Take/Recapture/Recover Everything Back
すべてを、奪還する
This is supposed to be an important phrase in this game. King mentioned it a few times and it shows up at the end of the latest trailer. What do you think it means?

I wonder if one of the possible "shades of meaning" is a reference to how this game is in many ways a throwback to the more classic Suikoden II? In other words, it "recovers" the classic style that made Suikoden so popular in the first place? (I guess it would depend on the reception of Suikoden III and especially IV in Japan).

Possibly. But, it definitely doesn't look like as if they are producing a 3D version of S2 and completely ignoring anything that came afterwards. Most probably: lessons were learned throughout the series, and they are consciously bringing together the best of all worlds as much as possible into a single game. (With S4, it really does feel as if the production team were assuming too much and thus solved the wrong problems.)
How was S3's performance anyway? I know S4's sales figures were rather misleading when compared to the kind of reception that it got...
Although, to be honest, I find the definition of "the classic style of Suikoden" to be rather loose. Maybe someone ought to explain what is considered "classic" and what is not. It's subjective.

Hmm I did'nt think that the recover catchphrase could be referring to the 5th installment itself. Interesting.
Suiko 4 got terrible reviews and it also got word of mouth here and other forums so probably less than what Suiko 3 made. This is just specualtion BTW.
From what I understay, Suiko 3's perfromance was decent. It got rave reviews in magazines and it got word of mouth on the net so maybe along the lines of of 100,00 copies, more or less. It did'nt get a "greatest hits" title so it less than 500,000.How was S3's performance anyway? I know S4's sales figures were rather misleading when compared to the kind of reception that it got...

I played Suikoden IV and actually enjoyed it. It had a lot of elements that Suikoden 3 was missing. But, I would be remissed if I didn't say it was lacking. But, it was a solid game in it's own right.
As for the statement, I think they are referring to taking Suikoden back to its roots and recapturing the essence of the series which drew fans in form the beginning.
