One day, during an escort mission, the knights' ship is attacked by pirates.
Through a series of events, the hero is branded with the Rune of Punishment, one of the twenty-seven legendary True Runes.
While devastating the enemies, this rune is also bound to deplete its bearer's life.
Blamed for the death of his commander, who was unable to withstand the power of the rune, the young knight is exiled from his homeland.
He must find a way to use his powers for the good of the Island Nations, fight against a Kooluk invasion, and restore his honor in the process.
Suikoden IV is a prequel to the entire series.
The events of the game take place a hundred and fifty years before those of the first game , and the region of the Suikoden universe they occur in are the islands south of Toran.
The game retains many classic features of the series: the ability to recruit 108 characters (Stars of Destiny); building and customization of army headquarters (this time a large ship instead of a castle); emphasis on political issues in the story; the ability to equip runes of various kinds in combat that allow the usage of magic spells, etc.
The amount of active combatants in the party has been reduced from six to four in this installment.
Once again, there are three types of combat in the game: the most frequent turn-based party-vs.-party combat, duels, and tactical battles, which now take place on sea.
The player can customize the the naval forces by choosing captains and commanding officers, and assigning to them runic elements.
Each element has strengths and weaknesses to another one, and the player must use them tactically to gain the upper hand.

About PlayStation 3
Released in 2006, the PlayStation 3 had a rocky start thanks to its high launch price but became known for its exclusive franchises and Blu-ray drive, which doubled as an early home theater upgrade for many households. PS3 collecting is still relatively young — most titles are inexpensive — but the console's digital PSN storefront closure risk has pushed more collectors toward physical copies specifically to preserve access.
Gamevaro tracks Suikoden IV for PlayStation 3 with separate market values for loose, complete-in-box (CIB) and factory-sealed copies, sourced from real eBay sales. Prices also vary by region — PAL, NTSC-U and NTSC-J releases of the same game often sell for different amounts due to print run sizes and regional collector demand.
Adding Suikoden IV to a Gamevaro collection takes seconds — search by title or scan the box barcode, and the app fills in cover art, release details and current pricing automatically. This PS3 release dates back to 2017.
