You all know Yoshitaka Murayama, creator of the Genso Suikoden series, right? Sure you do -- he built one of the most expansive fictional worlds in gaming history, then left Konami under semi-mysterious circumstances prior to the completion of Suikoden III. The split was almost certainly not amicable.
The series has languished under other scenarists for many a year, with trufans left to wonder just what was going down in the mysterious lands of Harmonia.
Could it be that we're about to find out?
Two days ago, Murayama posted the following on his personal site (translated) :

What's to be done about this...?
They say the Rubicon is a very small river. I wonder what it felt like to cross?
That's my current mood.
The word he uses for "certain company", carries the implication of "that certain company", which could be interpreted as Konami.
As any schoolboy knows, Julius Caesar crossed the Rubicon to return to Rome.
Could it be?
