I hope the fact that all the revealed characters have a favorite food listed means that there will be a cooking system/mini game.

Hold up let me dig out the black card, we're funding this shit.
Hrmmm.
I am in. But man oh man after Mighty No. 9 and Shenmue and how they turned out I have to really keep my own expectations in check.

I'm happy this thread is getting a lot of attention, Suikoden was an amazing RPG and probably my 2nd favorite RPG series on the original Playstation. Large cast RPG's need a come back.
Just as likely to fail. Every kickstarter is a risk investment. That said, there are some games I'm willing to bet on more than others.
I hope so too. Cooking in S2 is one of my favourite minigames of all time
I haven't backed anything on Kickstarter in years and this is the first time I am tempted to in a long time. To be honest, I am expecting it to take years only to end in disappointment and tears, but even then I think I might have to roll the dice on something that might scratch that Suikoden itch for me. I wonder if they will commit to a Steam release because I don't fuck with EGS.
I'll say, I'm not over the moon with Nowa's design. He doesn't look as cool as Tir, Riou, Hugo or Frey.
I do love that he's continuing the tradition of Chinese martial arts weaponry with the hookswords, though. I hope if they do a sequel that the protagonist uses a meteor hammer or rope dart. Though I wouldn't say no to a fangtian ji or a snake spear either.

Its always more than a little frustrating when we've seen the amazing games we can get from them, more than a few.
FTL, Darkest Dungeon, Bloodstained/Curse of Moon, Both Divnity OS games, Undertale, Night in the Woods, Crosscode, Hyper Light Drifter, Sunless Sea, Banner Saga, etc.
Its always a gamble but don't pretend we haven't gotten a lot back from it, stuff that might never have existed without Kickstarter. Its fine if you don't want to take the risk (JRPGs don't have the best track record on the service so far, for sure) but don't pretend like it hasn't worked to great effect before.
Those screenshots look so good, but after what happened to Boodstained and MN9 original kickstarter shots, hard to say if they won't downgrade the same.
I really, really hope they get whoever composed this for the sequel.
That character art is Suikoden 2 as fuck.
Funny because the artist is from Suikoden 1 and 4.
If their putting it on Switch then why not also release on current gen consoles? Makes no sense they are leaving money on the table.
One of the most beautiful songs ever made.
Just listening to this brings back so many wonderful memories.
Saying that Suikoden means a lot to me is really an understatement.
Yes... my original response was directed towards the cynicism in this thread. Aka it will fail, and now we are back at square one with your comment.
To be absolutely fair, either stance is a logical fallacy. Past kickstarters have no bearing on the outcome of this or any future kickstarters.

Screw Gematsu, screw them. They act like damn experts on Japanese everything. They're not. Tired of Sal shrieking and screeching ah ah ah don't copy and paste this and that article here, it's a Gematsu exclusive!! 🙄🙄 Cry me a river Sal. The news is posted everywhere within minutes, stop acting like you have all these exclusive scoops when you don't. After the night I had last night I'm not in the mood for "prominent" forum members, forum antics and "credible" journalists. I'm tired of being afraid to say what I think of this joke of an industry. The games are great, the industry politics aren't.
There's a vast chasm between a kickstarter with a seasoned game producer getting the gang back together to make a fairly low budget game based on a beloved series, and a kickstarter where a cocky young nobody wants to make the perfect action/RPG/platformer/racer/space exploration/tactical sim/romance game with 5000 characters, a million lines of dialogue and five sculpted 1:6 statues for all supporters.
I'm assuming that it will take time. I'm guessing 2023, which is still infinitely sooner than I expect a new Suikoden, so I'm all in for it.
As for the game itself... I would love it if Viki just teleports in and keeps doing her thing, with no further explanation. Surely Konami can't have a trademark on a specific character like that?
I'm not against Kickstarter but aren't all of those games of a smaller scale and scope than a Suikoden game?
I'm torn because Suikoden was amazing in part because of that scope, but on the other hand even if they came out with something that grand, how am I going to play it?

Wow, it looks really the jRPG of my dreams!
Using new technologies to do something fresh grounded in the past. The battle screen is amazing.

They can't use them, that's why they're maling their own Suikoden because of Konami rights :(
edit doesnt change how bad that post was
On topic: This looks incredible. Whew. I expected a neat little JRPG but this ... is way above what I expected.
