Post subject: Suikoden IV - Free Promotional Items

Suikoden IV Official Webpage

http://www.konami.com/gs/suikoden4/official/flash/

If you head over to the "Promotions" section you'll notice that they have quite a sweet liittle promotion going on right now. Basically, after you give Konami some personal information, you can enter special passwords in order to get some nice free stuff. 3 passwords scores you a CD of Suikoden music, 5 passwords gets you a Suikoden coin, and lastly, 7 passwords get you a wallscroll. As of now, I've found the following codes:

1. Electronic Gaming Monthly advertisement: magsnowe48
2. Suikoden Flash Puzzle Game: chiepoo19
3. Suikoden Flash Battleship Game: kooluk63

Right there are already enough passwords to at least score the CD. The "Clues" section also reveals that the Suikoden IV Art Book also has a code in it. If anyone could help the CAGs out with that code, I'm sure we'd all be very grateful. As of now, I suspect that there's probably also a password included with the game itself, maybe the player's guide? More magazine advertisements? Keep an eye open.

Update: New Code Found!

Suikoden IV Manual: 150razril5

There are also numbers in the back of the Art Books. People have been putting in random numbers between 20,000 and 30,000 for the last 3 codes. The art book codes can only be registered once per number, but the above codes can be used by everyone.

Peoples art codes are getting stolen by the second, so if you have one i suggest registering it

Just a recap. everyone can now get a free coin and a free music CD without having an artbook code:

6 codes all legit

Hey, thanks for the info! I'm going to try this out!

Four codes plus if I can find the fifth one in my art book is good for both the CD and the coin.

[Kid Fenris]

Many thanks to you, sir. I wouldn't mind a Suikoden soundtrack, especially one that drew from the entire series.

I wonder if my artbook's number is still valid, and if they take Suikoden coins down at the liquor store.

[maxlords]

I entered my five codes (along wiht my valid art book one) so I'm at least getting the CD and the coin. I assume more items will be added later so you can get the 6th nad 7th codes! :D

[Lemmy Kilmister]

What are some of the numbers that can be enter multiable times? I have four, but I need atleast one more to get the coin. :(

[maxlords]

No numbers can be entered multiple times. If you do, you're automatically disqualified according to the rules. Don't do it!

I actually already sent an email to Konami today complaining about people taking advantage of the contest in that way, along with forum links to those places. I'm sure they'll crack down on em and disqualify them, as the rules state specifically that anyone using artificial means to enter the contest with extra numbers will be disqualified.

[Gunstar_Hero UK]

Ohh.. Its times like these that I wish i lived in America..

[maxlords]

Ohh.. Its times like these that I wish i lived in America..

Or Canada....offer is valid for Canadians too! Yay!

[SoulBlazer]

Except if you live in Quebec. ;)

Yes, there are four codes NOT counting the unique code in the back of the art book. They can be found:
In the manual
In magazine game ad
2 by winning online games at the Suikoden 4 website

Those codes can be used numerous times, but only ONCE by each person.

And the code in the back of the art book can only be used ONCE, period.

If you have a art book, make sure your code is'nt stolen -- enter it now!

No 6th or 7th codes that I know off yet. If anyone hears what they are, PLEASE enter them here! Or at least a clue on how to get it. :D

[Lemmy Kilmister]

Nice, Got five so far. Only two more to go till the wall scroll.

[dracula]

the magsnowe48 and 150razil15 worked ok

i just entered random numbers between 20,000 and 30,000 to get the other five :-D.

[Lemmy Kilmister]

Except if you live in Quebec. ;)No 6th or 7th codes that I know off yet. If anyone hears what they are, PLEASE enter them here! Or at least a clue on how to get it. :D

It looks like you can also enter the number below the PS logo on you Suikoden disk. I'd do mine, but it looks like some asshole already beat me to the punch. :angry:

[maxlords]

the magsnowe48 and 150razil15 worked ok

i just entered random numbers between 20,000 and 30,000 to get the other five :-D.

