Konami bringing Suikoden 1 & 2 PSone to PSN and VITA. #isthisreallife #basedkonami
- Thread starter cool_trainer
- Start date
i posted this on another thread, but if you guys like games like Suikoden and Suikoden 2 there's a game called Americana Dawn on kickstarter that draws a lot of inspiration from the two. It still got quite a bit to go until it can be fully funded but its kickstarter is packed with a lot of info including a few osts.
The maker describes the game as "Imagine a Suikoden game set in Colonial America inspired by elements of Chrono Trigger, Grandia, Fire Emblem and the writings of Mark Twain."

second game takes place a few years after the 1st. a lot of references and characters from 1 show up in 2.
suiokoden 2 stands on its own very well. playing the first one adds so much to the world though and I recommend playing it. First game can be finished in 10-15 hours.

I would hardly call 4 NPC shop keepers with garbled text when you speak to them behind the counter the equivalent a shitty localization. A slight mistake that was glossed over, but definitely not indicative of the entire localization as whole being crap.
I don't think we are talking about Ted Woolsey level plot omissions going here.
how about the missing bgm during the war battles?

well you glitch through a wall which lets you into a high level area where its possible to level your whole party to a level that you wouldn't have been for another 10ish hours.
pretty much lets you auto battle for a majority of the game (as if you couldn't already)
so you cheat by glitching I guess.
edit: and if you haven't played a suikoden game before, the way exp works, just doing one battle in that area gives you insane amounts of exp so its not even a grind. a few battle and your party jumps like 40 lvls if I recall
Atmosphere, music, story.
I just hope you're not overhyped. Don't expect anything, just get into the game. First impression may be off turning, especially the gameplay and graphics.
Yeah I played it. What is the big deal on 1? Doesn't ps4 play ps1 games? But like u said glad to see 2. My vita will be happy.
Nah, relax, not overhyped, I always expect things to suck so I'm not disappointed LOL

I hope this sells enough copies to at least raise an eyebrow or two in Outer Heav-I mean, Konami.

Don't need to, but you should if you want to get every ounce of bliss out of 2.
It's good to play Suikoden I, it's very short anyway and has a lot of characters that return in Suikoden II.

Iirc the ps1 emulator creates virtual memory cards that get read just like normal ones.
The metal gear stuff works on the ps3 with your sotn save, no reason this would be different.

It should work, but you might have to jump through some hoops to get it on there at this point.
Of course it will work, but I think you have to "point" to the right memory card on PSP/Vita since it creates a new virtual card for each game.

Never played a Suikoden, but have heard good things. Will definitely check out
I don't think that will be a problem as I have a PS3, and can just transfer from there I think...

You will be good then.
It was really annoying when I only had a PSP and had to fight to get new PS1 games for it at the end of its life.
Zanac X Zanac was the one that I remember vividly.

Wow in 3 days? Nice, I will own Suikoden 2 again, my second favorite game of all time.

Nope, unfortunately there is no access to PS1/2 games from PSN on the PS4. The PS4 only plays PS4 games.
First of all, I know Suikoden came out on PSone 18 years ago, and it's been on PSN for a while, but they're really so perfectly suited for portable play. Ignoring the fact that the save system isn't ideal for a portable, the entire concept is perfect. So I'm hyped I'll be able to play the original on the Vita in English. Yes, I had SI&II on PSP. Suikoden II on anything, well, that's just fucking incredible. I really hope these sell boatloads. I want III through V HD and VI, as improbable as that seems. I heart.

Not if you only own a PS4.

Oh man, Oh man!
First Suikoden 2 as a PSOne Classic on December 9th (one of my favorite RPGs of all time)
and then KOF '98 Ultimate Match Final Edition on December 12th which arguably the best incarnation of my favorite SNK fighting game of all time.
The stars must have aligned perfectly for something to get re-releases of two of my most favorite games of all time so close to my birthday (Dec 16th)
Now I will replay Suikoden I in preparation to transfer my save. Since I pretty much know where everything is in the first game, I should clear the game with all 108 recruits, just in time to move the data to Suikoden II.
This is going to be so awesome. I haven't played Suikoden II in years due to losing my copy in a basement flood that ruined most of my PSX collection.

I've been waiting to play Suikoden II for forever, it's probably the top game that I've never played that I've always wanted to. Can't believe it's finally coming to PSN.
Well, it is perfectly viable to jump straight into 2. You will be able to understand what is going on in 2 pretty easily, since the main plot of 2 is completely independent on Suikoden 1.
However, a lot of characters in Suikoden 2 are originally from Suikoden 1. Suikoden 2 has the feature of letting you import data from Suikoden 1, which let's you carry over some information about your characters from the first game into the second, and potentially unlocking more stuff in 2. So I think you can only get the maximum Suikoden 2 experience if you played 1 first.
Thankfully, Suikoden 1 is a really short game. It shows it's age, but it moves pretty fast.

In general, I am not really looking for opinions about localization quality from someone who brings up Woolsey's work as a negative.
