Key words "We'd love to" not "We're going to". Huge difference. If Tierkreis is a success you'd have to be dumber than the average fencepost to think they'd ever go back to the original setting once they get irrefutable proof they can net a bigger profit by staying away from it. [quote="Gil-galad":2ucbzq01]If they were to announce that there were no plans to create another Suikoden set in the same world as previous titles, then you'd have reason for anger. |

At the risk of getting way off topic, I'd like to voice my displeasure with being called stupid. Careful with what you say, please. I don't really care if you're angry that they decided to make a new Suikoden game that doesn't fit to your specific interest or standard, but that doesn't really give you the right to compare me to a fence post. Pretty uncalled for. If you're willing to be a bit less offensive with me, maybe we could continue this discussion in a thread where it isn't so off topic (you are welcome to create one), but until then, let's just leave it end here.
I just purchased Tierkreis, and so far I pretty much agree with the IGN review. Granted, I'm only about 1 hour in. _________________ |

This isn't anything new for him, he's flamed and trolled in nearly every post I've seen of his, so I wouldn't take it personally. He's also derailed nearly every thread in this same fashion. Just put him on ignore (guess it's called "foes list" now) and leave the rest to the mods. As for the article, all that it told me was that they aren't willing to talk about it yet. Nearly everything he said included the phrase "It hasn't been decided yet" or a similar non-committal phrase. Dunno why you're jumping to the conclusion that outrages you the most - at the very closest to what you're saying, they'd split it off into two series, with a Suikoden VI and a Suikoden Tierkreis 2. However, you are indeed right that we need to make our voices heard on this, just in case. But calling people on an online forum stupid isn't one of the ways of doing that.
You kidding? I love the main character's voice acting - his speedy dialogue works perfectly with him as a character quirk. The music, too, is incredible. Definitely agree with the review I posted that 10/10 isnt high enough for sound in this game. And I honestly hate the whole silent hero thing, because while the idea is noble - you fill in what the character would say - it never works. Even if you've made a brilliant personality for your character, the other characters can't react to this, nor can it drive the story the way that a main character with a pre-made personality can, and it really kills the mood and frustrates me. _________________ |

At first I thought that the voice acting was so corny, that it was kind of cute. Now it's starting to get on my nerves a bit. The speedy talking is part of it, for sure. That, and all the characters are more or less monotone. I mean, if the main character is going to talk quickly he needs to sound more excited when he does it. However, I don't think they're nearly as bad as people initially made them out to be. There are definitely worse video game acting jobs out there. _________________ |

I got a copy of the game sent from Konami, and have been playing it for the past two days.
So far I'm impressed with the game. |

The voice acting is amusing, though really 'Hero' is the only unbearable one. I wonder if it's a glitch or if he really is supposed to talklikethis. That aside, the others seem fine and actually, Tierkreis has a really strong cast (as of 5-6 hours playing).
While I definately would have prefered the standard Suiko-verse setting, I'm enjoying Tierkreis alot. The characters, as I said, are deep and likeable. The score is tremendous for a DS game and I know I won't be the only one to have an order in for the OST if/when it's released. The battles are fast-paced, perhaps a little too frequent, but we are used to that after Suikoden V anyway. Obviously it has it's downsides, but, in and of itself Tierkreis is an impressive and enjoyable game that I would hope the Suikoden community would get behind and promote so it serves as a springboard for the continuity of the series. |

[quote="poorguy171":cbwd0qa2]Had Konami just stick with a silent hero (because this one can be kind of obnoxious and cliche anyway), I think this would've been some of the best voice acting on the DS and in the series. |

I'm now about halfway through the game and the hero has gotten a little bit better as a leader, but he's still got too much of the cliche "energetic teenage hero who is always positive and never gives up" too him. There's just nothing to distinguish him from the protagonist of every other JRPG out there. I'm not saying he's a bad character, I've just seen his type too often before. Even though the previous Suikoden heroes have been fairly cliche themselves, there's usually something more to them. Hopefully he'll keep getting better though and he'll distinguish himself by the end of the game! _________________ |

I got the US version. I'd like to get a Japanese version on my own though. |

The hero's voice acting really does improve as the game progresses. I'm pretty far in now, and his speed-talking lines are getting more and more rare. I'm still planning on getting the Japanese version though. I hope Konami still has some of the limited editions in stock . _________________ |
