Well Skies Of Arcadia was a great game except for the voice acting from hell. That was terrible, I played a great deal of that game with the sound off. But thats not going to be a problem since its the script writer from SoA not the voice-sadist.
They said it would be more story than any other SUikoden gama and that rocks. The story in Suikoden 4 was way too thin and short. Still a great game though. I'm really looking forward to this now. _________________ Shiver My Shuriken!! |

Hey guys, I thought I might give a bit of light on exactly how big is 380,000+ words of text.
Consider according to Nanowrimo.org (a novel writing contest), a 50,000 word novel is about 175 pages... Now if we do a little math, we find out that this would be equivalent to about a 1,330 story... Now granted that this is only a rough estimate, and we know that there are npc text and the like, but even if you take a few hundred "pages" off, this game's plot is probably monumental... I wouldn't expect 1330 full pages like a story, but it's something to ponder about :mrgreen: |

But, aren't Japanese words shorter than their English counterparts? In that case, the number of words per page might increase, hence reducing the total amount of pages. |

And keep in mind that this includes sidequests and such. Still, I'm very glad to hear that this story is going to be so in-depth and long. This game is probably going to end up being my favorite RPG... _________________

I don't mean to sound rude, and if I do, I apologize. However, we shouldn't get our hopes up. If we do, we could be let down if it isn't completely like we expected it to be. I wait for a review to get my hopes up. I've learned not to completely trust previews of games, since some of the time, the previews are different from the final version.
I hope that this story is better then the one in Suikoden IV. _________________ Avatar courtesy of Midori

Well I know what my party will be. Hero V, Georg Prime, Killey, Lorelai, Jeane, and Viki. :P _________________ "Into battle we ride

I'll probably use Lorelai and possibly George. I am reserving at least one spot for a female mage type that is under-rated like I always do (Mina and Lotte from S1, Nina from SII, Yumi from SIII, and Kate and Wendel from SIV). Who knows who else I will use... _________________ Avatar courtesy of Midori
