@docower oh interesting! For me the map, music and variety of cast encompasses the Suikoden feeling for me exactly. I think Nowa talking instead of being silent does throw me off a little and dungeons/bosses having gimmicks right from the get go and puzzles being a little confusing does make it un-Suikoden for me. However for what it's worth, it isnt Suikoden so I try not to compare like that.
