i liked the first two suikodens a lot as well. 3 wasnt bad and 5 woulda been great if it werent so rediculously easy. i mean all of them were a little too easy but five was just silly how easy they made it. i never played 4, so i cant say anything about that one.
You didnt miss anything, after the awesomeness of the first two (never played 3) collecting the 114 stars of destiny in 4 was a tradgedy of epic failness. There was only one real 'dungeon' area in the whole game, most of the your time is spent crossing oceans, literally hours of going very slowly in a straight line, fighting the same 2 or 3 monster types every 2 seconds, random encounter rate was stupid. Overall the graphics were much improved, but it seems like they just ran out of time to add content to it.