Which will probably get you disqualified and banned from the contest. The rules specifically state that if you're caught artificially doing that, you'll be disqualified.

ok fair enough. i guess that wasnt the best idea. of course the official rules are unreadable, they are just a little red x

Konami reserves the right to replace any gift with a gift of equal or higher value.

The Loot
Alright, you’ve searched high and low for the passwords to unlock the treasure chests. There’s a limited amount of treasure chests so hunt for your password keys quickly before they’re all gone. Passwords can only be used once per entry, so you’ll have to search for different passwords in order to unlock any of the chests.

Treasure Chest #1: 3 Passwords needed to Unlock
- An exclusive limited edition Music CD featuring tracks from all 4 Suikoden games.
Treasure Chest #2: 5 Passwords needed to Unlock
- An exclusive limited edition Suikoden Coin
Treasure Chest #3: 7 Passwords needed to Unlock
- An exclusive Suikoden IV Silk Wallscroll

For example: Collect three passwords and receive the treasure from Chest #1. Collect 5 passwords and receive the treasure from Chest #1 and #2. Collect all 7 passwords and receive the treasure from all three chests. You may re-enter your information if you find additional passwords. You must enter with the same contact information and must re-enter all the previously verified passwords.

You may opt-out of the receipt of such emails by following the directions in the first email you receive.

Go to http://www.konami.com/suikoden4/official for details on the promotion, to enter or for a copy of these rules.
(Entrants may not enter with multiple email and/or multiple identities nor may
entrants use any other device or artifice to obtain additional entries. Any entrant who attempts to participate with multiple email and/or multiple identities may be disqualified.)


Entrants may not enter with multiple email and/or multiple identities nor may
entrants use any other device or artifice to obtain additional entries. Any entrant who attempts to participate with multiple email and/or multiple identities may be disqualified.

The key is the quote at the bottom which I restated separately. That method is a device or artifice to obtain additional entries. I'm sure Konami will find a way to disqualify people for it.

[kainemaxwell]

Ugh, I just want a soundtrack cd and the site stalls loading at 99%!! :angry:

[maxlords]

Only three passwords needed to get a soundtrack CD...while they're available.

[Muscelli]

will you get away if u entered #s between 20000 and 40000

[kainemaxwell]

There it goes!
Damn IE...

[maxlords]

No...that's the bad way to do it...the only legit way is to find the codes on your own (or with a few hints...the site gives one or two hints). If you enter those codes that way you'll probably only get in trouble.

[SoulBlazer]

testament, WHICH code on the Suikoden 4 CD are you talking about? Where EXACTLY on the CD do you look? I KNOW it's not the SLUS one cause that's invalid.

[dracula]

these can all be used multiple times:

150razril5
chiepoo19
magsnowe48
kooluk63

i emailed them and said i just made up the numbers, and they can delete them if they want so the person who actually owns that art book can be apart of the contest. I also suggested that they just not count ANY of the artbook numbers, because that would seem to be the only "fair" way to solve this.

that is just my 2 cents tho.

[kainemaxwell]

Ok, entered passwords. Is that it?

[Lemmy Kilmister]

testament, WHICH code on the Suikoden 4 CD are you talking about? Where EXACTLY on the CD do you look? I KNOW it's not the SLUS one cause that's invalid.

Hm, maybe it doesn't work then. I just thought maybe it worked because when I tried it, it said that some has already used that number.

[SoulBlazer]

Strange. But yeah, I know it can't be the SLUS number because that's a part number, and it's on the box as well. I tried it anyway (in lower case) and it said it was invalid.

I honestly don't think the sixth and seventh codes are out yet.

[Promophile]

Ok entered 5 numbers, including the one from my artbook. Is that all I have to do? Will they automatically send me stuff?

[Lemmy Kilmister]

Ok entered 5 numbers, including the one from my artbook. Is that all I have to do? Will they automatically send me stuff?

I tried entering more numbers I found later and all of my old ones where still up. So you sould be alright.

[hezeuschrist]

What about the strategy guide?

