A month after release, Are you still playing V?

jjrrs

It's been a month after the North America release date, enough time for most people to finish the game. I on the other hand is taking my sweet time on the first run through, since getting it on release day I played on average 2 hours a day and never missed a day except on April 1st(after playing for half an hour, I was too depressed by that day's events to go on and shut down without saving)

I'm at 57 hours+ after spending over the last week backtracking about 5 hours of storyline, I think I'm still about at least 1/4 away from finishing the game. With a slow summer coming up I'm pretty sure finishing up V will lead me going back to finish IV, then finally getting the save file to replay tactics and possibly replaying V again if there is time, which means a great summer full of suikoden playing coming up for me, hopefully all leading up to a VI announcement... How's everyone else doing?

Picked the third option because it was closest to my situation- I've had classes to deal with again and there are other games I wanted to get around to playing (including Kingdom Hearts 2, which I now kind of regret buying, to be perfectly honest). However, Suikoden V's been the most addicting game I've played all year and I certainly can't wait to get back to it.

I'm at a crossroads.

I don't know whether to start a New Game+ file or just start a new game with the name 'Faroush'.

Shut up, these are the things that really trouble me.

I've played it through three times already and I'm done with it. Unless the bug bites me and I itch for Suikoden V, I won't be playing it anymore. Its a phenominal game, but I've moved on to Dragon Quest VIII.

If for any reason I need to see something about a character, I have my best save file before you head into the Ashtewal Mountains. All 108 characters and everything. Most of the chatracters have been leveled up to level 55 at least, some more so. Others are still at level 20 something or less. I just ran out of time and care. I really don't think I'll gain anything spectacular by leveling Bergen up further. I'd rather plop on my best party and go slaying monsters, or having Moroon in reserves to listen to the alternate battle theme.

I voted #4.

I'll play Suikoden V again by summer. I've been meaning to play other games lately, but I'm still having problems getting to them...

I'm also going to play III and IV. I meant to play them before V, but I didn't have enough time...

Played and finished it once. You couldn't pay me to play it again.

....has it been a MONTH ALREADY?! :shock:

I've sort of started my third playthrough using a walkthrough (to cut down on time).

I just beat it yesterday, actually. I'm in Lordlake on my playthrough, so I picked the first choice(though I'm only in the beginning). This time, I'll get Eresh and be sure to recruit Sairoh early because I spent around 10 hours waiting for him to become recruitable at the end of the game. It drove me insane, to be honest...

I've almost finished my second playthrough. I got all 108 stars this time and chose Euram. I got Eresh first time.

I've set a few goals for myself this time round:
1) Get everyone's weapon level to at least 10 - almost done
2) Have everyone over level thirty with reasonable armour
3) Collect all books/windows/sounds/voices/tactics
4) See all bath scenes (except Eresh's - saw it last time)
5) Collect at least one of every Rune. - this one's the hardest because I can't seem to find any fortune rune peices and Gold rabbits aren't dropping prosperity peices for me.

After this playthrough I'm gonna finally finish Tactics, then replay Suikoden I for the umpteenth time.
