I agree! I played Suikoden 2 as the first and I thought it had the best soundtrack but then I played Suikoden 1 and now I really don't know which has the best OST! Masterpieces!
Suikoden reboot!! I need 108 stars! I think 8 year old me paid 40$ in quarters for this gem. I was looking around the channel and I noticed you didn't have any Legend of Legaia
Absolutely loved this Suikoden review! SuperDerek always delivers such insightful and entertaining content. Can't wait to see more from the #SummerOfSuikoden series. Keep up the great work!
BobSamurai Anime Reviews Hey Bob! Suikoden II is just legendary. I highly recommend it if your stuck in a gaming or anime slump, best of both worlds. later bro
I love your channel. Such an inspiration to this aging 33 year old. I don't play games much anymore, but every time you upload, I get the urge to pick something and play!
What a smooth and relaxing voice. Also nice the top of the head and bottom of the chin are interchangeable. And also a really nice, reasoned review of a very good game.
@@SuperDerek Sorry. Didn’t mean to come across as a snippy commenter. Thanks for a really lovingly put together channel. And, y’know, old skool rpgs, everyone’s a winner. Cheers.
I remember reading about the game in an old vidya game mag back in the day. The sheer number of characters you could recruit caught my eye and when I eventually got around to playing it, I loved it. Easily one of the best RPG series on the PlayStation.
This series review absolutely could not have happened without you. I'm currently playing through Suikoden II on my streaming channel, and I'm going to have to do a really good job on the next review. :)
Suikoden is my favorite game series of all time so I'm excited for the summer of Suikoden. This game will always have a special place in my heart. It might not be the best in the series but it is still gold
I'm about to start it right now and then jump into suikoden II - do you think it still holds up to today? I ask bc I'm a modern gamer through and through (jrpgs being my favorite) but looking to dive into the PS1 JRPG classics
@@mekverseedits its really hard to say. I played them when they first came out so that will always color my opinion. But suikoden 2 is still of my favorite jrpgs ever. I recommend playing suikoden 1 first, it's only about 20 hours. But if you're only going to play one, definitely suikoden 2 is the way to go
@@artemisjr1237 5 was fantastic! Glad I still have my copy. I definitely enjoyed it more than the other PS2 games that came before it. That's a great pet name. :)
I loved this game so much as a kid, I was fascinated by collecting all the characters and I loved the shops and stuff that would open up in the castle. The sequel was also amazing and I fell off after the third game. I couldn't even believe some of the games main characters could be saved and such in the first game. I also thought those different kind of battles were great! Ah the memories!
Yep! And it's not just me covering the Suikoden Franchise this summer. Check out #SummerOfSuikoden on Twitter to get some more info on what to expect. :)
I always hated that rock, paper, scissors mechanic. And yeah, the end battle makes the empire look like the underdog in comparison to the "rebels" with their mounted dragons and ninjas gathering intel :P The most frustrating thing was the one on one battle between Phan and Teo. I had to write down all of Teo's telegraphed phrases just to win and keep Phan from getting killed. Tedium incarnate. While I've always liked Suikoden's politically driven narratives (especially in II and III, with III being marvelously complex and memorable), I never found the first Suikoden's story to be very memorable. It's just the classic rebels versus the empire story, which, as an adult, seems silly since rebellions are always bloody affairs where the revolutionaries usually end up being bigger assholes than the people they're fighting, like the Jacobins.
Luckily during my play-through, my audience was keen to tell me to level up Pahn as much as possible and to get him the best gear before that battle happened. I do like that you can at least get prepped in that way to make that difficult battle a tad bit easier. :)
I had to do the same thing the first time I played Suikoden in high-school. I've played Suikoden II so many times I've lost count, but in the fifteen years I've had a copy of it, I've only played Suikoden twice. But then, I don't have the patience for my J-RPGs that I used to. Looking forward to seeing you cover the rest of the series. I never got around to playing IV and V.
Awesome review, first time commenter on your videos. I'm about to finish Legend of Dragoon soon. After I'm done with that I'll start on a Suikoden 2 rom I've been saving. Can't wait to compare our play throughs. Keep up the good work.
Just got 1 and 2 for the vita ( which wasn't easy) and if the sequel is better than the first ,which it seems to be I'm in for 1 hell of a treat. Absolutely fa fantastic game so far.
Suikoden is one of those rough-arse games which can still stand on its own, and out-shines the later entries, but you can tell it was a fairly amateur effort. Suikoden II tho SUIKODEN 2 THO
A Summer of Suikoden? Sounds like you guys had been reading my diary or something. :P Haha. I love the series and the first game definitely is a big reason why. I've always been a thorough player, so I did manage to gather all the 108 Stars on my first run. And the game had me so invested that I was more than happy to do the hunting. ;) Great video, Derek! Can't wait for more.
Never played any of the Suikoden games, but they do look like something right up my alley, so I gotta check 'em out now. Also, Derek, have you thought about covering some of the Growlanser games? They're excellent.
i remember waiting for final fantasy 7...and i had not played an rpg up till that point. while impatiently waiting i ended up blindly buying this at funcoland to see what the fuss was about...and man, what an awesome introduction to the genre. might have to pop this back in!
I know! It sucks because it's been ready for a little while, but had to wait until the kickoff of S.O.S. The wait for Suikoden II will be much shorter, I promise. :)
SuperDerek RPGs. It s been a while since I got to play one of these games. Here att argentina getting an original Copy of those games were impossible and unaffordable. so we get them by buying a pirate copy of it because there were no games retailers that sold any other thing than mk , tekken or res evil back in the day. Finally I got to play it orginally by buying them in ps classics. money well spent. now im going to japan next year and im planning to pay a visit to mandarake to try to get an orginal copy. Also thanks for remind me about Lunar. You nailed with those reviews man. When chrono cross??haha
