Last month the team behind Suikoden, the beloved series of strategy RPGs on the Playstation, launched a crowdfunding campaign to fund a spiritual successor named Eiyuden Chronicle. It’s been a while since Suikoden 2 and you might wonder if there’s still demand for a sequel, even an unofficial one. Boy, is there ever…
There was once a series of strategy RPGs on the Playstation called Suikoden. They were underappreciated in their day, but had a passionate cult fanbase. Years later, the fanbase grew to a much larger size….when it was too late to reprint Suikoden 1 and 2. The value of these games (especially Suikoden 2) shot through the roof and physical copies remain unaffordable to this day, even after the second one was republished digitally on PS3 and Vita.
