RandomNPC – Video Game RPG Reviews, Editorials, and Features

In a press release Tuesday, Konami announced that the latest installment in their Suikoden RPG series, the DS-bound Suikoden Tierkreis, will be localized for a North American release.  Plot details have been sparse thus far, with suggestions of parallel worlds being involved somehow.  Reportedly, the story begins with all but three of the Stars of Destiny dying in battle, and the survivors are tasked with “resurrecting” the others to take on the One King.  Konami also indicated that Tierkreis will make use of the online capabilities of the DS, allowing players to send some of their characters on quests that others can complete.  No US release date has been posted.