Chrono Cross won't happen until Trigger, and Trigger won't happen until I think of something to say about it that hasn't been said a million times already. :-P
The best PS1 games went with detailed sprites (with a few exceptions, of course, and by exceptions I mean Final Fantasy VII ❤) Mega Man 8 and X4, Castlevania: Symphony of the Night, Breath of Fire 3, Suikoden 👍🏼 Just to name a few :]
just download emulator and both games! you can use suikoden 1 save to use it in 2nd game and voila full experience and for free. Plugin a controller and voila
Amazing review, Derek!...although, you could have shown a few more rune magics and Unite attacks... although I do agree that this one with Kai totally rips the game to shreds! The only one I never got to actually finish is Suiko 5, and I can't wait for the rest of your SOS!
Suikoden 2 is still my favorite bec it was perfect in many sense...The battle system was fix especially the War Game , Inventory of Item was expanded more, Combining Runes were worth it, Weapons Enhancement, Duel Fights makes it more intense,Recruiting Characters was more detail and hard to get especially Gordon and Side quest were fun especially If you have the data in suikoden 1 and a Great Villain Luca Blight
Awesome review, first time commenter on your videos. I'm about to finish Legend of Dragoon soon. After I'm done with that I'll start on a Suikoden 2 rom I've been saving. Are you planning on doing a review for Suikoden 2?
That was a very well-made review, and also totally didn't binge a whole lot of your videos. xD Have a question though, have you ever played any of the Legend of Heroes (the Trails series) or Tales of games?
Hey Ned993! I haven't actually played the LoH series, but I do plan on it. I hear great things! Just recently picked up Trails of Cold Steel 1 and 2 on the cheap for PS3, so hopefully that adventure will begin sooner than later. :)
That part where you were flying the big dragon in the world map, was that part of the main story? I don't remember doing that but it was a few years ago when I played. Maybe it's a secret side quest I missed?
Yeah it's part of the MQ near the end of the game, but you don't actually fly the dragon. It's more of a cut-scene when you're transported to a different area.
Great video! I've had the digital versions of 1 and 2 on my PS3 for months now and haven't gotten around to starting them. Do you know what the benefit is of transferring a save file between the games? Or if the save game transfer would even work on the digital version of the games?
I always warn folks about one on one battles... and without giving spoilers... all one on one story battles CAN be won. My first play through I lost a character because it was so hard I assumed it must be a rigged story battle you can’t win... but you can! Lol. So. Just make sure you win all the one on ones
So, I'm going to recommend you give Hybrid Heaven a try. It is an RPG on the N64, made by Konami, featuring a battle system that is basically like taking a 3D fighting game and making it turn-based. And you learn new attacks by getting hit with them, kinda like Blue Magic in Final Fantasy.
@@erika_fuzzbottom I'll have to look into adding this to my collection. I've literally never even heard of hybrid heaven before. Did it get a english release?
Yes, it did. But if you mean to buy the game, definitely look into it, first. It's a pretty slow game, with an emphasis on isolation, and I know not everyone likes that sort of thing.
Touching story, outstanding music, very decent gameplay. Good old days of RPG when Konami still care about RPG genre. One of very first RPG game that success to made me cry along the way.
you really need to look at the Legend of heroes series, omg, SuperDerek, you will love these games, the Legend of Heroes: Trails series needs more fans
First, bitches. Also, last time I was this early, Super Derek was still Lucas in Mother 3. /end stupid TH-cam comment cliches Woo hoo, Summer Of Suikoden! Nice video, D--I don't want to offer criticism, but I feel I have to. This review could have used about an extra five minute in depth discussion about chinchirorin dice strategies and at least a mention about bo instructor Kai's wonderful bald spot.
I have definitely thought about it. If I am going to cover it though, it's only right that I start with Koudelka, which I don't own yet. Also I don't own 2 of the Shadow Hearts games, so I really need to get on that. Maybe I'll keep my eyes out for the series at PRGE this year. :)
Absolutely right. Dragon Quarter is an alright game, but it's by no means a Breath of Fire game, IMO. I have a full review of the game if you're curious. :)
Games like this I would walk around fighting monsters leveling up until I could kill those monsters in one hit or 2 is the time I would move on with story lol.
As far as I know it's only on PS1 and the PlayStation Network. I think that buying the games you like is the only way to show a developer what you are willing to pay for, and the only voice they will ever listen to. That said, who knows if Konami will hear you over the sound of their Pachinko machines these days.
Great review, thx for the suggestion. Finally came to play it myself now. However can anybody understand why this video rquires an adult validation in my country? 😀
Suikoden is one of the best games ever made. I absolutely love it.
Suikoden 1 & 2 are back with a remaster!
Just hearing that opening guitar just makes me feel...home.
You are a master of your craft sir. May the #SummerOfSuikoden bless you!
Detailed sprites for the win! Such an amazing series
The soundtrack is damn beautiful.
I agree! I played Suikoden 2 as the first and I thought it had the best soundtrack but then I played Suikoden 1 and now I really don't know which has the best OST! Masterpieces!
Suikoden reboot!!
I need 108 stars!
I think 8 year old me paid 40$ in quarters for this gem.
I was looking around the channel and I noticed you didn't have any Legend of Legaia
I love Suikoden so much
Really fitting you're doing this review now since I just started playing Suikoden for the first time yesterday.
Absolutely loved this Suikoden review! SuperDerek always delivers such insightful and entertaining content. Can't wait to see more from the #SummerOfSuikoden series. Keep up the great work!
I need a remake of Suikoden 1 and 2. They could even combine it into one giant game.
I just recently found your channel and it is amazing!! I have watched over 20 videos now. Thanks for the great content!
Awesome man, I'm glad you're enjoying yourself. Thanks for the views and the wonderful comment! :)
Awesome review! I watched some of your livestream the other day for s2, I've heard a lot about that game and looking forward to your review of s2 & 3

