Suikoden was ok, but it wasn't the greatest, and Konami does make crappy rpgs. Especially when they can do so much better.
I'm a Squaresoft fan, and thus a FF fan, but ironically their best work isn't from the FF series, but their other, lesser known works like Chrono Trigger, the Mana series and Xenogears. I also put FFT in this category, since only the title and some names are connected to the series, otherwise the game stands on it's own.
