Awesome. It pleases me very much that they are done making Suikodens that take place hundreds of years before the first three.

 

[Pellham]

slit on Viki's robe ftw.
I'm looking forward to this.

 

[ronito]

yes, yes but does it have a giant talking duck?

 

[Mandoric]

yes, yes but does it have a giant talking duck?

No, this time you'll have to settle for giant talking beavers.

this is what Suikoden 4 should've been. man I'm begining to get hyped for this game

holy shit Killey looks awesome :O

Lolerai <3 <3

 

[Brian Fellows]

Killey is the man! Though his clothes could be a bit brighter.

The main character still looks like a girl to me though.

 

[Razoric]

this takes place between S1 and S2 correct?

OH Viki, is there not a time you won't sneeze yourself into?

 

[lyre]

Speaking of returning characters, I wonder how many square inches of actual clothing Jeanne will wear this time.

 

[SiegfriedFM]

I don't know what's on that limited edition and I won't play the game until I get it in English, but I'm so getting that.

How is that a bad thing? :lol

I hope you're not forced to change out of that outfit. Please let those ugly clothes shown in the video be optional...

 

[Takuan]

Is the character in the second scan wearing robes and holding the gigantic book male or female? Main character am fruit total, especially in that pose on the cover. Ranks right up there with Magna Carta femme-males. Everyone else looks pretty neat, thankfully.

 

[Kyouji]

Definitely female. But if it's a man... pleasant surprise! :lol

 

[SiegfriedFM]

That's Lucrecia, most likely the resident strategist.

 

[∀ Narayan]

Definitely female. But if it's a man... pleasant surprise! :lol

It is a man.

 

[Kyouji]

It is a man.

Sure didn't look like a man to me last night in bed!

 

[radios shipping overview]

Looks female to me. She's got the lip gloss and the tomboy-blonde stereotype thing going, in addition to being what looks like a female version of Zhuge Liang. Plus, the name is blatantly feminine.

 

[Mac the KNife]

Never played Suikoden before. Are they required to enjoy this one?

 

[HomerSimpson-Man]

So is it a woman or not?! I can't even freakin' tell anymore!!

 

[SiegfriedFM]

It's a woman. At least she sounds like a woman in the trailer.

 

[lollerskates]

a man.

 

[Brian Fellows]

Because I'm not Japanese. So I dont have a thing for androgenous characters.

 

[SatelliteOfLove]

:lol Wow.

I'm agreeing with the hype vibe for this; maybe it'll be on our shores by Christmas '06.

 

[Ulairi]

I've only beaten the first and second game. I tried playing the third but I wasn't too fond of it. Is the fifth game a direct sequel to 4 or what?

 

[DarkCloud]

Actually you'd probably enjoy this more if you haven't played the superior Suikoden 2 (and to a lesser degree 1) to compare this to...at least if V follows the downward spiral that started with 3 and continued with 4 in this series.

The addition of Killey and Lorelai has managed to grab my interest though. Any other returning characters announced? Maybe Sierra since she's an immortal (has no idea what timeline this game takes place in relation to the other titles).
