![]() ![]() It’s worth the persistence of playing through the beginning as once that’s over you are handed a very deep story with a great cast of characters.īattles are imported in Suikoden V and you’ll be having a lot of them, the encounter rate for the random battles is pretty high. That would be all fine but the game does it at such a slow pace, you won’t actually fully get into the action and once the story eventually kicks off you’ve probably played around 6-7 hours already, it takes that long before Suikoden V ups the tempo and the story’s twist and turns kick in. The beginning of the game has a lot of story telling, it’s basically showing the player the tradition of the country and filling in some back-story events. After one of the nobles’ sons wins, problems start arising for the Prince and a war begins to break out between two of the most powerful nobles in Falena, The Godwin and The Barows. The Royal family hold a tournament called “The Sacred Games” which the winner will marry into the Royal Family. The Queendom doesn’t allow the males to take the throne, so his young sister, Lymsleia is the next in line. Players are given the role of the Prince of Falena, a 16 year old who is the eldest child of the royal family. The story takes place 10 years before the events of Suikoden I in a region called the Queendom of Falena. Fans will be happy to know that Suikoden V is better in pretty much every direction than IV, from storytelling, characters and graphics. Suikoden V has set to return to its roots after some changes in the 4th instalment didn’t meet with expectations with the fans (Four players in a party instead of six, artist style). The stories usually consist of civil wars and aren’t your typical ‘saving the world’ adventures you generally find in most RPGs out there. The games are always set in the same world, just at different time periods and regions. The series since then has had a well known trademark of having a cast of 108 characters to recruit throughout the entire game. ![]() The Suikoden franchise was one of the first Japanese Role Playing Games to hit the ever so popular PlayStation system back in 1996. ![]()
