Suikoden III has a lot of nifty plot twists and character appearances that would shock one who had played Suikoden I and II. However, Suikoden III was the first of the series to go 3D, which took a bit out of the usual gameplay and overall feel of the first two. Also, while the third game is excellent by normal standards, it didn't feel as "epic" as I had hoped, having played the first two before hand.


So, without playing the first two, you should be impressed by the story line, mass of characters, the gameplay, and possibly even the graphics (they're mediocre). You will miss out on inside jokes and plot twists though.

Looking forward to playing it, when it comes out here.
