Shout out to all Suikoden merch, item collectors! Show yourselves!

Reddit’s comment section is a bit limited for sharing photos, since Reddit doesn't allow photos in the comments, it’s hard to really show off our collections. If anyone is interested in discussing, sharing info, or showing off your Suikoden merch, feel free to DM me for a Discord invite! We already have 3 major collectors with us, including Miyazaki-san u/MsiSiJapan

There are several characters who seem interesting, but they don't appear in the game, they only show up in other adaptations like the novels. For example, Liu Mei, the apprentice of Genshu of Suikoden 2. https://gensopedia.org/w/Liu_Mei

Unfortunately, I don't own the Suikoden Short Stories novel series, and I can't read Japanese.

Is there anyone here who has read the Suikoden novels and knows any other interesting characters? Maybe you could share them here.

The mysterious woman who appeared on the magazine cover in episode one finally makes her first appearance in the story of the Suikoden STAR LEAP manga, episode 4. But it's still unknown what her role in the story is or how she connects to the other characters??

Some of you might already know this, but for those who don’t - there’s a site, https://election.suikoden.info/, that runs an annual Suikoden poll. In 2025 they did a favorite character poll split into two category groups:
Category Group 1 covered Suikoden I, II, Suikogaiden, and Card Stories.
Category Group 2 covered Suikoden III, IV, V, Tactics, Tierkreis, and Web Woven.

From the poll results, I didn’t expect that Japanese fans really love the Hero of Suikoden IV.
