New Suikoden gets a story, still not Old Suikoden’s story

If it wasn’t clear already, fellow fans, it looks like the days of Viki, Jeane, and “DIE PIG!!!” are truly over. Suikoden: The Woven Tale of a Hundred Years, the recently-announced PSP installment of the series is set in a new setting, with a new story.

As for what the story is, it seems to sound a bit like Final Fantasy X. Every hundred years or so a giant monster comes out to wreck the world. Your guy, an orphaned swordsman from the future, is whisked back in time by someone named Zephos, and must now wreck the monster before it can do its own wrecking. Presumably 108 people will be needed to do the job.

If you’ll excuse me, I’m off to replay Suikoden V and cry.
