I'm a series veteran. Suikoden IV aside, none of the games have had a high encounter rate.

Ask others. Suikoden has always enjoyed a high encounter rate than most RPGs.Xelinis said:I'm a series veteran. Suikoden IV aside, none of the games have had a high encounter rate.
Augemitbutter said:i wonder how to clear the "XXX goods" quests. i keep sending different people but the results are always lame. they dont give you any clues either and sometimes on different missions all my stars pretty much refuse to feel positive about some missions.

firex said:I think I'm like 10 hours at most into the game now and I'm liking it, but recruiting people seems harder than it was in the main Suikoden games. Mainly because when I meet someone who's got a name and portrait so far, they tend to be on the enemy's side.
Still, I'm liking the game a lot overall. I don't really want Suikoden 6 to use this game's gameplay systems, but other than that it's pretty awesome.

I haven't gone more than 30+ steps in any of my Suikoden playthroughs without encountering something. And IV's ocean is swarming with encounters. Dunno if I'm a special case though. Maybe.Mejilan said:I'm playing through Suiko 1 now on my PSP, and the encounter rate is highly variable. I can go 4 steps between battles; and I can go 100+ steps with nary a foe in sight.

There is aJenga said:Finished it a bit ago.
I kinda wished they worked ina bad end, with the hero going through that one day over and over again. Instead of him realizing what's going on, it'd just cut out to Liu or Jale, or whoever and show them repeating their happiest day over and over. After this we'd get a little speech by the One King talking how much better everything is predetermined.
Jenga said:they definitelyleave stuff open for a sequel, with several characters disappearing, and the northern empire breaking out into a civil war. hell, it even mentions a handful of characters heading to that empire before the civil war, so there you have your setting and a chance for recurring characters
So very true.Gunloc said:I think it would be weird to have a sequel taking place in solely one location when Tierkreis' whole spiel was the "Infinity" concept. And if they make a Tierkreis sequel before a true Suikoden sequel, that would upset a lot of people, myself included.
Answer:abstract alien said:Could someone list the one-shot-only characters and how you get them?
Gunloc said:Alternate Recruitment List (Spoilers)

Listed in order of recruitment. Some reading ahead is necessary for earliest possible recruitment. Missable characters are marked.
shykyoichi said:So very true.
Atrie's or other Marica's world are fine as technically they're on another "universe" if we follow a multiverse setting. However, using the Empire of the North Star or the United Kingdom of Ritterschild would defeat the purpose of exploring the "millions worlds" out there. Sticking to the same geography in Tierkreis will ironically cause the same problem that Konami said they were avoiding: continuity and backstory.MotherFan said:You could hit up a sequalin Atrie's world or other Maruca's world, or hell any other world. Also, there are other continents, you could move over to say, that continent that the gun people came over from (sorry, totally blanked on their names)
wow, you're making it hard on tierkreis there. maybe play IV first? :lolMejilan said:I'm rapidly approaching the very end of Suikoden 1. Good stuff. Next up is 2, then I plan on hitting up Tierkreis.
mattiewheels said:wow, you're making it hard on tierkreis there. maybe play IV first? :lol
Mejilan said:Nah, I've played a bit of Tierkreis already, and I've already noticed that it has some of my favorite Suiko traits, much better graphics, lovely music, and a much better localization. Suikoden 1 is awesome, but janky beyond belief, and with one of the worst translations this side of the 32 bit era. Hell, there are more than a few 16 bit RPGs with significantly better localizations.

Forkball said:No weapon mastery? This makes a lot of characters really generic, as you basically just slap the best equipment on anyone.

I noticed that you quoted someone else, but I just gave the "thumbs up" for caring enough to point it out to me. I searched and couldnt find an easy list that involved minimal reading due to spoilers, so I appreciated it.shykyoichi said:If you have continued reading after that, you'll find that I've quoted someone for the answer.

speedpop said:Just don't let the VAs detract yourself from enjoying some sublime music in this game.
Mislato River tune, visiting Naineneis for the first time and not wanting to leave because of the music, the music that plays at the Magedom of Janam in the latter half of the game, and of the course the Woodland Village song is awesome. Such great music at times.