No kidding!
What a smooth and relaxing voice. Also nice the top of the head and bottom of the chin are interchangeable.

I've never heard anyone complement my vertical symmetry before, but I'll absolutely take it! Thanks for watching 😆
@@SuperDerek Sorry. Didn’t mean to come across as a snippy commenter. Thanks for a really lovingly put together channel. And, y’know, old skool rpgs, everyone’s a winner. Cheers.
I just found this game in a dusty, ancient family PS2 game bin. I never gave it much thought as a child. Might give it a shot now!
Anonymous Sour Cream what did you think?
I love the suikoden series, particularly part 2. I put hundreds of hours into the series as a kid. Great review!
Now we are getting a remaster for Suikoden 1 and 2 in 2023 and I can’t wait!
Your underrated my friend, you always have well put together videos
Really excited to see my favourite RPG series getting the attention it truly deserves. Looking forward to the rest of the reviews.
Beautifully done! Can't wait for the continuation of the Sukioden series..
Awesome! Excited to hear what you have to say about it

Yep! And it's not just me covering the Suikoden Franchise this summer. Check out #SummerOfSuikoden on Twitter to get some more info on what to expect. :)
I love after 20 years, the (best) analogy is Game of Thrones, a series that started a few years before Suikoden. Now both are held in superb esteem!
Just started my video game sleeve tattoo. Of course it has Tir McDohl =)
The music is pure honey on the ears!

buhahaha. i had that trouble as well, but lesson is you weren't ready for it. Simple as that. Level up and put a good armor will make big difference
+Alucard8319
I did level up, dude, and had the best equipment. That fight is still a pain in the ass either way.
Lol
One of my favorites. I’ve heard they made it easy on purpose to focus on the story.

