can crowdfunded campaign raise enough money to make a game on par with the original ps1 games though? I've yet to see an indie dev pull this off.
I would sacrifice the entire potential future of the Breath of Fire franchise on the altar of Suikoden 6.
I highly doubt Murayama would be involved in anything Konami or Suikoden related.Suikoden makes too much sense for a gacha game. Given Konami being what it is in the modern gaming world that's really the only way this goes.
Well, a lot has been announced out of the blue this summer...Realistically this is going to be something very small. Like, he's just going to announce it out of the blue?

In this case, he has been teasing it for over 6 months already. Judging from his tweets this is something he has been looking forward to a lot and has been trying to get people's attention for. Plus, he knows everyone in his comment section is hungry for Suikoden. So unless he's been trolling us this entire time, I wouldn't say it's that small.
It's somehow related to Suikoden, as he recently tweeted "I'm digging up past (physical) materials for a variety of reasons." and proceeded to post photos of early Suikoden pitch documents. He is of course not at Konami, so his new project isn't Suikoden (unless his one-man "Blue Moon Studio" somehow got contracted to write a new Suikoden... but then he wouldn't announce it himself). Especially with the personal social media outreach, it all points to a Kickstarter for a spiritual successor.
A Murayama game with Sony's funding would be epic

Do they know?
I know it can't be a new Suikoden, but is it too much hoping for a Suikoden spiritual successor made by Murayama?
