Name: Tierkreis
why this name?
wiki says its a german word for Zodiac
do you suppose the 108 SoD have a connection to the Zodiac signs
like say for example
the stars that compose the 12 Zodiac constellations are the 108 Stars of destiny
that was my quick assumption, did the news says different?
*pardon if this has been discussed on another thread, i did not subscribe to a 30 page thread*

Re: Name: Tierkreis
i would assume it's a focus on the "Stars" aspect of being a Star of Destiny. that's why a new battle feature was added called "Mark of the Star", and even in the cutscene at the beginning of the game, the main character says to the villain "we'll release every Mark of the Star (on you)."
there will be a strong focus on the gathering (or re-gathering) of the Stars in this game.

Re: Name: Tierkreis
This is pure speculation, but perhaps "Tierkreis" could have something to do with the Night Rune aka Star Dragon Sword aka Zodiac Sword? It's alleged child, Zerase, bears the unique Star Rune to boot.
That said, it's probably a representation of the 108 Stars of Destiny structure instead of the introduction of your typical Zodiac systems (be it Western, Chinese, etc).

Re: Name: Tierkreis
Someone also pointed out in another thread that "Tierkreis" is the name of a musical composition by Stockhausen. Obviously it's still only speculation but like Rhapsodia, Tierkreis may have been chosen for musical reasons.

Re: Name: Tierkreis
Have we heard if this name is being carried over to an English version? I would assume it would just be called Suikoden DS or something equally boring.

Re: Name: Tierkreis
Yeah, it's confirmed. The NA trademark registration was actually the first hint that we got at this game, too.
"Suikoden Tierkreis". As usual, they drop "Gensou" from the English title.

I see "Suikoden DS" coming to Germany. Either way, I'm afraid it will get little to no attention here >.<Oppenheimer wrote:Have we heard if this name is being carried over to an English version? I would assume it would just be called Suikoden DS or something equally boring.

Re: Name: Tierkreis
Yeah, I saw a pic of the official english cover/box art and it was "Suikoden Tierkreis".
Hmm... I wonder why not "Suikoden Zodiac".. It's cool ain't it? Or not......Oh well.

Re: Name: Tierkreis
I can see this name causing trouble:
Previously:
Me: "Do you have Suikoden V in yet? It's out today"
EBgames lackie "What five?"
Me: "Suikoden . . . S-u-i-k-o-d-e-n"
EB: *types it in* "Well, it's supposed to be out, but we don't have it yet. Try back later"
Repeat later that day
Now:
Me: "Do you have Suikoden Tierkreis in yet? It's out today"
EBgames lackie "What what?"
Me: "Suikoden . . . S-u-i-k-o-d-e-n, Tierkreis . . . T-i-e-. . ."
you get the point. *sigh*

Re: Name: Tierkreis
In that case, writing the title on paper in advance would help greatly, heh.

Re: Name: Tierkreis
Haha
Suikoden names sure are unique for us fans. But it may also be a reason to lower its sales!
Y'know like:
Boy: to you have here a game named SooKOden?
Seller knowledgable of the right pronunciation: Nope.

Re: Name: Tierkreis
I don't think I know the proper pronunciation.
buuuuuuuuuuuuuuuut I've never asked an employee about it, I'd usually go look or just order it online. :/

Re: Name: Tierkreis
Well.. you can hear the pronounce at the end of the TGS trailer.. it sounds kinda like "tiakrais" but we all know how the japanese use to pronounce foreign (expecially english) words
