Yeah, it's going to be a lot more common as time goes on.
I was thinking about why this one hit harder for me. Besides what Suikoden means to me, it's also the fact that he never got to tell the full story before leaving Konami. If let's say a beloved composer passes away, I probablty won't get the same sense of unfulfilled ambition or regret from their body of work.
It reminds me a bit of Tetsuya Takahashi and Soraya Saga going from Xenogears (which was Episode 5 in a planned 6 game series), to Xenosaga (which was 3 games in a planned 6 game series) to Xenoblade.
In the new games you can see them bringing back some of their original concepts, but re-telling the stories in a different way. (For example, the character Abel in Xenogears and Xenosaga.)
I imagine we will see more than a few Suikoden nods in Eiyuden, as a way to continue parts of the original story in some capacity. But while the Xeno series got many attempts, this will only ever be one game now. At least from Murayama.
