- Book cover
- 5 character bookmarks

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
A review of the GameStop preorder bonus soundtrack and artbook to Suikoden Tierkreis.
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.
i didnt like the ds one either-- at least when compared to the other installments
We need a true Suikoden game on the next gen consoles!
I would love to play a HD installment on the Xbox One!
Creating 108 characters along with villains and other supporting characters in a huge land of various nations will be no easy feat to develop on next gen consoles. I'd be happy if we at least got a true sequel on the Vita. And why would it be on xboxone? The numbered Suikoden games were PS exclusive except for the 1st which was ported to the Saturn and only released in Japan.
"will be no easy feat to develop on next gen consoles.
If they can make living, breathing worlds like GTA and WatchDogs (etc., etc.)then something like Suikoden should be no problem.
Why wouldn't it be on Xbox One? A number of Sony only jrpg's have already made it's home on Xbox. Konami has made all multiplatform games, why would this be any different.
they could make like an indie game with some decent graphics like this guy is doing... Alone! edit: well, since I can't post links because it says that it looks like spam then just look for "Soul Saga" on Youtube.
High production values are not needed in Suikoden, all they need is the art-style to be charming enough to draw the attention of people.

Look, I loved Suiko 1 through 5, and there's absolutely no way that a Konami Suikoden team could be equated with Rockstar or Ubisoft. Those companies see a huge amount of customers for their two games you just mentioned, so massive projects with huge teams were invested in, hoping that the giant amounts of money thrown at the projects will generate a profit. There is nowhere near that type of audience for Suikoden, and therefore nowhere near that amount of money.
I'd love to see an HD two-dimensional sequel to Suikoden 2. None of this next-gen polygon pushing, just oodles of content with a distinctively Suikoden aesthetic and awesome music. Heck, throw the kind of money a Disgaea game gets at that, and you'll most likely wind up with a fine title, far better than the corner-cutting you'd have to see with a "next gen" triple-a game.
@ Xbox not saying that it wont happen but more than likely it wont happen-- unlike some of konamis team suikoden is team is not only small but its budget is pretty small compared to other titles they produce-- its one of the few games that they produce one system at a time--- Xbox in marketing world is a financial suicide as xbox jrpg sales pale in comparison to likes of playstation or nintendo-- hate to say it but if you dig jrpgs maybe you looking at the wrong system-- xbox is catered to more shooters and action oriented games-- which appeals american and European audiences-- by no means does this mean xbox wont get jrpgs as it will but smaller and niche market jrpgs simply dont have a market in xbox world-- and no company is gonna risk releasing it when 360 failed in this market miserably.
--To point out a few Tales V, Star, Eternal Sym were titles that was released as 360 exclusive but moved to playstation because of lack of sales-- blue dragon series shifted to nintendo-- and we havent seen anything meaningful from mist walker for ms. Lost odyssey was good but mistwalker doesnt have any relations with sony so there was no port--- new tales are all on sony or ninty atm
tsss ... konami just do a real and actually good new suikoden game already .
Yea this game was pretty Mehish. Didn't feel like a suikoden game at ALL except for the references to 108 stars of destiny. As a fan, I don't believe this game really tried to appeal to me.
How I miss suikoden :( The original was one of the most unique rpg experiences i've ever came across and easily one of the best. Long live suikoden!
