Suikoden IV
Jul. 2nd, 2012 06:20 amLazlo was a rising star in the Knights of Gaian; he and his best friend Snowe were going to take the world by storm. But then they ran afoul of the Rune of Punishment just as political machinations were engineering an invasion of the island nations. Will the 108 Stars of Destiny come together once more?
( It's not as bad as they say. )
Overall: Yes, this is the weakest of the Suikoden games, but it doesn’t deserve the same level of hate that other weak installments in long-running series do. This is more like Final Fantasy 8 (gimmicky and trying to do something different, but ultimately fun) than Unlimited SaGa (frustrating rather than fun because of a problematic core system). If you like the rest of the series, it’s worth playing to complete the set.
