I'm shocked this didn't get more of a response. I know Suikoden is no Dragon Quest or Final Fantasy, but it definitely has a following. The series started during one of the best eras of video games, and it's a shame Yoshitaka Murayama won't be able to see the results of his newest project.

Yeah, it's a real shame

Sad to be just learning about this. I haven't played Suikoden or Eiyuden, but have had an interest to do so for years.
