is a role-playing video game series originally created by Yoshitaka Murayama. The game series is loosely based on the classical Chinese novel, ''Shui Hu Zhuan'' by Shi Naian. ''Shui Hu Zhuan'' is rendered as 水滸伝 in Japanese, and read phonetically as ''Suikoden''. Each individual game in the series centers on relative themes of politics, corruption, revolution, mystical crystals known as ''True Runes'' and the "108 Stars of Destiny"—the 108 protagonists who are loosely interpreted from the source material. Though the ''Suikoden'' games follow an irregular chronological sequence of events, the entire series (except for ''Tierkreis'' and ''Tsumugareshi Hyakunen no Toki'') takes place within the same world among continuing and overlapping histories. In some cases, several characters appear in multiple installations. == Games == The ''Suikoden'' franchise has been developing games since 1995 and has developed various video game titles bearing the same name. The development team of the Suikoden series started developing games using 2D or two-dimensional graphics primarily used in the first and second games, while they only incorporated 3D graphics on environments and visual effects. Suikoden III however, marked the series' complete shift from 2D to 3D as the game jumps platforms; from PlayStation to PlayStation 2.
