Go ... quickly put aside all the Final Fantasy and other games around your favorite console, and leave room for a pure RPG in the traditional Japanese sauce ...
Start with the introduction which presents the many important characters of the game, by the way, the hero (you must name yourself, it did not name the source), Jowy, Nanami, etc, brought under any of warriors singing a melody and rhythm sublimely orchestrated by Warsaw Philharmonic Orchestra & Chorus conducted by Ultra Shine Yumiko Takahashi, the Opening will not let you marble, no doubt ...
Suikoden was released in Europe in 1997, featured the travels of the son of Teo McDohl, grand knight of the kingdom corrupt (Scarlet Moon Empire) which fought against the young hero (yes, against his own father that ...), it is fighting for the Republic, you can also see the rise in Suikoden 2, the Republic of Toran who will play a very important role in the scenario of it too ... and that important details of previous component, it would be wise to finish before starting Suikoden Suikoden 2, to better understand the continuity of history and use your backup to unlock up to unprecedented scenes and winks of the first film ...
In short, Suikoden 2, released in 1998 in Japan, depicts a young boy and his best friend Jowy, part of the Youth Corps of the Unicorn, a small battalion of the huge army of Highland ... The world of Suikoden 2 is again divided into two main areas, namely Highland, and one called Scarlet Moon Empire, remains of the kingdom of Barbarossa, the emperor revoked Suikoden ... While in Suikoden, you fought the empire (while knowing that before his fall, the empire had many admirers, and remained a highly respected monarchy and "fair"), along with Toran, in this one, you you find the Highlanders to fight (do not confuse with some immortal xD) ...
But how the hero who was part of the Highland army comes to rebel and find themselves in combat while in the beginning of the game the two territories (who still had a fairly hostile past) had concluded a Treaty of Peace and lived in a suitable agreement. Really, the hero of Suikoden different are still prey to switch sides early in the game, and to rebel against the established order ... You will see that it is the same as for Suikoden 4, and of course, ditto for Suikoden first name.
Prince Lucas Blight, son of King of Highland Agares Blightet his wife Sara Blight, is part of a great dynasty of nobles, but hates his father, who during a rebellion precalculated (praising robbers to attack) cons Proponents of the kingdom, led by Darell who disagreed with the truce imposed by Agares and do anything to protect Kyaro, is attacked, fled from his throne, leaving his son Lucas and his wife be captured by the robbers ... Hence his character rather cynical, greedy for power and revenge against his own father, it was nicknamed "mad prince" of the dynasty of Blight, you will understand later why ...
Thus, each dynasty Suikoden has its own history, and could make family trees with immense history of each character, to deepen this sense of behavior (sometimes crazy of course) for each character, and learn about various estates and their appearances in various parallel Suikoden, which, it must be said, are quite cleverly linked together ...
Thus the prince Lucas, far from accepting the peace agreement the two territories, features a plot to encourage them to resume the war. Therefore, you find yourself in the middle of the plot of the prince, because it is attacking your Battalion by his own men to believe that the United State, the City broke the peace accord and attacked mercilessly younger ... This of course does not leave the Kingdom in doubt as to retaliation ... But our young hero and his best friend, heard the Prince confessed his plot, and then fleeing the battlefield, caught up by the enemy, they jump off a cliff where they promise to return if they fared live (remember there !)... So you're a first time separated from your friend Jowy, amid opposing hosted by Viktor and Flik, two flagship characters in Suikoden, and you find yourself enslaved in their home ... Shortly after Jowy will save you, but soon you will understand, once back in your hometown Kyaro, you are most welcome, treated as traitors of the realm (another lie not issued wily Prince ... ) and you will fly with Nanami and Jowy, eventually joining the camp of the city-state, the second large area ...
The hero is actually a young orphan (common element all the heroes of Suikoden too ...), and Nanami, his "sister", both adopted by Genkaku, a valiant warrior, who was one of the biggest supporters of peace on both territories, and during a battle against Han, his best friend's opponent, consciously decided to lose because his sword had been poisoned (by Agares, even to provoke a war between two great and begin to truce of peace ... -__-), not kill his best friend (a relationship quite similar to that between the hero and Jowy ^^)... Since all mocked Genkaku, not knowing the reasons for his loss "voluntary" and he was humiliated, and despised by many when he was apparently a great knight worthy of great respect ... The latter was exiled and retired, adopted Nanami and the young heroes in their learner's knowledge of combat, martial arts, values and raised them as his own children ...
In Suikoden 2, Genkaku is already dead for a year, and following your very special reunion with Nanami, your adopted sister, you have to pray at his grave, just before fleeing your own city Kyaro ... Past emotions, you will discover through your ups and downs of your destiny and that of Jowy parallel, but highly related, which will begin upon receipt of your runes ... But what are the runes and especially the True Runes? Indeed, the legend of runes similar to the creation of the world in the Bible and other religious works and explains it this way the existence of the universe valid and common to all Suikoden ... So the legend tells that in the beginning, there was only darkness and the darkness gave way to tears, only one, which nevertheless gave rise to the two brothers Sword (sword) and Shield (Shield) Shield and said with pride to defend itself against any attack, Sword said they could penetrate any defense ...
Thus the two brothers began a legendary battle ... After the battle, the two finally shattered (splinter enormous impact of the equality of the two powers involved) and made a multitude of sparks ... Thus, Sword turned into sky, Shield became the earth and the sparks of battle gave birth to the stars, which such pearls, fell on the ground and became the True Runes ... Hence the exceptional power and coveted the true runes, 27 in number, and owned by the main characters of various Suikoden, of course ...
