Welcome to the Ina-sanity!I finally got Suikoden 4 last week and started playing with it whenever I can. I read several reviews of the game beforehand. And all of them were disappointing reviews. Now, I usually wait judgment until I finish playing the game myself... but considering the fact that I played all 3 earlier games... and Suikoden being the only RPG video game that I was totally impressed with right from the beginning... I have to sadly say that the 4th installment, really is a big disappointment to us Suikoden fans! Where's the political conspiracies? The mind-numbing puzzle challenges? The soap operatic tension between characters? Why does the hero run in waddle like he's got poop in his pants? I have a bad feeling that I'm already halfway through the game, and I still haven't found Jean and Ted! They're supposed to be there! So far, the only Suikoden regular I got is Viki. I hate maneuvering the ship... you get repetitive enemies every five seconds you move. I mean, it's one thing if you get different critters... you pretty much have a choice of around ten creatures in the entire ocean. It gets really tedious. Though, I have to admit that I really like the Silverberg in this game. She definitely gives Sho (OKAY, technically, he's not a Silverberg!) from Suikoden 2 a run for his money. She's a drunk old hag, but she's also a damn genius! ^_^. Troy (one of the main baddies) is totally HOT! His English VA sounds really hot too. Actually, the English VAs for the game aren't too bad either. ^_^. So far, I haven't met a character's voice whom I didn't dislike yet. And you actually have a choice between a masculine or feminine voice for your hero too. But since he actually looks a tad effeminate, I chose the feminine voice. Though, I personally think it would have been much kewler if you can actually choose the hero's gender! Anywayz... I need help trying to find all 108 stars! The damned bald guy in the back street in Razril still wants to train instead of joining me. Bartholemew won't leave his house in the Nav-Kobold settlement... and I can't find the Warlock! *SIGH* As much as I want to commit more time to finishing this stupid game... *still hoping it will get better* RL commitments aren't helping much either. Anywayz... enough griping... check out the latest installments in "What's New" section on the side! New chaps galore! Ja!
