Just recently started V. So far so good. Much, MUCH better than IV so far.

Does anyone have any good scans of V characters or a website that does? These designs are rockin'.

Good place to start is

Pictures everywhere and forums have links to other areas.

But Game Informer made it out to sound like it was the most boring experience that they were ever forced to play through (one reason why I take magazine reviews with a grain of salt when I know the game is good). Just give it time, and once five's story really kicks in you'll be having a blast :)
Yea, I'm about 25 hours into the game, and I'm loving it. I just got my castle, and I've run around recruiting people. Though apparently I didn't do well enough in my last battle to get two rather picky generals in Raftfleet. Bastards.

And........this keeps people(generally) from replaying the game, like me. Seriously that part of the game was intensly boring. Once that was over, I milked my battles to death. Suikoden V's strongest point IMO is it's battles. Very addicting and when you get those superhuman characters(Raven, Richard, etc) you really start kicking ass without stopping.

Have Viki in your party and I believe they will join you.

I'm officially an idiot. Where on that site do they store pics? I click Suikoden V and it takes me to a page with two links, both not picture related. :?

I recall something about Wilhelm and Mueller refusing to join if you get a lot of your generals killed in battle. I think that's what he's talking about.

Not generals, just if you allow a few troops to die. I never lose generals. And yea, having Viki in your party along with Lyon is a guaranteed sign up.

It's there but not in it's original form. No idea why they took it out of the pic thread. Anyway the OP provided this link.

Slight warning; even though they are pictures, they could be spoilers :o.

Well, if you're in need of a strategy, baiting always works. The AI's not smart enough to attack in groups, so you can lure one unit away from the pack and then hit it with its weakness or arrow volleys.

With some careful planning and healing abilities, you can wrap up most battles with less than 100 soldiers killed.

Golfdish from Hell Aug 8, 2006 06:56 PM
Is there any additional dialogue if you have Viki with you and go to recruit Mueller/Wilhelm? I was able to get them without her (think I lost between 200-300 troops...forget which battle it was) and I got the one where Wilhelm asks Mueller and Mueller replies they have no reason to turn down the offer to join.

Also, what do they say if you didn't meet the requirements?

Heh. If your REALLY patient you can win every battle with 0 losses, it's that easy. All you need is the rest or the other ability, I think it was nourish. They are the abilities that restore health when your standing still.

The only drawback is that this will take ages and you won't get a victory+ because it takes too long, but in some missions its quite handy. My good old dependable beaver units both had rest.

No no, I know that. I just clicked the wrong button and baited three ships instead of the two I wanted in the attack on EVIL DAM CITY PLACE WITH OMINOUS SOUNDING NAME. No biggie.

Goldfish, Mueller just says "I don't care." My issue was that I didn't have Viki in the party.

I just got V. I know--late. Problems getting it, you see. (Are ANY of the previous complete sentences?!)

And I'm loving it.

All the Suikoden games start off slow. (Suikoden II especially pops into mind. Long-ass intro and then all the recruiting...sheesh...) But, when you commit yourself to playing this game, you're in for a treat.

And V definitely brings back the Suikoden "feel." And it does sailing right! Let the AI handle it! No battles.

And although I liked IV's Rune Cannons, these water battles are more fun.

I love Suikoden V's opening, all eight hours of it. Less battles, more character development. Because the load times were so long, I dreaded every battle (and the battle system were never a strong point of the series to begin with).

Whoa... what? You liked IV's rune cannons? IV's tactical battles were so easy I could've done it with my eyes closed. =p V's definitely harkens back to the classics, which I really enjoy!

I finished V (finally!) with both the complete and incomplete endings. Just in time for school too. In short, I adored it. Great game. :)

Yes. I LIKED the rune cannons. Not the actual battles, but the idea of the cannons themselves.

And, these battles are more fun. I think I like "Don't let 'em get away!" as my favorite battle cry.....lol

Apparently the game was discontinued(this isn't confirmed though). I don't see it at EB anymore either as a brand new game. Should it be true that is was, lucky find... I see Suikoden V being much more expensive to get than the Suikoden II is.

I loved V and like jct said, the load times were well...heh. Big emphasis on female fighters in this game than any other.

Golfdish from Hell Aug 26, 2006 03:51 PM
Actually, if it's any indication, the used price for S3 has jumped to $40 (from $27) at Gamestop. And S4 seems to have dried up entirely, though that may be for the better. Plenty of Suikoden Tactics though...

I didn't see S5 available the last time I went to Gamestop either. Hmm...

No, I had ordered it online, but I never got it (someone stole it), and I was lucky to find a new copy at the local EB. I called them and they held it for me.

And, yes, the load times are a bit long, but I like Viki's screen....

MrSatan Oct 2, 2006 06:43 PM
im playing suikoden V, its great!!!
i love the differente ending according to your choices!
i got more than 1 game over by that, hehehe
love the character and the art too.
i read some people dont like the art, but i prefer it over IV which where rather simple.
anyway, i wonder how many ending this have??
i think im near the end, i have to recapture sable and lordlake

Double Post:
oh BTW i have 72 hours
its my first game to achive this record of time, since FFVII

Vemp Oct 7, 2006 11:37 AM
Holy shit it's MrSatan. Don't hack GFF ok.

Anyways, now playing Suiko5, and first 8 hours was boring as fuck. But so far I'm loving the game. Hopefully I'll be able to finish this, since I wasn't able to finish 2, don't have 3, 4 was crap, and don't know if Tactics is worth trying.

Ryuu Oct 8, 2006 11:37 AM
Amazon.com said that Suikoden V has been discontinued...so uh...I'm going to go get it while it's still $40 as it sounds like an extremely good game.
