I've been an active member for quite a few years now. I started my RMN career by releasing the Eden Legacy Trilogy of games (each entry took 4 months of nonstop work) within one year, and I've gradually shifted to creating other games as well. I now have 3 flagship series: Eden Legacy, Fragile Hearts, and Mafiosi (being remade for commercial release as Crime Opera). I'm pretty much solely focused on the Crime Opera series of visual novels right now, as my band and job currently take up most of my free time.
Currently working on
-Crime Opera Trilogy (Mafiosi 1, 2, & 3 edited, with all original resources)
-It's a secret...

Eden Legacy: A Knight of Eden Review
Spoilers:
Balta was a knight of eden.... not a princess. And she in fact killed the knights with the fire sword for opposing her plans to "cleanse" the world of humanity, which she perceives to be evil (or god told her to? we can't know for sure). But wutevs.
It was intended to speak out against religious fanaticism, essentially. Not meant to be inciteful, really, but it's there if ya wanna look for it. I look at the first trilogy as being a back story, or mythological background for subsequent stories, which is why I want to keep it sorta vague and ambiguous.
End Spoilers.
Parts II and III will give background notes anyway, which thankfully will be VERY short, but accurate and fully sufficient.

Best RM Games you've Ever Played

I too have missed out on Suikoden.
What's cool is that I can play Suikoden OR Exit Fate OR Legion Saga and have the same exact experience.
No, there's no comparing Legion Saga to Suikoden at all. I've never played Exit Fate yet.

I just beat Suikoden 1 for the second time a couple months ago. It isn't my favorite, but it's one of the few RPGs that I feel warrants a replay.
Eden Legacy: A Knight of Eden Review
Vow broken.
The whole point of the Eden Legacy series is to emphasize the ambiguous nature of evil, and that nothing is as "black and white" (see how I did that?) as it may first appear. However, this does not become clear until the end, so it makes sense that you would not have encountered any of it in your play through. If I may be critical of my own work, the story actually REQUIRES you to get to the end, and remains pretty invisible through the rest of the game. You may think this was a mistake, but if you didn't like the gameplay enough to keep playing past an hour and a half, I doubt the story would be enough to keep your attention further anyway, so i stand by my decision for this particular game.
Perhaps that is one of the reasons why the reviewers who played to the end liked it more? You would have to ask them. Anyway, there is a twist, but it is only for those who actually like the gameplay enough to get through it all. You didn't, so I sincerely doubt the deeper meaning of it all would change your opinion of it anyway. I'm not trying to sway any opinions here, I'm just saying that I did at least do SOMETHING with it.
Vow back on :P

Eden Legacy: A Knight of Eden Review
Deluxe is practically done, and there are a few who refused to play the black and white one because it hurt their eyes, so I may as well finish up and release it.
I really like your idea, in the second game, however... there is no grass. I was thinking about extra exp for completing little missions though. The less grind the better!
