand the test of time?

Alundra is fucking great.

Especially the music.

Still holding out on SaGa: twitter.com/SaGa25kawazu/status/846711752410640384

Except that CODs sales sharply dropped.

Or did you not want to mention that because you'd have nothing else to argue with?

so comfy man

>TORNADO FLAAAMMEEE

Daily reminder that the bad end is the better ending.

Consistently getting sequels doesn't make a series good.

I'd rather have a dead franchise like Legend of Dragoon than a shambling corpse kept alive by poorly selling half-assed games.
