re: Best JRPG series?
@Felthry oh my god, a poll that includes suikoden, thank you so much
re: Best JRPG series?
@babbage how could anyone NOT include suikoden in a poll like this though
re: Best JRPG series?
@Felthry because 99% percent of the people i've mentioned it to have never heard of it D:
I'm guilty of only owning V and a demo of IV but i read so much of the lore and i absolutely love it as a series
now i can finally say "georg's eyepatch of shame" and have at least one person get it (probably)
re: Best JRPG series?
@babbage we've only played 1 and 2 but we own both
suikoden 2 is probably the crown jewel of our video game collection, as well as probably the most expensive single non-essential thing we've ever bought with our own money and not felt guilty about
it's just That Good
re: Best JRPG series?
@babbage *we own all of them, not we own both
actually just picked up IV a little while ago at a local used game store that apparently had a windfall of good ps2 games, as they'd just gotten in multiple copies each of suikoden 3, wild arms 3, suikoden 4, and final fantasy X, among others
re: Best JRPG series?
@Felthry There's some cheaper copies on ebay, usually for ~$80, but only one of them I've seen so far is a guaranteed buy. Most of the others are auctions.
Also, I kinda get annoyed when I have to emulate things, so I'm probably gonna opt for hard copies
re: Best JRPG series?
@babbage 1 and 2, being 2d games, also emulate well on potato hardware, if you just want to play them
