Suikoden 1 item management is primative garbage

[waywardJesus]

Wow. If there is something that I forgot about this old game it is how trash its inventory and item management is. Oh boy talk about something that really could have used some TLC.

If you agree, make sure to caveat your response by declaring how much you still love the game (It is one of my favs).

If you disagree, be sure to call me names and tell me why the inventory system and complete lack of item management actually makes the game better.

At least we can run now without Stallion in our party, and that's a big difference. Hoping being on PC we see some qol mods.

Yeah it's not great. But it is a remaster not a remake, they're gonna leave some dust and cobwebs in.

Edit: forgot to say something mean. You stink, ya big dork!

Lubb game, but could have used a little love in this regard

The amount of times I accidentally sell an Equipment and buying the same items over and over again, going through each character inventory to transfer items here and there.
Ahh, good times.. good times...

Well, the game did come out in 1995 and is merely a remaster, not a remake. So yeah, it's pretty primitive. lol

Suikoden is a fantastic game.

But yet, the inventory system was one of its weak points. Just one more example of how the second game is all around better than the first.

I'm glad the remaster kept the blinking mirror out of any specific character's inventory.

If anything, the inventory is even worse in the remaster, due to being unable to see who can and can't use equipment, and it was always one of the worst parts of the game. Luckily for me I've played it enough that i hardly notice it anymore. I accept it as an unfortunate inevitablity whenever i play.

Well you can see the improvement from 1 to 2 in basically every way for sure.

Exactly this. It did drive me crazy. Fortunately I'm already battling the last boss. I hope they'll improve it with a patch.

It seems the majority in this thread has NOT played the Original. The item management in the Original was peak! It's the Remaster that totally botched it :(

RPGs are all about limits. You are the worst.

While the remaster did, in many ways, make it worse. The original had an slightly improved version of the inventory system of Ultima III, trading off individual items and no party inventory. Made every dungeon a pain as you filled up with too much loot for your extremely limited inventory. The second game did it far better, i must say. Much as i love the first in the series.

you talk about suikoden 2 where it improved, in suikoden 1 had you no options to putt stuff in a bag or equip stuff and then inmediatly trade it out for it.

the inventory system is in both 1 and 2 the same in the remaster.
