Good to see some love for the classics!
And really, everybody owes it to themselves to play Suikoden II at some point in their life. The first one has my nostalgia, but the second is easily one of the best RPGs. Ever. Well worth its price tag (one of the only games I don't regret spending over $200 on).
And GoB, if you like Suikoden, add Seal: Unmei No Tabibito to your Jap games list.
