So the stories are connected, but you don't have to play the first two in order to play the third... although you can transfer your Suikoden II saved file to your Suikoden III new file, it's not really nessasary.

And Bobcat, when does it come out in Australia?

no idea. It's not even getting a release date.

When was it released in the US?

There are both *gasp* and dissapointment factors if you play Suikoden and Suikoden II before Suikoden III.

Suikoden III has a lot of nifty plot twists and character appearances that would shock one who had played Suikoden I and II. However, Suikoden III was the first of the series to go 3D, which took a bit out of the usual gameplay and overall feel of the first two. Also, while the third game is excellent by normal standards, it didn't feel as "epic" as I had hoped, having played the first two before hand.

So, without playing the first two, you should be impressed by the story line, mass of characters, the gameplay, and possibly even the graphics (they're mediocre). You will miss out on inside jokes and plot twists though.

Looking forward to playing it, when it comes out here.

Bobcat, I just remembered this, but a few months ago I read that the PAL version of Suikoden III was cancelled. You may have to import it.

oh ffs.

Stupid PAL. I can't play imported Ps2 games. Don't have the S/W or H/W.

I'm gonna have to leave it then. I saw Wild Arms 3 at my local video store. Maybe that's worth hiring.

Proceed with caution, I myself did not like WA3 at all. But if it's being sold for a good price, you could try it out. Otherwise, you might want to rent it first.
