Suikoden 5 world map and movie

Limslair: Ohh!! This is great!

Lyon: Yes it is...

Georg: So this is the sacred land of Lunasu....

Sialeeds: I haven't come here since Arshetat's ascension but this place hasn't changed.

Miakis: What's that? The water sparkles so beautifully.

Georg: Is something mixed in?

Sialeeds: It's golddust. There's a gold mine upstream.

???: I have been awaiting you.

Priest (not sure): I am Isato, an assistance to the head priest(?). I have come to welcome you on the head priest's(?) orders.

Prince: (Thank you)
(other option is 'Hmm? Those ears...')

Isato: No. This is part of my duty.
Isato: Please come this way. The Head Priest(?) is waiting.

Limsleia: Head Priest...?

Sialeeds: The most important person here.
Sialeeds: Well then, lets go shall we.

Isato has joined the party!

----
I translated it as 'head priest' because it looked like the same word that is used to refer to the Japanese Imperial Princesses that are selected to be head priestesses in the Ise Shrine. This is pure conjecture...

The scene of the six of them all gathered around the Prince looking at Isato was hilarious... couldn't help laughing. Miakis' unite with the Prince looks very nice. So Lyon uses a fire rune here... in that other screenshot she was equiped with a water rune tho... so will she have a very balanced rune affinity like Miakis does (lots of B's)?

Anyone else notice that Lyon's weapon = overglorified switchblade?

[Leon Silverberg]

yap, it's like a damn fire.. one person says that the game is slow and bla..and everyone runs away and screams..

From the Videos i saw there is absolut no load scene that is long.. long is an adjective that can be feeled different from person to person..it depends on what you're used from other games...

Suikoden 5 is better than 4, you can see that.. and as long as it's better as 4 i'm satisfied with it.

Suikoden 5 town

Sealed Fire Fragment received!

Dahaka

It appears Dahaka is the name of that huge boat...

Edit:
About the '10 secs without encounters'... it could be that the rumors are exaggerated but... I just want to point out one other possibility... maybe this guy bought the special memory card and is using the champion rune?

I don't feel like updating the thread each new video so here's his profile:

It adds new videos once he's uploaded them. Seems to be putting up atleast 2-3 new vids by the hour.

I'm hitting the sack.

I can understand what was said about getting into battles being slow. The encounter rate doesn't seem absurd, but it takes quite some time to get into battle, especially when, like other Suikodens, the battles are so short. It's not a fatal flaw, but it is going to be tedious during longer dungeons.

The cutscenes look great though. I imagine there's a good amount of load time before them we don't see, but at least it's not Suikoden IV's 5 second scene 3 second load problem.

I don't really mind the length of the battles. I would rather them be harder then them being a cakewalk.

Here's my final take on the loading issues:
I've played plenty of rpgs that had slow loading in and out of battles or between screens, some a lot longer than Suikoden V...however, I think the main reason people are focusing in on it so much is because of the "Now loading" screen.
If it was just a black screen, like in most games, I feel it wouldn't be quite as big of an issue...but seeing that after every battle and such probably makes it feel like there's a TON of loading. Not having played myself yet, I can't say...but just from watching the videos it doesn't bother me at all.
And frankly i'd rather have a cute little running sprite than a boring black screen. And yes, maybe Konami could have sped up the loading...but it is what it is, and it could have been a lot worse...and from what i'm seeing overall Konami did a good job and I can't wait.

I really don't care if the loading is a bit long between scenes/events, I'm just glad the cutscenes are smooth and not chopped up like they were in IV. That really killed the effect for me.

From what I've seen so far, my anticipation for this game just shot up to an unbelievable level. I don't think I'm gonna make it a whole month! I wish I was Japanese :(.

The loading time is not long at all. Very much exaggerated. I don't think that video had any bonuses within to make it an easy travel over the world map. I actually think it's a good thing for there to be many battles. It's very practical to be a few levels higher only after going through the map once.

At least it's not as annoying as Suikoden Iv's 1encounter/5seconds... THAT was annoying since battles were always boring. I think that in this game, you'll WANT to go on a battle. :D
