    Red Exclamation Mark Suikoden Creator hints at making a new IP targeted for the West.

    The good people at Suikoden Revival Movement got a nice chance to sit down and interview Yoshitaka Murayama who was the creator of Suikoden and wrote and directed the first three games along with the two SuikoGaiden games. Though he doesn't actually talk about coming back to finish Suikoden, he is apparently working on a new game that is meant for the Western fans.

    Here's the full interview. https://www.facebook.com/notes/suiko...19511931478328

    Let's discuss Suikoden!

    I can't help but feel when a JRPG makers says 'Western Fans' it is a code word for 'we are going to be making something for a market we don't understand in a way that plays to none of our strengths'.

    Suikoden II is on PSN? When did this happen and why can't I find any reference to it.

    it was announced a few months ago. Pretty sure Wolf Canoe made a thread for it. It might not be past pre-orders stage yet but I'd be surprised.

    Depends what PSN he's on. EU doesn't have access to them.

    The ESRB rated Suikoden II for the PS3, but nothing else happened with it yet.

    Oh, that's stupid. Why haven't they gotten that sorted yet? And why isn't it available for the EU?

    I wish I knew, man. I would buy the heck out of them immediately, despite already owning them.

    Konami seems to ignore any property they own that isn't Metal Gear, or one of their sports or music franchise. Though that's because most of their other famous properties are cult fan favorites that often get creamed in the marketplace despite their rabid fanbases.
