[General Discussion] Suikoden Club v7!

Happy to hear a revival of the Suikoden Club! Albeit, 7.

I hope V is a huge, huge leap from IV. IV, literally, left me heartbroken from the series, having had such a tremendous impact with II. However, hearing these mixed reviews on V, I'm unsure if the series regained it's power as it used to have (before IV). I wouldn't know until I've played it.

How ya doing, buddy?

Just recently started V. So far so good. Much, MUCH better than IV so far.

Does anyone have any good scans of V characters or a website that does? These designs are rockin'.

There's nowhere I can't reach.

Pictures everywhere and forums have links to other areas.

I'm officially an idiot. Where on that site do they store pics? I click Suikoden V and it takes me to a page with two links, both not picture related. :?

This thing is sticky, and I don't like it. I don't appreciate it.

Whoa... what? You liked IV's rune cannons? IV's tactical battles were so easy I could've done it with my eyes closed. =p V's definitely harkens back to the classics, which I really enjoy!

I finished V (finally!) with both the complete and incomplete endings. Just in time for school too. In short, I adored it. Great game.

I am a dolphin, do you want me on your body?

My brother and I finally completed IV tactics, and for me, it thoroughly brought my opinions on IV even lower.

I don't think I'll bother writing a full fledged review on a yawnfest, but here's a rundown on bad points.

Story: What? Who? When? WHO CARES. It was terrible. I remember this stretch where I just fell asleep when my brother was playing. I missed out on something with Lino, but no one really cares. The ending was

Spoiler:

a drag, where Yohn of all people, is Kiril's mother. That kind of reminded me of FFVI. And it was very anticlimatic. I just didn't care if he came back or not. Oh and talk about Corselia's family getting just fucked... I feel really bad for the dad.

Gameplay: The battles were long and arduous, where each progressive battle resulted in your party being badly outnumbered. It wasn't exactly difficult, just annoying. Enemies will pop up, they will throw more elemental changes, yadda yadda. It was slow too, and it was hell of annoying to start over when someone dies permanently.

Sound: The voices were HORRIBLE. For me to say that they are as bad as Wild Arms 4 is stretching it, but it's pretty bad. Think about VAs reading dialogue in the most slow, boring tone of voice they can muster. The music is the same five battle songs over and over. And the chanting spell mutterance? What the heck is that?

Overall, bad game. Short game if not for the long arduous battles. Terrible voices. And it doesn't add ANY value to the Suikoden series, especially IV.

How ya doing, buddy?

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

What kind of toxic man-thing is happening now?

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)?
