The 90s were prime time to establish aJRPGseries.
It was Konami’s hat thrown into the ring of a genre dominated by Square.
The Suikoden series was first launched in 1996 in the west and quickly gained a cult following.
We take a look at the best games in the series!
Let’s find out.
If you’re looking for a challenge, you might select Hard difficulty.
This decades-old company has had their fair share of low-key hits.
No more dashing in silence: the new ambient noise sounds nice and believable.
6Saving
Back when Suikoden debuted, autosaves were barely even thought of.
Save points in the original were few and far between, and losing would mean tons of lost progress.
This has been mitigated by someone in the HD remasters, with the game autosaving regularly at certain points.
Transferring save data also gives you the ability to acquire a secret character, the son of Teo McDohl.
With HD graphics, however, come sleeker interfaces: the UI has been completely overhauled in the remasters.
If you wish, you’re able to adjust the opacity of the UI.
Characters' portraits have also been completely redrawn, giving them beautiful new HD sprites to signify their faces.
The UI overhaul casts the entirety of both games in a new light.
A lot of great turn-based RPGs came from Japan.
Here is a look at just a few of the best, ranked!
2Quality Of Life
The quality-of-life updates to Suikoden 1 and 2 are comprehensive and incredibly welcome.
Autosaving and auto-battling aside, even navigation has been made much more intuitive.
Given that the original Suikoden was among the earliest JRPGs on the PS1, it’s rather dated.
The HD remaster gives it some much-needed updates.
These games really needed a breath of life.
The pixel sprites have been preserved in the overworld and combat, but the character portraits have been retouched.
All of this, of course, is rendered in gorgeous HD with widescreen support.
