Suikoden IV

 

For all of the critical acclaim and all around love that each new installment in the Suikoden series gets, Konami sure doesn’t print a lot of copies of the game when it gets a North American release.  If you don’t buy the thing within a couple of weeks of the title’s release, you’re pretty much out of luck…unless you happen to enjoy buying rare games at obscene prices on eBay.  Nonetheless, there is a new edition to the series slated for release on this side of the Pacific come January 2005.

Following the story of an exiled soldier unfortunate enough to have inherited a cursed rune, the game takes place 150 years before the events of the original Suikoden.  Also familiar to fans of the series, the 108 Stars of Destiny also return for Suikoden IV.

 

Features:

 

- Strategic battle systems allow players to attack or cast magic spells with help from other party members.

- Story and character designs by producer Junko Kawano from the original Suikoden.

- Superior quality cut-scenes with dynamic lighting effects enhance the story.

- Recruit members of the Stars of Destiny and create a base from the ground up.

With even prettier visuals, some tweaks to the battle system, and the return of the series' original storyteller and character designer, long time fans of the series have something to look forward to upon Suikoden IV’s release.  Hopefully, this time there will be enough copies of the game printed so everyone can get it.
