I would like 99 of these, and 99 of those, and 99 tents to pitch at the hottie.

In Suikoden games, spending becomes interesting...Figure you'll likely have around 40-50 active party members, a number of which will need top-of-the-line armor and weapon upgrades. So maxing out a character's weapon is something of an investment of both money and committing to using the character, since you'll run out of money fast if you just try to do everyone.

In my Suikoden V New Game+, I restarted with about 100,000 Potch. I'm not even at the halfway point and I'm broke, because I've been upgrading everyone's weapons indiscriminately. And not even to their maximum levels.

Lot's more stuff to buy (Runes, crystals, potions) and armor is always improving at shops. But that's just it...I like having lots of USEFUL stuff to pick from.

Jam it back in, in the dark.
