Not too sure. Though, I think that character is a guard of the prince and I thought George was a guardian of the queen, not her son. |

SARS, you're funny :P
A playable demo? They must be working thier butts off. It must mean that Suikoden 5 could get released next fall.
For some reason I have this gut feeling that info will come flowing in faster this time around than Suikoden 4.
Perhaps this time there will be no voice acting? That's proabaly why it seems like it's coming faster. |

from the character design and the overall looks of the screenshots...i wonder which team was working on this game...IV and Rhapsodia were obvisously done under Kawano's direction...but with the sudden "surprise" of Suikoden V so soon it must have been under developement for awhile now...theres even going to be a playable demo at TGS...could it possibly be the OZ team?
i also think the true rune will be something of a Sun Rune...the main character's chest seems to show designs for the sun...and since the Queen seems to have a prominent role in this game it seems the timeline will be before Suikoden 1...in which we see the incidents leading to her assasination...or it can just be anytime with Falena choosing a new Queen...

Im surprised that they would have another installment this soon. I hate suikoden 4 with a passion;So with any luck 5 will not have similar flaws as its predacessor did. They need to make the charectors compelling and give them some backstory or have them at least give you a reason why they join you. They need to referance previous games and events (dont care about or its charectors but meh). The game needs to take place around the 1-3rd game so charectors from the first 3 games ccan make an apperance/SOD. Better localization and good voice acting. (preferbally no VO at all). But probally the thing they need the most is a great soundtrack. They need to bring hisigano back (sorry i know i murdered her name) _________________ "Hearing the CRY of VICTORY, He rests in Peace"
Suikoden 5 didnt make me less of a fan; it restored my faith after the abomination that was suikoden 4. |

I agree. Suikoden 4 just seemed so rushed. It's not that bad of a game, but it should've been epic and compelling as S1, S2, and S3.
For example, maybe the "Islanders" (my name for the S4 army) should've visited Gaien to get help and have someone join you there.
I think S5 should have memorable villains like Luca Blight, the Imperial Generals (even though they;re SODs), and S3 Yuber.
Graham Cray was boring. |

Words cannot express how happy I am over hearing this news. Konami must have either kept this a secret since S4s production or they rushed it. I'm hoping it's not the latter.
So far, from looking at the magazine screenshot, I really like the character art. I think the Hero and the Queen's clothing especially fits the Falena look that I was expecting. Also, I'm sure many people agree with me that the timeframe when Gerog Prime killed the queen would probably be the most interesting time to set the story. Plus, it could allow us to learn more things about Killy, Lorelai, Morgan, and any other older characters from the S1/S2 timeframe like Hellion, Crowly, Mazus, the Silverburgs, etc.
One final note. While I have no problem with the Hero being male (I think a female hero would have been more appropriate) I seriously hope to God that RPGfan's statement of "the Kingdom of Falena" is only a very evil translation error. _________________

Yeah, it's an evil translation error. The Japanese clearly says "Queendom." |

Wow this is great news. I am really excited and thrilled that the game will take place in Falena. There are just so many directions that this game could go. I hope we see some returning characters, but as long as the game is good I really don't care. Wait, I take that back..... Bring back Georg pleeeeeeese. That is all i want. _________________

I drove twenty miles north to my grandmother's house just to check this out.
Friend: Hey, did you hear the news about the new Suikoden?
Me: Yeeeaaah. Rhapsodia wa months ago.
Friend: No no, about Suikoden V.
Me: ...I fucking hate you.
I'm not sure if announcing it now was such a good idea, though. Now everyone's like "what rhapsodia?" |

I couldn't agree more.
Anyway it's seems to have gone from
East to West to South to Far South in that order for the games
I can't wait, and sadly SARS, I cant see why Sarasai would be in it unless you travel to Harmonia at some point...
As I had said earlier, I think Rhapsodia was a cover-up to keep suspicions down, not say Tactics won't be good but I would hazard a guess that they were mainly working on V all the time... _________________

Nah, it's been known for a long time that there are two separate teams working on Rhapsodia and Suikoden V. Suikoden V is also a collaboration between Konami and Hudson Soft (which has since been bought out by Konami and is now a subsidiary). |

Hey Falena, since you're throwing a party, save me some Pineapple juice.
I'm surprised that suikosource of all places doesn't have the information just yet. This morning, when I saw this announcement, I first saw it here, but I guess gamefaqs and/or RPGfan had the information first. We're among the first to get it, but I'm just about sure this site will get the first ACCURATE translation coming from SARS. When that happens, then we can tip people off.
Here's a prediction for the future. The Hero kills his mother. His pal Georg takes the blame for it. And somehow Killey gets framed too. that's of course, if the game takes place in the correct timeline. If not, then just forget what I said.
Ughh . . . that just CAN'T be a guy. :lol: _________________

The hero is momma's boy material. Just look at his pansy ass.
Nah, the game will involve a big huge conspiracy over who killed her, and the Hero will be after Georg. |

I might be one of the few that thought this originally, but if you look closely at the hero, and despite his pigtail, his face seems more masculine then feminine. I am guessing that the young girl guard (Rion- I think her name is) will be one of the first recruits that the Hero will get to join. Let's hope that the story will turn out better then the last one. Does anyone know if the same person is in charge of this one (I think it was Junko Kawano if I'm not mistaken)? _________________ Avatar courtesy of Midori