[slip81]

I did this earlier today as well, but I'm a little confused. The rules say that you can only enter each code once per household, but it also says that you can comeback to enter codes at a later date, but you'll have to re enter your personal info and previous codes.

How are you supposed to do this? Because say I go back in a week to enter code six, to do so I'll have to reenter all the other passwords including the one on the artbook, how will this not disqualify me?

Or did I misunderstand the rules and the only thing I have to re enter is the contact info, and then put the new codes in.

[mkuo7]

I gave my info and entered codes...but theres no "finish" button or something. Am I done?

[kainemaxwell]

No numbers can be entered multiple times. If you do, you're automatically disqualified according to the rules. Don't do it!

I actually already sent an email to Konami today complaining about people taking advantage of the contest in that way, along with forum links to those places. I'm sure they'll crack down on em and disqualify them, as the rules state specifically that anyone using artificial means to enter the contest with extra numbers will be disqualified.

What was the email address you sent to Konami? I gotta ask them to disregard one my entries cause I put the wrong email addy.

I agree with you here.

I signed up using FireFox this morning and entered three codes, then when I went to enter the fourth about an hour later, I had to re-enter my personal info. So here, I registered twice.

I returned home from work today with an artbook in hand and decided to use IE because the codes weren't being listed in FireFox, and registered again.

That makes 3 registries, but no confirmation that either of them us successful. =/

[kainemaxwell]

I just got a confirmation email from Konami about "registering my new Konami product", so that's proably with the promotion contest.

[maxlords]

Yeah, they don't send any straightforward confirmation at all. They actually specified that in the rules...they said you'd have to reenter your information exactly as it was before and possibly re-enter your codes (some people haven't had to reenter their codes tho). They don't confirm anything, but you will eventually get an email from Konami thanking you for registering your product. It took several hours for me to get that email.

Other than that, if you end up with more codes, you will have to reenter your information exactly as before so it goes on the same account. Don't wait for any sort of confirmation...as I assume you won't get it until they ship out prizes.

It says that you can enter as many times as you like, but only one prize will be sent to each household, so if you register 50 times and the highest number of registers is 6 codes, they'll send you the first two prizes and then discount the other 49 entries. It's a completely archaic way to do it, but hopefully I'll at least be getting a soundtrack and the other crap. I really really want the freakin wallscroll though

[Lemmy Kilmister]

I just got a confirmation email from Konami about "registering my new Konami product", so that's proably with the promotion contest.

Same here and I was using FireFox.

I was using IE at first (finally able to dl the Flash plugin for Firefox) then later used Firefox.

I'd love to get that soundtrack and hope I do!

[izret101]

I got a message saying the 2nd and 3rd code were invalid.
Whats that about?

[hezeuschrist]

I got a message saying the 2nd and 3rd code were invalid.
Whats that about?

Try them multiple times. I tried the chiepoo one twice because the first time it didn't work, it worked the second time though

[VACRMH]

I got a message saying the 2nd and 3rd code were invalid.
Whats that about?

I got that when I had an extra space at the end.

[slip81]

I used Safari and I got my confirmation email earlier today (I entered the codes yesterday afternoon).

I've entered 5 so far and am searching for the others, but now I have a dilema. Do I fly through the rest of Suiko IV to see if there is a code at the end, or do I go through it with a fine tooth comb to see if there are any codes hidden in the game?

Whatever I decide to do I'll have to do it fast cause the contest rules say that the sooner you enter the codes the better chance you have of getting the items cause they are limited. If I find anything in the game I'll let you all know.

If I plow through it I should finnish tomorrow as I'm already on chapter 9 out of 12.

[kainemaxwell]

I had no issues with my codes.

I'd say plow through it, and save over a different file. Then you can go back and go over the game rather well.

[AFGiant]

Ok, I registered the 4 reusable ones. What is this artbook? Where can I buy/get it? I really want that coin. I guess I could just check back here for when codes 6 and 7 come out...

[Promophile]

Ok, I registered the 4 reusable ones. What is this artbook? Where can I buy/get it? I really want that coin. I guess I could just check back here for when codes 6 and 7 come out...

you could buy one off ebay. They were given as a preorder bonus.