Just got 1 and 2 for the vita ( which wasn't easy) and if the sequel is better than the first ,which it seems to be I'm in for 1 hell of a treat. Absolutely fa fantastic game so far.
amazing review as always Derek.
Suikoden is one of those rough-arse games which can still stand on its own, and out-shines the later entries, but you can tell it was a fairly amateur effort.
Suikoden II tho
SUIKODEN 2 THO
Casp O'Saurus truth.
I liked 1 better than 2. Story was tighter and gameplay didn't feel as grindy imo
And no pressure time like side story for Clive and Elza
Suiko2 is not grindy either.
Gremio (Sorry if I spelled it wrong) character Sprite kind of looks like Bowie from Shining Force 2.
just got a copy from a local thrift store for $1. Cant wait to play.
Suikoden 1 & 2 are back with a remaster!
A Summer of Suikoden? Sounds like you guys had been reading my diary or something. :P Haha. I love the series and the first game definitely is a big reason why.

Never played any of the Suikoden games, but they do look like something right up my alley, so I gotta check 'em out now.
Also, Derek, have you thought about covering some of the Growlanser games? They're excellent.
I actually JUST picked up Growlanser Generations, I'm looking forward to giving them a go! :)
SuperDerek RPGs Dude yes!
Suikoden 2 = best RPG ever.
I think Persona 4 is better but Suikoden is still amazing
theflyingninja1 Golden Sun and Chrono Tigger for me :)
To9 o Golden Sun! Unusual choice. I want to replay that because I remember liking it quite a bit.
Ryan Hatfield Haven't played that. How does Persona 5 compare?
Persona 5 is better in gameplay but Persona 4 has better story and characters.
i remember waiting for final fantasy 7...and i had not played an rpg up till that point. while impatiently waiting i ended up blindly buying this at funcoland to see what the fuss was about...and man, what an awesome introduction to the genre. might have to pop this back in!
Man, the early days of PlayStation RPGs were truly unique!
finally Derek!!! awesome review of one of my favorites rpg of all time!
I know! It sucks because it's been ready for a little while, but had to wait until the kickoff of S.O.S. The wait for Suikoden II will be much shorter, I promise. :)
SuperDerek RPGs. It s been a while since I got to play one of these games. Here att argentina getting an original Copy of those games were impossible and unaffordable. so we get them by buying a pirate copy of it because there were no games retailers that sold any other thing than mk , tekken or res evil back in the day. Finally I got to play it orginally by buying them in ps classics. money well spent. now im going to japan next year and im planning to pay a visit to mandarake to try to get an orginal copy. Also thanks for remind me about Lunar. You nailed with those reviews man. When chrono cross??haha
Chrono Cross won't happen until Trigger, and Trigger won't happen until I think of something to say about it that hasn't been said a million times already. :-P
I played Suikoden 2 last year for the 1st time and it definitely became one of my favourite RPGs.
Great series 😀
@Jin Lee . Technically, everything.
Do the rest of the series!!!!!
Ok! :)
Awesome, I recently started collecting ps1 games and someone mentioned this series to me. Looks fun
The best PS1 games went with detailed sprites (with a few exceptions, of course, and by exceptions I mean Final Fantasy VII ❤) Mega Man 8 and X4, Castlevania: Symphony of the Night, Breath of Fire 3, Suikoden 👍🏼 Just to name a few :]
Derek, are you excited for the new Suikoden releases and possible future for the series?
New SuperDererk vid
I'm in!
Awesome review,. I never played Suikoden 1 but I did played Suikoden 2 lady year and it was great even though I got the bad ending.
just download emulator and both games! you can use suikoden 1 save to use it in 2nd game and voila full experience and for free. Plugin a controller and voila
I wouldnt call it bad ending. Lol. Unless you are actually talking about the true bad ending you can get at half of the game.
I love suikoden. suikoden 2 is my favorite RPG ever right after final fantasy six
Great Video Derek!
Amazing review, Derek!...although, you could have shown a few more rune magics and Unite attacks... although I do agree that this one with Kai totally rips the game to shreds!
The only one I never got to actually finish is Suiko 5, and I can't wait for the rest of your SOS!
Thanks Chrono Pat! I'll do my best to include a bit more variety in the next review. ;)
Suikoden is one of my absolute, all time favorite games, ever, and will always be so
Suikoden 2 is still my favorite bec it was perfect in many sense...The battle system was fix especially the War Game , Inventory of Item was expanded more, Combining Runes were worth it, Weapons Enhancement, Duel Fights makes it more intense,Recruiting Characters was more detail and hard to get especially Gordon and Side quest were fun especially If you have the data in suikoden 1 and a Great Villain Luca Blight
I feel like Suikoden inspired Warrior's Way in Streetpass Mii Plaza.
niiiice! This is one of my favourite RPG's of all time!
Awesome review, first time commenter on your videos. I'm about to finish Legend of Dragoon soon. After I'm done with that I'll start on a Suikoden 2 rom I've been saving. Are you planning on doing a review for Suikoden 2?
I have always heard great things about this seris, and I have the first 2 on PSN so Im going to give ot a try.
love Smt 4!
So did you?
That damn Zombie dragon used to murder me. The nightmare was that I never had a memory card
That was a very well-made review, and also totally didn't binge a whole lot of your videos. xD Have a question though, have you ever played any of the Legend of Heroes (the Trails series) or Tales of games?
Hey Ned993! I haven't actually played the LoH series, but I do plan on it. I hear great things! Just recently picked up Trails of Cold Steel 1 and 2 on the cheap for PS3, so hopefully that adventure will begin sooner than later. :)
Man I lost my save file for this game. I had 107 stars and was at the end. I love this game though.
This was very good thank you
I’m legit about to buy a loose copy on eBay this game is amazing
Nice Review, really really cool
That part where you were flying the big dragon in the world map, was that part of the main story? I don't remember doing that but it was a few years ago when I played. Maybe it's a secret side quest I missed?

