Hopefully this will be the end of their "million worlds" experiment.
It won't be. Unless this game is the last in the franchise, every future title will be a million worlds title. Real Suikoden is dead.

Hmmm, battles look very Tierkreisesque. Hopefully this will be the end of their "million worlds" experiment.
Take a look at the Kiseki series Konami and remember what you once had, and could have again, please.
Nothing is ever really dead.It won't be. Unless this game is the last in the franchise, every future title will be a million worlds title. Real Suikoden is dead.
Real Suikoden can live on in Frontier Gate!It won't be. Unless this game is the last in the franchise, every future title will be a million worlds title. Real Suikoden is dead.
Whoops. Forgot to rip the art from this. I miss Ishikawa already. Most of the character descriptions fall in line with their descriptions from Famitsu. The other characters detailed this week are not up on the site yet. Oh my at some of those textures.The entry on the Konami store with all the different things you can buy

famitsu said:He is a swordsman in Terube Village. His father died when he was a child. His mother was killed during clashes with the Holy Aionian Imperial Army several years ago.
"...Please tell me what happened in this time period."
A swordsman from Terube Village. His father died when he was a child. His mother, Signey, died in battle during clashes against the Holy Aionian Imperial Army several years ago. His mother was a swordswoman specializing in the "Blue Flash" style, and had instructed him in the technique since his childhood. Since her death, he has continued his training alone, and was just accepted as a swordsman.
Famitsu said:She is the Terube Village magician. She is also Gino's sister. After the hero lost both of his parents, she treated him like her real brother.
"As if we'll follow orders from someone who doesn't even understand facial expressions!"
A magician from Terube Village, and she is also Gino's older sister. After the Hero lost both of his parents, they have been raised as if they were real siblings. She is skilled at wielding a magic staff, and is one of the most skilled young mages in Terube Village.
Famitsu said:Terube Village magic stone (demon stone?) craftsman. He is the hero's childhood friend, as well as Miyura's younger brother. He is easily elated by flattery and praised, but is usually scolded by his older sister as a result.
"You thinking about that again? You're way too serious."
A magic stone craftsman from Terube Village and also Miyura's younger brother. He is the Hero's childhood friend. At his sister's insistence, he became a craftsman of magic stones. He is easily pleased, but likes to behave in a silly manner for others' amusement and thus is scolded by Miyura.
Famitsu said:Commanding officer of the 4th infantry division in the Aionian Holy Imperial Army. He has been dispatched to Terube Village in order to keep them in line.
"If Aionia is a monster, then you guys are some interesting monsters yourselves!!"
Commanding officer of the 4th infantry division in the Aionian Holy Imperial Army. He has been dispatched to Terube Village in order to keep them in line. Although he's a soldier, he has a carefree attitude and can exhibit on-the-spot speech and conduct. But he's very popular because he takes the duty of looking after his subordinates seriously.
Famitsu said:A mysterious child appearing before the hero when he sought shelter in the fortress ruins and teleported the hero 100 years in the past.
"This tree is called the Tree of Time. It extends its branches and leaves, transcending time."
A mysterious boy who suddenly appears before the Hero, and sends him and his friends into the past with the power of the Tree of Time.
Designs are pretty meh. Not horrible, but not that exciting either.
:lol
you from a tales game too?
typical character designs.
I have no idea why people insist on creating male characters with half shirts (that painstakingly obvious thief class character)
So... the chance this game will get an English release?

The outfits are nice enough, very belty though. But the characters themselves aren't that interesting, and the art style is definitely not helping.Designs are good, art isn't exciting.
I don't mind half shirts when they are implemented well. (ie. Not on scrawny waifs.)I have no idea why people insist on creating male characters with half shirts (that painstakingly obvious thief class character)
A PSN release, maybe. Doesn't look too promising right now though.So... the chance this game will get an English release?
I'm going to bet on none because PSP and Tierkreis didn't do so well.
It's a PSP game in 2012. Zero chance.
The outfits are nice enough, very belty though. But the characters themselves aren't that interesting, and the art style is definitely not helping.
The heavy armor dude is the only one that seems semi-intriguing just by looking at the art, but I have a feeling he's the probably theof the game.Ted/Jowy/Lulu/Snowe/Sialeeds/Dirk
FREE ISHIKAWA!The art is just too simplistic looking, kinda like Tierkreis's >.<
It needs more detail, more passion, more awesomeness a'la the mainline Suikoden art~
I don't think it's Kawano. I think she's just doing some of the promo art.FREE ISHIKAWA!
It's odd because I liked Kawano's art for Genso Suikoden. Why the art looks so off here is kind of mindboggling... :/

Yeah, the art looks too strange to be Kawano's.I don't think it's Kawano IMO >.<
Well... maybe. The character description says that he's the commander of the fourth division of the advance troops of the Holy Aionian Imperial Army, and was sent there to make sure the hero's hometown doesn't do any funny business (ie: keep them obedient to their lord or something).The outfits are nice enough, very belty though.

