Oh I didn't even look at your username lol
I stand by what I said
I started playing Suikoden about a month or two back- I would have really appreciated having a sprint in Suikoden 1. I'll hold off for the remaster before jumping into 2. I'm very happy that this is happening and hope 3-5 eventually get the same treatment!
Reminder that Suikoden V was really incredible, and if the director of that entry is down to make more, that's very promising IMO.
damn so it's being done internally? And by the Suikoden 5 dude? Oh man. That is so cool.
i don't know as of yet it it's completely done internally. they did get Junko Kawano to redraw her Suikoden 1 portraits for the remaster while she's developing Eiyuden Chronicle.
Ok, I'm listening...
This just sounds overwhelming though! But How Long To Beat shows just 20-30 hours, so many it's not as overwhelming as it sounds?
Sold
Will definitely check these out :-)
This shows how much the redrawn portraits were needed. Junko Kawano is a good designer, but some of the art was very sloppy and then scanned and compressed into very low resolution pixel portraits. Even the original art (available in artbooks and such) is rather simple. Like Melodye there, her face is all messed up in the original, and Ted's and Jeane's faces are all weird.
I'm just amazed that "@suikoden" was just available for them to register.
I believe the last time I replayed it, I found that he will always have the same results in the same order, so even without memorizing them, you can just do the first one, then quit out and challenge him again, betting everything on that result every time.
It's like if Square kept doing games in the style (and quality) of Chrono Trigger and Final Fantasy VI and never went into this whole 3D thing until much later. Suikoden 1 has some weak points but still a very good package thanks to the music, characters and the entire concept of it, while Suikoden 2 is the concept perfected.
It's possible they always had the domain, or they purchased it from someone who did.
What's weird to me is that "@ ResidentEvil" is the official account for the live action movies...
Yeah there's two on psx and three on ps2, plus some spinoffs.
And since the games take place over a period of time in the same world, you might recruit a husband and wife in S2 and in S3 you can recruit their daughter. Lots of connections and callbacks and recurring characters, makes everything really cool.
Just check out the gorgeous opening to S3

Speaking of intros, watch the intro to 4 too. It's not a great game, but the music is still solid.

Welp, I guess we know who will make Suikoden VI if they ever greenlight it.

Suikoden I&II were amazing for the budding JRPG fan when they came out. I still have my psx copies in the closet somewhere.
Can't wait to see them with a glow up. Let's go!!

Both games are gems and long overdue for a treatment like this. I do think seeing these games in 16:9 will take some getting used to though.
Yeah that was it! I loved using that exploit to start a new playthrough lol
And I hate that I like the redraws of the freakin villains the best lmao They're all real nice though!
All I want from FFXVI is to not kill God with the power of friendship at the end of the game, please Yoshi P, please 🙏
Yeah Suikoden V is really good tbh, it's up there with SI and SII for me. It's pretty long though and it's like one big war drama (bigger focus on drama).
Anyone else find it wild that out of every game Konami could release in the mainstream gaming space it ends up being Suikoden 1+2?
Looks like the entire game just got leaked? I'm seeing some screenshots and apparently one of the features is a classic sprite mode.
And a dev menu
Lemme know if I should take these down

I saw that second screenshot elsewhere and thought maybe someone was trolling and using the PSP port in an emulator for that one but uh... those other shots are damning. How does that even happen?
This is exciting! One of those rare RPG series I never got to try, so stoked to give it a go here!
Is Suikoden 1 worth playing? Of course Suikoden 2 is the one everyone talks about, so is 1 worth the time investment?

Yes, absolutely. Suikoden 1 is a really good game (it's what established a lot of fans of the series in the first place), and it ties in directly with Suikoden 2 (which takes place a few years after and features a lot of returning characters). Plus it's only around 20 hours long.
Very much so. It's a fun, breezy game and there's a fair amount of stuff you can actually carry over to the sequel from a completed save file from the first game.
Absolutely. Seeing the game mature itself in the 2nd entry will blow your mind.
buying 20 copies of this to do my part. Need to show them it's worth remastering the other Suikodens.
Not sure how to feel about the backgrounds. Such a stark contrast against the pixel characters, though I never played Suikoden 1. Seeing those Suikoden 2 shots though of the ridge and outside the city though and oooooh that looks nice.
Either way, I'm in. Suikoden 2 is like, one of my favourite RPGs.

100% it's good, not long and totally enhances the enjoyment in 2
what do you mean by "the entire game"? Like there's a playable build of the game floating on the net somewhere?Looks like the entire game just got leaked? I'm seeing some screenshots and apparently one of the features is a classic sprite mode.

What? How... ? This really sucks for those devs.
But good to see classic backgrounds are in, as well as the gallery option from the PSP version. That looked fun, there was a music player in it too. Hopefully they don't remove these things by the time it releases here.
I love Suikoden 1 and was never able to finish Suikoden 2 for various reasons.. so I booted it up today thanks to the news. I don't think the remake looks that good and love playing the originals on Vita, so that's what I'm going with here.
Did it actually leak or did someone who has access to it just post a few screens to share unannounced features?
Suikoden 2 is probably one of the best JRPGs ever made. Suikoden 1 is decent and to get the most out of 2 you should play one. 1 is like 15 hours maybe? Not that long.
After playing Suikoden 1 I bought 2 from the PS3 store, but never got around to playing it. So I guess I'll double dip for this remaster. Graphically it looks a bit light and probably they would have been better off remaking the all the art. When I played 1, I was much more into the mechanics and story of Suikoden than I was the art style.
The Suikoden 2 portraits look a bit weird. It's very close to the original, but... like there's something off to it, at least Nanami's. Like they're redrawn or retraced from the original but lacking in details.
