You mean Gradius PS3. Grandia is Game Arts.

Basically, all this means for Suikoden fans is that "Unnamed RPG (PS3)" and "Unnamed RPG (Wii)" are still in development, and either could be Suikoden VI. Maybe neither. Who knows.

I like Suikoden 3 over 4, however they both rank below 5 in terms over quality. I only like 3 more so than 4 because:

1. It actually got really good once I started to get into it. The story, and fairly good characters helped save other bad aspects like the robotic animations and sketchy music.

2. 3 kept me interested long enough to complete it.

With Suikoden 4, it felt like the story lost all of its focus after the first few hours. The SoD that I was recruiting in the game didn't seem like they had a real purpose for being there. Lastly, I got really tired of the crappy sea travel, which is where the entire game is based for the most part. Overall, Suikoden 4 just didn't have a lasting impression on me.

I actually liked 4 over 3. Even after all me bitching about the sea travel--it was fun when I got the hang of it. And I loved the Rune Cannon battles. They were actually fun. (I haven't played Tactics yet--so NO spoilers for me, 'kay?)

Granted, many of the SoDs seemed to be there just to fill the slots, but I think that can be said for all the games as well. I mean, did we really need Maximillian in both I and II? He was a source of continuity, to be sure, but I don't think he was necessary. And that continuity was carried in III, IV, and V.

Read it Lek.

I read reviews at IGN and they are praising Suikoden3 story like mad.
Trinity system and blah blah.
Suikoden 5 SoDs had really nice backgrounds, not all of them ofcourse ,tackling 108 characters is big deal but even if 50 characers are rightly made with good meaty profile, i would be satisfied.

Generic badass: Yeah it should be Gradius, i copied the translation from french site, Jeux-france.

Which one? IV? or Tactics? I mentioned both, so I'm not sure, but I'll hedge my bets and say IV.

Can't really say I blame you there. In fact, I kind of agree with you.

No, no. Tactical RPG. Suiko Tactics. It's fucking awful.

My review on SIV Tactics on the previous page is proof. I even fell asleep during it once.

Absolutely horrid, I couldn't agree more.

Also, my decision about whether or not to buy into the next gen hinges largely on the fabled Suikoden VI. If it looks promising, I might pick up a (I imagine it will be here) Sony PS3, and if it looks like shit, I'm walking.

I don't know if I can put down $500 and then $40-$50 for Suikoden VI. Just for Suikoden VI. I'd much rather rent (do they still do that?) both the PS3 and the game. Too expensive! Any hope with emulating it (psh)?

Hey guys, you think Konami will ever try producing a Suikoden spinoff for the PSP?

Haha, I actually had no idea it was the last boss...Thanks anyway!
