Suikoden was sort of impenetrable for me as a kid. Whereas you could easily stumble through final fantasy, suikoden felt like it had just enough going for it that you actually needed to understand its mechanics. The vast cast was always intimidating and I wouldn’t ever use anyone who didn’t seem obviously strong immediately, and I suspect that was why it felt hard.
On the other hand revisiting turn based rpgs of my youth has generally found them insanely easy (just use buffs) so it could also just be that.

- p1necone 3y agoI used to struggle with rpgs as a kid because I had absolutely no patience. I'd just throw myself at bosses while underlevelled over and over again rather than spend a bit of time levelling up/getting better gear etc before trying again. Now that I've grown up a little, they feel faster and easier.
- jncfhnb 3y agoI’m not so sure. I know that I used to grind way more as a kid and still struggled more. I think the big differences are: not using buffs (immensely important), healing too much, trying to use only the biggest attacks, focusing on the biggest bad on the enemy team, Suikoden may have been different with all its characters and actually demanded some grinding?
