Apr. 3rd, 2009 10:27 pmSo I'm trying to do this little sidequest in Tierkreis...
( I don't think there's anything spoilery here, but better safe than sorry, right? )

Sad, yet true. On the other hand, it did help me get in and out of the store within five minutes with the games I wanted.
I now am the completely geeked-out owner of Dragonquest V and Suikoden Tierkreis. Obviously, I'm playing the Suikoden one right now.
At first I was kinda disappointed to learn that runes aren't included in this game. And apparantly none of the characters from the previous games will be showing up either. To be honest though, this game is going so smoothly that I keep forgetting those facts. This game is just plain fun. I'm not usually one to ogle over a battle system, but it's pretty smooth and you don't have to level-grind too much. The fact that the monsters drop items rather than money (ala FF12) helps to reinforce the trading post system as well. During the first hour I just ran around the Citro Plains and got a good stash of loot I could sell off at the trade post.
Of course I'm the girl who's far too entertained by little things like using my stylus on the screen to make the hero run in circles. He's a good sport though. Definitely a change from the past couple of main characters in the series who were always serious to a fault sometimes. It's hard to put his character into words, but if he ever met one of the other Suikoden heroes, I think it'd be kinda like Zidane meeting Squall in Dissidia. :3
Damn, now I really wanna see that happen.
...And what with the whole "infinity worlds" thing being opened up with this game's storyline, there's good opportunity for crossover fics; not just with the previous games, but other series as well. ♥
Well, at least I hope so. Please don't make me write it myself. It would blind small children. Please think of the children, won't you?
EDIT: There is one thing about the game I don't like though: I have never come across such a completely USELESS instruction manual for a game in my life! Are they depending on people buying the guide book in order to make up for it? Geez.
