It might be the best JRPG ever made, and if not, it certainly deserves a seat at the table with other contenders like Chrono Trigger.

I would be hard-pressed to name a single substantial criticism. Perhaps it's overly linear, with no post-game or side content beyond the well-known goal of attaining all 108 recruitable characters. Suikoden II is on rails, it tells a single grand story from point A to point B, with little deviation.

But is that really a criticism, or just my yearning for more?
