Let's Play Suikoden

Post by Eltaire »

Hi everyone!

I am currently Let's Playing through the original Suikoden over on YouTube, and thought I'd let you all know in case you wanted to follow along, give pointers, discuss, etc.

The first episode can be found here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LEfaMUFhQ54

Let me know what you think, here or on YouTube. :D

I would like to promote entrepid83's lp of Suikoden V, which he started earlier this week.
A raw tomato for the win!

I'm getting to the end of my Let's Play.

I just recruited Joshua, of the Dragon Knights... so not too much longer to go. ;D

Aloyalgamer also did a Let's Play of Suikoden 3. He totally nailed it and got everything the game has to offer. Bah.. it might be an old thread... but still. He answeres ALL THE QUESTION ABOUT EVERYTHING about Suikoden 3.

Once I've upgraded my PC, an LP for Suikoden is on the tables as well.

I've been meaning to do this for a while now, but hardware limitations prevented me from doing this thus far.

I would do a LP myself, but I am simply not good with technical stuff. But I would LOVE to act as a guest commentator, should the one or another person her decide to make a LP of Suikoden... no matter which one :)

I really want to make an LP of Suikoden Tactics and V but no one sells Suikoden games anymore

I'd most likely start with Suikoden I and II. I've already got a few ideas of what I want to do.

I have seen a few guys do it, but not all of them are very good. Heck, I watched one where he was farming money so he could buy 6 Winged Boots in Kyaro Town and then farmed rabbits for their runes and this was at the start of the game and I just wondered, what's the point of this!?

Aloyalgamer has a nice LP, but I didn't always enjoy listening to him.

I have yet to check Eltaire's, so I'll give that a watch soon enough.

For me, Suikoden I is the hardest coz it absolutely requires grinding for equipment, healing items, blacksmith, rune, levels or I will get the game over screen every two fights

Really? Didn't think it was particularly hard.

As for money, simply play the dice game with Gaspar (Chinchorin?). Bet your winnings and it is fairly simple to get a lot of money quick.
Uncertain if 'lucky' characters increase the odds though.

The only SUikoden I'd like to make a Let's Play about would be Tactics. All others are fairly well covered and everyone who plays Tactics sucks. Really, I just watched a LP of Tactics where he dies in the third or fourth battle fo the game. He isn't even past the intro part of the game!

Umm, Suikoden Tactics is heavily reliant on luck as well, you know that. Especially before you get the support from Obel Kingdom that will send lots of slaves for us

I can't say I agree, it's 95% playing well and 5% luck, maybe, and only if you're also trying to hunt all treasures in a story battle.

I used matildawhiteknight's S-Rank guide that's written here in the boards as a basis and tested out some tactics and so far, I S ranked almost every battle at the first try. When I first played the game years ago, I felt that the game is too hard and getting S ranks in your first run is impossible. Now I'm thinking more about the battles, S rank them, and even use/level up all characters equally.

So yeah, that's why I'd love doing a good Tactics LP to show this to people. It'd be German, though.

Okay, looking foward to your LP of Suikoden Tactics

Haiz, Sasarai10 also said that Suikoden I is easy, but I still find it terribly difficult haha


What about speedrunning the Suikoden Tactics? :mrgreen:
