You know. I'm glad Konami is actually developing a new Suikoden title It will probably stay in Japan, or maybe be put on PSN so people will play it on Vita here. I'm happy that they're keeping the Suikoden IP afloat somehow, even if it's not what I want. I just love the original world, lore, politics and characters so much. It's sincerely near and dear to my heart.
But if this is how Konami is going to use the Genso Suikoden name, then... to be honest, I'm not sure how to feel about this. I need to know more about this game, the gameplay mechanics, the plot, etc. before passing judgement on it. I know for sure that I'll play it, but... I don't know how to feel about this.
I'm just hoping that it'll satisfy that Genso Suikoden itch that's been begging to be scratched. But ... I don't think I'm going to hold my breath on that one.

It's not that Tierkreis was a bad game per say, it was adequate for a nice, light RPG. It's just that I can't believe that they'd still stay away from the main canon series after the overwhelmingly bleh reception it got for totally forsaking the original continuity.
I'm going to wait for more information, but this is already looking disappointing. Such highs and lows in the course of a few minutes. :/
Yeah, it's ... uh, I don't think I've gone to such a high and then ended up crashing in a matter of seconds. :lol
Tierkreis was a great RPG, and I should really play it again to give it a proper unbiased playthrough. But it wasn't a great Suikoden title based on the fact that it did not have a lot of links to the original canon (despite GS4 and Tactics having links to the million worlds issue).
