At first I didn't want to accept it...suikoden on a portable? blah...but as you play it you'll come to respect it.
However, for the negative... There are two things that just don't sit well with me about this game. If you can get past these two things like me, you'll love this title. The first problem is the 3d character sprites. It reminds of my final fantasy:crystal chronicles on the game cube. I just hate the look of it and it seems cheesy. Although the textures and landscapes look gorgeous, the sprites are horrendous. The next part of this game that kills me, is the fact that there is no free roam. It's basically choose the area of town you wish to show up in, and boom you're on one screen the whole time... It's very disappointing. I feel most RPGS shouldn't have this final fantasy tactics type vibe...Takes away from the "Adventure."
