Encyclopedia images!


Now I have time, I will post some images from this encyclopedia. I will post all inedit pics in the beggining, a few random pages in the middle like sample and the merchandising guide in the end. I dont hace a scan here so all I can show are pics I took with my cam. Hope you enjoy it!

Ahora que tengo tiempo, subo estas imágenes pertenecientes a la enciclopedia. Se trata de todas las imagenes inéditas que aparecen al principio del libro, un par de páginas intermedias elegidas al azar como muestra y las páginas del final dedicadas al merchandising. No tengo scan así que todas las imágenes están tomadas con mi cámara. ¡Espero que os guste!

Sample:

Merchandising:


Si quieres hacerte con la guía, puedes hacerlo a través de Konamistyle aquí. Por desgracia no mandan fuera de Japón, pero mediadores como Rinkya o Celga lo harán por ti : ) El precio es de 9450 yenes, bastante elevado, pero tiene másde 1000 páginas.

If you want to buy this encyclopedia you can make it from Konamistyle here. Sadly, they dont ship outside Japan but you can use intermediates like Rinkya or celga : ) Price is 9,450 yens, quite expensive, but it has over 1000 pags!

Suikoden Encyclopedia and some new stuff

Finalmente me ha llegado la enciclopedia de Suikoden : ) Ya hablé de ella con anterioridad, así que sólo comentar que es muy bonita, básicamente como todas las guías de suikoden pero juntas; y como novedad un par de imágenes inéditas y una muy interesante guía de merchandising actualizada al final, lo cual ha sido una grata sorpresa para mi. Incluso he descubierto un par de artículos que no sabía que existieran, tales como una caja crunch chocolate pero de Suikoden III y un strap de suikoden I transparente que no había visto nunca.

Además de eso, me he comprado la ost del rhapsodia (a ver si poco a poco voy completando mi colección de música, aún bastante lamentable...) y una caja con los pins de Suikoden III, la edición roja.
Y para variar un poco, un set de doujinshis y fanfics que estaban muy bien de precio. Los doujins son chulísimos, pero los fics no son la gran cosa si no sabes leer japones : P Hay 10 doujins (arriba) y 10 fics (abajo), algunos de los cuales incorporan algún dibujillo estilo novela gráfica.

Finnally I got my Suikoden Encyclopedia. I've already talk about it before, so I only will say its quite nice, very similar to the other guides but just together in the same book. They have a few inedits pics and a littleupdated merchandise guide at the end, which I didnt know and it surprised me greatly. I even found some items I didnt know likea crunch chocolate suikoden III box and a suikoden I strap which is transparent.

Furthermore, I bought Rhapsodia Ost (Im trying, steo by step, finishing my ost collection which is still quite poor) and I got too a Suikoden III badges box (the red one).

And, I got too a doujinshi and fan fic set which were very cheap. Doujinsis are really cool but fics are a little useless if you can read japanese ;P There are 10 doujinshis (on top) and 10 fics (above them). Some of the fics have a few pics like a graphic novel.
PD. Siento no haber escrito antes, básicamente no hubo novedad ni compré nada nuevo, ni konamistyle ha actualizado nada relacionado con suikoden... si quereis haceros oir siempre podeis comentar en el muro de konami en facebook aquí. Podeis pedir Suikoden VI, Suikoden II para psn o lo que vosotros deseeis. Si quereis estar al tanto de lo que pasa y de nuestros planes para no dejar morir esta saga así como así, os invito al foro de suikosource aquí.

PS. Im sorry I didnt write here before, but I just didnt have anything to post since there was no news, I didnt buy anything more, and konamistyle didnt update anything suikoden related... If you want they will hear you you can always post something of your feelings in Konami's wall on Facebook just here. You can ask for Suikoden VI, Suikoden II for PSN or whatever you want. If you want to take part and knowing whats going on about suikoden, and dont let dying the series like that, you can enter in suikosource forums right here.

Suikoden V Autographed Posters

Hello again!, miss me? haha.

I have a special piece of Suikoden V history to share with you all! Up until last week I had no knowledge that these existed, then I saw an auction for it.
I present to you an official autographed Suikoden V Poster:

Suikoden V Autographed Poster


















3 Autographs














Letter of authenticity














These posters are pretty rare as they were given only to 108 people (what a coincidence no?? :P) They were announced on the official Japanese King Blog before the release of Suikoden V in Japan. It was announced that when the Blog had 1.08 (another coincidence) million viewers, they would have a contest that people could enter for a special prize. The 108 winners were picked randomly, 6 of them received 3 posters all signed by 3 people, and the other 102 would received 1 poster signed by 3 people. Suffice to say these are very rare and even more limited.
The people who autographed them are:
- The Director of Suikoden V: Takahiro Sakiyama
- The Composer and Sound Producer of Suikoden V: Norikazu Miura (He was also the sound director for Suikoden Tactics and Shadows of Destiny)
- and finally the King himself, the King Blog and also the Art Director of Suikoden V: Hideki "King" Tanaka

I'm fairly certain the 3 posters given to the 6 people would be these ones here, although the ones pictured here are not autographed. And these ones without the autographs aren't too rare.








You can read about it in the original post on Kings Blog here:

You can also find an english translation of the post on Suikosource here:

Just scroll down to where it says 2/22 The Promised "Last Night" and you'll see it :)

I can't wait to receive this beautiful item, I hope I can find the other 2 posters I need some day :D.

Suikoden II PC Chinese....Alas!!

Hola a todos!

We're very sorry for the lack of updates but Nan and I have been overly busy as of late, we rarely have time for updating. Especially since there hasn't been much news to tell in the world of Suikoden merchandise. I've managed to buy a few Suikoden things I didn't have in the last couple of months, but nothing that we haven't covered before. However there is one exception :)...I know we've talked about this item once before, but never had any real info for you....until today!

I managed to finally track down a copy of the Chinese version of Suikoden II for the PC!! YAAAY! Behold the beauty in all it's glory :). Unfortunately the auction didn't come in it's original packaging (I still haven't any idea what the original packaging looks like) but it did come with both install discs and the manual. Though, it's really nothing to drool about, the discs are very generic and the manual doesn't have anything we haven't seen before.
This is the first time i've played Suikoden II on the PC so I can't compare it to other PC versions (if there are any?). I can tell you though that everything is in a higher resolution and a little bit more detailed than its playstation counterpart. Simply said, it looks beautiful on the PC. The one thing I was a little dissapointed about was the lack of video and audio options. Why? Because there isn't any :(. The only options you are allowed to adjust are the keyboard and joystick buttons. At least they gave us that though right?

This version is probably right up there near the top on the rarity list for Suikoden merch. I've only ever seen this thing twice, the first time the seller refused to sell it for some reason, and this time I won it. It didn't come cheap either, over $100 :(.
I'll leave you with some pictures of it that I took :)
