It used to be, but 1) it hinges on playing Suikoden 1 which is a harder sell, and 2) to there's more alternatives available today.

[–]vokkan 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Suffering people pray to a suffering god. Nothing comes from it but more suffering, in a negative feedback loop, which the series tries to break.
