/vr/ - Retro Games

I'm playing Suikoden 1 for the first time. One thing that I immensely appreciate, compared to other JRPGs, is just how damn fast battles are. The encounter rate in dungeons dangerously flirts with being annoying, but at least most battles with mooks are over in seconds. The fact that most party members gain levels so fast at least keeps progression at a steady pace.

I am only about 5ish hours in though, so I only recently got the castle and am now going around the world, trying to "catch 'em all"... those 108 stars of destiny. I don't really want to ruin things with a FAQ, so I hope there aren't "missable" characters.

When they asked me to name my sweet new castle, I decided on Odessa Castle. Those who played the game might know why; I felt it was appropriate!

Oh, and that dumb wheel of fortune in the rich dude's house? FUCK THAT AWFUL PIECE OF SHIT. Who thought having a random wheel be the gatekeeper to FINISHING A DUNGEON was a good idea??
