Thanks to our friends at duefiumi, we've learned that Suikoden Tierkreis will be released for the Nintendo DS. The game is 50% complete and the Japanese gaming magazine Famitsu has early screenshots of the game. Please visit duefiumi.com for more information!

Official Suikoden Tierkreis website (Japanese): www.konami.jp/gs/game/genso/tierkreis/index.html

Thanks to our friends at duefiumi.com (link to article), we found that Konami has applied to have "Suikoden Tierkreis" trademarked. You can find the actual listing at the United States Patent and Trademark Office website and search for Suikoden/Tierkreis.

Thanks to kotaku.com, we found that Suikoden I has been listed to come out for PSP/PS3 (likely on the PlayStation Store) at the Entertainment Software Rating Board.

Pyriel provided the Item Digit codes for use with Gameshark (or similar cheat devices) long ago, and I've converted it into a guide. Enjoy!

I've updated the Runes, Affinities, and Secrets sections with old and recent discoveries, as well as corrected information. Updates include more accurate/comprehensive information about the "Kindness Factor", Unite Magic, Blue Gate Rune, and snapshots of items that are not available in normal gameplay.

Chris_Lightfellow has massively updated the Suikoden IV Equipment Sets Guide with the list of each material required for each set component, and also with how to get each material.

SnowKing has also provided Goodwill Partners and Support Characters / Skills lists.

And, do you want to keep up with the main page news without having to go all the way to the main page? Just go to this RSS feed page, which you can subscribe to with Firefox or any RSS feed aggregator. This way you'll hear first of any updates.

We have two new guide writers to welcome: WaterMoon and Chris_Lightfellow. Both have been working on Suikoden 4 content, among other things.

WaterMoon has already written a Suikoden 4 Walkthrough, and Chris is working on some items as well.

Today marks the sixth birthday for suikosoource.com. Incredible isn't it? A site dedicated to a single game lasting for six years---it's a feat to say the least. Of course, we're sailing into an uncertain future; there has been no announcement for a sequel so far, and its been well over a year after the game has been released in Japan. All we can do is wait and hope that the yet unnamed "RPG game" being developed by Konami for the Wii is a Suikoden sequel. We're all hoping!

You'll notice now that the Character List now has some gameplay information attached to each character. So far its just recruit information and weapon growth, but next will be other things common to all games (stat growth, rune slots, equipment options), then more specific stuff (skills maybe).

Suikoden VI - Also, for anybody wondering about the next installment of Suikoden, it hasn't been formally announced yet. So far, its only been hinted at in interviews. The platform is not even known yet. As soon as we find out an announcement, we'll post it here, but you're likely to hear first in the Future Suikoden Speculation forum.

We'll be migrating the forum to another database, and I plan to do the migration this Monday morning.
When the change is done, it won't affect anything for users, except the ~30 minutes downtime (if everything goes as planned).

The Timeline and Geography Guide have been redone. Aesthetically, they aren't that much different than before, but they are further cross-referenced with eachother and the Character List now. Also, many entries were added that were missing.

You will likely see a lot of cross-referencing bugs. Don't bother reporting them yet, as we're aware of the problems and are working on ways to fix them.

The Suikoden V Recruitment Guide is up. Thanks to the many people who helped out with this.

After a few years (!) of procrastination on my part, you can now peruse all of the Resident Artists' past works (at least those I could find) at the new Gallery. Right now there's two hundred entries in there, and sure to grow. Also, welcome to The Traitor McDohl, our newest fanartist!

The Stars List has been redesigned by Reo, with some additions as well.

I extracted four Memorable Scenes from the GS V disc, and are available as BitTorrents.

If you click on the Character List now, you'll be treated to the new format of the character list.

The style is completely different, and the information is almost completely updated. All Suikoden V characters are now contained in the list, and most Suikoden Tactics (and the remaining missing Suikoden IV) characters as well. The list now amounts to ~750 characters in total.

Thanks to ViktorFan for much of the data entry (more than half the list). Reo also scripted a good portion of the system - this wouldn't have been possible without them.

Of course, there are bound to be discrepancies. I know there will be some missing characters, missing images, misreferenced links, and outdated information. I've gone through to try and eliminate the major sources of this, but some will surely remain. Any mistakes you see, please report them to the Bug Reports thread in the Website Forum. This will help me fix the system as fast as possible.

And lastly, look forward to similar improvements in other aspects of the site in the near future.
