Now the Official Genso Suikoden III thread, the place for all Genso Suikoden III info and to chat about this great game :)
That sounds SO sweet.
Price is a little high for my blood though.
I'll have to rely on you buying it, and posting impressions and pics!
So many great LEs, so little time, and even less money :confused:
Well the game is set for a July 11th release in Japan, still no date on a USA release though so hopefully they will anounce it soon.
The Genso Suikoden III OST is being released on July 24th in Japan, I have been waiting for this anouncement since Suikoden games always sport some of the nicest soundtracks around :)
Well one more day till it comes out, I wish I was 100% sure I am getting this cool LE but it looks like it will be hard to come by and NCS doesn't know whether or not they will get it :(... I will get it no matter what though as you can see how cool the Genso Suikoden III Premiere Package is :D
The pics look sooooooo sweet!
To bad I can't justify picking it up right now :*(
Good luck on getting it 'wolf!
It's mine.
Damn that's sexy!
I think I';; be making that mine as well.
I'm a HUGE Suikoden fan, but frankly, there's nothing in that LE that'd make me want to spend a ton of $ on a game I can only half understand (especially with the soundtrack sold seperately)...I'll be first in line for the domestic version though (although I've heard 3 doesn't quite live up to the first two). I'm glad they're keeping characters from the first two games in the series, though. That's one of the best parts of the series.
On the other hand, that site's classic! I have a new sig.
Just browsing eBay to see the Genso Suikoden III's for sale and I came across this auction...
If you know the Suikoden series you can tell that is the cover for Genso SuikoGaiden Volume 2, but for some reason it says 3 on it and there was never a volume 3 released, take it from one of the biggest Suikoden fans around ;) Another thing you may notice it the very strange logo at the bottom right where the Konami logo should be... is that a basketball in that logo :confused: Needless to say this poor individual got suckered :p
Are the two Suikogaidens at all worthwhile? I'm not a fan of straight-up digital comics, is there anything else to them?
Well there not like the Suikoden series that is for sure ;) They are basically a text adventure with animated and still screens, it is cool in the fact that it has all the characters and the story is pretty good (so I've heard, looks good to me) but if you don't like these type of games you might not like this, I like it because I am a huge fan of Suikoden though :DQuote:

The main character Nash from the SuikoGaiden series is in Genso Suikoden III :)
Good thing is both Gaiden games where re-released and are only about $30 each if you want to get them :)
Heres the links for more information on the games:
Suikoden Series main page
Genso SuikoGaiden Volume 1
Genso SuikoGaiden Volume 2
Genso Suikoden III
Genso Suikoden III movie (10.1MB)
Genso Suikoden III Playstation World Magazine movie (19.9MB)
EB's website has it listed as November 15th; the same day as Contra and Rygar (should be a good day, heh). I'll definitely wait for the domestic...I may have even finished Dragon Warrior VII by then...(shouldn't jinx myself like that)Quote:

Thanks for the Gaiden info. I'll check it out.
I've seen that logo before, though I can't remember where from. It's a "P". Damn, this is gonna bug me...Quote:

I really really really wish they had decided to release the text games with part 3.
they have much more control over the story in such a game, Its a shame, really. and I have to assume a mess of references will go completely over my head because of it.
and . . .
I hope that in between 2 and 3, Nanami found a rune, to be immortal like Jowy hero #2. damn, what was that last name?
I'll definitely be getting that as well. And yes, the Suikoden series has spawned some of the most colorfully inspired soundtracks ever created. But lead composer for Sui I and II, Miki Higashino, is sadly not returning for Sui III's soundtrack. When I first heard this news I was devastated. One of the things that makes the Suikoden series so memorable is the rich culture exhibited by the game's art, story, and especially, music. I couldn't imagine playing a Suikoden game to some stock, sub-par, run-of-the-mill soundtrack. It would literally ruin the entire experience. There is hope for III, nevertheless. Although Higashino is absent, a few Kukeiha members have returned to contribute to the score, as well as Michiru Yamane (Dracula X Symphony of the Night composer), and all of the clips and arrangements from Konami's Ongakushuu albums of Sui III I've heard sound a very similar vein to the previous games. They also hired some Japanese new age composer to do the opening theme, apparently.Quote:

As for the game itself... I heard the battles have been slowed down a bit though..? That would kinda suck, but I'm sure the game will still rock the coz.
- xanadujin, game music extraordinaire
IGN's posted
hands-on impressions with the import. Coolest news of all - when you start, the game asks if you want to use your save from Suikoden II!! I guess bringing Gremio back to life was worth the effort after all.
Yes! And what a fabulous article it is!
hehe.
Anyway, let me just say that this game rocks. It's incredibly beautiful, very deep, and has excellent music.
Good stuff.
What about the battles? I remember someone (EGM?) griping that the battle system was slow, unlike previous installments (although I wouldn't say the fights in II were as blazingly fast as the first one). And does the game still have the Koei-style strategy war scenes of the second one?
And I'm glad to hear Pesmerga's back - he rocks, even if he doesn't do anything special and is always freakin' hard to find.
Strider~
The battles aren't slow at all dude. They aren't quite as fast-paced as say, FFX. But still, they're not unlike the first two games in the series.
Here are some short audio clips for the Genso Suikoden III OST :)
