Why do (some) people prefer TBS?

I'm not saying everyone prefers TBS over Lost Age, but I've met a fair share of people who prefer it, huh. Not to mention Dark Dawn seems to heavily favor TBS with its references, huh. I mean, we do have SOME stuff for Lost Age, but you know.

Anyways, you guys wanna defend TBS for me? I personally think that TLA is better in every way so I wanna hear this, huh.

The end game level. Because of how low it is, you don't quite hit the point that physical attacks become godly - rather, physical and spells are still somewhat close.

Now don't get me wrong - it's not that it's balanced, just the appearance of balance - and if you level enough and use the swift sword and what not, you can see hints of what was to come in TLA.

Is it perfect? No. But the flaws in the system were far less visiable.

That's my views, at least.

So... it's a question of mechanics? That's actually kind of a first, huh.

It's mechanics for me. I mean, I'm the mechanics girl here. It's other things for other people.

The Broken Seal - it's the JP subtitle for GS1.

Yeah, sorry, most people around the community refer toGS1 as TBS, GS2 as TLA, and GS3 as DD, for reference, huh.

You... really love Suikoden, huh?
Gotta say, the vast number of playable characters is, well, vast. Just another game that proves PS1 superior.

Maybe the nostalgia factor? Although I think the general consensus is that TLA was the better of the two since it just had so much more content.

Nostalgia does seem to be a huge factor, since people prefer Isaac over Felix and Dark Dawn seemed to do a lot of Nostalgia Pandering, huh.

TLA could feel a bit too long at times (Air/Magma rock, I'm looking at you.)

Also, TBS felt more urgent in a way. TLA felt like you were floofing about in the eastern sea area.
