as far as the other suikodens are concerned this one is a little mediocre at times. what to complain about, well there are a few things: first thing to note is that it takes forever to get anywhere on your ship, secondly you get attacked on an average of 10-15 seconds thats just the average sometimes you get attacked before you move 1 ft. and the monsters are repetative (champion rune is way worth finding btw), the graphics are excellent but the hero has the face of some kind of freakish doll and why konami's suikoden still makes male characters for some reason look very female is very somewhat iritating, number 4 reason is that without help it would be impossible to figure out how to recruit all the stars of destiny let alone find some of the spread out islands they may inhabit, and then, the ship to ship battles are incredibly easy and entertaining in the least bit, finally the ending is almost completely terrible especially after collecting all the stars of destiny THIS IS WHAT YOU GET!? TERRIBLE! Now to praise the game i almost gave it a good but after all the bad things about it its average. im a huge fan of suikoden and to play this after suikoden 3 (which i would love to give a poor rating) had my hopes as high as the sky. the graphics are much improved and the voice acting is fantastic all which should have been incorporated into suikoden 3. the story line focuses around the rune of punishment but i guess its pretty mediocre considering what happens to the hero, but if you forget about that and concentrate on the events when you reach oble its much better and they really couldnt have picked better voice actors, they really fit the bill, the ending again is less than satisfactory, but through the story you find out a little about suikoden 1 im suprised that more characters from the old suikoden werent used to engage the player in the story but oh well, basically its worth owning if your a suikoden fan. anyway i give this game a 3 out of 5.Read full review
This is actually my second time buying this game, and for some odd reason, i didn't like it the first time around. I bought it to only complete my suikoden collection and decided to give it another attempt. This time around, after taking the time to explore this game a little more, there's all kinds of things to do. you can fish for rare treasures play various mini-games like tops you can treasure hunt for unique items build your own armor customize your ship(s) fight with multiiple parties you can also run extremely fast and so on... the naval battles are a tad too easy, but all in all, a decent game
The best RPG ever made! Not only is this an RPG in the traditional sense, but you also along your journey collect people who enrich your experience you create a home base and these people that you meet if you can compel them to join your team go to your home base and build and make it larger and they can sell you items they can impart intelligent to you they can give you better items and just make the storyline that much better. They're called the hundred and eight Stars because there are a hundred and eight of these people that you can meet along the way! Honestly this is the one game that I could sit and play for days on end and someone would have to unplug me and make me go to bed and eat LOL! This series of games to me is the best series that has ever been created!

I have played almost every Suikoden, and Suikoden IV definitely lives up to the name of the series. Great gameplay, great graphics, and a new twist on how to navigate the world map! The only issues I have with the game, is how SLOW it is to navigate the world map, yet it's realistic, so that's alright. The other issue, is now instead of the classic 6-character parties, it's now only four. Upsetting, but not too much of an issue. I recommend this game for people who want to experience a good RPG, but if you want his, try to get the other Suikodens, too!
For some reason, people rate this game on the lesser end of the Suikoden Series. I personally disagree! Suikoden IV has such an incredibly engaging story, and it is full of twists and turns. The duel systems in this game are very fun, the graphics are beautiful, and the whole ocean-pirate story arc made this game one of a kind. The Characters and the Runes are awesome as well. The only gripe I have with this game is the way the main character looks; mainly his outfit and he is a little bug-eyed. Maybe this was just to help him stand out, I dont know. Either way, this is truly one of the better RPG's I have played (and I've played it through a few times). I personally purchased a back-up copy of the game because it is that precious to me. If you like this game, let me also recommend one of the most unknown but best RPG's of the PS2 era... Legaia 2: Duel Saga (sequel to Legend of Legaia - PSX)Read full review