As the young hero (Bright Shield rune) and Jowy (Black Sword rune) receive a true rune each, which was their destiny, guided by Leknaat, making his character appear in every Suikoden, to guide the hero and make known its power, the true history of runes and of course to monitor its development and utilization of rune ... As related to the two brothers of the great legendary battle, and two best friends Genkaku, and Han (who owned most of the same true runes) they find themselves forever linked but separated by their opposing parallel destinies ...
Taking the principle of the 108 stars, a legend based on a classic Chinese novel, Shui Hu Zan, you'll need to recruit 108 characters (you included) that divide the stars of destiny, as Tenkai, star of the hero and star's mistress Paradise or Tenjyu, star of Nanami, and star of longevity, etc. ... In fact, your hero, once the power to bring in hand, will need to recruit and try to collect the 108 characters of the table of destiny, but sometimes it will prove difficult, and sometimes you need to accept quests, and others, to ensure that a person agrees to be part of your army ... These are fairly easy to distinguish, they all have original appearance, and possess unique strengths ... However, you will see that many people stayed in the background, and it is difficult player to use them all, and to evolve, resulting in a tendency to retain a privileged group fighting for ...
Now that you know more about the runes and the 108 stars of destiny, you can better understand the combat system, this classic appearance and common to all rpg, however, has many peculiarities compared to other role-playing ... There are 3 fighting styles unique to Suikoden all:
- The classic battle: your characters (6 per team!) Attack turn-paced manner, with the possibility of performing enough combos spectacular, and early, you can string together combos with Jowy subsequently with Nanami ... But there are many combos as possible among the 108 stars, to find them, just put your team in several characters having strong links and close enough in the game, like Viktor and Flik, or Rina, Eili, Bolgan all three brothers and sisters gypsies, etc. ... You have a variety of runes to use the magic attack, defense, care, etc. ... and the true runes that possess unique powers and more powerful than the basic runes ... Thus each rune increases in level and may become necessary later. You can also use the AUTO button, so let your characters attack during combat repetitive or boring enough by their frequency ...
- Duels: Duels frequently appear after defeating a Boss, a continuation of the scenario, or even recruit some characters, then release the tension ... This mode contrasts with an opponent so subtle, you must choose between three main controls: the simple attack, defense, special attack ... The three canceled if you master all ... For example if you the enemy launches an attack normal, appropriate of the command will launch a special attack, not because of defense he will in the face ... If the enemy defends, it is better to impose a simple attack, because if you perform a special attack you will fail and you take the full attack against pear ... If the enemy defends, it is best to launch a simple attack, which inflict a little damage ... But remember, you do not know what will be the enemy, he'll have to guess the action it will take much listening to his words that could guide you in the right direction ... In Suikoden 2, duels are fairly streamlined and easy to win, unlike a Suikoden 4 further ...
- The fighting in army you regularly prestigious battles against the armies of Highland, which can be complex at first, but still very well explained in the game, and easily manageable ... Thus each of your units (held at the Department) will move strategically, and attack enemies until completion of the goal. You can use the runes, and special abilities of each unit, including the revival of HP, the power to turn replay, etc. ... The armies are organized into different categories, archers, magicians, attackers in front, and yet many categories to help you better choose the most appropriate attack for each opponent, be careful, eventually, if you lose one unit during the battle, his death will be effective also in the scenario ... You will be able to avoid exposing unit to danger, compare the characteristics of each of your units with those of the opponent ...
The graphics in Suikoden are 2D, with cut-scenes and despite their successful carrence in beauty compared to Final Fantasy and other games of gender roles, prove worthy of the old-rpg genre ... City dwellers are not alike at all unlike Suikoden first name and the city itself is well developed ... You will notice in the graphics, an approach quite similar to Japanese manga, and attacks using martial arts are either very well represented, is humorous, especially the combo Nanami / hero, who once two, this Nanami eating, to make tea while the heroes attack, etc. .. The alternation of scenes depicting the heroes and those representing the path Jowy is very well run and submitted by the disappearance of the hero who loses strength each time he uses his rune, and finally the whole is represented fairly dreamy and theatrical.
The music of Suikoden 2 are extremely lavish and most are rhythmic and their sources in the Celtic songs, hence the possibility of listening to music in Suikoden Celtic Collection II ... But many music Suikoden related to emotions in the game and can give you chills, as Reminiscence of the first disc, which introduces the past of 3 children, or those of the 3rd disc, sung by a group of 3 musicians together at last and yet that called 2 Rivers singing child poverty, and thousands of music tracks are sung in either Italian or Japanese ... And you can see how the music fits right in with the mood of the game or describe, you will sometimes fail to remember your tears, sensitive souls or not) ... Of course, some will seem quite repetitive, like the world map, just like in any role playing game, but the game has a life long, and you will discover how the music is varied and gives lot of charm and dynamism to the game ..
Finally, the game is entirely in French, and an excellent gameplay, and has several mini-games, and sometimes entire games with unprecedented scenes as the game where you have to cook Haï_Yo helping to beat its opponents in competitions kitchens worthy of the name, the game has its own scenario, you can spend moments of inexplicable emotions! For fans of Japanese works, Suikoden II is also in manga: http://suikodenman.free.fr/index.html (go to Suikoden 2, Pages and Manga).
