Seriously? This is captured on a camera from a video screen. If you look close, you can see Jason holding the mic up to the dev's mouth in the second half. I am not saying PC will not have better graphics, it likely will, but this video is no basis for conspiracy theories about console production.

I do remember this game fondly. Yeah, there were some severe gameplay issues near the end (when it appears that the devs ran out of money) but what a great idea, and overall the game was still really fun.

He just means to say that it feels like playing a video game console. And, since he works for EA, he obviously hates video games.

But the most important question for myself, Jason Schreier, and the nearly 13,000 members of the SRM is still unanswered: Will Suikoden games appear via the streaming service?

Did you read the article? PS1 copies cost anywhere from $250 USD to $700 USD. It is a matter of cost, not function.

Well, I do not mind IV. I mean, it is much better than many other RPGs on the PS2 like Star Ocean and FF XII. . . yuck. It is just that Junko Kawano had to basically make the game herself, writing, producing, character designing, and she was not granted an extension to polish up the game before release. It only pales…

I have not played too many modern JRPGs, as since Square and Enix merged, the quality of the games took a nosedive into the terror that was FF XIII. But for old school ones, Suikoden, obviously, but Chrono Trigger, Xenogears, Breath of Fire (IV, most likely), and Wild Arms are all good.

Thank you Jason for covering us again, man you are the best friend a lonely internet movement with close to 13,000 people can have.

Funny Story: At the early days of eBay, right when Suikoden II left store shelves, fans of the game priced their copies at 108 dollars, a nod to the 108 "stars of destiny" from the Classical novel the game is loosely based on. Things kinda went out of control from there, as hoarders and for-profit collectors got wind…

What Jason said. Also, since Suikoden I is on the US PSN, saves would easily carry over to a potential Suikoden II on PSN.

I love the distant Pre-renders in this game, they are colored and digitized photographs of the Japanese countryside.

Same here. Though, I do believe that this is for people who have recently purchased a GPU card. . .

Gave it a shot. We will see what happens.

And what part of the game had any grinding? The game is designed around removing the aspects of grinding/looting. Don't knock the game simply because you did not understand the Rune system or the storyline and characters.

It is not the rapid expansion that is the problem, nor is it the minimum wage, it is the corruption of the individual bureaucracies that is the problem. China has a serious problem with this, much like how Foxconn was bribing local officials to skirt the labor laws. And the poverty is not just in the rural areas, but…

I was there in the summer of 2011 for the festival of the Burning Prayers. On a day so hot that even the locals were sweating through their shirts. In the court of the Hu-tsu (also called the White Jade Temple) people had fires going, wrote prayers on slips of paper, and burned them, so the prayers rose to heaven with…

Right. You have heard of Foxconn, no? Well, even f you have not, I have been to Shanghai and toured the silk factories where elderly women with arthritic hands sew rugs for 12 hours a day. I have seen the hovels where the poor live, while millionaires speed by in their Mazerati cars. You think China is communist? or…

Well, China is rather complicated. Needless to say, the major sellers in the West, like CoD, will be banned in the country, and China-specific region-locking will be likely. The Chinese tend to balk at violence, but not sexual content like we do. Also, the article is slightly inaccurate: there are no grey markets in…

Undeniable historical facts: At the time of the fall of Rome, few if any officers or soldiers were actually Roman, most were Germanic or Goth. The Gladius is a stabbing weapon, soldiers who swung it around and slashed with it were humiliated and even demoted. This game sucks. The End.

Well, is it too much to say that FF VII is a great game, but still overrated? I mean, not only were FF Tactics and FF IX better games, but even other RPGs of the time like Suikoden were far superior.
