i think Fliktor has a good point you should not put down what you want to see in suikoden 5 because some ppl go to far and make big lists of things and this is not the thread you should be useing make a thread called wish list for suikoden 5 or something if you want to tell everyone what you want to see in this game.

Making wish lists would only lead to disappointment. We never had one for out first Suikoden title (for most people, it's II), so we'd never label it as one: but instead develop a tendency to label to subsequent games as disappointment because they "fail" to address our wishes.

Not everyone is like that though. Just a thought.

I ma just curious as to how far the new production is. As mentioned usually voice recording is among the very last things done. So if at the very least casting has been done if not actual recording yet, I think it is very likely that we may be hearing about suikoden 5 fairly soon. Probably this year.


But considering the length of the 4th game in comparison to the previous 2 games and the common cries of it being incomplete I am really thinking we are going to have a continuation of the 4th game. It would be most logical.

And I am looking forward to seeing what the team being added to the project might bring to the table.

It is a thought that Suikoden V could be Suikoden IV-2 like Final Fantasy X-2

I can just hear the cries of Suikoden fans everywhere as I write this; but I wouldn't even begin to judge the game before I played it.

Anyway, the progress is unknown; especially as there is no official word on the game in progress - just strongish rumours that have reasonable-to-faint doubts. Simply put, I don't know.

But voice acting doesn't prove anything. He could be voice acting for a teaser trailer that doesn't show any game details and is just a short annoying teaser with words and a black screen.

They could, as has been said, be voice acting for the main characters battle noises, or voice acting over a trailer, or voice acting for a character for a one-off showing. It could really be anything, and as of yet, we don't have enough information to say, but rest assured, you will all find out when there's information to be found.

I wouldn't think that a Suikoden iv-2 would be such a bad thing at all. I thought there where a lot things in iv that could be built upon. If it is going to be a Suikoden iv-2, I would imagine it would maybe reveal more of Kulook and the bigger island country that used to posses Razril (can't remember, starts with a G).

But I think that a Suikoden iv-2 is doubtful actually.

I do think that we will prabably get a Suiko V announcement at least by TGS in fall. That is, if the info is true (which it probably is).

Is it really official or its just a rumour. If it is true then that's a good news. It doesn't really matter to me whether it's a sequel 0f suiko4 or it's a continuation of suiko3. If it's sequel to suiko4 I wish it could develop some characters in 4 like suikoden 1 to suikoden 2.

[Beecham]

It is apparently confirmed that they are working on GS5, but there are -no- details as to what it will be. No mention of timeline, to which game if any will it be a sequel, potential recurring characters, physical setting, True Runes, anything. It is entirely a blank slate to us as yet.

I'm in a bit of a pickle decided whether I want it to be set in a new continent or to take place back in the Scarlet Moon Empire to do the sucession war. Though I like the idea of it happening in Harmonia or Falena the idea of the Sucession War tickles me a bit more. I doubt they would do it but the possiblity of the returning characters like Teo and the other generals (that would also include Georg since he was there) and new ones like Sonya's mother, is just to tempting.

The problem with heading back to the Scarlet Moon Empire is... well, we know what it looks like. We know the cities, the fortresses, the regions, the tensions, the political situation and we'll also know what will happen throughout the game.

Some people disliked Suikoden IV because it was a prequel and thus 'diminished' the meaning of the game. After all, no matter what you did, the future was still going to turn out like the first three Suikoden games right? And that's when we didn't actually know what would happen within the game itself.

This would be the same, except you'd be just going over what you already know, there'd be no surprises, just a brief nostalgia factor, which tends to fade all too quickly.

Meh, maybe I'm just of the view that Suikoden need to keep moving forward, rather than bringing back characters over and over for the sake of it, they should create more loveable characters we can realisticaly bring back for a second showing. Otherwise the appeal quickly drains. Viki and Jeane are four for four right now but no-one hyperventilates when they see them because its taken for granted, I wouldn't like to see that happen with, say, Viktor or Flik. (Who I'm using as examples because some people have never really gotten over the fact that their story is done, instead, they seem to pray that they'd turn up in Suikoden III or fall through a time-warp into Suikoden IV or some such nonsense)

So, um, you know. Move forward, not sideways. Or something.

Besides, Highland is the one that deserves a new game to itself. They take apart the City-State in Suikoden II and almost reign supreme over all of Dunan before their collapse and they only get two towns (Sajah and Kyaro), a let-down of a dungeon (L'Renouille) and the Tenzan Pass? A crime, I say!

Forgive my ignorance but what is Wai Wai World? What type of a game is it?
