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!

What do you think of the other Suikodens?

I gave up, this game is just plain boring. Back to Chrono Trigger for me.

Yeah that is because of the memory restriction! they want less recording time.
yet its impressive they put all that voice acting in the game, but later I think it gave kind of character to the hero like he is a rush full but kind guy.

I'd love to see it on the DS, PSP or Wii because those are the systems I own. :P
