Konami :(

So basically the game is not set within the Suikoden world the previous games took place in, and there aren't even army battles. Wtf is the point then? They basically took out everything that makes Suikoden... well a Suikoden game. GG Konami.

I don't if this is old or what, but even so I think it deserves its own thread.

And they made him a Lord of Cinder. Not for virtue, but for might. Such is a lord, I suppose. But here I ask. Do we have a sodding chance?
Ho, ho, ho.

Ok mission based is not bad, nor is the money coming from said missions, but WHAT THE HELL at those other. No True Runes?! No Tir?! No nothing from Suikoden?!

I'd wait on some of those points. A few are speculative information from someone very bitter about the game. :lol

But yeah, if you were expecting traditional Suikoden from when it was announced and especially after we saw those videos I think you'll be disappointed. This is the next Masayuki Saruta Suikoden, at least they aren't numbering it.

haven't kept up with information(didn't know a DS version existed) but I hope it isn't S6 and just some offspin title because I don't want this.

They seems to be rumors, rather then facts... that "no re-occurring character confirmed yet" seems to prove it.
Anyway, no true runes and no 1 VS 1 duels is definitely its weakest point :(

I wouldnt say bail out just yet. Being a spinoff and all, thats just like saying bail out at Final Fantasy Tactics...or Dragon Quest Monsters.

I'm playing Suikoden V right now and it is my first Suikoden game, so I'm not really into the Suikoden world, but if the impressions of the game are anything good when it comes out, I'll get it.

If the game ends up being good, there is not reason not to get it, at least for non-Suikoden purists.

No true runes and set in a parallel world? The only thing that gets me to keep playing Suikoden these days is my attachment to the world. It sure isn't the story or gameplay.

This is not a good turn. Pretty much everything that made Suikoden, Suikoden has been taken out. I'll probably have to pass on this one. Don't play many handheld games as it is. don't have much time for RPGs anymore, I could've worked a Suikoden in there, but this I don't know...

This is like VP DS all over again. Will these games be any good? Stay tuned!

This game is still a must buy. Not bailing out. I stay for the story and characters. The mission based gameplay is something new, I guess. But that doesn't make it bad. Maybe it will turn out to be something special. Wait for release, and then post judgment.

I am glad I didn't get excited about this, because if I had this would have killed all of it.

Suikoden V was great. I don't care if you make it for PS2 Konami, make a new one and make it like I/II/V.

I found the scans, this game is about a universe of parallel worlds and people are crossing through them by gateways. Does nobody remember the Gate Rune???? Suikoden??? Hello?

Overreaction total, did nobody here play Suikoden Tactics either? :lol

:lol the game sounds like shit.

though to be honest, i don't give a shit about losing the lame 1-on-1 duels or crappy sim battles. they were among the least important aspects of suikoden.



i may still get it because i still think the premise is pretty cool even if the actual story ends up sucking.

Sounds like their testing the waters to see how this does before they dedicate themselves to going full on Suikoden?

I fail to see where this is going to be a bad game.

As long as it's good, I will buy it.

So... it's basically a random RPG with the Suikoden name slapped on? Why even get our hopes up and call it suikoden then?

So they're testing the waters for Suikoden by making a game that is trying its hardest not to be Suikoden. It makes perfect sense!

Spin off, folks. I propose waiting until the game hits before leveraging hasty judgments.

This game doesn't look remotely like a Suikoden game. Is it any surprise that the gameplay is nothing like one either?
Just don't buy it; show companies that you aren't a sucker for something just because they slap a familiar label on it.

Umm then we wouldnt have Final Fantasy Tactics, Metroid Prime, World of Warcraft or Mario Kart.

Sure most of these take place in the same universe, but all have gameplay that is nothing close to the series they originated from.

Yeah, exactly. How much better would the world have been without shit- wha... wait a moment I love those games. You sneaky bastard.


Except WoW, which I've never tried.

Final Fantasy is different every time. This is the OPPOSITE of what Suikoden stood for, which often was re-occurring shit. We're starved for these games too, they haven't made a great one since 2.

People want the next great Suikoden not the next spin off.

So it's a Suikoden Gaiden? I'm not affected by this either way since my knowledge of Suikoden can be summed up as "ah-yup, heard the name somewhere". I'll wait and see, maybe it's a decent game. Maybe not. Only time will tell.

DS rpgs...:lol

I consider myself an rpg fan who plays most rpgs but I don't care about 90% of the rpgs on DS. Occasionally there will be one really worth playing like FF4r or DQIX or the eventually DQVIr, but otherwise I expect the worst from every ds rpg and if it's actually great I'll give it a shot later after great reviews. Everyone seems to put their mediocre C-teams on the DS rpgs and reserve their good staff for console rpgs.

Told you it was like a side game before I was banned. May seem like an actual Suikoden but I think it sounds closer to Suikoden Tactics. Well I guess that's an overstatement but still, mission based gameplay? come on!
