Hobby Japan announced on social media that it will once again sell its six Suikoden 1 and 2 character plush toys. Pre-orders opened in Japan ahead of a September 2025 return. AmiAmi also confirmed that, while limited, it will take pre-orders for each of them. They cost ¥3,300 (~$23) each. 

Each of these Suikoden dolls are about the standard size for these types of stuffed animals. They are 7 inches tall (18cm). Each one is a rendered in a chibi style designed to call to mind one of the leads from the series. They also arrived dressed in the outfits worn in the games, though these can’t be removed. 

Here is the list of characters present, along with links to their AmiAmi pages:  

While Luc does appear in multiple games, this toy is based on his appearance in the second installment.

These are the three Suikoden characters Tir, Gremio, and Ted:

Here are the three Suikoden 2 ones of Riou, Jowy, and Luc:

At the moment, AmiAmi does still ship worldwide, including to those of us in the US. A notice on its main page noted that it stopped offering surface mail () as a shipping option on April 9, 2025, as a result of tariffs inflicted by President Donald Trump. It’s important to keep an eye on storefronts now, due to the current trade war started by the president. As a result, stores such as Funstock and Good Smile Company announced measures like a pause in pre-orders or delayed shipments.

The Suikoden 1 and 2 character plush toys will debut again in Japan in September 2025. The Suikoden 1 and 2 HD Remaster: Gate Rune and Dunan Unification Wars collection is available on the Switch, PS4, Xbox One, and PC worldwide.

Review 3c2f1b Suikoden 1 and 2 HD Remaster Mark a Return of Extraordinary JRPGs https://siliconera.telechargervous.com/review-suikoden-1-and-2-hd-remaster-mark-a-return-of-extraordinary-jrpgs/?utm_source=rss&utm_medium=rss&utm_campaign=review-suikoden-1-and-2-hd-remaster-mark-a-return-of-extraordinary-jrpgs https://siliconera.telechargervous.com/review-suikoden-1-and-2-hd-remaster-mark-a-return-of-extraordinary-jrpgs/#respond <![CDATA[Jenni Lada]]> Wed, 05 Mar 2025 14:00:00 +0000 <![CDATA[Featured]]> <![CDATA[Nintendo Switch]]> <![CDATA[PC]]> <![CDATA[PlayStation 4]]> <![CDATA[Xbox One]]> <![CDATA[Europe]]> <![CDATA[Japan]]> <![CDATA[Konami]]> <![CDATA[North America]]> <![CDATA[Reviews]]> <![CDATA[Suikoden]]> <![CDATA[Suikoden I and II HD Remaster]]> <![CDATA[Suikoden II]]> https://siliconera.telechargervous.com/?p=1081282 <![CDATA[

Suikoden 1 and 2 HD Remaster might not have earth-shattering additions, but the graphical updates and quality of life adjustments make it a joy to return to these fantastic JRPGs games.

The Suikoden series went from a collection of games that fans of JRPGs revered to ones that ended up being acknowledged for their unique nature and often excellence by everyone. Unfortunately, it’s also been far too long since Konami acknowledge the IP with a new entry or revival or an old one. 2025 marks the return of the first two installments with Suikoden 1 and 2 HD Remaster: Gate Rune and Dunan Unification Wars. While they might not be the biggest or most impressive remasters out there, they do a great job of restoring two deserving titles. 

In a way, it’s quite fitting that both of these JRPGs are in this Suikoden 1 and 2 HD Remaster, as these two games are so closely linked. So much so that the hero of the first and many of the ing cast returns for the sequel. All of the mainline games fit into the same timeline, and the second game takes place three years after the first. So we can see the effect of political events and decisions.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VIL88ZqQurQ

Suikoden follows Tir McDohl, a young man who is the son of Scarlet Moon Empire general Teo McDohl. The game begins with him being introduced to Emperor Barbarossa Rugner and ing his service as his father departs on a mission. However, on his very first mission, Tir gets a glimpse at the despicable behavior of the empire and finds himself inheriting the one of the 27 True Runes. This makes him a target for the army and a fugitive. As he escapes, he falls in with the Liberation Army. This leads to him ing and building it up by recruiting the 108 Stars of Destiny.

Similarly, Suikoden 2 follows Riou. He and his friend Jowy are a part of the Highland Kingdom’s Unicorn Youth Brigade. A possible peace is broken when Highland’s Prince Luca Blight works with the group’s commander to slaughter all to push a war with the City-States of Jowston. Riou and Jowy are able to escape. Both also find themselves caught up in a growing war, with Riou going on to lead and recruit for a rebel force hoping to bring peace to the region while stopping Blight. 

