Genso Suikoden is the best game franchise of all time. That’s why it’s such a shame that they keep teasing us with spin-offs instead of continuing the main series. Still, I’m a sucker for anything Genso Suikoden, making me incredibly excited about the upcoming PSP title, The Woven Web of a Century. We’re naturally interested in the game’s soundtrack, which will be sold separately as well as included with several limited edition version of the game, and it’s already been revealed that it will feature a theme song by Chiaki Ishikawa.
The soundtrack will feature three discs, with one dedicated to a drama performance. If you recall, Tierkreis for the DS sported four discs as well as an additional two in the EXTRA soundtrack release, so it’ll be interesting to see how much music is released for The Woven Web of a Century. Also interesting is the fact that Konami is including a costume of hero McDohl for use in Frontier Gate for those who pre-order that game’s soundtrack… all the Suikoden love could just make me burst right now!
Are you looking forward to Genso Suikoden: The Woven Web of a Century and its soundtrack? Does the Suikoden tie-in for Frontier Gate surprise you?

I own every single Suikoden game that has been released in the States. The only soundtracks that I own are the 1st and 3rd. I’ve enjoyed every Suikoden game, even IV that most people hated. My favorites are the first two because they serve as one game. III is simply amazing and the soundtrack is great. I’m pre-ordering the new Suikoden as soon as it’s available. I wish they would return to the main series and even though this may not happen, one would only think.
Has a release date for the soundtrack been announced yet?
I thought that Chiaki Ishikawa’s singing at Animelo Summer Live 2011 was amazingly beautiful, so I’m interested in what she sings for this game.
