1 and 2 i really love this game i played it for a couple of times

2 and 5 ^_^

2nd one i like Lucus Blight.

Of the games I've played in the series I'd say Suikoden V. It's probably the most well rounded and fun. Haven't played Suikoden 2, but everyone tells me it's amazing. If it weren't so expensive to buy I'd pick it up.

Suikoden 2 is the best game for me.. ahaha...

Suikoden 2,also 1 and 5 ^__^

Well, having just finished the first two I can say those are my two favorite. 3 through 5 just don't have the same feel as the first two.

2 and 5 were the best

suikoden 2 PERIOD although i hate it coz i got the bad ending JOWY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

suikoden 2 was the best and always will be..suikoden 1 is also great, the rest...just crap...

I like Suikoden 3 ,4 & 5
3: I like play sparated story (Hugo story, Chris story, Geddoe Story, Thomas Story) and they meet each other in each character and they fight together
4: I like the headquarter a big ship we can move our headquarter, more difficult to recruit character like Ted, Snowe, Nalkul, and other few character, I like battle ship too bad

5: Large headquarter, can fight with 6 characters, more difficult to recruit character (Like Richard, Zegai, Eresh, Genoh, Sairoh, Wilhelm, Egbert, Cornelio's doremi elves, and etc), I also like the true ending suikoden 5 its very touching me my tears fell down when frey met his mother, father, Sialeeds and the others and Lyon alive again
(I already played more than 10 times)

Suikoden 2 is the best.
