I, II, and III were great. It's true though, II is probably the best. Suikoden I did look dated (although I still really like the graphics). I've heard it was originally intended for SNES, but was revamped at the last minute for Playstation. Suikoden II is visually stunning in my opinion. I love a good 2D RPG, and the detail in that game is amazing. I have to admit, I had some problems getting into the story as well, but after Luca Blight died the game really took off for me. I say give it another chance, but I mean if it doesn't speak to you then it just doesn't speak to you. I'd like to believe Suikoden is for everyone, but maybe that's not true XD
III was perfection except for the terrible N64 graphics *shudder*... I'm partial to 2D. Honestly I wish all Suikodens were 2D.
IV had potential. I was really, really excited about it. Without the terrible sailing element it wouldn't have been that bad.
Suikoden V was good, really true to the Suikoden style. But holy shit... the voice acting was unbearable. They gave one of the lead characters that really annoying squeaky anime girl voice and it just made me want to shoot myself. Other than that though I thoroughly enjoyed it. Although at times I felt it lacked seriousness. It also ended quite abruptly.
I do feel particularly special about it, and if you ever have the time you should try again. :]
