Those two sentences rhyming is the funniest unintentional thing I can remember doing. And it sounds like a Dr. Suess rhyme, too.
I definitely wouldn't say 99 percent of RPG characters are pointless, unless you include NPCs like townspeople and whatnot. I've played plenty games where I could indentify or at least have interst in the characters. All Suikoden characters have boring, uninteresting personalites.
What RPGs besides Suikoden has Konami made? Ephemeral Fantasia?
These toolsheds who run around claiming Suikoden is the greatest thing ever are annoying, but nothing is worse than the unfair bias the general media has towards Square. I'm not even bothering with Crystal Chronicles or whatever the shelving out. And it's sad they're delaying the US release of SO3 so much, if it had Final Fantasy in its title it would have been released months ago.
