Suikoden II, whee.
Whee. Suikoden II has a random name generator for those of us who can't think of what to call our hero. (It's a little irritating that there isn't a default name for him, but understandable.)
Unfortunately, the game's prone (as all Japanese games are) to bizarre translations, like "I haven't sharped for very long time" from a blacksmith, and "Don't waist you money okay?" from the owner of an item shop.
Thoughts after six hours of play:
Jowy is hilariously naive. Nanami is just hilarious. (Poor, poor <Hero> - I named him Robin - she just beats him up because she loves him. It's nice to see a main character with siblings for once, too. ^_^) And <Hero> and Nanami's Unite attack is excellent. I've been doing it just for the comedy value.
It's also a lot of fun spotting characters who turn up - a lot older, of course - in Suikoden III. I think I've met two so far, and I'm fairly sure there are more.
