Do I need to play Suikoden 1 to play Suikoden 2?

You don’t have to, but if you can afford both I would. They’re both good games and if I remember correctly if you recruit all 108 people to your army in the first, two of the main characters from the first return in the second. There are also return characters from the first who appear in the second regardless.

Is Suikoden 2 a sequel?

What About Suikoden I? Now, at this point, you may be wondering: Suikoden II is a sequel, and the original Suikoden is only six bucks on the PlayStation Store.

Is suikoden story connected?

The stories are connected in the sense that they’re part of the same world – but they’re each standalone games as well, because the time periods between the games ensures that no game needs to rely on another. Hope that isn’t as confusing as it looks. In the end, play them in any order that you like.

Should I play the Suikoden games in order?

Just play the games in order. While the story isn’t told in chronological order throughout, reveals in later games rely on knowledge of previous ones, even if they take place earlier in the timeline. But while there’s an obvious path to take in playing Suikoden I-V in order, it’s not the only path.

Is Suikoden on switch?

The wildly successful crowdfunding campaign for Suikoden spiritual successor Eiyuden Chronicle will bear some fruit on Switch. During a 505 Games TGS presentation, the publisher confirmed that the prequel title Eiyuden Chronicle: Rising, which was a stretch goal in the initial campaign, would come to Switch in 2022.

Are Suikoden 1 and 2 connected?

There is a connection between the two games but not a very prominent one. Both have their own individual stories; you just learn more about the past of some characters more. I’d recommend playing Suikoden I, before playing Suikoden II though, since there are benefits to transferring your saved game from I to II.
