Yoshitaka Murayama (the creator of Suikoden and Eiyuden Chronicle) has passed away.
rip
Wow, this is pretty sad. His game is coming out in less than a month.
Mandatory thread theme. Rest in peace.
God this sucks
Dude's only 55, he had at least two more games worth of life in him
At least he got to mostly finish his passion project but not getting to see people react to it is such a shitty way to go out
Moral of the story is don't be fat.
And don't get vaxed
Sad, I really love Suikoden. Hope his upcoming game is successful
Frick, that really sucks. Now Suikoden series is 100% dead unless Yoshitaka did what Miura did and told someone how he was planning on ending the series or something. But that's very unlikely so we will never know. I guess at most they can reboot series with someone else.
Not to mention Eiyuuden ended before it even started since it's even more unlikely he told someone his plans for rest of Eyuuden This is a very, very sad day to fans of classic jrpgs.
>rest of Eyuuden
What if, and hear me out here, I know the concept is wild, what if Eiyuden Chronicles is a complete finished experience that doesn't need any "rest" outside of the already finished game?
Hopefully. The game already has a ton of DLC planned though, season pass and all so it's unlikely to be a complete story
Exactly. It's obvious that at the very least he had ideas for one sequel. And since he was you know the creator of suikoden it made sense if he had plans to make at least one game per country in this new world.
All things considered, it's a miracle that while 4 sucked ass 5 was quite good. And nothing was stopping Yoshitaka to return to Konami one day to "continue" the series. Well, before he died. if Suikoden was indeed dead before it's 200% dead now. We will never have the answers that the previous games proposed like what would happen when Pesmerga meet Yuber, what was the deal with the stuff in Harmonica, etc.
RIP
>Now Suikoden series is 100% dead unless Yoshitaka did what Miura did and told someone how he was planning on ending the series
It was always dead. As soon as Murayama was gone, Konami dismantled the Suikoden team. S4 was made by completely different people and it stopped advancing the story, instead doing prequels set in distant lands, and then they began doing completely different settings/universes.
>S4 was made by completely different people
Wrong; Kawano worked on it, she even had to put up her own money to finish the game because Konami tried pulling the plug before it went gold.
It's been dead since S3, even if S4 and S5 were fun there's no future whatsoever, Luc took it with him and the True Wind Rune.
This is genuinely heartbreaking for me; Suikoden was the first RPG I ever played and still one of my favorite games. I always hoped we'd see how the story was to end, but now it ends like this. Rest in peace.
>Died barely a month before his spiritual successor project came out
Goddamn it, this just ain't right.
Good riddance.
Thank you God for starting off 2024 good by killing off this hack.
Off yourself homosexual
why do the most contrarian of homosexuals always the devs rather than the content of their games?

What a thing to wake up to. Rest in peace, Murayama.

RIP, love his work
To old friends
I wish games looked like this. I love these images of very lively pixel art with all the characters interacting but this never happens in any game
I am surprised and angered by the fact that games do not look like this.
this should be pinned
it should
nah
damn that sucks.
There goes my hope of the Suikoden-Series ever being continued.
Tfw I will never know what's the deal with True Runes along with unexplored parts of Suikoden world like Harmonia.
This is depressing. I'm having a panic attack right now.
Oh no, the creator of a generic anime garbage game died. How will anyone ever come up with another generic anime garbage game?? What will the media illiterate fill their worthless days with now??
Okay, Yaroslav.
I picked up Suikoden a few years ago having somehow missed it earlier. It blew me away and revived my interest in games. It still looks great, sounds great, and still plays well. The scope of its story and characterisation makes it really unique among games.

Are you guys hopeful for Eiyuden Chronicles and why?
Not really. I've never played Suikoden so there's nothing really to feel hopeful for, and honestly the whole "over 100 premise" sounds more like a negative than a positive to me. But it's still interesting enough so I might check it out, wish there was a demo or something.
I'm just about to finish Eiyuden Rising in preparation for Chronicles and... dude, I hate this. This is an unbelievably bad game. I hate the setting, the writing, the mechanics. I understand this is a cheaply made game meant to showcase the characters and that the main team had absolutely nothing to do with this game, but this sets such an unbelievably bad precedent. I am genuinely worried Eiyuden Chronicles will suck, but we'll see. Murayama was a very talented person.
Skeptical. First, it looks like yet another rehash of S2 rather than a new story. Second, it looks much more colorful and cutesy, so I'm worried that it's going to be an even lighter story than S2 already was compared to S1. Lastly I'm nopt into the shitty 3D with filters smeared over the image look.
Yes but it's just generic good trailer excitement + nostalgia, I don't have any knowledge of the development
>obese gay
>heh, who cares. good riddance, fat frick
>obese gay, Japan
>NOOOOOO MY LE HECKIN' JAPPERINO!
He made something of value which sets him apart from most obese fricks.
Wait until GRRM kicks the bucket, you'll see something interesting.
dude is immortal as long he doesn't finish asoiaf
