Dammit! Well, it looks like I'll be importing it then. That being said, I'm still thinking that with the designers trying to take Suikoden to much bigger heights then if Suikoden V/Rhapsodia are v. popular - which they look to be - then these could very easily be released later on. _________________

:evil: They must be kidding... I hoped that I will buy PSP only for these S1&2 and now what?
But in those bad news there is one good: Suikoden V probably would be relased in Europe too(It says so in this table)..Yay _________________

Well like I said, there's always a small chance that Konami could release the PSP versions in the US at a later date if Suikoden V has exceptionally high reviews and feedback. _________________

And Europe...don't forget Europe :wink: But if this is true that PSP games haven't got regional blocade then US will be enough.(for Suikoden1&2) _________________

Yeah, that's what I was going for. Didn't want to push the dream too much. Being released in the US is more than good enough for me if we can import it safely onto the PSP lol _________________

Not surprising but I would not doubt that we could see it brought over. MOst gmes start as japan only until it's decided on top bring it over and localize it. Often the games released here are at least 6 months and often over a year old once we see it.
The game has earned itself a bit of a cult following since the early games (as much as some fans hate it, the third game is really what finally generated some mild interest in the series.) The first two games simply sold so poorly for many reasons including poor artdisplay (1st game) and after the first game bombed they didn't even try to advertise 2 and even released it directly against Final Fantasy 8 in the US. The series is a bit more known by the rpg gaming community now than it was then so it would not be an unexpected risk.
Of course this is still all speculation. Just my take on it. |

Abour Suikoden 1 and 2 not being released over here. It COULD just mean that they have no current plans to do so. It's quite normal to wait for a game's release in Japan before considering bring over here. I emailed konami of america, asking for clarification. As usual, they don't know. But them not knowing is WAY better than it being "Japan Only".
So try to stay optimistic. It's too early to know.
Also, does anyone know who makes the porting decistion in Konami. Konami of Japan or Konami of America? |

I'm not going to give up hope. There's always a chance that the compilation will be brought over.
The game was just announced a few days ago so it's still pretty early.
Don't be afraid to let Konami know how you feel. Preferably in a civil fashion. :) _________________

FUCK YOU KONAMI. It seems Konami doesn't even want Suikoden to be popular here. In Japan they rerelease the previous games every time a new game comes out. Here, they haven't even bothered to rerelease them despite fan feedback, and now this.
Konami needs to take a page from Square's book.
*emails*
Just keep the mail coming. We'll force them release this like when Square wouldn't release FFIV and CT for psx. |

That's the attitude!
I'll even make it easy for ya support@konami.com
While the people who read such email claim to be powerless and most likely are, if they get an overwhelming about of emails they'll surely pass such ino to the higher ups. There's a lot of people here at SARS. Even if it's unlikely we'll change things it only takes a minute. And maybe we'll be that last little push Konami needs to release it over here. |

Ok, I'm going over some reasons why they wouldnt realese it outside Japan
1. Translation
2. Convertion
3. Bad sales
But....
1 Both games are already translated
2 Not needed cause PSP dont have regioncoding
3 What can the cost be to change language and ship it to the US? They dont have to sell many to overcome that. _________________ Shiver My Shuriken!! |

There are no rpgs coming to psp over here. Why NOT bring it over here? It'd give them more attention.
I suggest we help make this possible by taking screen caps of the ebay auctions and mailing them to konami, and other things like that. To show that people are WILLING to buy the games. |

IT might come if all goes well in Japan but this sounds rather bad. _________________ -Harmonian Tensoku star-

hmm I have played both games about 8 times each, all through. I havce also played different part countless times. I should be able to play through both games in Japanese even tough I cant read a word, I have it all in my head every single line spoken (written), I think. Nor buying them is not an option, but I will wait a while before buying the Japanese version. _________________ Shiver My Shuriken!! |
