Suikoden is a Japanese role playing series from Konami that began on the PlayStation in 1995, known for its large casts and stories of war and loss. Its music was produced by Konami's in house sound team, credited here as Konami Kukeiha Club. Theme of Sadness became one of the series' recurring emotional pieces, appearing in different arrangements across the games. The ensemble version associated with the game over screen spread through game rips and soundboards, where retro RPG fans still share it for somber defeat scenes.
