In this episode, Steve talks about the legendary Konami JRPG series, Suikoden. It was a fairly popular series, having five main entries, on the PlayStation and PlayStation 2. It featured 108 characters to find, three types of battle, and deep storylines that were emotional and consequential. 

Steve talks about each game and the changes between them. He also breaks down the themes, motifs, and commonality between the games. It concludes with what has happened to Suikoden since the fifth entry and why there hasn’t been a new game in so long. 

For people who haven’t played Suikoden, this episode will definitely feature spoilers and may be a bit hard to understand at certain points. Nevertheless, if you choose to listen, I hope you enjoy it and find inspiration to check out or play one of these wonderful games.
