Unlike many games these days, there's only one edition of the Suikoden remaster available, so grab it if you want it.
Digital preorders and the Day One physical edition of the game come with a nice little bundle of in-game digital items to use if you want them. You'll get the following:
Potch is the in-game currency. A Fortune Orb doubles the experienced gained by the player holding it. A Prosperity Orb doubles the currency a character receives from battles. The one other caveat is that the main character of the first Suikoden game can't hold both orbs at the same time. The more you know.
The first Suikoden game was released in Japan on the original PlayStation in 1995, with the sequel following in 1998 on the same platform. Both titles made their way to Western markets a year after their Japanese launch. The core gameplay revolves around recruiting 108 warriors to join your cause and battle against the forces of evil.
Some remasters risk losing the original charm with complete graphical overhauls, but this is not the case with Suikoden I & II HD Remaster. The beloved pixelated graphics are largely preserved but optimized for modern widescreen displays. Spell effects have been enhanced for smoother visuals, and character portraits have been redrawn in HD.
In addition to the visual upgrades, several quality-of-life improvements have been implemented. You can now speed up battles or activate an auto-battle mode. The game also features auto-save and a conversation log to prevent missing important dialogue. The user interface has been revamped, making tasks like changing equipment more intuitive.
