For me, this is the best opening to a video game. The song is hypnotically catchy and the animation is top notch. Few games pull off a truly jaw-dropping opening, and Suikoden III does it right! Such an underrated series.

This opening is insanely good, and makes you feel heroic, and a sense of desire to embark on an adventure with the characters. Of course, it goes without saying that the music (although I have no idea about the lyrics) make the whole intro. The song is just so wistful. Being native american, every time I saw hugo in the intro, I felt a sense of pride for my people. All that feeling from a video game, who knew?

Easily my favourite Suikoden game in the series, and it had an awesome opening. I wish a sequel could happen so we could see some of these characters again (I know about 4 and 5, but those take place in the past). What bugs me the most about this opening is that there are a few parts here that don't happen at all in the game (those that have played it will know what I'm talking about).

@MassMisanthropy Suikoden is based on the chinese classic Shui hu zhuan (The water margin) Playing the games made me interested in the book. Reading the book made me interested in learning chinese. Learning chinese made me interested in moving to China. Moving to China made my life a lot more interesting. I have now visited the places where many of the characters from the book were born, where they fought and died. Next time there is evil in the country, once again 108 heroes will be born.

I have to agree. But there was one mini-game I as partial to. It was the playhouse, and it was even better if you had ported Suikoden I to Suikoden II and then to Suikoden III. There were two extra play scripts you'd get if you managed to chain them.

@MassMisanthropy Well, there is that new Suikoden game for the PSP that's coming out. It looks horribly generic, though. Konami DID disband its RPG team, and most of them were hired at Tri-Ace, so the chances of a new Suikoden masterpiece are really, REALLY slim.

The manga for Suikoden III was awesome I still have them and they are my favourite, it gives you a fair bit of good history on what happens in 1 and 2 and the storyline is very good.

Y'know, at 0:35 when it says "The Story Never ends", I really wish that were true. But something good or even great and amazing never lasts forever. More-so, the longer something good goes on the more chance it has to become something bad or mediocre, look at the Final Fantasy series. There has not been a major Suikoden since Suikoden V, which was over coincidentally, five years ago. Every day that goes by, the chances of a Suikoden VI dwindle, and it's really a shame.

They could do one final game based around what happened after Suikoden III. We never did deal with the Emperor of Harmonia... who, coincidentally, wanted to gather all 27 True Runes. What would happen if all 27 True Runes DID gather? There are many unanswered questions about certain holders of those runes (which are supposed to give immortality in the sense of not dying from natural causes). Why not make a conclusionary game bringing together all prior main characters/True Rune-bearers?

That would be II for me, but after playing all of the rest, I quickly realized that the entire series always feels incomplete if ANY of all of its games were changed. I think every single Suikoden is awesome in its own way and they all make up one of the greatest RPG series to have ever existed. Final Fantasy is honestly overrated (especially the latest games). Nothing can phase me more than the Suikoden series up until today.
