As I predicted: Another title people can't spell.

Suikoden must be the most commonly misspelled game franchise in the history of time.

Some details

TofuFury · « **Reply #7 on:** October 21, 2008, 02:38:47 AM »

This game looks pretty solid. I normally don't care for RPG's that have a huge cast of playable characters, but I'm willing to give it a shot.

Do I suck for not wanting this game and wanting another Rocket Knight Adventures game instead?

TofuFury · « **Reply #10 on:** November 05, 2008, 01:50:04 AM »

They should do both. I'm probably going to pick this up, but I would buy a new Rocket Knight game in a heartbeat.

BeautifulShy · « **Reply #11 on:** March 08, 2009, 08:28:22 PM »

Well this game is coming out on the 17th.If you preorder from Amazon you get an art book and soundtrack.The game costs $34.99.

Oh man, it looks like I'm the only one dieing to get this game in my hands lol. I'm a huge Suikoden fan and have 1-5 in my collection. I just can't get enough of collecting the 108 characters and seeing how they expand my home base. Thank god Konami hasn't given up on this franchise, hope they eventually make 6 for the Wii. I'm suprised this game isn't getting more of a buzz. Just by pictures alone, it looks amazing IMO. I think its the prettiest rpg on the DS hands down but I guess that could be argued. The backdrops in this game are alot better than what we've seen for the most part for DS rpgs.

BeautifulShy · « **Reply #13 on:** March 09, 2009, 04:10:03 AM »

Yeah it does look great.This will be my first Suikoden.I'm not sure when I'll get it.

SirSniffy · « **Reply #14 on:** March 13, 2009, 12:32:10 PM »

Does anyone know how many of the stars there will be playable this time?

Mannypon · « **Reply #15 on:** March 13, 2009, 04:38:00 PM »

As far as I know and have heard, all 108 should be playable in this game.

KnowsNothing · « **Reply #16 on:** March 13, 2009, 07:08:29 PM »

In for the Rocket Knight love. That needs to come to the DS.

GoldenPhoenix · « **Reply #17 on:** March 13, 2009, 08:02:57 PM »

So what is special about this series?

Flames_of_chaos · « **Reply #18 on:** March 14, 2009, 12:09:05 AM »

It's the first suikoden on a Nintendo system and the Wi-Fi features are pretty interesting you can loan out characters to your friend who doesn't have the characters. And there are also Wi-Fi specific quests.

BeautifulShy · « **Reply #19 on:** March 14, 2009, 12:20:09 AM »

I think GP was wondering what this series was about.I'm going out on a limb here but I think Golden hasn't played this series. So she probably wants some info on it.As do I.

Mannypon · « **Reply #20 on:** March 14, 2009, 08:33:38 PM »

Well GP, I've played 1-5 and I'm a big fan of the series. The storylines from 1 through 5 are connected and there are fansites out there detailing all the characters and how the stories intertwine. I can't ever really remember much of anything in between games though so I can never link the stories up besides noticing returning characters.. There really isn't anything amazing about the series, its just a solid old school rpg.

The only thing that separates Suikoden from other rpgs is that there are 108 characters for you to recruit and you eventually get a headquarters which gets upgraded and filled with each character you recruit. It has that same addictive quality as pokemon in that regard.

Interesting, well I may pick up this new one sometime. Does it have random battles?

BeautifulShy · « **Reply #22 on:** March 14, 2009, 10:43:58 PM »

Golden it does have random battles and is turn based. It states that in the hands on article in the OP.

Mannypon · « **Reply #23 on:** March 15, 2009, 12:43:54 AM »

Yeah, as stated above, it does have turned based battles and all that good stuff (if thats your bag lol). The suikoden series is as traditional as you get. If anyone is ever interested in getting into the series, I can tell you which ones I consider to be the best in the bunch.

Suikoden 1 was a great old school rpg
Suikoden 2 is the pinnacle IMO of the series. It expanded on everything introduced in the first and all following sequals have been stripped of some of the great ideas introduced here (for god knows what reason)
Suikoden 3 was the series first jump to 3d. It had a good story and interesting system but the headquarters sucked compared to the previous 2.
Suikoden 4 was a mess moreso becuase of bugs and gameplay issues. It feels unfinished
Suikoden 5 was a return to form and put the series somewhat back on track.

SirSniffy · « **Reply #24 on:** March 15, 2009, 09:02:11 AM »

Manny, you explained the Suikoden series PERFECTLY! I ALWAYS buy the Suikoden games, and while they are not always perfect, I end up enjoying them. I'm kind of excited that Nintendo finally has a Suikoden game...I hope they bring one to the Wii someday.
