[Suikoden 2] last night I spent an hour and a half walking in a circle beating up birds because their 2% drop rate is the only way to obtain this one rune and when I finally got one I was so excited to be able

to finally go save and turn the game off and go to bed that I rapidly pressed the confirm button to get back to the world map and I accidentally discarded the rune because my bag was full

This game actually fixes most of the quality of life issues I was having with the first game. It's also much prettier, and has more/better writing

but weirdly I think I'm finding it less compelling so far

that may just be because it's much more slowly paced, though

I'm 14 hours in and I only have half of the stars and still haven't been in a war battle where I had full control of everything

meanwhile I beat the first game at 20 hours

2 got me started on the series back in the day and i'm currently replaying 5

and i really just love the whole Bright Shield/Black Sword concepts/mythology too

I want to play more games now but the only other one I have is tierkreis

People seem to think that V is the best, after the first two

I wish they were all on psn but I guess I'll have to track down discs

after two i think they sold poorly overall which is probably why they haven't brought them to psn

i think they are great games, but i have to admit they are kind of niche

They're like Pokémon with people--
