Introducing friends to Suikoden...

[Mikain Clan King]

Was wondering how big of a help Suikosource members have been to Suikoden's popularity...How many people have you got into it/recruited? I've got a couple, not many but around 2 or 4. (now I'm like cut off from people...homeschooled and stuff and only 1 family lives near me has kids...)

None of my friends are very much into Suikoden or any video games for that matter. That's the reason I like single player games like RPGS. It's something to do when I'm alone. When I'm with friends we occasionally play plotless video games (like Dynasty Warriors or Mario Party) or just do something that doesn't involve video games. It'd be pretty hard to have a bunch of friends over to play a one player game.

Hmm yeah, but I do it when I'm at my cousin's house and he is doing something on computer...and stuff like that...you could (maybe not such a great idea) have your friends represent a certain character and they choose there runes, then when in battle conrtroll them...6 people, it could happen.

I think I have gotten more people to play suikoden from game forums rather than from my peer group/family. I have plenty of gamers in my family and friends but a lot of them aren't rpg players.

I got my friend Stefani to play Suikoden. She played the first one and loved it, now she's playing the second.

I am like a mormon when it comes to Suikoden, I go door to door recruiting Suikodeneers.

I have gotten about 7 or 8 people to play. I always hate it when they play them all then earn the right to borrow my copy of 2. >_>

i've gotten 2 people to play the game. the first one kept pronouncing "suikoden" wrong so it pissed me off.. but i think he played 1-3 and maybe 4 when we in high school. the other person is my girlfriend who thinks it's just okay. she played 1, most of 2, and some of 5... she doesn't commit to games so she will simply stop playing them after a while unless it's short enough O_o

my brother is a graphics whore and can't seem to understand that Suikoden 1 and 2 are PS1 games and not PS3 so the graphics won't look like FF13

Unfortunatelly, most of my friends share little love for RPG based games, but that doesn't mean i do not try convincing then. But at the present time i could seduce only one person to the Suikoden side of the force...But i keep trying, Suikoden must be saw by everyone interessed in videogames!

[Bernadette Egan]

I can't get anybody into it, yet I always talk about it. My mom and sister even know some of the characters. I got my boyfriend to look at the female characters, but that's about it. I did let my friend borrow the first one, though. Hopefully she likes it.

I just got three more. ^_^

I luckily have S2 but my friend lost S1 >.> accidentally gave it away I guess. And here, that's SUPER RARE. I actually got that from a friend....and never returned it *cough*

I'm recruiting people and found a few interested. The problem is they don't have the game. Better to start at S1 you know. I can't wait for them to re-release it but I think it's not going to be re-release in PS1 <.<

One way I advertise Suikoden is I'm a major Pokemon Roleplayer and I use the character art of Suikoden. I often mention it so I bet all my fellow RPers would buy the game after hearing it from me xD So far I've recruited just one =( She loved it =D

Agreed.

Though, I still introduce to my friends(It a great game mind you. . ) and quite amaze that they like it. 4 of them,
does not have any PS1 so they just played Suikoden 5. Out of 4, 2 of them are currently passing around my Suikoden 3
1 of them are playing my suikoden 4. The last one keep borrowing my PSP to play Suikoden 2. . and 1.

My siblings express no interest (or they try to hide their obsession to play MY Suikoden games! ^__^) in playing Suikoden. I have no plan of spreading Suikoden to my friends in fear of having them borrow my games, since Suikoden's are rare here.
