Earlier today, Konami revealed that the first two games in the Suikoden series are getting remasters, and it seems this is just the beginning.
Speaking with IGN, producer Yasuo Daikai said:
“I can’t say anything specific right now but we didn’t really want to have an end with just the remaster. So yes, I would really like to keep making more Suikoden games in the future. So we hope all of our fans will root for us and support us, and we hope that we can deliver on those promises and you guys can enjoy them.”
Daikai also noted that Konami is reworking the translation for the Suikoden remasters explaining that back in the day, “the size of the dialogue box was quite small and there wasn’t a lot that we could fit in there. Japanese is a language that can say a lot in a very short amount of space, but for English and other languages, you need a lot of space to say the same thing usually. So in this game we have expanded the size of those dialogue boxes, and that has let us retool and work on the localization to get us more in tune with the Japanese script.”
This is very good news for fans
