A terrible loss for the industry, especially after getting a new startup off the ground. Beloved by the Suikoden community. His new game was only a couple months away.

By all accounts, a good guy, too.

My friend is a big fan of the series so I messaged him about it…but I foolishly assumed Suikoden would be in my phone dictionary and I accidently sent “The creator of suicide just died”

Rest in peace, I wish he could’ve seen his fans reaction to Eiyuden.

I’m a big fan of the first 3 Suikodens and am looking forward to Eiyuden as well as the I & II remaster. II was revolutionary in being a JRPG sequel that was set in the same world with some of the same characters as the previous game rather than being an entirely new universe or 1000 years later or something. Thanks for the good times, Murayama-san.

Dam I backed the new game and very excited for the upcoming release… this is terrible news…
