Suikoden Tierkreis isn't perfect, but its strengths more than make up for its few weaknesses, and as a game representing a series whose fans have come to expect a degree of quality, it does the previous Suikoden titles justice in its successful orientation into the world of handheld gaming. If you own a DS and enjoy RPGs, then you should own Suikoden Tierkreis, that is to say you possess the constitution to persevere through what may very well be the worst voice acting in videogame history, and aren't so much of a stickler for Suikoden formula that the alterations to the rune system throw off your enjoyment.
