As someone that dropped Suikoden V (Despite loving it) after losing a missable character, have to agree.
The hundred heroes in the title doesn't make me optimistic tho. At best, they could make every character recruitable in the last arm of the game.
I am speechless. Suikoden 2 is my all time favorite game. I will buy this so fast. Please get funded. This makes my day, year, century, etc.
All these extremely positive posts make me so happy as it's so nice to see that there are still lots of people who love that franchise
- Nocturne HD Remaster in 2021
- SMTV's simultaneous worldwide release in 2021
- Suikoden's spiritual successor in 2022 (hopefully)
The last few weeks have been great ! :D

I don´t know what to say. I will back this so much. I do not know how many times I have said I wanted a new Suikoden in the style of Octopath Traveler design. And by the old gang. Ok so not a real Suikoden game but as close as we will get I suppose.
Only missing Miki Higashino doing music I guess. So f:ing happy right now!

Feels like Octopath Suikoden in style and straight-up classic Suikoden in substance. I'm amazed.
Ooh I'm happy (and fortunate enough) to drop 3 figures on this. I'll just think of it as money saved up from all the other crowd sourced stuff I never got involved in.
I'm giddy! From AA I'm pretty sure Murayama still has his scenario writing chops too...
LOL at this part of your post when you're talking about the Suikoden series.. flashbacks to going to Babbages and trying to figure out how the hell to ask the guy if they had Suikoden in back
I would argue that having Murayama on board means that this is the first real Suikoden game since the third title in the series (though Suikoden 5 is still most certainly an excellent game and does everything right). Konami holds the name, but who fucking cares about that shit? We got the talent! That is all that matters.
Looks very Octopath. I'm in! Will back the Kickstarter once it goes live.
Guess I'll need to play some of the earlier Suikoden games before this comes out...

Until it doesn't make the funding goal and the Suikoden dream is put to death in no uncertain terms...
Keep in mind that the first Suikoden is very rough around the edges. However, playing through it makes the second game so, so much better (and it is amazing on its own).
Especially S1 and 2 are masterpieces. 5 was damn good as well imo

It'll hit the funding goal. 500k is not a lot.
The real threat here is us being here in 2023 and the game's still not done yet and we haven't seen anything but an occasional backer blog post every three or four months that assures us it's still being worked on but shows no actual progress.
Guys how do I even play Suikoden 5 these days?
It's gonna blow past 500K the first day and then hit the stretch goals the first week and start tacking on new physical rewards as we get closer to the end of the 30 days. I don't think these guys have ever had that kind of money in their lives until reality hits them in the next 72 hours - days they will never forget I'm sure. Their work has been LOVED by a group of people who have real jobs now hahaha

Seriously. People want to scream all day about getting spiritual sequels or whatever but apparently it means nothing if you won't even put together a few dollars for a dream to happen.
Please preorder the next AAA game with microtransactions, please.
The entire series is held hostage by Konami on Sony's hardware.
Your only chance is PC emulation.
It is. I assume they're also going to self-fund or they have a publisher.
I rather have this made by these people than Konami trying to create a Suikoden 6 with a new group of developers. Konami can fuck off.
PlanetSmasher, I love you. I always enjoy seeing your presence in any thread. You are an important member of this community. However, as much as your relentless pessimism is charming (and I mean that sincerely), I think this is the one moment for you to believe in hope. This is the time for you to open your heart up to the chance that things will turn out okay (this time). Sure, you are a smasher of planets, but that doesn't mean that you can't be an embracer of dreams. I believe in you!
My man!!! This has to get fundedQUEEN
Hold up let me dig out the black card, we're funding this shit.
Damn. Seeing these images makes me wish this team was in charge of the Suikoden series instead of just sitting in Konami's IP vault. Definitely going to keep an eye on this in the future.
Yeah. That seems to be the path most crowdfunded games take these days.

Yo. It'll hit it day 1.
I have a salaried job. $$$ like I couldn't dream of as a kid and this is my dream game. If it's my dream game, then I can only imagine what industry people are going to stir up with the word of mouth on this killer. I'm interested to see if it hits PS5 by the end of the first week. If I had to guess? It's gonna set records for Kickstarter and games software.
It's not ideal, but 1-4 are all on the PSN. If you have a PS3, you can play all of them (1 & 2 can also be played on the PSP & Vita).
But not on PS4? :(
I could probably dig out my vita somewhere though!

Per this article - Mitsuya is involved with the music?
I doubt it will set many records. I mean I hope it will. I will back it with a lot. Depending on what the rewards are. I have a well paying job and love these games more than any game ever. Played them so many times and still play them occasionally. But it is not that popular of a series. But I am sure it will reach its goal fast.
BTW Love how they picked a new name no English speaking person will be able to pronounce correctly!
I'm thinking above a million (but below three). However, I hope it destroys records and provides Murayama and his team the money to make the game they want to make.
Fun fact, the last Kickstarter game I contributed to was your game, WereZompire. It was also because you were talking about Suikoden being an influence. It is nice to see you here with fellow Suikoden fans. We need to cling together.
Man this inability to play PSN classics on modern hardware is stupid. I'd love to play through Suikoden II, but I sold my PS3 and PSP long ago. I think I still have my Vita, but I haven't used it in years...
On topic, I'mma back the shit out of this. Never played any Suikoden game before, but I trust its legacy and therefore the pedigree of the creators. Always down for more pseudo-retro JRPGs on Switch!

Oh wow, it looks very nice. I really like the graphics. Sort of a modern retro throwback. It mimics the PS1 look while using modern effects as well.
This is me being hopeful. I don't think Murayama's trying to scam anyone, at least! But this is a brand new studio that was put together in March of this year and they think they're gonna have a full Kickstarted RPG out in two years? And they're asking for $500k with no backup plan?
If they manage to pull it off I will be very happy for them. But there are enough historical red flags associated with classic nostalgic JRPG throwback Kickstarters that I have to be realistic and not let myself get carried away by hope. Suikoden II is too important to me to open myself up for another letdown.
It's not a hard and fast rule. The protags of Suikoden III were fully talkative characters and S5's protagonist had a few lines.
