Characters are 3D polygons
Field backgrounds are 2D
Battles are entirely 3D
Character portraits (bust up) in conversation scenes
There is a field map
Parties of 4 "????" with faces and stats on the top screen
Looks like an orthodox RPG
Also the voice cast for five characters.

Details from the scans:
50% complete
Animated intro
There are combination attacks and support party members
"Battles are fast-paced"??you tap icons on the side of the touch screen
It seems to be a real game with 108 characters, although the headline is "The Chosen 108 heroes have been destroyed?!" So maybe there's something funky going on? But it also talks of 108 stories, so... I dunno!

Apparently the game begins with the 108 heroes engaged in their final battle with the villain, and all the heroes being taken down except for four. This game's hero is not one of them, and his quest involves reassembling the 108, as opposed to discovering them.

I haven't gotten far enough into the scans to say for sure, but the word they used was "zenmetsu suru" (annihilate). That implies to me more than just defeated. I haven't come across anything yet that clearly states it, but it seems like the boy was the original hero. The last sentence discussing the hero on the first page ends with "108 stars are completely annihilated, but [what about] the hero.....?" That almost sounds like the hero escaped and is trying again, but I haven't read enough to say that with any certainty.

Characters

The main character has no name, but apparently will be voiced by Takashi Hiroshi. It is unknown if this will just be in 'grunts' a la Lazlo and Freyjadour in Suikoden IV and V or like Kyril in Suikoden Tactics.

The character Jail (ジェイル) will be voiced by Ryotaro Okiayu. The female character Marika (マリカ) will be voiced by Sakamoto Maya. Ryu (リウ) will be voiced by Tetsuya Kakihara and finally, Dirk (ディルク) will be voiced by Konishi Katsuyuki who is also voicing Viktor in the Suikoden radio drama detailed on this site.

A porpoise race (I mean a species, not an athletic competition, they are like dolphins) has been confirmed for the game.

Actual character information; The hero is a youth from an idyllic village, Sidro. Jail is a quite, but sometimes brash young man who cares about the hero and others within the town guard. The character Dirk is the leader of the Sidro town guard, he teaches the others to fight and is very strong, etc. Marika is a friend of the hero from childhood and daughter of the village chief as well as a member of the town guard, while Ryu is a vagabound who arrived in the village some time ago. He doesn't like to fight very often.

Other characters shown include Yula (ユラ), a brown haired girl who appears in battle screenshots and Misrach (ミズラック), a tanned man with a small beard in the same battle shots.

Setting

The game is set in the Kingdom of Salsaville. However, the hero's home village appears to be called Sidro Village (シトロ村). Other locations include; the town of Saad, Freseria Forest, the Marcina Plains, Septaflos (the home of the porpoise-based race) and El Kalaal, the palace of a nation (not Salsaville) ruled by Danash VIII.

My questions!

What system is it going to be for??

Is it going to be the offical "Suikoden 6" or a seperate series that they are making to give us something to do until SUikoden 6 come out?

Is the 108 Stars at the begining of the game who are killed/drestroyed revived by the New hero collectionm all 108 for himself?

I heard that the Chrono games have done this going from one world or dimension to another so at lease it'll give another common interest that both series will share.

Of course you Chrono experts would know more about it then i would.
