[General Discussion] Suikoden Club v7!

The only problem I have with Suikoden 5 is it's loading time is painful... other than that, the game is a true gem with a lot of similarities to 1 and 2.

Jam it back in, in the dark.

The Queens Knights are awesome...for some reason I know I am going to end up leaning towards having Georg and Kyle as two of my most used characters...uh only put this is spoiler because maybe people dont like to know names?

Spoiler:

Wait till you get Richard, that guy alone with some decent armor and the Eye Ring equipped, plus a counter rune, a boost rune and his weapon sharpened to level 10 or so can handle almost everything you face... he makes normal fights like a joke and boss fights pathetic than they have ever been...

There's nowhere I can't reach.

The person I'm finding to be quite useful is Yahr. Sure, his portrait is goofy as hell, but replacing Belcoot with him as my one front-liner seems to be working out. His Angry Dragon doesn't do as much as Belcoot's Falcon, but the trade-off is that Yahr isn't Unbalanced by his personal rune. He also gets level 4 magic, which I don't think Belcoot can get even if he's level 99.

But they won't be able to parry and avoid as much as Richard does... it's his 3xx technique stat that makes him godly.

This thing is sticky, and I don't like it. I don't appreciate it.

Sol Falena, and i read on someone's post if i dont recruit all 108 starts, Lyon and the aunt dies?

Well i'm quite okay with this game so far, i mean the camera angles takes time to getting used to and the battle rate is still high, Oh and dungeons still seems small but its okay, I love the VA for Lyon, oh i just wanted if someone from the previous suikoden will come back except Viki,jeane,Killey,Lorenta (Sorry if the name is wrong)

Spoiler:

Yup, Lyon will die if you don't have 108 stars... just like S1's Gremio revival thing

The voice work quality is superb in S5, especially the girls'. Miakis, Lyon and Lun's VA carried out their personalities, KONAMI finally did something right for once.

Double Post:
Is it normal to be at least 8 hours and still in Rainwall (Lord barrow and shit)?

Oh yangxu is that your guide on gamefaqs? its pretty usefull as i said earlier recruiting stars in this game is pretty hard because of the npc, looking the same as others.

Yes, basically only those that befriended with you are useable at this moment... (excluding some of the reserved positions during certain events, ie. Sialeeds). It's normal if you are 8 hours into the game and are still at Rainwall. The game will pick up its pace once you get your tactician.

And yes, I wrote that character recruitment guide on gamefaqs, thanks for your encouragement I just feel that a guide dedicated solely to recruitment is needed so that people can get the info they want at a glance.

I was speaking idiomatically.

The game lasts about 50 hours, story itself is around 5 hours if you just keep on reading the script....

What kind of toxic man-thing is happening now?

Sorry for the late reply, Liquid, but yeah, like the posters above me said, those two have nothing to do with other characters' recruitments... and stats-wise, Eresh is the second best mage next to Zerase. On the other hand,

Spoiler:

Euram is not even a usable character, he's just there to fill the SoD tablet...

How ya doing, buddy?

Who did you bring in your party to recruit it? The safest person to take with you is Levi, which means you might have to wait

Spoiler:

till you take over Doraat

before getting Levi. Genoh won't join you if the old member in your active party is 2 or 3 levels lower than your Hero... you can try Alhazred, but make sure he's around the same level as all the other guys in your party. Genoh is not a missable character, so you shouldn't worry about getting it so soon, the only thing you need to worry about is getting Byakuren... but as long as you don't head over to the hanging bridge in your HQ without Levi or Genoh in your SoD, it's not a problem.

What, you don't want my bikini-clad body?

Try what Tir said:

Spoiler:

I was able to get it to join me when Alhazred's 2 levels below my Hero... but if he doesn't join in your game, raise him to the same level and see if it helps... if all fails, recruit Levi and bring him to Genoh right away. It seems that different people have different luck in getting Genoh to join, I probably need to refine that part of the FAQ a bit more.

Jam it back in, in the dark.

How far are you in the game?

How ya doing, buddy?

Doraat, gonna get all the SoD now, if i do get genoh i just refresh the skin and Richard will be there right

Spoiler:

Yes, that's right. You won't have to worry about the giant turtle disturbing you if you recruited it first

This thing is sticky, and I don't like it. I don't appreciate it.

It's gonna take a while to get enough skill points, but as long as you fight every battle you encounter, points should accumlate fast.

I am a dolphin, do you want me on your body?

Spoiler:

You are about 60% done... but because there are many sidequests involved with recruiting each character, it'll take much longer to complete the game and the good ending...

I was speaking idiomatically.

Spoiler:

Yes, but you can always go back and play it again to get the good ending...

What kind of toxic man-thing is happening now?

Spoiler:

You can use him for the very last part of the game... but he's not usable in the battle against the final boss if it's your first time playing the game. When you've unlocked the new game+, you can then use him in the final boss fight.

FELIPE NO

It really depends on the person, many people liked the trinity system, while others hated it... also, the whole paired-party battle system just didn't work well for many Suikoden fans, so you really have experience it yourself in order to get a feel of what it's like. 3's story is quite compelling, you may find yourself emotinally attached to many characters, not just the protagonists. Also, being the first 3D Suikoden game, it's quite successful. (Although I still prefer it to be a 2D game... =/)

It shouldn't be that hard, Zerase and Levi could take care of it easily if you have Magic Absorb Runes equipped on them, just keep casting level 4 spells (combo if you want) and it should go down. Lyon and Prince's Twilight/Dawn Rune combos deal crazy damage to the boss and heal your entire party, so the battle shouldn't take more than 10 turns to finish.