My younger brother loves Suikoden
Whoa, ok...the first Suikoden was turn based? Interrrresting. I had no idea!
great episode
Thanks! :)
Never played it makes me wonder though if I should get it or go straight to the second game in the series.
Great video! I've had the digital versions of 1 and 2 on my PS3 for months now and haven't gotten around to starting them. Do you know what the benefit is of transferring a save file between the games? Or if the save game transfer would even work on the digital version of the games?
Amazing work ones again Derek these old classics you can never beat come you do a ff8 review please thank you
Hey Badass! I'll eventually dig into the Final Fantasy series, but when I do it may take a while to get all the way to VIII, but it will happen. :)
SuperDerek RPGs thanks dude I look forward to your work

Kinda sorta, though in this case you choose from a list of attacks instead of pressing button inputs.

I'd love to, but Skies is one of those games I don't own yet. Some day though!

you really need to look at the Legend of heroes series, omg, SuperDerek, you will love these games, the Legend of Heroes: Trails series needs more fans

Thanks Raider! I promise the next wait won't be quite so long. :)

Woo hoo, Summer Of Suikoden! Nice video, D--I don't want to offer criticism, but I feel I have to. This review could have used about an extra five minute in depth discussion about chinchirorin dice strategies and at least a mention about bo instructor Kai's wonderful bald spot.
chinchirorin truly is the heart of Suikoden 1
You are absolutely right. :)
SuperDerek RPGs what happen to your old intro
Hey Derek, great video.
Have you ever thought about doing a video on the shadow hearts series?
I have definitely thought about it. If I am going to cover it though, it's only right that I start with Koudelka, which I don't own yet. Also I don't own 2 of the Shadow Hearts games, so I really need to get on that. Maybe I'll keep my eyes out for the series at PRGE this year. :)
SuperDerek RPGs Great man! I forgot all about Koudelka. We need someone that series some love.
Never played this, always curious of it.
Oh nice a new Tintin video.
Tintin, Larry Butz, Jimmy Neutron, Wakka, and now SuperDerek. I'm proud to stand among these great historical figures as I rock the do. ;)
SuperDerek RPGs best comment I've seen in a while bruddah, you wanna join my blitz team?
You should review shadows of Adam on steam.
I plan to, actually. It'll just be a little while I think. :)
aaaah my childhood
I played the shit out this game!
You sort Breath of Fire: Dragon Quarter alphabetically by D rather than B. I think this shows how you feel about it as a BoF game.
Absolutely right. Dragon Quarter is an alright game, but it's by no means a Breath of Fire game, IMO. I have a full review of the game if you're curious. :)
Personally I pretend this game doesnt exist.
Games like this I would walk around fighting monsters leveling up until I could kill those monsters in one hit or 2 is the time I would move on with story lol.
Love this game. One of the easier rpgs out there.
Can you tell me what platforms Suikoden is on because i don't want to buy a new copy and give money to Konami
As far as I know it's only on PS1 and the PlayStation Network. I think that buying the games you like is the only way to show a developer what you are willing to pay for, and the only voice they will ever listen to. That said, who knows if Konami will hear you over the sound of their Pachinko machines these days.
It's on PSP too ;)
Wait, is his case a two disc case?
Great review, thx for the suggestion. Finally came to play it myself now.
However can anybody understand why this video rquires an adult validation in my country? 😀
Heck yea. Suikoden is awesome!!!
