Help me lose my JRPG virginity.
The problem with Suikoden I was that the combat was not good, not that it was grindy. The game had no gameplay worth playing through, apart from collecting the mooks for your castle, and the plot barely existed. The art direction was dire too. As far as JRPGs are concerned I reckon the first Suikoden is at about at the same level as such uniquely horrible games as Secret of the Stars, Tales of Destiny or Breath of Fire. With this in mind, I never could understand how the Japanese green-light sequels for so much obvious dreck. And this brings me to Suikoden 2, which I guess seems good, if you live your whole life in a sensory deprivation chamber with only a playstation, a TV, and the first game. For that limited group of people it must have seemed a revolutionary advancement as it had some gameplay and a plot in there. Note that Suikoden 2 is, for many people to this day, still the best the series has to offer.

A little late to the party, but the best, while also accessible games in that list are Chrono Trigger and FFVI. Play those first in that order. If you enjoy them move on to other games in your list, but if not, don't bother. That said, the best game in your list is Vagrant Story, but its convoluted systems are not for the faint of heart. You can also give FFXII a whirl if you want as long as it is the remake. I'm the best person to tell you about the SMT games, but there are those that swear by the series. The Suikoden games are all bad games, with the exception of the first one which goes beyond that and is one of the worst JRPGs anyone has ever designed. I also noticed you mentioned the Last Remnant, and that's a pretty good game if you invest loads time in understanding the system, enjoy grinding, manage to survive the gameplay hump that is the first 5 or 6 hours of game, and, most importantly don't mind ignoring the story completely. I think it's one of the games on my Steam library with more hours played.

What the **** does "anarcho-tyranny state" even mean? Are you guys just mashing random political-sounding words in the hopes you land on something dire-sounding enough to scare the impressionable into listening? Stop selling your communist-capitalist monarchic propaganda, for Karl's sake! Edit: So the term was coined by a white nationalist columnist back in the 90s. Figures. Yeah so what you seem upset lol and live in your dream world. Being white by the way is perfectly ok and good to be lol. Nothing wrong with being white, but I said "white nationalist", which is a very different thing. And the proof of being white nationalist is... he's white therefore he is white nationalist, duh. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Samuel_T._Francis "Samuel Todd Francis (April 29, 1947 – February 15, 2005), known as Sam Francis, was an American white nationalist, writer and syndicated columnist in the United States. He was a columnist and editor for the conservative Washington Times until he was fired after making racist remarks at the 1995 conference of the group American Renaissance.[1] Francis was later become a "dominant force" on the Council of Conservative Citizens,[2] an anti-black, anti-immigrant group that espoused racism."

1/8th of your month? Damn bro, what do you work in? He's from Eastern Europe, probably somewhere in the former USSR, given that he complains about Russian prices. Portugal used to get lots of immigration from the region, before the crisis. The take away is that there are some former Soviet Republics where things are so bad, even moving to a place like Portugal would be considered a step up.- Politics Thread: Edge of Seventeen
