* AbortedArc: The earlier games hinted at a much greater plot in the works that future sequels would address, but which ultimately never happened.
** The first two games included a BlackKnight named Pesmerga whom you could recruit. Everything about him was shrouded in mystery. The only clear detail was that he had it out for Yuber, and both games end with him leaving the army to continue hunting his hated enemy. Come the third game, however, Pesmerga was mysteriously absent, which was especially notable because Yuber became more prominent than ever before. The following two games were then released as prequels, pushing the subplot even more deeply into the back.
** Both Suikoden II and III built Harmonia up as the site of the next big war, with the leadership serving as the GreaterScopeVillain for both games and the High Priest, Hikusaak, possibly being the BigBad for the series as a whole. The games never got around to that though, as both Suikoden IV and V went onto other lands and told stories completely unrelated to Harmonia, and in the past as well.

''Suikoden'' is a series of games (released on various consoles, starting with the original UsefulNotes/PlayStation) that are loosely based on a classical Chinese novel, ''Literature/TheWaterMargin'' (or ''Outlaws of the Marsh'' and ''All Men are Brothers''). These games are notable in that they all take place in the same world, although at different periods and locations throughout its history. Some games are chronologically close enough to each other that they feature many of the same characters, although the main hero (or heroes) of the game are always new characters.

There's also a slot machine game released in 2010, which saw the fans basically thinking "so this is how it ends, huh?". Ultimately, a last spin-off game was released on the PSP in 2012, known as ''VideoGame/SuikodenWovenWebOfTheCenturies'', but [[NoExportForYou it was never localized]].
