Suikoden, baby. Even the battle system looks like it's taken from the old Suikoden games, and of course the game's biggest appeal, the huge gotta-catch-em-all cast. I don't know if this is exactly 108 like the original Suikoden or if it's just a hundred or what. To be honest, I haven't paid that close attention to it because it's always seemed so far off.

The trailer looks good, and they put out an ARPG spinoff called Rising that was apparently kinda disappointing. If it was good, the Suiko-nuts would be yelling about it from the trees, and that game came and went. I installed it since it's a day Game Pass game and still didn't bother just because the word of mouth was so poor.

But yeah, the trailers for this look good and the lineage is really what I'm here for. I love the first Suikoden. The ones that came after 2000 weren't really my cup of tea so hopefully this is more like the original than the sequels. I'm a little more cautiously optimistic on this one than some of the later RPGs on the list, mostly because I don't know a ton and because it's still seemingly so far in the future.
