Seriously though, what sold me was the Ship battles. Out of all the strategic battles in all the Suikodens, the ship battles were the most fun, intense and AWESOME MUSIC. Well, for me a least it was.

Really? It was a couple of years ago now so I may be wrong, but I kind of remembered the ship battles as being really easy and underwhelming... ah, well. Agree with you about the music. And still enjoyed them more than V's real-time war battles.

Actually, I enjoyed quite a lot of IV more than V. Somehow. Because V really was just clearly better!



btw, if anyone here's actually playing Tierkreis but me and Ralph (finished yet? I just did, earlier today), the reward for getting all 108 stars is seriously not worth it. Don't worry if you miss some stars, and definitely don't restart because of it.

After losing an hour of work because of not saving and then dying while trying to train lowlevel characters, I haven't touched it yet. I'm gonna play again soon, but it's gonna take a while for me to finish, seeing as I play 25 games at a time.

Ugh, that sucks. I tended to go long periods of time without saving when not on the main quest, so I can empathise... it'd be shit to lose a whole levelling session. Fair enough, then!

I havent played too far, but this seems like a really generic and mediocre JRPG, with very little going for it. The voice acting is painful.

The first parts of the game is indeed really mediocre, but it gets better real soon.