Each of these games tends to follow a sort of pattern. At their hearts, both games in the Suikoden 1 and 2 HD Remaster collection are traditional, turn-based RPGs. Once you get to the point at which you become leader of an army and acquire a castle, you’ll be able to head out into the world to recruit people. These folks may have certain conditions you have to meet to get them to . In some cases, they might automatically as the story continues or not be ready to be part until either you hit a certain plot point or your castle expands after hitting a certain milestone. At other times, you may need to follow certain steps or achieve certain goals. I feel there will always come a point at which you sort of recognize that you’ve done everything you can do for the moment and need to return to the story, at which point you can get more people on your side.

Battles are fairly typical, turn-based affairs. You have a party of up to six, with three folks in front and three in back. (There are some anomaly characters that will take up two spots.) Weapons dictate proper placement, as they have certain ranges like short, medium, or long, and short-range ones must be in the front row. Magic is tied to Runes, with Rune shards being able to be tied to weapons and Orbs being set to people. As you use characters and perform magic different tiers of Rune abilities open up. There are also occasionally more strategic affairs, though those are infrequent and pop up at specific spots in the story. 

I will say that while there are some elements you’d expect in a HD remaster, there are some features oddly absent or that aren’t exactly as helpful as you’d expect in these Suikoden games. There are three difficulty options to select at the start, which is handy! You can also dash right away, and that is incredibly helpful. When you enter battles, you can tap a button to increase the speed of the fight or turn autobattle on and off without going through the menu. It also naturally looks quite crisp and nice, what with being in HD, and the new character portraits are beautiful without feeling out of place. The conversation log is one of my favorite new additions, as I absolutely get caught up in the recruiting efforts. This means if you did a lot of backtracking, you might forget where you were supposed to meet up next. What do I do? I check the log and see where someone told me to go. I’m set. 

However, there are areas in which I feel like Konami could have done more. There’s an autosave now, but it is incredibly infrequent. For example, it doesn’t kick in when you enter a town/dungeon, which would have been smart! Instead, it will happen at odd or notable times. For those aware of the series, it isn’t helpful for the Castle of Toran autosave to happen on the screen right when you enter the room where the save point before the boss is! An adjustment to modernize the save system and not tie it to inns would have been welcome as well. So would some controller rebinding options. It’s great we can dash right away! I do wish there’d been a toggle option for that in the options, so you don’t have to constantly hold the button down. 

But the main goals here are that Suikoden 1 and 2 are back again, and this HD Remaster release revives both games in a comfortable way. It makes sure they look pretty and run well. I was especially shocked at how good both games looked, as the spritework really stands out without it feeling like some SNES games where you can see how the CRT effect benefited its appearance. I especially loved moments when there would be layered elements, like fog in a dungeon or clouds in a sky, because it’s executed so well. The new character portraits, which I mentioned earlier, are also quite a boon. It helps add more personality to these ing cast who could sometimes be quite personable even if they aren’t major players.

Suikoden 1 and 2 HD Remaster might not have earth-shattering additions, but the graphical updates and quality of life adjustments that are here make it a joy to return to these fantastic JRPGs. Both games are a delight to play on the Switch. There’s a charm here that I longed for when I played Eiyuden Chronicle: Hundred Heroes, and I’m delighted to think how much joy they’ll bring others. These are fantastic games, and I hope for further preservation efforts for other entries from Konami.

Suikoden 1 and 2 HD Remaster: Gate Rune and Dunan Unification Wars will come to the PS4, Xbox One, Nintendo Switch, and PC via Steam on March 6, 2025. The original games appeared on the PlayStation worldwide. They also appeared together in a collection on the PSP in Japan.

Suikoden: The Anime Is an Adaptation of Suikoden 2

Konami announced that Suikoden 2 will receive an anime adaptation under the title of Suikoden: The Anime. The company has yet to reveal a release window and production on the series just started, so this anime adaptation might be a ways off.

Yuzo Sato will be the director while Ryo Hino, from NBCUniversal Entertainment Japan, will act as producer. Konami Animation will work on the adaptation and it will be the first time the studio works on a TV anime series. Sato has previously worked as director on Hunter x Hunter: Phantom Rouge and Exception. Additionally, the Rune of Beginning is being used as the logo for the anime adaptation, similar to how it is the logo for Suikoden 2 in the HD remaster collection.