A better reason to buy a PSP is right here.Propably wont be that good but I will buy a PSP and try if it gets a trnslation. Bought a DS for Tierkreis so why not.
Given that Trails LOOKS to be a better Suikoden than Suikoden these days (even if the first installment's way closer to Lunar in tone) it's definitely the better reason. Though who knows where we'll even get the next parts? :/
At least Falcom treat their series' lores properly. I was planning on importing the Trails games that have gone budget sometime in the new year, but I'd much rather play them in English. Fingers-crossed!Given that Trails LOOKS to be a better Suikoden than Suikoden these days (even if the first installment's way closer to Lunar in tone) it's definitely the better reason. Though who knows where we'll even get the next parts? :/
Well... it has time travel! Depending on the writer, this could be good or bad. The main character learns how to use a sword from his ancestor (Torwald Albarek)? He recruits him, I guess, since he's assigned to a Star of Destiny.Looks a loooot more exciting than Tierkreis at least, though that isn't saying much.
In the beginning of the game, after the main character has his first encounter with the "Centennial Monster," he goes back in time by 100 years, where he learns sword techniques from his ancestor. When he returns to the present, he fights the Centennial Monster, but...
Also, four characters are introduced in this little snippet:
Chiki Star - Toruwado Arubureku (Daisuke Ono) (I've romanized this as Torwald Albarek, but it'll probably be different from other people's)
This fellow is the main character's ancestor from 100 years ago. He fights against the Centennial Monster in his era as part of the military. He treats the main character as a younger brother.
Chimou Star - Rorufu Raugu (Koji Yusa) (romanized as Rolf Raug)
Torwald's best friend. He is a mage who was an officer during the battle against the Centennial Monster.
Tenju Star - Ilia Barukai (Mamiko Noto)
The village healer. She's like an older sister to the hero and his friends. The village where she was born and raised disappeared when she was child. She was adopted by the mayor of Shulat Town.
Tensui Star - Meamei (Hisako Kanemoto)
A... sub-race (亜人 girl. (She is part of a race in this game that is looked down upon by humans. I saw the scan and it says she's part of a tribe called the Feather Tribe (yeah, she looks like a bird). She's self-reliant and lives alone in the forest.
why's that?Edit: The furigana above the title feels weird to me. In fact, the whole logo is unwieldy.

I posted this in the Famitsu thread, but I'll post it here too. Four more characters were introduced this week. I'll add some info from the actual article.
I don't think the Suikoden fanbase is that large anymore. I'm not even sure if they're still working on that patch for Genso Suikogaiden Vols I and II. (If they still are working on it, and if it comes out, I encourage fans of Suikoden I, II and III to get copies of the gaiden games! Suikogaiden acts as a wonderful supplement to Suikoden II.)Even if this won't come here I'm pretty sure the Suiko fanbase will translate it as soon as possible, so that's not a problem. But I hope it'll come here so they can take my money.
Six member parties. From the scans I saw, the battle system looks like it's like Tierkreis's. Everyone was in a strange formation on the field (it looked like there were rows, but the scan quality was really bad, so I'm not sure...). Everyone's character portrait and what looks like to be HP/MP bars (no, I do not see rune spell numbers per level here) are on the bottom of the screen. Oh well. I guess more info is coming later.they 're learning from teh ds mistakes while not correcting a lot of things . I need more informations about teh battle system..but those designs and graphics dooesn't feel very suikoden to me.
( it's trully a shame after suiko5 that they lost their way )
I have to wonder if you can freely travel back and forth through time to recruit people. I'm keeping my expectations tremendously low. It could be like Tierkreis: a decent RPG on its own, but a poor Suikoden. At least I know from experience to keep my expectations from getting too high.Oh yeah time travel is usually hit or miss with me in jRPGs. If it's plot driven then I usually don't care for it, but if the time travel aspect is a gameplay mechanic, like Trigger or Historia then it could be good. Best to keep expectations in check though. Having 6 characters in battle already makes me interested (hate 4 party battles in Suikoden).
Shame we won't get it regardless. I enjoyed Tierkreis for what it was. I suppose I went in with a far more open mind than most though. I think I could easily enjoy this PSP game too.
http://blog.ghostlight.uk.com/post/anyone-interested-in-a-new-ghostlight-gameToday Im going to talk a little about the first game, which is on the PSP. Its part of a Japanese franchise which has seen a few releases in Europe before, although never on this format. The game is set in our world, although history as we know it has changed somewhat with
Long shot but............
http://blog.ghostlight.uk.com/post/anyone-interested-in-a-new-ghostlight-game
Although thinking about it, Suikoden isn't set in our world is it?
Nope.
I can't think of any PSP RPG set in our world except the Persona remakes. Did those come out in EU?
.hack Link?
