This Throwback Thursday is about my three favorite video game series! Suikoden, Chrono and Kya Dark Lineage. News about the Suikoden games have reminded me of all the good times I have had with each series separately, my favorite of each though is Suikoden II, Chrono Cross and Kya Dark Lineage (The latter has no sequel). All three series have had a tremendous impact on my life in some way, and they are all amazing games!
The name of this blog post's title is for the future of these game series, although Kya and Chrono are currently dead, the Suikoden series has had some commotion recently. Dedicated fans such as myself made a commotion to the company that created the series, Konami. The fans successfully made notice to Konami, and now the second game is coming to the PSN network, which by the way, the physical copy is so rare it goes for over 100 dollars on ebay! Now people who have been dying to play it, but never had the money, will now get the chance to play it!
With all of the fan commotion, hopefully Konami will understand that we would love to see a new game! (As of 2019, this is most likely never going to happen. Konami doesn't care about it's games anymore, but it's slot machines, and casinos. If the company would give the rights to another gaming company, and have the original creators. Then we might be able to see a new game)
Suikoden has not had a true sequel since 2005, there have been two spin offs though. The first spin off, Suikoden Tierkreis, came out in 2009, and was not well received by fans. The second spin off, Suikoden Tsumugareshi, came out in 2012 and was never released in English!
Suikoden II in particular, has to do with the hero, an orphan who is betrayed by his own comrades. The hero must stand up to fight against the empire he was once a part of, traveling across the world, and recruiting allies to help him fight in a war against the Highland Army.

The last Chrono game came out in 2000, one of the creators said if fans want to see a sequel, we must keep buying Chrono Trigger and Cross.
Chrono Cross is about a boy named Serge, he lived a normal life until one day he goes out to a beach with his friends. Suddenly, he is transported to another dimension where he died when he was 7!
Trying to figure out what is going on, he meets a girl named Kid, who is going after a man named Lynx who knows something about an artifact called the Frozen Flame.
Serge goes on a journey to help Kid find the Frozen Flame, and makes friends along the way, who are also after the Frozen Flame.

Kya Dark Lineage was a sleeper hit by Eden games that came out in 2003, most who played it loved the game. The unfortunate thing is that the company did not advertise it very well, with slogans like "More fun than belly button lint!", it's safe to say Kya did not get a fair chance to shine properly. Not to mention, with all the Action/Adventure/Platformers that were released around the same time. People wouldn't have been able to choose which games to play!
Kya Dark Lineage is about a young woman named Kya, upon discovering a hidden room with her brother Frank, they are simultaneously teleported to another universe! When Kya awakes, Frank is no where to be found, and she is being chased by evil creatures known as Wolfen. She is not the only one being chased, other beings known as Nativs are on the run from them too, and eventually they escape and the Nativs bring Kya to a village known as Nativ City . The Nativs have been terrorized by these Wolf creatures known as Wolfen. Wolfen are actually Nativs who are transformed into Wolfen when captured. The mastermind behind Wolfen, is in fact a man named Brazul. Kya does not know Brazul's intentions, but she plans to help restore the Wolfen to their Nativ form, find Frank, put a stop to Brazul and find a way home.
