I loved Suikoden 1 & 2 as a kid. I had no idea it was considered such a great. I couldn't talk to anyone about it then. Final Fantasy 7 soon took over the landscape. I wonder if it still holds up.
It does! At least Suikoden 2, which I was never able to play as a kid (S1 was one of my favorites, but S2 was too hard to find). I played through it a few years back and it was great. I recommend trying them out.
