Is it just me or is Suikoden Remaster crazy fast to complete?

I mean, the battle fastfowarding helps somewhat.. but my PSX games were all over 40 hours each, some reaching 60.

but I beat Suikoden 1 Remaster last night in under 14 hours (Perfect ending, for those curious). I wasnt rushing or speed running, or following a guide or anything. Just memory, and even with lots of exploring after everystory step to recruit everyone the game still came down to 1/4th what some of my games on the PSX version ways.

and theres no story removed or abridged or anything that I can find.. I just can't imagine having a little bit of fast foward in battles can erase 25-45 hours of game play?

Suikoden II's intro music continues to be one of the greats of video game music to this day.

And it does such a magnificent, beautiful job of evoking and condensing the emotional roller coaster of the story down into just about 2 and a half minutes of music.

Starts out low, drawn out, tense. Quickly becomes heavy, evoking a sense of dread and conflict before dumping you off the edge into the uncertanty and panic of conflict and war, building up to a great horror before mellowing out to give you a moments rest..before a massive tonal shift that becomes hopeful, uplifting, an anthem of brighter days ahead. Then it gets more complex, more deep, adding new instruments that represent the new recruits and the growing of the liberation army, before finishing off in a beautiful and powerful crescendo as a triumph over the dark trials earlier in the music.
