[General Discussion] Suikoden Club v7!

Am I the only one who REALLY LIKES the bird's-eye camera view? I think it makes navigation so much easier than if they were to try the same camera as they did with, say, Suikoden IV.

Right now, I know that I'm nearing the end, and I'm really liking this. This is clearly the best one on this system, and I have to wait until the "fanboyism" passes, but I'm pretty sure this is my favorite in the series.

For the first time with a Suikoden game, rather than wanting to play the "old ones", I really want to restart this game right away. This is a good sign.

What kind of toxic man-thing is happening now?

If it weren't for the excessive load times and slightly bland exploration graphics (zooming all the way in shows how little detail they put in the backgrounds... Cutscene graphics were decent, though) the game would be my favorite without a doubt. As it stands, it still has the best story (with a slightly "blah" ending) in the series. At least IMO.

Most amazing jew boots

Spoiler:

I just named my army, and my god Lucretia is the most awesome character ever, And i like how Main hero is cool since he develops his character eventhough the "silent" method had been done.

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

woot! found the last copy at the gamestore. gonna read the manual, and start playing.

how long is the story about?

Jam it back in, in the dark.

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

There's nowhere I can't reach.

anyone else having framerate problems? hasnt really done it in cutscenes.. but when several chars on screen(sun palace) it bogs down.

just wondering if its my ps2 or its the game

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

It's the game, I get that even loading the game from my HD-Loader. Too many models onscreen at once and the PS2's processor is too weak to handle it effectively, I'm sure. It's not that bad, though. Try to zoom in once or twice if it bothers you too much.

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

Oh yeah is it me or is it one or does it have one of the best openings ever? And i like how Moonlit night theme is back <3, the game is awesome just finished going to raftfleet and i must say i like the "army battles" this time around, too bad i found them short.

Double Post:
Hey Yangxu

Spoiler:

i was just wondering, on the end of the game about Euram and Eresh, well it seems that Euram is needed for Maximillian knights? while Eresh is needed for 2nd part dungeon, but which person do i really need to complete the 108 SOD?

I was speaking idiomatically.

The choice between those two has no bearing on other characters. You can choose either, and still get all 108 Stars of Destiny.

Okay thanks, i was getting confused. but who seems more usefulll? Is it Euram or Eresh?

FELIPE NO

To answer Liquid_Snack:

Eresh is one of the best mages in the game and nets you an optional dungeon.

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

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?

Another thing i wanted to ask is how the fuck can i recruit Genoh, I've checked out Faq's guides and such, but i can never recruit him.

There's nowhere I can't reach.

how far am i?

Spoiler:

just got to teh beaver village, trying to find cesa lake or whatever its called

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

At least 1/4 or 1/2 i dont know, but i'm already finish through that part, but collecting SoDs this time is hecka harder too much time consuming IMO.

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.

I was speaking idiomatically.

I used the book guy, you said 2 levels but he doesnt appear when you talk to genoh,

What kind of toxic man-thing is happening now?

That happened to me too when I brought Alhazred who was 2 levels lower than hero, I just raised his level the same as hero's.

FELIPE NO

can you not get a fullscreen map? I just got the SoD, and he gave me a map of falena(finally) and all i get is still a minimap at the bottom right.

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

Map difference:

The difference is that the new mini-map is far more detailed. All the original one did was show if a town was nearby, while this one shows the actual geography and all that.

How ya doing, buddy?

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.

There's nowhere I can't reach.

I havent got richard yet, so I'm quite scared that i might not get him.

How ya doing, buddy?

How far are you in the game?

How ya doing, buddy?

Richard isn't missable so don't worry about him.

I was speaking idiomatically.

Am I the only one who thinks that it is kind of strange that arguably the best fighter on the game is a meek little swordsman whose sword looks like it could be bent like flimsy wire?
