You can see a Trading Center in one of the screenshots under the 'System' tab at the Headquarters, so there will definitely be trading in Suikoden V.

Hopefully the trading system in Suikoden V will be implemented the same way they did in Suikoden III...

Was III's any different than the other entries? Seemed the same as the other games to me.

I prefer the way it was done in S4, though. Trading posts restock their items much faster, and the way items were bundled together don't clutter your inventory as much as they used to in S3.

However, I must say that S3 had the better price memory system that made it easier to compare prices of items between locations.

Ummmm...well, I hope in S5, there aren't any cities like Gregminster in S2. I like Gregminster's trading post, but it's very far you know... :(

It wouldn't have been much of a problem if Viki could teleport you there, though.

Alas, but Suikoden II simply had to put such limitation to make life more difficult that it is. Hopefully, that's not the case in S5.

Like Patapi said Suikoden III had that price history feature that made trading in that game much easier and less of a hassle.
