I think one of the bigger differences is that the themes are a bit different. Gone are the wars between people and people, with true runes lurking in the background. The story of Tierkreis is more of a … dare I say, Final Fantasy structure (at least, FF in its initial stages before it starts involving the whole damn world)? Fighting against a large religious organization doesn't seem to be a very … Suikoden-type plot.

Either way, I like Tierkreis for what it is =P It may be a disappointment for Suikoden fans, but it's a good game overall.

It's a fun DS RPG, but it doesn't feel as epic as a Suikoden game. Plus the voice acting absolutely made the enjoyment take a hit, and not just the main character who is super annoying – a supposed emotional reunion between two sisters is rather lacking. I read fast so I kept hitting “A” as fast as I can to avoid the voices. There should have been an option to turn these voices off.

Yes even thought am an absolutely huge Suikoden fan, when I begun this game I just wanted a fun thrilling RPG and thats what I got, I feel Suikoden fans are caring more than necessary for Suikoden elements especially that this not Sukoden 6.

So uh, I don't know if I want this anymore. It sounds like it is missing everything I love about the series. Oh well, I could beat 1 or 2 for the 25th or so time, or maybe do another 3 play-through.

Oh yeah, it's definitely called a cudgel – but the main character holds it in the same fashion as the character of Suikoden 1 held his staff. (However, the main character of Suikoden Tierkreis doesn't spin it over his head then slam it down like a badass.)

If I see your characters hanging out on the Corridor, I'll be sure to have them come visit for a while.

Nice naming!

At the moment I'm still waiting to double check the area past the mountains before the porpos-kin's village. I'm giving WiFi a try and I've sent one of my characters out into the Infinity.

Actually, I think they did call it a cudgel. I think it did. I know I've seen a cudgel in my inventory... I think Yadima came with one equipped too.

I was a little disappointed that the only real nod to Suikoden was the fact that I named my group 'Harmonia Company' of Budehuc Castle. (Hey, it's an alternate reality, I can play with factions how I like. )

I'm only a few hours in – just past the part where you go talk to the … Porpos-kin? for the first time. That said, while there's no main characters popping in from other Suikodens, the main character's first weapon definitely seemed like a nod to the main characters of Suikoden 1, at least – the game may call it a cudgel, but I know a staff when I see one.

Love it as well, though I have a hard time understanding why people seem so focused on whether this is a Suikoden or not: It's a very good game, and that sadly seems to be lost in the oh so important “Suikoden question”.

I can totally relate, except I don't even have a PSP. I'd like to see Suikoden VI on DS, PS2, or Wii. Just as long as it's a console that I own, I'm fine.

Wow, and I thought it was just me or a faulty cart (I have that kind of bad luck…) that made them sound like they were hyped on pixie sticks!