The Suikoden 2 anime adaptation was revealed with a brief teaser trailer that simply shows Japanese text over a night starry sky with a full moon followed by images of a waterfall and a mysterious stone marked with an X hidden within a forest. The text itself translates to “With that strength, I thought I could protect everyone.”

The exact moment of the reveal is at the 17:22 minute mark on the stream, and you can check it out here:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=J1EFAQY3czo&t=1042s

The announcement appeared during the Suikoden Special Program livestreamed by Konami, and was described as the “second step” in a comeback for the game series. Director Yuzo Sato and Producer Ryo Hino appeared during the livestream to give some details about their work on the anime. The livestream features English subtitles via YouTube’s closed captions.

Suikoden: The Anime is currently in production by Konami Animation. There is no release window set and more information will appear in the future.

Suikoden Acoustic Live Concert

Konami announced at the Suikoden I & II HD Remaster talk show in TGS 2024 that it will work with Music Engine to hold a new Suikoden acoustic live concert. The concert will take place in Tokyo on December 14, 2024.

Konami had previously held a Suikoden-themed orchestra concert in 2022, and it has also opened pre-orders for Blu-rays based on that concert. While the previous concert featured tracks from all five mainline Suikoden entries, this acoustic live concert will focus on the first two titles. This is because Konami will hold the concert ahead of the release of Suikoden I & II HD Remaster for the PS4, Switch, Xbox One, and PC on March 6, 2025.

Here are the first six tracks confirmed in the setlist for this concert:

  • "Withered Earth" (Tinto Town in Suikoden II)
  • "Tropical Bath ~ FURO-MIX" (One of the bath themes in Suikoden I)
  • "An Old Irish Song" (The Dragon Knights' Fortress in Suikoden I)
  • "Forgotten Days" (Village of the Hidden Rune in Suikoden I)

Suikoden Acoustic Live Concert

Konami announced at the Suikoden I & II HD Remaster talk show in TGS 2024 that it will work with Music Engine to hold a new Suikoden acoustic live concert. The concert will take place in Tokyo on December 14, 2024.

Konami had previously held a Suikoden-themed orchestra concert in 2022, and it has also opened pre-orders for Blu-rays based on that concert. While the previous concert featured tracks from all five mainline Suikoden entries, this acoustic live concert will focus on the first two titles. This is because Konami will hold the concert ahead of the release of Suikoden I & II HD Remaster for the PS4, Switch, Xbox One, and PC on March 6, 2025.

Here are the first six tracks confirmed in the setlist for this concert:

  • "Withered Earth" (Tinto Town in Suikoden II)
  • "Tropical Bath ~ FURO-MIX" (One of the bath themes in Suikoden I)
  • "An Old Irish Song" (The Dragon Knights' Fortress in Suikoden I)
  • "Forgotten Days" (Village of the Hidden Rune in Suikoden I)
  • "Theme of a Moonlit Night" (Appeared in both Suikoden I and II)
  • "Orizzonte" (One of Annallee Band's songs in Suikoden II)

The Suikoden TGS 2024 talk show also revealed more details about the remaster compilation. Konami announced that a 2x battle speed option will be available from the beginning, but players can also 4x speed after some conditions have been met.

Konami Shows Off Suikoden 1 and 2 Tokyo Game Show 2024 Booth

Konami offered a closer look at its Suikoden 1 and 2 HD Remaster booth at Tokyo Game Show 2024, showing the art and special features people who attend can see. Some of the displays include official art from the game, as well as gameplay footage from the rereleases. 

The English social media featured three photos of the Suikoden 1 and 2 HD TGS 2024 booth. Two of them offered peeks at the installation from the outside. There’s a screen on the front constantly showing footage from the game. Below it are two images. We can also see some of the displays instead. The third photo showed off a photo spot with the two heroes from the games, Tir McDohl and Riou

https://twitter.com/Suikoden/status/1839372992767492463

The Japanese for the game showed photos that are a bit more detailed. For example, it noted the standees of Tir and Riou are designed to be life-size. So both of them are over five feet tall, with Tir being slightly taller. He’s 5 ft, 4in, while Riou is a centimeter shorter. 

https://twitter.com/GensoSuikoden/status/1839485111193977338

It also offered a closer look at the art display inside the booth. That featured closer looks at the individual character portraits hung on the wall, the general art, and the merchandise shown in the display cases.

https://twitter.com/GensoSuikoden/status/1839470008071795182

Suikoden 1 and 2 HD Remaster: Gate Rune and Dunan Unification Wars will come to the PS4, Xbox One, PC, and Nintendo Switch on March 6, 2025. The original games appeared on the PlayStation worldwide. They also appeared together in a collection on the PSP in Japan.

