Suikoden is much more than just a game, it's series very loosely based on Shui Hu Zhuan (classical Chinese novel). These are games dealing with politics, intrigue, revolutions, rebellions, outlaws and fate, even more these are known for every game having 108 stars or destiny (protagonists) and teaching that in grand scheme of things nobody is really expendable.
If you wanna try those and have PS3 (or Vita) you are lucky, after years of begging Konami finally put both first games on PSN and we are getting third in the future, or so it would seem.
Keep in mind these are rather old games, tho.
I can't believe how long it's been since the first two titles were originally released. They provided some great memories, and the soundtracks are still Youtube material. Missed out on the others(3 never grabbed me), but since 5 is said to harken back to the originals, it might be worth picking up on my end.
