Original “Suikoden” character designer Junko Kawano has redrawn all character portraits in HD.
Audio improvements feature enhanced environmental sounds and HD battle sound effects, contributing to a more immersive gaming experience. The collection also introduces quality-of-life updates such as a dialogue log, auto-battle feature, and the option for double-speed battles.
With these enhancements, Suikoden I & II HD Remaster: Gate Rune and Dunan Unification Wars aims to bring these beloved JRPGs to a new generation of players while offering longtime fans a fresh way to experience the classics.
