Suikoden 3
Jan. 4th, 2012 04:46 pmThe Glassland tribes and the Zexen Confederacy have come to an uneasy truce, but enemies within and without quickly shatter that to bring about a complex and diabolical plot. Rival protagonists Hugo, Chris, Geddoe and Thomas must uncover the mystery of the legendary Flame Champion and gather the 108 Stars of Destiny before it’s too late.
( Things I like, things I don't, and a labeled spoiler-filled plot discussion that starts about halfway down. )
Overall: Bolster your patience and play this game. Actually, if you’re new to the series, I think you should play 1, 2, 3 and 5 in order. The game system is generally fun and a bit of variety from standard rpg fare; the characters are interesting and often well-developed (especially if you have a favorite and want to read fanfic—there’s a lot of Suikoden minor character fanfic); and the overall plots and world-building are pretty awesome. (Just bring a walkthrough if you want the best endings. Some of the 108 stars of destiny hide really well.)
