One of the greatest JRPGs of all time. Quite possibly the last time I'd pay for any thing Konami-made.

Just waiting for 3 to go on sale. Was only just put on the marketplace this month!
I'm pretty sure 3 is on sale too. I bought it last night.
$14.95 on AU market. Did you buy it from US?
edit: yep just checked. $5.99 down from $9.99.
Good deal but I'll wait for the 50% off AU deal because that will be cheaper :)
First 3 are brilliant. Not a fan of 4, but enjoyed 5.
Was keen to buy this and the first, until noticed it's only for PS3, PS Vita and PSP. Might want to add that in the description, for those hoping to work on PS4.
Damn this is a brilliant game, well worth it.
But where's the discount for the AU store?
From the above review
So I should play the first one?
Yeah, you really should. One of the things people really love about the main Suikoden games is the continuity. Unlike other RPGs, the Suikoden games are all set in the same universe, with recurring storylines, characters, and settings, making this franchise more akin to one big TV series than it is to, say, a movie. It’s sort of like Game of Thrones, if season 1 was only about the Starks and then season 2 starred the Lannisters in King’s Landing but was full of Stark appearances and references.
Also, you can bring your Suikoden save file over to Suikoden II for some bonus scenes and a Very Special Sidequest that I won’t spoil.
What if I can only play one of them?
If you absolutely can’t play the first Suikoden, you can rest assured that #2 stands on its own. The first one is worth your time, of course. It’s a great game—short and sweet—and it’ll make you appreciate Suikoden II that much more. (Plus it’s only $5 on PS3/Vita.) But if you don’t have the time or patience for a 20-hour appetizer, feel free to dig right into the main course.
Is Suikoden really like Game of Thrones?
It really, really is. “Game of Thrones meets Pokémon” might be the best way to put it. Like Game of Thrones, this is a story about human beings fighting for peace and power under unimaginable circumstances. And like Pokémon, you can spend hours trying to collect ‘em all.
