Suikoden III (2002)
Suikoden III is a 2002 rpg video game made by Konami Digital Entertainment.
The Grassland War has fractured the region between three factions: the Grassland clans, the Zexen Confederacy, and the Holy Kingdom of Harmonia looming at the edges. Suikoden III tells its story from three vantage points simultaneously: Hugo, a young Grassland clansman; Chris Lightfellow, the Zexen knight known as the Silver Maiden; and Geddoe, a mercenary commander with a past tied to the True Runes. The game's Trinity Sight System lets players play through the same events from each perspective before the threads converge, showing how the same moment reads differently depending on where you stand.
