Hey first post here ever!
Anyways, I'm a longtime lurker of the various Suikoden forums and Konami site and I noticed that there was an update to the Suikoden site a few days ago.
http://www.konami.jp/products/dx_gensou ... index.html
From what I can tell, there's going to be new artwork but that's the extent of what I could figure out (Yay for pictures!). Can anyone explain to me what this will actually be? Is my excitement over nothing or can I jump for joy at new Suikoden news? Any information will enthused over no matter what. |

From some translation tools, it seems like this is going to be a new web browser game optimized for phones, which is a big market in Japan. It also looks like Ishikawa is providing the artwork.
EDIT: On further inspection, I don't even think this is a proper game, more of a social networking thing where you get some of those digital cards and trade with your friends. It looks like these 'cards' are to be used as wallpapers. _________________

And you'll even get to pay 315 yen (about 4 dollars) / month if you want to get three random cards every day!
Seems like another Konami money-making scheme devoid of any soul. |

Well...whatever it is...it sounds like something that will at least add something new to the series even if it's just new artwork. New something is better than new nothing. |

Well, at least we know they still think that the franchise still has some kind of moneymaking potential.
Even if this feels rather underhanded for the series standard. Paying for intangible digital contents, pfft. |
