The Latest in my random antics! Playthrough of Suikodens 1-3 + SuikoGaiden!

[NeoCracker]

WEll, here are my notes on Suikodgaiden I noted!

Starting up SUikoGaiden Vol. 1, a Visual Novel oddly, I am playing as Nash Latkje, a Special Agent
of Holy Harmonia's Sothern Frontier defense on my way to Muse to infultrate it. Seems he's in search
of one of the 27 True runes, presumably the Rune of the Beginning.

Might be oddly translated Dialogue, cause it made it sound like they aren't sure if the True
Runes actually exist or not, though from 2 one of their Generals posses's the True Wind Rune.

And Nash is carrying Sierra on his back all the way to Harmonia to Muse... This is smurfing
awesome. He Describes her as 'A Sly and arrogant old woman who doesn't have even an ounce
of shame.'



And for those interested, here is a Harmonian's view of a True Rune.

'The 27 True Runes are the source of energy for this world. It's said that their bearers gain
immortality and incredible strength. I wouldn't believe it for a second if I wasn't traveling
with one of them.'

...Huh, Sierra is coming here in search of the True Moon Ruin, so it's taking place sometime
during SUikoden 2 it would seem.

Either way, I stay at a mansion Sierra seems to know the owner of, get attacked at the night
and am fighting my way to the Vampire owner of the mansion, which was Sierra's plan all along.
I learn that Nash here is a ember of the 'Howling Voice Guild' which is trained in the secrets
of Gunpowder and Gun Making. Said the guild holds a unique position in Harmonia. However he never
became a gunner, but does keep on hand some gunpoweder.

And the vamp in question is Rean Penenberg. AND NOW SIERRA STORY TIME!


...THAT WAS smurfING SAD!

It has been a while since I have seen the premise that vampirism is a curse handled so
wonderfully. Sierra just got even better after this, and you learn more about the vampires
of Blue Moon Village.

Now on to chapter 2....

You finally get to muse, after some kids tried sneaking in with a fake pass....

ANyway, he infultrates a highland camp to investigate possible use of the Beast Rune, and it turns
out Nash here was the guard that let Jowy and friend into the tent for some butter! XD

To wrap this up, as I've already finished, you get some fun details on Luca Blight, Jowy,and the fall
of Greenhill. Hell, you even find out it's this guy who tells Kahn about Sierra, who helps
defend Greenhill Prior to Jowy getting thier to beat it. It's also Nash and Shin who rescue
Teressa and get her into hiding.

Here's waiting for Vol. 2 to get translated so I can play the second half of his story, which
seems as though we'll get more information on Harmonia!

I'm only a short way into III right now. I like how one of the characters mothers is Lucia, and I've already managed to hurt myself with the water Rune. AoE attacks are horrid in the prescence of you being unable to fully control positioning of troops.

I'll get to IV, V, and Tactics after my playthrough of this set.

Edit: Okay, it's only some magic that does taht, not all aoe. Still though, that kills the usefulness of a good chunk of magic.

And dear god this camera. Oh dear smurfing god this camera.
