The begins by choosing a name for character, which can be anything. Well hes real name is Tir Mcdohl. The first game in the Suikoden series follows Tir* McDohl as he becomes a fugitive from the corrupt empire ruling the land around him. Densely layered conflicts and betrayals abound, creating a wonderful story that compares to (and often outdoes) many more well-known games. The game consist of six party team that allows you to fight monsters and you can get up to 108 characters but about a quarter of them can actually fight and some are mainly supportive. This game actaully has a war part were you can use infantry, archery, and magic soldiers to fight each basically its a rock, paper, and scissors game but inside of game with wars. You get runes which cast magic and they have really cool looking spells. If you want to know more pm or just reply to this message.
