You know what, I fricking really like this game. It's been on my mind a lot. Suikoden is a very barebones JRPG but that's the charm of it. In my OG review I talked about how I like a lot more depth in my video games and yeah I still do but something about how simplistically grand this game was and 1 single huge moment in the story really won me over after the fact. I also really love empire evil stories. You know there's something about the battle systems here that I really liked, I thought it was pretty fast except for certain slow spell casts near the end and I loved how much I could switch in other characters and how useful some were compared to others. I thought how the level scaling worked was so genius with having to recruit and even just trying out certain units made the process of trial so fast. to others this might be a massive turn off but there are literal game mechanics that you can miss out on if you don't go out of your way to recruit certain characters I find this aspect kinda 4th wall breaking and very funny. My only MASSIVE regret is that I deleted my save for Duckstation and I was never able to go back and recruit all the characters for myself.
If you are looking for something engaging, different, and EXTREMELY CHARMING. PLEASE CHECK THIS GAME OUT. AND I CAN NOT WAIT TO PLAY 2, 3, 4 AND 5
Wish me luck on getting a physical for this game for a good price... and maybe 2??? idk if I wanna drop 500$ on 2 yet :s
I wanna talk about spoilers now.

I don't know WHAT happened but OH MY GOD I HAVE SUCH A MASSIVE CRUSH ON GREMIO LOL. He's like this mom dude who really cares about Tir and I just thought he was so fucking cute the entire time, and I really think this game used his death to a HUGE advantage. The game really felt different post his death and I think that part of it really comes down to the genius decision to make Tir subtly upset by it and The new main base music (THIS IS MY FAV SONG IN THE GAME I LISTEN TO IT EVERYDAY) His death made ME feel like I lost something AND I needed to finish this game for him. I love how recruiting all the characters brings him back to life and you get the really sweet ending picture with him. At the end of the day this game really pulled on my heartstrings.
Gremio is peak.
