He is. If you go to the bridge of the Ragnarok during disc 4 he tells you “we need to talk” but nothing ever comes of it. It’s never explicitly stated but heavily implied. Raine was his mama.  Read more

Um, Cecil never had problems remembering his past. Or anything resembling amnesia. Cecil’s issue was overcoming the guilt of his actions as a Dark Knight and finding redemption. Read more

Surely you’re not suggesting that a Square game is confusing?!? Read more

Right there with you. When I played FF VIII for the first time, I felt like the amnesia subplot basically ruined the whole thing and was a cheap gimmick.

Characters with backstory? Nope, they all had the same backstory except for Rinoa. Oops, GFs cause memory loss and everyone just happened to forget it. Lots of things… Read more

Love this, but I’m shocked that you’re at the Chunin Exams arc and you haven’t even once brought up Rock Lee in an article about how good Naruto battles are. I’m pretty sure his match with Gaara was before this one that you’re referencing. Read more

What a fun read! I have such vivid memories of kids crowding around the arcade machine when SFII came out. I was a shy kid, so i was always scared to play (in fact I even remember an older kid straight up offering me a quarter just to give the game a try - which in retrospect is really awesome) Once I played my first… Read more

I like Suikoden a fair bit, but it has two major flaws:

The first and third Suikoden games are fantastic. Read more

Sacrilege, I know, but I actually like 1 better than 2. While 2 starts off amazingly, it gets pretty grindy and boring at quite a few spots. 1 just flows really quickly and easily. Read more

Picked up Suikoden for my collection earlier this summer. Looking forward to picking up 2 this next year.  Read more

Add to the fact the series also hold some of the best soundtracks ever Read more

Suikōden I is baller, and Suikōden II should be somewhere on everyone’s top 10 JRPG list. Read more

While not even close to one of my first RPGs, having got my start on the NES with the classic free copy of Dragon Quest, Suikoden 1 was definitely one of the rare games that made a real and lasting impression on me, placing it in a JRPG pantheon inhabited by the likes of FF6, Chrono Trigger, Phantasy Star 4, and Skies… Read more

Suikoden is probably my all-time favorite RPG and I hope kaname does something with it.  Read more

Suikoden 1 has the potential to be such a tragic game as well, if you pretend the second game doesn’t retcon the deaths of some characters. Read more

I’m thankful for the following: Read more

Clicked for the wall meat, was not disappointed.
