Never played the originals so a collection would be nice 
A collection would be great but they'll probably piecemeal out each title, like Suikoden 1 HD-Remake in early 2023, Suidoken 2 HD-Remake in 2024 (but delayed to 2025), and the rest of the series never because the first two remakes won't sell enough.
The later titles suffer from typical ass-ugly PS2 3D graphics, but otherwise they're solid games, especially Suikoden 5 and Suikoden Tactics.

A HD remaster of Suikoden 1
Now all Konami need to do is announce a remaster of 2 and also announce that they are coming to the West.
Let me get that gif again...
There's an English trailer on the Steam page.
A very basic remaster from the looks of it but it's better than nothing.

Oooh I've only ever heard good things about these games but never played them when I was younger. Not sure I will find the time but it's very tempting.
I have the originals so I'm good, what could push me over here is including translated versions of the two Gaiden releases (visual novels, not RPGs) that were Japan exclusive. Unlikely for this to happen though.
Indeed these games are very good and have their own unique flair that is hard to compare to other games. Part 1 is around 12 hours or so (not going for full completion, very hard to do so without a guide anyway), so it's not a huge time commitment compared to other games.
It would be cool to replay these. Suikoden 2 is one of my favorite JRPGs of all time.
Hope they include both games so that players can xfer their save from the first game to the second. I remember that having some minor effect on 2.
I'm grateful the graphics weren't passed through the typical mobile-phone filter

Man what a time to be alive, my favorite JRPG series getting the remaster treatment. Really feels like the second golden age of JRPG's is among us.

Great games that cost way to much to buy on PS1 now. I'm glad a lot of these older RPGs are getting rereleases now.
Fucking LOVE both the first and second games. Will buy these remasters in a heartbeat.

Now just give me a FF Tactics remaster

Not a huge fan of how they did the backgrounds, but there are certainly worse HD remasters of old 2D games out there. At least this will now finally be available on modern platforms.
I think I'll stick with my PSP versions on Vita for now.

Massive fan of Suikoden and Suikoden II so I'll definitely be purchasing this. I wonder what brought on this remaster from Konami?
Testing the waters for a revival? Quick cash grab? Fan employees who really wanted to re-release it? Did they look at the popular attention that Eiyuden Chronicle seems to be getting and decided they would test the waters again? Hard to say but I'm damn happy this is being released.

Suikoden 5 next please. I think it's as good as suikoden 2 minus the ugly 3D graphics.

Only Suikoden I played was the original and it was unique in a way RPG's still haven't really done.
The amount of characters you can collect/use is just nuts but ultimately what happens as you get deep in the game you will have a few OP favorites and it's either grind forever or use your OP characters.
I don't see myself replaying Suikoden though, might give 2 or other sequels a try which I never played.

Man, I really wish they hadn't hopped on the 3D bandwagon with the series.

I've always wanted to play this. Don't know why I didn't.

It's really good, but it starts out pretty slow. About 5-10 hours in it takes off and never lets up. Best in the series next to 2 imo.

2 is one of my favorite Jrpgs of all time. I definitely have to give 5 a shot. Hoping for a remaster one day

The one caveat is you have to play with a guide. There's tons of missable shit with pretty ridiculous requirements. It's the games biggest flaw.

So just like 2 lol. My 2 guide is still in minty condition

Take this with a grain of salt but Youtuber Davidvinc just released a video going over all of the JRPGs being released in March and states Suikoden 1&2 Remaster will be released on March 9th.
I don't think I've seen an official annoucement yet.

It got rated in Taiwan in April, so it might not be that far away.
