As huge Suikoden fan I absolutely loved this game. However it did have it's flaws.
Pros. The music was epic. Some of it even sounded similar to Suikoden tunes.
There's a wide variety of species. Humans, elves, dwarves, tree people, and one of my all time favorites, beastmen.
The story was quite good, and there's scenarios where split into teams. (Kind of like Final Fantasy VI)
Some of the boss battles have gimmicks, where you use gimmicks to help you defeat the boss. There's a good variety of mini games. My personal favorite was the card game.
Cons. There's a drift issue that occasionally pops up. The character will walk on his own, or the menu will go ballistic. (No it's not my controller because it only happens with this game)
The loading takes an eternity....though that might just be my version. (X-Box One)
In Beigoma(One of the mini games) sometimes the action button doesn't work.
One of the Characters Leene can be easily missed, making it impossible to recruit all 120 characters.
Overall, it was a good game. 7/10
