Well, the promo vidoes I've seen have me extremely pumped about Suikoden V. I didn't mind IV, but it definitely wasn't as good as III. Hopefully this will be back on track (And I note in Darkbeat's quote that there is a choice of having speech for the main character? Does this mean he WON'T be a mute, like I, II, and IV's were? Only thing I really don't like about the series right there...)
