Suikoden II (released as Genso Suikoden II (幻想水滸伝II) in Japan), is a role-playing game and the second installment of the franchise’s main series. Although stylistically similar to the first Suikoden, the sequel improved dramatically upon virtually every facet of the original. The sprite-based graphics were enhanced to take advantage of the PlayStation’s broader color palette as well as to demonstrate greater emotion and fluidity in character animations. The plot and setting were more fully and realistically developed in tandem with the game’s pacing. Animated CGI cutscenes were added to specific, major story points. Numerous mini-games and time-specific sidequests were included and some control was given to the player over which characters could be recruited to fill the roster of the 108 Stars of Destiny.
Suikoden 2 requires at least 350MB of memory space. Make sure you have that much space on your memory to play this one-of-a-kind JRPG!
