"Back when I was still, uh, gainfully employed, I made it a mission to track down Suikoden: Tierkreis producer Masayuki Saruta to uncover just why Konami felt it necessary to discard so many familiar series elements -- the beloved game world, the True Runes, and one weapon per character -- in the franchise's first-ever DS entry. His take? Suikoden has its hardcore fans, but it's always been a niche series -- and with the massive DS install base on both sides of the Pacific, Saruta feels it's the perfect time for a user-friendly series reboot."
Whenever people talk about RPG series they would like to see make a comeback, Suikoden is often among the titles named. This Konami turn-based series is known for its massive character rosters, underdog stories where a newly form army challenges and triumphs against an established, opposing force and overarching storylines and concepts. It might be a little daunting, attempting to determine how to get into such a series. Well, [Michibiku is] here to help [readers] get into Suikoden!
It is one of the best JRPG's released in Ps1/Ps2 era and needs a revival or an HD collection. Super cheap when it's on sale, can play it on ps3, psvita. It has an amazing story and great gameplay.
The greatest 2D RPG series on the PS1. While Suikoden II has the best overall story, I'd put Suikoden V as second best in the series. Also for the love of all that is good and holy, skip Suikoden IV. Its almost unplayable. I'd rank the series as follows:
Suikoden II > Suikoden V > Suikoden > Suikoden III > Suikoden Tactics > Suikoden Tierkreis > eating a steaming pile of dog shit > Suikoden IV

Miss Suikoden? Wondering where Suikoden VI is? The Suikoden Revival Movement has a plan to get Konami's attention.
I am watching TGS. I have a feeling something Suikoden related will be announced.
The movement has make some headway. Konami Uk recognised Suikoden Day.
Only if its not another lame game like the psp one.
The DS one was OK, but also lacked a lot of features that a real Suikoden needs.
We need a true Suikoden game on the next gen consoles!
I would love to play a HD installment on the Xbox One!
