Suikoden: Tierkreis to feature 'rich' online experience

We've got roughly a gazillion RPGs to look forward to on the DS, and Genso Suikoden: Tierkreis is near the top of the pile. The game was first revealed last month in Famitsu, but since then an official site has opened (though is not exactly bulging with content yet, aside from the occasional character profile, as seen above) and Konami has dropped further details on the title.
The meat of the new press release is the news that Suikoden: Tierkreis will feature all-new online elements, which (Konami hopes) will spawn a "rich online community." How does it work? Apparently, players will be able to dispatch their characters on quests that other members of the community will then complete for them, before their character is returned to their party with new equipment, abilities and treasures. Make that two forthcoming DS RPGs with awesome online modes!

I predict myself going broke next year.
It's the year of the RPGs for the DS and I'm liking it.

God, and I thought the DS was dead as an RPG system. Who knew I would be spending so much money on my hand helds?

I don't know about those "online capacities", but I'm excited about another RPG. ^^
I'm also going broke because of the amount of quality games being released on the DS....but keep them coming, I will scratch together money some how.lol.

Go and watch the videos of ds.ign.com. This game could win an award both for worst font of all time, AND worst voice acting in a ds game.
Where's the quality control these days?
