I'm chugging away at Suikogaiden Vol. 1, but it's going to take a long time to finish. If anybody has or can find a Japanese Suikoden 2 save and/or completed save games for both Suikogaiden games, it would help me a great deal. Anyway, here's a preview - it's not a complete sheet by any means, but it should give you an idea of what I'm doing.

Those seem to be squished?
Tsunami Bomb - The Simple Truth
We could run away
Leave behind anything paper
Not knowing where we're going to stay
When there's no Mondays
You're part of me, it's so easy to see the simple truth
When I'm in your arms, I feel safe from harm and sorrow too
You're part of me, it's so easy to see the simple truth
But most of all, nothing couldn't be solved when I'm with you

Oh right, I meant to comment on that. That's just the way they're stored in the VRAM, and if you keep the PSX aspect ratio intact when using an emulator, they look the same way in game. You have to stretch the whole screen to make them look right, but I posted them as is because I didn't want to distort the original image.

I've got an actual copy of the game I bought several years ago. I'm not sure where you would find it now.

I've confirmed the game's native resolution is 512x240, very squished compared to other PSX games.
Meh, also realized I probably should have posted this in the Sprite Discussion forum, but at least it seems to be picking up speed now!

Way to steal my thunder - I've actually gotten everything from chapter 1 and 2 now, halfway through 3, just haven't had time to put it all together.
Edit: There's definitely at least one background you've missed, and you're missing some of Ayana as well -

It's going to take several play-throughs to rip everything, as the branching paths and story/popularity/secret points confuse the hell out of me. After you've finished the game, though, you can use an in-game viewer to see all of the backgrounds you've seen while playing, which would make ripping those much easier (100% save file, anyone??). All in all, Suikogaiden is proving to be a lot easier than I had anticipated, so hopefully I'll have some finished sheets up soon. Going to work now, though, RAWR.
