I just learned that Yoshitaka Murayama, writer of the Suikoden 1 and 2, and Eiyuden Chronicles has passed away on February 6th.

It is so sad because you just know that this guy was very passionate about creating stories for fans to love and how he worked so tirelessly to make that dream a reality.

RIP Yoshitaka Murayama. Suikoden 1 and 2 was amazing and I eagerly look forward to Eiyuden Chronicles. Thank you so much for your labors.

Here is a link to the official statement from Rabbit & Bear Studios if anyone was interested.
