[General Discussion] Suikoden Club v7!

I still need to beat the previous 5 (including Suikoden Tactics). I've started all of them, but haven't really beaten or gotten too far in any. I really need to get back to the first one, though.

I don't really like the art and character designs for Suikoden V, but am I the only one that thinks it's awesome that the Suikoden V hero (Marion?) will wear Tir McDohl's outfit? (At least, according to some scans). Does anyone have any information on that -- as to why he's wearing it or where he got it? I'm definitely interested in where he got it, as I've always wondered about Tir's clothes, mostly because you never see anyone else in the game with clothes even remotely like his (as far as I know).

Edit: To further add to my post... I heard the "theme song" for the game, and it's fairly disappointing when compared to awesome songs like "La Mer" (Suikoden IV) and "Exceeding Love" (Suikoden III). I'm hoping the rest of the OST will be as good as IV's, though.

Jam it back in, in the dark.

Every protagonist has been given a name in the novelizations (or manga? I can never recall which). They're unofficial, but the majority use them because it's far more convenient to say "Riou" than "Hero2" and "Lazlo" than "HeroIV". I've seen him (HeroV) called "Marion" by people, so, it's what I assume his unofficial name is. Quite frankly, I think Konami should consider the "unofficial" names as official just because they seem to be so widely used amongst fans -- English fans, at least. Though, names like "Lazlo" and "Marion" are kind of ridiculous sounding.

I'm pretty surprised you don't like any of the designs, either...

I never said I didn't like any of the designs. There are a few I like (Bernadete, Hazuki, Josephine, Liu, Lorelai, Rahal, Rania, Risara, Sagiri, Shigure, Silva, Wilhelm), but the art isn't as impressive as Fumi Ishikawa's nor as original. Hence, I am disappointed.

There's nowhere I can't reach.
