Suikoden V interview with the producer

I think that we're overestimating the creative role of producer. Kawano, though being the producer of SIV, was instrumental in SIV because she was the lead writer and the character designer. I'm not sure what Matsugawa, if anything, will add.
For example: Sakaguchi was the producer of Final Fantasies VI through X, though he had no creative input. He was merely a name that people recognized.

Well whoever it is, they sure do know their Suiko.

I'm still betting that the Queen is Jeane.

Maybe the queen's death is faked? :|

The Jeanes being identical was supposed to be a joke I believe.

"Deepest entry". I wonder what does he mean by that.

It could mean that Suikoden V has a lot of character development that many felt were lacking from Suikoden IV.

Well personally I think the politics in Suikoden III was quite a large portion of the game. Grasslands, Zexen and Harmonia (all enemies) having to work together.

But then, let's not turn this into a game discussion about the politics in Suikoden III and IV.

Matsukawa was the senior producer for Suikoden IV and was also in character of Suikoden II after Murayama left. He's basically a manager of the development team. Kawano works under him, basically.

He has been making some pretty strong comments at TGS, apparently, such as "Suikoden is on par with Final Fantay and Dragon Quest," and "we won't take the easy way out and put a half-assed effort into bringing Suikoden 1 and 2 to the PSP, we will add new things to them."

And the "Deepest entry" leans, "deepest stroyline." He also says that this Suikoden will be the longest in terms of gameplay.