Be prepared to pay about $20 though. I would try going to a GS first and asking if they have any extras.

[D_N_G]

Just a recap. everyone can now get a free coin and a free music CD without having an artbook code:

5 codes all legit

magsnowe48
chiepoo19

lekk4481

[Crush Crawfish]

Ok, I've got 5 codes confirmed. I really hope we all get this stuff, as konami is handling it in such a confusing way....

[kainemaxwell]

Got the 5 now! Be nic eif we knew how Konami was handling who gets what prizes too...

[tholly]

well, i entered those 5.....thanks

hopefully i get some free stuff in the mail outta this

[le geek]

Awesome, thanks for the heads up! It's nice that the best prize IMHO is the easiest, the Soundtrack CD. (here's hoping for Ted's theme from Suikoden 1!)

Cheers,
Ben

[slip81]

Well that's 6 codes for me. Where was the 5th found?

[drummy]

I have 6 as well, but no confirmation e-mail yet...

[SoulBlazer]

Yes, I'd like to know where that 6th code came from also.

I just entered it -- Konami knew who I was when I re-entered my personal info and showed the 6th new code along with my 5 previously entered ones.

So now that's 5 codes that anyone can enter and a 6th found in the artbook.

Now we just need the 7th for that wallscroll! 8-)

[sisko]

6th is found by clicking on an island on the world map.

The 7th IS out there (or at least people have claimed to find it), but no one has dropped even the slightest of hints =/

[Joelius]

Excellent! Thanks a lot guys for leading me to this site. Free cool promotions are where it's at! :D

Which island on the world map? I couldn't click on anything.

[D_N_G]

there is a boat near the top right of the map. click the small islands that the boat is heading towards

[Dahne]

So you're outta luck if you don't have an art book?

Damn.

[D_N_G]

re read

there are 5 legit codes above without an art book code

5 codes get you soundtrack + coin

7 codes get you soundtrack + coin+ scroll - you will need an art book to get the scroll

[unbroken]

um where to you go to get your prize, all it lets me do is enter in passwords.

[D_N_G]

thats it, they will mail it to you if they have enough by the time they get to your entry, it is 1st come 1st served, you will also get a konami registration email

In the lower right quadrant. Your cursor will not change, but the island is clickable.

[maxlords]

Wow...they sure didn't make it easy to find some of these! I need ONE more code for a wall scroll darn it!

[tholly]

if anyone has an extra art book code, feel free to PM it my way

[kainemaxwell]

thats it, they will mail it to you if they have enough by the time they get to your entry, it is 1st come 1st served, you will also get a konami registration email

Confirmation email usually takes a few hours too.
Only 5 codes for me still. :(

[hezeuschrist]

6 codes... cmon Wallscroll!

[Dahne]

re read

As in, out of luck for the wall scroll.

Which is what I really want. :/

[SoulBlazer]

Hey, I was going to pre-order the game for the artbook anyway -- any time they offer a bonus for pre-ordering, DO IT! :D

Now I'm doubly glad that I got a artbook. ;)

That island code is sneaky, allright -- I even ran the mouse cursor all over the map and did'nt see anything clickable. But I KNEW there was a code hidden on the website!

I would'nt be surprised if the 7th turned up on the website as well. Come on, 7th code! Come to papa! :D

[Lemmy Kilmister]

[quote="SoulBlazer"]I would'nt be surprised if the 7th turned up on the website as well. Come on, 7th code! Come to papa! :D[quote]

Well it better come soon because the deal ends tommorow. :(

[SoulBlazer]

Oh ****, so it does. :(

Then the code MUST be out there somewhere. Please, if ANYONE knows what the 7th code is, PLEASE list it here!

[kainemaxwell]

Hmm, no confirmation email...

Anyhow I'm just intrested in the soundtrack, the coin's a bonus!

[djb1986]

No, it ends Feb. 28th, not tomorrow.

[drummy]

Is the confirmation e-mail the "THANK YOU FOR REGISTERING!" e-mail?
