Suikoden Tierkreis: the beloved RPG series comes to DS

Yes! I love Suikoden, not an influence on my name however as that is based off of an anime character.

Awesome.
Awesome to the max.

FOOK YEAH! I knew I would not be disappointed by buying my DS 6 months ago. I am a huge RPG'r and I bought the DS for exactly that. I am happy to see so much available (Final Fantasies, Manas, etc.) and coming (Kingdom Hearts, Dragon Quests, Rhapsody, etc). I love Suikoden and hope to see it here on our shores. Now all we need is to convince some nice publishers to localize the Xenosaga 1 & 2 compilation (and to port over the existing/coming PSP Final Fantasies and Star Oceans...). RPGs are few and far between on the next gen consoles (although we have a nice batch coming up - Vesperia, Infinite, Last Remnant, etc) and I'm glad I have my DS here to keep me satisfied.

Do want.

YES YES YES YES! The DS is definitely the perfect console to bring this series back to it's fantastic roots. I've been PRAYING for this one, and if it turns out to be anywhere as amazing as Suikoden II (best storyline in an rpg, no loading times, fast battles) then I'm gonna be even happier about this!

HELL YES! I can't wait for this.

DS is the new PS2, excellent game library-wise.

Outstanding news. If this is even half as good as SuiV it'll be the best DS game ever.

That said I wish the characters kept the SuiII look. The environments are gorgeous, but I hate that chibi look...

Wow...this just made my day. Huge fan of the series...can't wait to hear more about it!

yes! keep those RPGs coming! ^^

Too bad I'm not a fan of Dragon Quest games. I don't really own that many RPGs for the DS. All I've got are FF3, FF4, Pokemon Diamond, and Revenant Wings...and Dual Strike. But the last two are strategy games more than RPGs.

At any rate, I've never played a game from this series before but I'm intrigued.

The DS is pretty nice for RPGs, and as an RPG nerd, I am pleased.

HOWEVER, the last part of 2008 looks pretty busy, and as far as I can tell, a lot of games are being pushed back due to insane competition. I'm fairly certain that the RPGs that have already been announced for the DS will probably be spread out until 2010.

I never thought I would say this, but I think we RPG nerds are getting too much of a good thing at this point.

This is goddamn rubbish. If there's one series that doesn't belong on a handheld, (not just the DS), it's Suikoden.

Konami really has gone down the shitter this gen.

ahh. years ago i used to play the old game on my psone, eating snickers. . . . I'm going to have to get this one :]