Suikoden I mat featuring all characters

Animate has announced that it will release new playing mats featuring all characters from the first two Suikoden entries. These mats will be exclusively available by ordering the PS5 or Switch physical limited bundle editions of Suikoden I&II HD Remaster: Gate Rune and Dunan Unification Wars at Animate outlets across Japan.

These exclusive mats will feature all characters from each of the two titles included in the Suikoden remaster compilation. They will not only feature the 108 Stars of Destiny, as Animate will also include villains and other key story characters on the top left corner, such as Emperor Barbarossa from the first Suikoden and Luca Blight from Suikoden II.

Here is the sample image showing the all-character mats from both Suikoden I and II:

People interested in getting these mats must opt for the limited set that costs 14,300 yen (~$99.25). Animate will also sell regular physical copies of the remaster compilation for PS5 and Switch at 5,500 yen (~$38.20), but it will only hand out a small microfiber cloth with the key art from both games as the only bonus item.

Outlet-exclusive bonuses have been a common occurrence for Japanese game retailers. In late August 2024, Famitsu revealed multiple DX packs of Suikoden I&II HD Remaster which are available to pre-order exclusively on the ebten web store. People can choose whether to get acrylic stands featuring portraits of the 108 Stars of Destiny from either game or a set of merchandise inspired by Luca Blight.

Suikoden I&II HD Remaster: Gate Rune and Dunan Unification Wars will be available for PlayStation 5, PlayStation 4, Nintendo Switch, Xbox Series X|S, Xbox One, and PCs worldwide on March 6, 2025.

There Are 3 Suikoden I & II HD Remasters Pre-order Bonuses

Konami announced three pre-order bonuses for those who grab a digital copy of Suikoden I & II HD Remaster on social media. Two of them are early unlocks for pieces of equipment you’d normally get access to later in the game, while the other offers a head start with a substantial amount of in-game money.

Calling dibs on a digital copy gets you 57,300 potch as the first Suikoden I & II HD Remaster bonus. This is the money you’d use to buy Runes, equipment, or other items in games. This would normally be acquired at a standard pace while going through fights and the adventure. 

The two pieces of equipment given as Suikoden I & II HD Remaster pre-order bonuses are the Fortune Orb and Prosperity Orb. Each one can be equipped on a character. The person who holds the Fortune Orb will get twice as much experience from every fight they participate in. Meanwhile, if the one with the Fortune Orb equipped is in a battle, you get twice as much potch currency from the fight.

Suikoden I & II HD Remaster: Gate Rune and Dunan Unification Wars will come to the Nintendo Switch, PS4, PS5, Xbox One, Xbox Series X, and PC on March 6, 2024.

Watch Suikoden I & II HD Remaster’s Family Attack and Double Monster Attack

Konami offered a chance to see even more Suikoden I & II HD Remaster Unite Attacks, and this time the Family Attack and Double Monster Attack appeared. Both are special abilities present in Suikoden II. However, the original Suikoden does have its own variant of Family Attack with Eileen, Lepant, and Sheena.

First, here’s the Suikoden II Family Attack Unite Attack that won the vote. It pairs up Riou, the protagonist, with his sister Nanami for an attack. While it begins with the two attacking the same enemy, Nanami takes a break to enjoy some tea and read a book in the middle. (Warning: there is quite a bit of flashing on-screen in the video clip.)

As for the runner up, it was the Suikoden II Double Monster Attack. It features Siegfried the Unicorn and Feather the Griffon teaming up to attack one enemy.

The third option in this poll was Warrior Attack. However, it didn’t specify if it would be the one from Suikoden or Suikoden II. The Unite Attack was present in both. In both games, both Hix and Tengaar must be in the party for it to be an option.

Konami frequently shares Unite Attack clips on Twitter after polls. For example, it recently showed off the Blue Gate Rune and 5 Squirrel Attack.

Suikoden I & II HD Remaster Gate Rune and Dunan Unification Wars will release on the Nintendo Switch, PS4, Xbox One, PC via Steam in 2023.
