  • This is the upscaled opening for Suikoden III / Suikoden 3, and it's done so in 4K. If some shots appear smudgy or blurry, they are either drawn so to begin with or are mixed with some 3D force the denoiser to smooth them out more than necessary. The final render has been manually sharpened for each individual scene in the clips.

      You’re right though… the whole series feels like watching a beloved anime, with so much love and effort put into them.

    Came here after I finished ghost of tsushima, and this song keep popping out when the credit rolls, even after like 20-ish years. Suikoden III really is my gateway drug in my elementary days, saving money just to buy that CD, and going to my cousin house just to play this in PS II, we took turns for each character story, trying to find clue for a recruitable character, after I play SIII, I have this craving to play SI,SII took a part time under my uncle's motor shop, bought my console with my dad's help to have PS I and officially jump start my gaming life, those are the good times. Now at my 32, still playing games but the feeling is not the same nowadays.

      I think that the interesting part about this game, most games you name that character as a playable protagonist but in this you name a hero who a legend of the past. If he was alive then he would been a Tenkai star and not Thomas, but that does not mean I don't like Thomas as Tenkai, in fact I like that idea, it show that not every Tenkai characters has to be a protagonist.

    Suikoden III's story could've rivaled Knights of the Old Republic II and Neverwinter Nights 2: Mask of the Betrayer, you have a character who shook the foundation of their worlds because they knew that they live on worlds dictated by whims of fate and wished to oust said powers to bring freedom for people but it demanded a steep price. Shame Murayama didn't manage to finish it, may he rest in peace.
    Also, if you love this kind of music, check the band's discography, Himekami. I recommend Poem of the Gods (Kamigami no Uta) and Prayer of Thousand Years (Sennen no Inori).

    @Goldsac actually, they probably are singing actual words. the only problem is lack of translators who KNOW the language. the group who sang this: Himekami, is a semi-traditional taiko(drum dance) group. they sing in a very, very ancient Japanese language thats become obsolete today. Its very hard to translate, and not many people learn how to, from what I hear. So it might be gibberish, it might be that language. Whos to say?

    Damn. Lol before UA-cam it took me 30 minutes to watch this trailer for tsg on the magic box when the game came out. I got suikoden 2 (the guy at toys r us was telling this game was good) and used copy of suikoden for 20. I really enjoyed playing 3 and having a playable Nash Lajkte.
