A bestiary for Suikoden V has been uploaded.
Includes all stats, weaknesses and item drops. Sortable by almost any parameter.
Suikoden II may be heading to the PSN store soon as it has been rated for the Playstation 3 from Sony by the ESRB. This is either a good indication it's coming as a PSOne Classic or a mistake. We at Suikosource are holding our collective thumbs it's the first.
This would only apply to the US Playstation Store at the moment.
The list includes their ID#, translations of card titles, class and the Booster Pack they came in.
A separate list of the promotional cards of Chapter 1 has also been made.

With a the PS4 having just been announced and the last numbered Suikoden game being a PS2 title it seems as if Suikoden is in a bit of a slump. Some of the members of this forum have taken Project Rainfall as inspiration to start their own movement to get Suikoden back on its feet.
The gaming media has taken notice and a few articles have been written on them and the movement:
Destructoid

The composer of Suikoden I and II, Miki Higashino, gave an interview to Square Enix Music Online. In it, she talks about her life and work as a composer, her approach to composition, and experiences working on several different games (including the Suikoden series).
It's a great interview (kudos to Chris Greening). Read it and discuss on the forums!
Just announced today at the Tokyo Game Show 2011! I apologize if the source of the info is not very good, as there has been a flood of posts all over the fan communities. Pesmerga at suikox put together a nicely organized post...
Siliconera.com translates the game’s title as Genso Suikoden: The Woven Web of a Century. duckroll at suikox translate it as Suikoden: Centennial Tapestry.
Based on the information, the game will likely follow the same story mechanics of Tierkreis (hundreds of worlds, Mark of the Stars).
While conducting an interview on 4gamer for their new upcoming RPG Frontier Gate a couple Konami employees stated that they were designing Frontier Gate from scratch as they had previously disbanded their Suikoden team and had therefore lost all their RPG-creation know-how.
Needless to say this is grim news for the Suikoden community. But, it does not mean a new team cannot take over the Suikoden name later. Konami has done this before with other franchises, such as Silent Hill. There is also still the possibility of re-releases of existing content and side projects, such as the Pachislot machine.
You can discuss your feelings further on our forums.
The Suikoden II Stat Growth Guide was completely redone and several errors were fixed in the process:
Suikoden II Stat Growth
In addition to that, new guides were made for Suikoden IV and V:
Suikoden IV Unite Attacks
Suikoden V Armor Sets
Suikoden V Old Books
Suikoden V Oboro's Investigations
I've done a complete list of all war battle and permanent death quotes in Suikoden I. Most of these quotes are not available within normal gameplay, due to the fact that the majority of characters cannot die, so expect some lines you have never seen before!
Suikoden I War Battle & Death Quotes
And another listing made by Raww Le Klueze for Suikoden V: The locations and prices of all available antiques.
Suikoden V Antiques
Konami released video of a new pachislot machine based on Suikoden IV. Lazlo (Razro), Kika, Sigurd, and Hervey are featured in the trailer.

Raww Le Klueze made some new guides, based on the information we had on the forums for Suikoden V:
Suikoden V Initial Equipment
Suikoden V Armor List
Suikoden V Miscellaneous Item List
In 1998, 3 years after the original release, the first Suikoden was ported to the Sega Saturn, though not made by the same team it is considered a sort of Director's Cut version of Suikoden due to the game having some additional items and storylines. This guide, made by Raww Le Klueze, will show you all known and verified differences.

Suikoden II contains lots of text passages you will most likely never see, even after several playthroughs. Raww Le Klueze extracted all the lines spoken by optional characters which you bring along at the Tinto Escape Scene and L'Renouille Castle.
Sony is running an event on the North American Playstation Store commemorating the 15th anniversary of Playstation. As part of this, the original Suikoden is on sale for half price, or $3! If you haven't picked this up yet, do so and let them know that the series can still sell. edit: Suikoden is available on the North American Playstation store, not the EU store. Thanks to Raww Le Klueze for pointing this out. Discuss
Yoshitaka Murayama, the creator of the Suikoden series, has stated on his site that he has received an offer from a company. Its speculated to be Konami, and its hard to argue against the notion that he's definitely implying Konami. I've created a topic on our forums to discuss it. Discuss Source: I first read it at NeoGAF, though you can read his actual post in Japanese on his site: Blue Moon Studio
