[Deerock71]

RIP, dude. Side note: I hope all scenarios were finished for Eiyuden Chronicles. It'll be his swan song.

 

[Seyken]

No fucking way. Did Konami poison the guy out of spite?

Jesus Christ, this one hurts. RIP.

 

[Thick Thighs Save Lives]

Terrible news. May he rest in peace.

 

[Varteras]

 

[Go_Ly_Dow]

Awful he was just 55. Rest in peace.

 

[Little Chicken]

Sad. RIP King

 

[Labadal]

R.I.P.

He delivered some great stuff.

Not even that old.

 

[Mr Hyde]

Incredibly sad news. Suikoden 1 & 2 is one of my all time favorite games and a huge part of my adolescent years. And when Eiyuden Chronicles was announced I was in 7th heaven. A spiritual successor to Suikoden was something I never thought would happen. Rest in peace Yoshitaka Murayama and thank you for all the great memories. You'll be missed.

 

[Miyazaki’s Slave]

Best wishes to his family going forward. I don’t know the structure for the new company but I hope his family is able to benefit from his work on EC.

 

[Werewolf Jones]

Suikoden II and Xenogears are the best two PS1 RPGs.

As a Koudelka and BoF IV enjoyed I kneel.

May you rest eternally, you made some amazing games.

 

[Yoshichan]

RIP… awful….

 

[NeoLed]

WTF

Rest in Peace Murayama-san

 

[Fake]

Peace bro.

 

[near]

This is incredibly sad news. RIP

 

[Revolutionary]

Sad news to wake up to. RIP

 

[saintjules]

The mastermind behind Suikoden.

I was 14 when I played the first Suikoden (1997). I wasn't able to afford a memory card back then so ever yimr I died in battle I would start the whole thing over. Furthest I got was Anji's hideout without it. Finally got a memory card a few weeks later.

I never felt so much excitement when playing such a title. And then came the ending which made me emotional, the first game to ever give me that feeling. It's why it's one of my favorites ever made.

RIP.

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO. WTF! Are you kidding me!? This guy was one of the best scenario writers ever. I helped translate so many of his interviews getting to know his thought process along the way.
He never got to see his project through. And right before it launched too. What a travesty. I am deeply disturbed by this. Rest in peace. We lost a good one.

Very sad. I loved what he did with Suikoden. At times I often considered that my favorite RPG series above Final Fantasy growing up.

[Beer Baelly]

RIP

R.I.P.

 

[Kacho]

Awww. That’s awful. RIP

 

[Svejk]

Damn... Too young. Rest in Peace

 

[Paltheos]

Oof. I guess this really is the end for Suikoden, huh?

 

[SlimeGooGoo]

Thanks for the memories. Suikoden was one of the best JRPG franchises ever created.
Modern JRPG developers could learn a lot from his work.

Rest in peace

 

[saintjules]

Oof. I guess this really is the end for Suikoden, huh?

Without the creator, it looks pretty grim.

 

[ramuh]

Damn this really tore me up. Such amazing talent and vision.

 

[{insert code here}]

RIP. Will get the remastered Suikoden I & II and play through them to honor his memory.

 

[Pallas]

Damn. We lost one of the best writers/story-tellers, I’m hoping he had a protege of some sorts because these are pretty impossible shoes to fill. Suikoden will always be my favorite series.

 

[Sleepwalker]

RIP.

 

[Jinzo Prime]

Konami is supposed to be releasing a Suikoden I and II remaster, but it has been at least a year since we heard anything. I hope they get off their asses and get it made, and also include an appropriate tribute for this man.

I also hope Eiyuden Chronicle Hundred Heroes does very well.

 

[saintjules]

My Brother's friend did this a few weeks ago.

 

[Icymanipulator]

That sucks. RIP.
Suikoden 2 was a favorite of mine growing up.

 

[saintjules]

 

[bender]

So young. Rest in peace.
