* Weapons bought instead of upgraded.
* No True Runes

Mission based, no true runes, no one-on-one duels, no strategic battles, possibly no Viki or Jeane and set in a parallel world? Part of the appeal of Suikoden was that it was all in the same world, just different time periods and different nations. I mean I'll probably still get it, but I was hoping it'd be more Suikoden than not, even if it's a sidestory. Though this is NP so take what they say with a grain of salt.. either way I hope they are working on Suikoden VI.
