Hmm they should've left the original character art alone.
I still believe Suikoden would've had a lot more success if not for the awful romance novel box art.

Small print runs but
The Biggest problem was being released during Square Enix's run of absolute bangers on the PS1.

1 came out when JRPGs were still incredibly niche in the US (until FF7). This is the box art they used for the NA version.

I would've never known about Suikoden if it wasn't for an Electronics Boutique employee. Had just got a Playstation, went in, asked the guy if he could recommend a good RPG for Playstation, told him I was a fan of Final Fantasy and Chrono Trigger and he recommended Suikoden. I trusted the guy and bought it and it became one of my favorite games of all time.
 
Trailer for Terrifier 3 dropped today, looks like Art The Clown is up to his old shenanigans but with a holiday twist
Terrifier 1 & 2 are really good gore flicks, you should all check em out if youre into that stuff

Well the pickings were slim at the time. It was either Suikoden or...Beyond the Beyond.
I got it years later brand new at Sears for $10. Getting all 108 characters was digital crack.

Good ol EB.
Did you play Parasite Eve?
Man i love that game.
 
I think these are the only PS1 JRPGs that came out here until FF7 opened the floodgates.

Beyond the Beyond (Sep 96) awful
Persona (Dec 96) good but weird
Suikoden (Dec 96) great
Wild Arms (Apr 97) good

Yeah I loved both Parasite Eve games.

Square was crushing it back then. FF 7, 8, 9, FF Tactics, Xenogears, the side scroller ship game Einhander, Vagrant Story, Front Mission 2 & 3, so many dope games.

I remember getting Persona at a pawn shop for $5 lol that game was extra weird at the time. Didn't revisit the Persona games until 5. I want to play that 3 remake that came out recently, that game looks wild.
