Heh, just clicked on the Kickstarter and saw it is already above $1.5m.  That's a really good sign.  It will be interesting to see how high it gets by the time the Kickstarter ends.  

I kind of think games/series that get discovered later, like this one, are primed to do really well on Kickstarter.  This series was not even on my radar back in the PS1/PS2 days.  It's hard to know how many Suikoden fans are out there, but you can look at the price of buying a used Suikoden 2 to get some indication that the series has a strong following.

I've always been aware of Suikoden having a passionate following (just not how many of them there are), partially because I've been following Suikoden Revival Movement and I have some friends who organize annual Suikoden conventions. And a site called Suikosource which I believe I first visited around 2002, is still up and running today. http://www.suikosource.com/

Wow, looks like the Suikoden Revival Movement has basically achieved their goal.  Considering it has over 32k followers, I wouldn't be surprised if this game gets around 32k backers by the time it closes.
