Suikoden #02 — The Pig Scene

October 13th, 2026

 

Glad we saw fit to work that in.

Impressions:

Can't say this is making a good argument to stick with it either. I think my favorite part of the episode is how Prince Murderlust killed that one dude and literally nobody cared. The two main characters kick in the door and don't even acknowledge the fresh corpse that just got name dropped as someone they needed to go after. No! Not the child! We've only razed two villages/corps of innocent people to spur us into action! Action which they will not be taking this week despite this being effectively the third episode.

No, they're going to be sitting in strategy meetings and feeding random street vagrants. We need another four monologues about how much Murderboy likes to torture, humiliate, and murder people for fun. Exciting adventures we're having. Also, can't help but think that ya'll were part of the murder army to start with, and all aboard invading and razing these villages just a few days ago. Now we're gung-ho on torching our countrymen? Our noble heroes are feeling pretty damn mercenary. Things we gloss over in an RPG, but the intrusive thoughts start to win when you're forced to sit through twenty minutes of them discussing and deliberating.
