From the japanese official site. Since they made the thing a frickin flash program I had to use some poopy flash image extractor (which extracted the pictures but not the different coloured side bars) and then do some rather annoying GIMPing.
All in all it was probably worth the effort (especially for the awesome purple one) but a sign that I have WAY too much time on my hands.
I've decided to go for a purple theme right now, a purple wallpaper, purple sig, purple winamp skin. Only problem is that Microsoft continue to thwart my plans for purple domination by only having those 3 colour themes for Windows XP. Curse you Microsoft! :evil: |

Those are some nice flash wallpapers. It's a shame they don't come in 1440x900 resolutions.
As for the game winning best story and not best rpg from IGN. It's a simple thing really. FFXII won because it was the technological marvel (lots and lots of eye-candy) that Siokoden V wasn't. _________________

How many town pictures are there? Just Lunas, Raftfleet, Ceras Lake and Sol-Falena? Or did you just go with those because they were your favourites? _________________ One day, I shall come back.

Bully? That kind of dims down the greatness of the award....And those wallpapers are pretty cool. _________________

Great work Hawk, really. My desktop resolution is 1280 by 1024 pixels, so it's too big, any chance of another series? :D |

Right you are.
Suikoden V should've gotten best game (Or best RPG.), hands down of story alone. And probably with a little help of the music along the way. |

Well, at least they are admitting to themselves that there are other equally as good but mostly better RPGs out there other than Final Fantasy. The game is good and is worthy or praise. It is about time they recognized this series. I am also glad that Valkyrie Profile Silmeria is mentioned as well seeing that it is another fine game. Did they mention Tails of the Abyss. _________________ arise my great fool and take over this foolish world with your foolish powers!!!!! |

Wow, those are some really nice wallpapers. I especially like the Ceras Lake at night. Its reminds me of Lucretia's suggestions for naming the castle. Castle of the Pale Blue Shimmering Water or something like that XD |

Question: what happened on 12/7? I downloaded the 2/2006 calender wallpaper way back then and saw the sun rune logo on the 23rd which was the Japanese release date for V, why is the sun rune mark on the 7th of December? Is it a Japanese holiday or the King blog day or something?
Also did V not get any yearly awards from any Japanese video game critics? why did they only celebrate the ign award? _________________ SAVE A.D. - S.O.B.s

I'm really pleased that Suiko 5 won that award.
There are only three games I've enjoyed playing in 2006 and Suiko 5 tops that list (btw the other two were Kingdom Hearts 2 and Dreamfall, another game and developer that aren't as well recognised and appreciated as they should be).
Btw those wallpapers are beautiful. I think I'll either be using Sun Palace, Lunas, Raftfleet or Ceras Lake Ruins as my background, or maybe just rotate them. |

AFAIK, Suikoden V got two awards in Japan. One at launch and the other one about 2/3 months ago. |
