After reading reviews which gave it high marks, I picked up suikoden 3 off eBay. Popped it in and the intro was exciting but then the game started. I've played it for a little over an hour wandering around to different towns but it seems a bit dull. There is hardly any music and without voice work the game is REALLY quiet and lifeless. The characters have no personality, and I don't like how they just kind of tossed the player into the story. Supposedly there's peace but the two states are in the brink of war. I don't even know who my character (Geddoe) is and what his role is in the story. He seems to know an important person in each town but the story hasn't revealed anything yet! I mean the game should present a conflict early in the game so I kind of have a general idea why I'm playing the game!!!
From what I've played, the battle system just standard RPG turn base - A weaker version of the Grandia 2 battle system?
I'm hoping the story gets more interesting and the story/conflict comes out soon, because I don't think I can continue wandering into different towns just so that Geddoe holds secret meetings, leaving me in the dark. If this doesn't get any better - I'm just going to stick with Square for rpg's.
