Development
Suikoden III was developed by the same team as Suikoden II, for the most part. In June 2002, just a month before its release, some of Suikoden III's team left Konami, including series creator Yoshitaka Murayama. Programmer Keiichi Isobe took over as Senior Director after Murayama's departure. With the removal of Murayama and the other's names from the end-credits, fans speculated that a case of corporate meddling had caused him to leave, but Murayama himself denies this and claims their relations remain amicable, and that the omission of credits were due to a Konami company policy of not crediting former employees. The opening video sequence for Suikoden III was developed and produced by the team responsible for animating the Suikogaiden games; following the second Suikogaiden game's completion, the Suikogaiden team and Suikoden III team merged and went on to develop Suikoden IV and Suikoden V.

“Fascism, the more it considers and observes the future and the development of humanity, quite apart from political considerations of the moment, believes neither in the possibility nor the utility of perpetual peace.”
