Suikoden

Through a series of events the hero becomes involved in a rebellion against the Empire, led by an organization known as the Liberation Army.

Will the hero find a new home there, will he be able to tear himself away from everything that has been sacred to him, including his own father? Suikoden is a Japanese-style role-playing game with several unusual additions.

There are three kinds of combat in the game, the most common one being the traditional turn-based party combat (players can have up to six people in their active party).

Magic runes can be equipped on the player's characters which allow limited usage of offensive and healing spells.

There are also a few army battles, where the player must control whole units of fighters, archers, magicians, etc., and one-on-one fights (duels).

The game allows the player to build and customize a castle, which serves as their home base and fortress. 108 characters can be recruited in the game, a tribute to 108 Stars Of Destiny in "Water Margins".

Many of those characters will be available as active party members and participate in battles, while others will act as strategy advisers, or enhance the castle itself in various ways.

Suikoden for PlayStation is currently worth €56.02 loose, €122.39 complete in box, and €131.60 factory sealed. Prices are based on real sales and update regularly on Gamevaro.

Suikoden has a steady sales history on the tracked marketplaces, meaning it trades hands regularly and isn't considered particularly rare.

Loose means cartridge or disc only, CIB (complete in box) includes the original box and manual, and sealed means factory-sealed and never opened. For Suikoden, loose is €56.02 and CIB is €122.39 — CIB commands a premium because original boxes and manuals are fragile and often don't survive.

The PAL version of Suikoden is currently worth €56.02 loose, versus €39.71 for NTSC-U. Regional price differences usually come down to print run size and regional collector demand.
