I tried to replay Suikoden some years back and but kinda killed my interest when I was grinding for Water Rune pieces. I had hoped to stack my main characters with them and never worry about healing ever again. I might give Suikoden III a chance some day but am not sure about IV and V. Pity Genso Suikogaiden 1 and 2 were never officially translated.

It's really not that hard of a game, you don't need to grind for stuff. I actually love how much Suikoden is anti-grinding, what with its XP system. Quickly reach a point of diminishing returns where you're only getting 5 or 10 xp a battle if you grind the same characters in an area but on the other hand, you can have a low level newbie tag along and he can shoot up 30 levels in a couple fights and be only a few levels behind the other people.

My friend mentioned that it was based on the Romance of the Three Kingdoms story.

Dynasty warriors is romance of the Three kingdoms

Suikoden is water margin/outlaws of the marsh

I always wanted a Dynasty Warriors style Suikoden game, even more than I wanted a Zelda DW spinoff (which I was very happy for, and it was awesome!). Just seemed like the two would be a great match.

i was tackling Suikoden 1 recently with the intention of playing 2 as well, but started getting bored right around Seek Valley. kinda got sick of having to abuse the dice game to upgrade characters that i was only going to need for 10 minutes every time something happened in the story. I've hear Suikoden 2 greatly improves upon S1's many glaring flaws but i have to get my motivation back to finish off 1 first since i know i'm really close to the end.

Again...the game's pretty forgiving. And weapon upgrade costs go up exponentially, so if you stop a few levels short of the max you can upgrade, it would probably halve the amount of bits you need for those characters and you wouldn't lose *that* much damage.
I don't think S1 had "many glaring flaws," but S2 is pretty much the ideal sequel in that it took everything great about the first game and made it better. And the fact it has so many returning characters and plot continuity including the S1 main if you import save data.
