The hero definitely looks better with the added armour and the headband.
And I'm gonna agree that none of the characters look like Kyle. |

Am I the only one who thought of Chrono Cross when I heard about the "alternate dimensions?" One dimension could be as if they lost against the One King, yet the other is as if it never happened. Somewhat like how in Chrono Cross, Serge survived some accident in the Home World, yet he died in Another World. _________________ Avatar courtesy of Midori

Nope. After I heard the term "parallel worlds" and then saw the two different Marica's, I had the same idea. The parallel universe idea pervades a lot of other media, so I doubt there's anything Konami can do with the idea that has not already been at least touched upon in books, movies, tv, or other games. _________________

Yeah, I personally thought of The Dark Tower series. Saving the universe through parallel worlds and fighting the One King? The Crimson King anybody? Doorways to other dimensions? Hmmm kinda shady Konami.... _________________ "Into battle we ride

I never heard of The Dark Tower series. I personally believe that the name "One King" won't stick for the English version of the game (it doesn't sound too threatening, especially for someone who defeated 104 people single-handed). _________________ Avatar courtesy of Midori

Marica looks like a Obel soldier in the second scan. Or at least something like a Obel soldier. _________________

I thought the same thing when I saw it, but imagined that if they wanted to make her look like an Obel soldier, the colors would be more noticeable. We can hope though, I was always partial to the Obel soldiers' wardrobe. |

I was thinking the same, but it's still a generally interesting concept and usually means for a more in-depth story and plot.
Chrono Cross was a good example, I heard people say back THEN (99) that the alternate universe thing was old, but it still was an engrossing concept and it panned out well. The relationship between the two worlds wasn't exactly clear-cut either, so who knows.
Anyways, good stuff, the game keeps looking better and better. |

I'm surprised by the level of detail of the character on the first page, but the rest of the artworks still look overly simple and not very interesting.
Hey what does that note on the bottom right of the last page say? something about more info on the game at TGS 08? I'm still holding out hope for a real Genso Suikoden game at TGS this year... _________________ SAVE A.D. - S.O.B.s
