Un giorno il dolore finira

Maybe you've already heard - or maybe you don't know because, like, no one is telling you - but, in an interview (Japanese only, alas) about the upcoming Frontier Gate, Konami revealed that the Suikoden team has been disbanded for a few years now. Of course, that doesn't absolutely mean there will never be another Suikoden game, but it sure sounds to me like Konami has decided that The Series Has Become Unprofitable, and in any event we should not be holding our breath for a Suikoden VI announcement.

Obviously this makes me sad. But it doesn't make me sad in quite the way - or to the degree - you might expect on the grounds that it's news about a favorite series being likely over without any opportunity for closure. This comment I left elsewhere sums up my feelings pretty well, I think: ( I sure do ramble on about video games. )
