Anyone else hoping for a Suikoden (or something equivalent) VI? Either way, I expect great things from him.
Yay someone thinking what I'm thinking.
The saddest thing is that a few months back a report emerged that they'd been working on Suikoden VI but shelved it due to their business shifting focus
That's news to me. Do you recall where you heard that?
It was a few months ago. It wasn't an article in itself, it was mentioned in an article on what was going on at Konami. Could have been any of the usual gaming news outlets.
EDIT.
I found something on it.
"Production on new games in series such as LovePlus, Tokimeki Memorial, and Suikoden has reportedly halted. LovePlus and Tokimeki Memorial producer Akari Uchida resigned in March."

The article I read at the time specifically said early work on a new Suikoden had been shelved.
Thanks for finding that for us.
