I know a lot of you love this game, I need help. I've been trying to recruit Mekumeku, the fourth squirrel, in green. I have the first three.

Read moreI know a lot of you love this game, I need help. I've been trying to recruit Mekumeku, the fourth squirrel, in green. I have the first three. I've been waiting in spots the internet tells me, for hours. I've tried walking the path between Matilda (Forest Path) and Greenhill. I've tried it with Stallion to go fast and run from battles. I've tried it with previous squirrels. I've done it alone. And I cannot get this damn squirrel in my team. The first three were pretty painless. There are videos on Youtube that show people walking to a spot and standing there, or walking along the path, and the squirrels join up, one by one, within seconds. I've been on this squirrel alone for 5 hours now. Am I doing something wrong? Is he locked out at certain points? I'm about to go back to

I'm enjoying it so far, but nothing mind blowing. It's maybe a little boring. It's too bad because the beginning was like, BAM PLOT right off the bat. But it's pretty slow going. I just finished up in Rockaxe and Highway Village for the first time and now I'm doing another round of checking for recruits, because this installment makes …
I'm enjoying it so far, but nothing mind blowing. It's maybe a little boring. It's too bad because the beginning was like, BAM PLOT right off the bat. But it's pretty slow going. I just finished up in Rockaxe and Highway Village for the first time and now I'm doing another round of checking for recruits, because this installment makes me panic every five minutes that I'm missing someone.
I am looking forward to

Playing again for what is probably my 7th time now? I lost count. This time I'm playing a rom that fixes all the bugs in the game. No more strategy battles with no music, no matilda glitch, no Hans armor cheating, and spelling errors fixed! So glad to be playing a perfect play through. I'm so hyped, I even did …

No more strategy battles with no music, no matilda glitch, no Hans armor cheating, and spelling errors fixed! So glad to be playing a perfect play through. I'm so hyped, I even did the 108 battles on the opening to see the colored intro. So nice!
Worth it

Easily the best game in the franchise. This has a wonderful story with great themes, even if the translation isn't great all the time. The army battles, RPG battles, soundtrack, and multiple endings are something special. Highly recommend this one.

Just booted this up since I was in the mood for a JRPG and don’t have my PS4 right now to play FFVII Remake... figured I’d just check it out and maybe not like it, and then proceeded to pass 3 hours like it was nothing. Wow, what a great start to this game so far, loving every single thing …

Spoilers ahead!!!
The first half of Suikoden II was a soft walk with no big challences (it was much fun nonetheless) than you encounter Lucca Blight (who should be the very last endboss, thats what they told you all along). Suddenly the game becomes hardcore. Lucca is a mad and swift Tankwarrior, who erases your party in seconds. It …

Suddenly the game becomes hardcore. Lucca is a mad and swift Tankwarrior, who erases your party in seconds. It tooked me several attempts and one older save game to defeat him but it felt so good. Hes by right one of the greatest bosses in video game history. Lovely mad bastard - to stubborn to die!

I decided to play some PS1-classics, after Castlevania SOTN and Crash bandicoot, i sunk deep into Suikoden 2. So far this game seems to be perfect, everything is really well balanced. This Game makes so many things right, it seems like it navigates directly in my top 10.

I know I'm inviting backlash by asking this, but how long should I give this game before deciding it isn't for me? I'm only about 90 minutes in, but so far I've gained and lost like five party members which is kind of annoying me. 😅
