Tier order for each Game!

[Kil0]

Id rate them in order of best to worst
2>1>4>5>3
I never finished 3 and wasn't a fan of 5 so ill let that be up for debate. But 1 and 2 are masterpieces and 4 is really good. I'm curious what is yours?

2 > 1 > 3 > 4 for me. I never played 5, sadly. I hope to eventually.

[hidayato]

5 > 2 > 3
thats only 3 that i play

Just finished S5 recently so I can give a more accurate tier list. Only got halfway through S3 though, but it's the shyttiest one for me regardless, so...

2 > 5 > 4 > 1 > 3

[Bryantheart]

For me its 2>5>1>3>4
Formation and 6 man party is the staple in Suikoden, and Suikoden 4 only has 4 man party and non existant formation is my biggest gripe

[Andarion]

2 > 1 > 5 > 3 > 4

[Azure Fang]

2 > 5 > 1 > 3/4 > Tactics

3 and 4 are about the same, but for different reasons. Both are controversial with how significantly they deviated from the established formula, but in the end those differences brought about a quality that was on par with each other. Also, nobody mentions Tactics, the direct sequel to 4. Not a great game by any right, but it at least had SOME merit over that DS game that's not worth mentioning.

I wanted to play Tactics to expand on the S4 story (since it was pretty abysmally weak on its own, but I still enjoyed the rest of the game) but I can't bring myself to power through the misery of the turn-based tile tactical aspect of it. I watched some streams and I'm mildly interested in it, but ehh not sure if I'd ever actually do it.

The best thing about it was that it came with a soundtrack CD full of remixes and rearrangements of songs from the rest of the series, including a song that would be later included in Suikoden V.

Still, though, not as bad as Suikoden Tierkreis, IMO.

5,2,1,3,4 for some reason 5 was my top such a beautiful story man i loved that game

[chandd2307]

2,1,5,3,4 :)

[大魔王]

2 > 1 > 3 > 5 > 4

Luc was fantastic among the series.

[Andar]

2 > 5 > 1 > 3 > Tactics > 4

I wanted to like 3 more than I did, but there were a handful of characters which were absent that I really felt should have had a spot in Suikoden 3. None of them are bad games by any means, although I will say that I found 4 to be disappointing and by far the weakest entry in the series.

Yeah 4 was a big let down for me
