Konami didn't have much in the way of RPGs this year on the show floor, but one that was there belongs to a well known series of games. Suikoden Tierkreis is the latest Suikoden title and the first for the Nintendo DS, and it shows promise. From first glance it doesn't seem like the best Suikoden game, but it is not a complete disappointment either.
Whenever people talk about RPG series they would like to see make a comeback, Suikoden is often among the titles named. This Konami turn-based series is known for its massive character rosters, underdog stories where a newly form army challenges and triumphs against an established, opposing force and overarching storylines and concepts. It might be a little daunting, attempting to determine how to get into such a series. Well, [Michibiku is] here to help [readers] get into Suikoden!
It is one of the best JRPG's released in Ps1/Ps2 era and needs a revival or an HD collection. Super cheap when it's on sale, can play it on ps3, psvita. It has an amazing story and great gameplay.
The greatest 2D RPG series on the PS1. While Suikoden II has the best overall story, I'd put Suikoden V as second best in the series. Also for the love of all that is good and holy, skip Suikoden IV. Its almost unplayable. I'd rank the series as follows:
Suikoden II > Suikoden V > Suikoden > Suikoden III > Suikoden Tactics > Suikoden Tierkreis > eating a steaming pile of dog shit > Suikoden IV

Miss Suikoden? Wondering where Suikoden VI is? The Suikoden Revival Movement has a plan to get Konami's attention.
I am watching TGS. I have a feeling something Suikoden related will be announced.
The movement has make some headway. Konami Uk recognised Suikoden Day.
Only if its not another lame game like the psp one.
The DS one was OK, but also lacked a lot of features that a real Suikoden needs.
We need a true Suikoden game on the next gen consoles!
I would love to play a HD installment on the Xbox One!
