Hello everyone,
A while back, Enin left me a comment and let me know that he had bought Suikoden 5. As some of you may know, the Suikoden videogame series is one of the best rpg game series out there, for any system. Enin himself has done some pretty awesome Suikoden related artwork, and i highly reccomend you all taking a look, thats for sure :) (you can find them on his portfolio).
Well, when i read that he had bought Suikoden 5, it got me excited about the series again, so i started playing the original Suikoden for PSone, and i also planned on finding my other Suikoden related stuff, so i could take pics and post them up for you all :)
Earlier today i cleaned out my closet and i was able to find My Suikoden 4 Artbook, and my Suikoden 4 and 5 Strategy Guides . I also pulled out my cd collection and took out my 3 Suikoden music cds, so i could take some pics :)
Here are the pics for you guys, i hope you enjoy! :)
Suikoden 4 Artbook
I got this book by luck. I was going into Gamestop to buy Suikoden 4 the day after it had came out , and when i bought it - the guy behind the counter gave me the Artbook for free. The Artbook was originally only for people who had pre-ordered the game, but since they had extras, they were giving them out to people.
This Artbook also had the details in the back about the Suikoden Treasure Hunt. It was a promotional gig that they had started to coincide with the release of Suikoden 4. I went to the KONAMI website and signed up for the contest and the object of the treasure hunt was to look through other Suikoden 4 merchandise and find code words that involved a name with a few numbers with it. I managed to find a couple in the Artbook, i found some in the instruction manual of the game itself, some in the strategy guide, and there were also some on the Konami website.
After you find the code words, you had to enter them on the site, along with your mailing address, because if you found enough of them you would get a prize.
A few months later i recieved a little package in the mail with a load of japanese writing all over it. I opened it up and inside was a Suikoden compilation cd with music from all of the previous games. I was really excited and i always joked with my friend that im a Master Suikoden Treasure Hunter lol! I'll have a pic of the cd i won later in the post :)

Suikoden 4 Strategy Guide
Suikoden 5 Strategy Guide
I was lucky enough to find this strategy guide at Gamestop the day the game was released.
My 3 Suikoden cds
CD Info - Starting from the left-
1. The Music of Suikoden (far left)
This is the cd i won from the Suikoden Treasure Hunt, it is a compilation of music from each Suikoden game up to Suikoden 4 :)
2. Suikoden Tactics: Limited Edition Soundtrack cd (middle)
This music cd comes inside the Suikoden Tactics videogame (Playstation 2). It has some pretty awesome songs on there from the game. I still need to finish the Suikoden Tactics game though lol.
3. Suikoden 5 Limited Edition Music cd )far right)
This music cd came with the Suikoden 5 videogame (Playstation 2), along with a small artbook that was about the size of the instruction manual. This music cd has some really good music on it, as do all of the cds. The Suikoden games have always had great music thats for sure :)
Well, i suppose that will be all for today, Im hoping to put up a song list for each of those cds really soon, so you guys will know the names of the songs in case you may want to search for them :)
I hope you all enjoy :)
stay strong,
Yamcha
