Yes. We NEED Suikoden 6.

 

We need more Suikoden.  Suikoden is also my favorite JRPG franchise of all time.



Suikoden 4 is the weak link in the series, and I aint yet played Suikoden DS, although I've not heard the best things about the game.

Suikoden 6 should be on the PSP/3DS or Wii. It's not a series that sells huge numbers, and it's not a series that needs the best graphics. I want it, I want it a lot.

What´s up with the camera in Suikoden 3?

Half the time you're running towards it and don't see where you're running to.

I stopped playing it after an hour.



''Hadouken!''

Suikoden 2 is my favorite JRPG of all time, and possibly my favorite game of all time. However, it did not exactly sell well but the series did have steady attention.

Suikoden 3 broke the critic mold by scoring very highly with Gamespot and IGN, getting the best reviews out of any Suikoden game in the series. Looking at VGChartz sales which has no date for US or Europe it does tie Suikoden 2 in Japanese sales, so overall this would be the highest point in the seriers sales and critic wise. However, the gameplay was a lot different then Suikoden 1 and 2 so I  never really got into it.

Suikoden 4 was pretty bad by Suikoden standards but was very much playable.

Suikoden 5 was a return to roots. Obviously was a bit on the easy side (at least for me) but the story was pretty damn good as was the battle system. One thing I did notice is this game sold pretty bad in Japan compared to the other games so maybe this is where it really dawned on Konami that sales were going down hill.

Suikoden DS didn't really have to do much with the main series and I couldn't get into it.

The only thing I could think of is Konami is not happy with the sales otherwise I have no idea why there is not a new one.



It's just that simple.

I've only played the first one and I found it a very good, but not great RPG.

That said, I would love to see a new iteration, possibly on the 3DS




Konami stopped caring about ANY series other than Metal Gear.
