great race

I dont want any more races. Rather i want to vist the elves and the others thats weve already seen. The neokobolds (they couldent even use a orignal name) were bland and uninspiring. (you could argue like the entirety of suikoden 4)

If they create more for 5 it might backfire and bring the game down more. Granted after 4 theyd have to work preety hard for the game to be worse but stranger things have happened.

Personally id like to see more of the dwares we havent heard from them since suiko 1 i believe. Are they only found in the great forest? is there other settlements like there are with other species.

Btw the word "Race" is used to differantiate variations of a SPECIES. Sementicts i know but meh

Suikoden 5 didnt make me less of a fan; it restored my faith after the abomination that was suikoden 4.

I loved the Kobolds. The lizards were boring to me. Bring back Gengen!

I also liked the Dwarfs. Bring them back and acctually have someone join us!

No more bleeding races. Kobolds I don't mind, the ducks I liked, Lizards were alright, Nekobolds (except Nalkul) irritate me, and the mermaids were lame lame lame lame lame lame.

I say we get a chance to see some settlements of a few of these species from outside where we originally found them. I was glad the elves had even the tiniest of roles in Suikoden IV, if only because it proves there are elf settlements outside of Toran. I don't even like elves. So far there are no dwarves outside of Toran, no kobold villages outside Toran and Dunan, only one duck and lizard village each, both in Grasslands, one teeny Nekobold settlement in the Islands, and a few loose mermaids. I want to see more villages, for crying out loud- especially for the ducks!

As far as I can tell, there's probably a Kobold village in Harmonia, because there's a big deal with Kobolds being slaves and so forth. Other than that, nobody ever even mentions other races outside of their own country. It's getting tiresome.

Races? Dogs, cats, duck and lizards in humanoid form are certainly "FILLED" with imagination, and elves, wingers, mermaids and dwarves are already long created.

I would certainly like a new race of people, not affected by any legends or myths. The flying squirrels were a good idea (at least, they were imaginative). The Karna tribe is a decent idea, calvary on houseflies, as is the idea of Alma Kinan, but that is about it.

Please, no more humanoids. Or at least, not ones that are cute yet irritating, do almost nothing but slack and sleep all day and have the crappiest unite attack *CoughKaykoboldsCough*. How about some strong, powerful creature type ala Ronso from FF10?

I was kind of thinking some speedy creature that wields daggers, yet has low defence. Hows that?

Toad/Frog people would be great. I'm tired of seeing races that are too human like. It's great to see non-mammal races in fantasy, but the mermaid things from Suikoden 4 were a let down.

And it would be nice if they named the species of the "Assassin" that fought alongside Brandeau.

The assassin was of a different race? I thought he was just some kind of creepy little deformed human...hm, nevermind.

They should expand the culture and habits of the existing reaces, rather then making weak developed new ones. Personaly I didn't like the races in suikoden 3. They were just to standard. Ducks and Lizards, we all know what they are. I did like the Wingers and the Kobolds because they had much more personality. Maybe if they add one other race, it would be nice. Or maybe if you get a HERO in a different race then human, so you can se things from their perspective. Mouse-peple would be alright I guess, they can make them like real mouses: always in danger, lowest in the 'foodchain', constantly on the run.

I'm so good in bed, for me even a mermaid spreads her legs

Selkies. I read up on Celtic fantasy books that mentioned selkies. And since mention of them tended to be more tragic, if would make potential fighters out of the Chitan (Kuromimi, Gengen, Wilder and Nalkul) and Chikoku (Gon, Gabocha, Rhett and Champo) stars.

Plus, i wonder what were-seals would look like. I imagine them to look pretty creepy.

Pff, I can think of a lot more shocking things to say. Do you guys watch TV? I guess not, or that wouldn't freak you out so much.

I would like to see a new race in Suikoden, but I don't particularly mind how said new race looks or what said new race is, really. To me it seems like they're adding more than one each game, and eventually they're going to reach them all. At some point, I don't know when, but some point I would like to see all the races unite. A representative of every race in a party and have them slay robots or something. You know, the anti-carbon based lifeforms. Like Gadget Z to the extreme.

Personally, I would like to have the race be original not just a modge podge of another species and a human. You can only do that but so many times before you either run out of races or all the races get old. That's what Star Trek and Star Wars had going for them, orignal races each of them with their own home planet and strengths and weaknesses. It conveys the idea that your universe is more expansive than just some random creatures thrown in here and there to make it seem that way. You have to really sell the idea. And to sell it, there cannot be harmony between the races.

If I had to choose between the races predetermined by the poll above, I would say racoon people, because Racoons have such cool faces, they look like theives and you could have them stealing things all the time, it would be great, whilst still being cliche, but I don't care, I would still enjoy it. It's wholesome and good. And if they had racoon people, they could have the awesome tails taht Racoons and squirrels enjoy.
