Suikoden V (PS2)
In Suikoden V, players find themselves in the land of Falena, a prosperous and beautiful country governed by the matriarchy and the benevolent power of the Sun Rune. As civil unrest arises, the queen is forced to use the Sun Rune to quell the uprising, but at what cost? Players take on the role of Prince of Falena in an expansive quest to uncover the mysteries surrounding the Sun Rune, the civil unrest and the dark intent of an unknown power, in the greatest Suikoden saga yet! The game features the largest storyline in the Suikoden series to date, with fully voiced-over cut scenes, branching story paths, multiple endings, and incredible plot twists. Players will uncover the 108 Stars of Destiny and battle with more than 60 playable characters for the most memorable Suikoden experience to date!
Like its predecessors in the Suikoden series, Suikoden V offers unparalleled, in-depth gameplay, 3-D environments, a riveting storyline and the series’ trademark 108 Stars of Destiny. The game also expands upon the gameplay foundations of previous Suikoden titles with 6-member battle parties, multiple mini-games, and a Tactical Formation System that allows for over 20 strategic formations in battle. Players can also take part in huge military skirmishes, issuing commands to hundreds of troops on screen to stake their claim as their rightful ruler of Falena.
