[General Discussion] Suikoden Club v7!

I got Suikoden Tactics the other day although I'm putting off playing it until I finish SMT. I hope they'll release S1 and 2 on the PSP in Europe too, if only so by buying them I can persuade Konami to keep releasing Suikoden games in Europe.

Once the next gen of consoles gets into it's stride and the current lot plummet in price, I'm gonna import a PS2 just to play Suikoden 3. Bastards.

Lurker, have you checked out rpg-icons.com? Could help with identifying stuff if nothing else.

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.

I'd agree that IV was a big step down from the awesomeness of II (I've never had a chance to play III). The 108 characters were all too easy to find and all to damn similar. It didn't seem like they used more than six basic character models then just dressed them up. In the first two games, I always used to take a pretty varied party where possible and there was a sense of each character being different in some way. In IV, I felt no need to bother with most of the PCs as they were all so samey. Where were the novelty comedy characters? ('Sup chef attack?).

Also, the story in IV seemed to lack the epc scope of the first two, there were no truly emotional bits and most of all, sailing across featureless ocean fighting the same four monsters for hours gets old really fast...

So yeah, I'm hoping for a return to form for V. Don't get me wrong, I loved IV but it was poor compared with Suikoden I and II.

There's nowhere I can't reach.

Awesome news!

Konami have announced a PAL version of Suikoden V, due out in autumn (That's fall for those of you reading in NTSC). That means I'll only have to avoid this thread for six months or so as opposed to the years I had to wait in the past!

This now means only S3 is missing from the PAL collection. Hopefully they'll get round to releasing that someday, maybe on the PSP or something.

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

Suikoden avs and sigs and spreading much Suikoden love around the boards. Anyone up for it? Or are all of you going to ignore it again this year?

I'll do it, despite the release date for V over here not being for about six months...
