I thought this plan was fool proof! I have no idea how this happened.
So we get our butts thrown in prison and Nanami and Jowy start arguing. Jowy says Nanami overacted and Nanami says she was just acting like a 28 year old woman (she wasn't) and she blames Jowy. They ask me to pick a side.
He says he was jealous because even though his family was rich and he got whatever he wanted, he didn't have the connection that Riou, Nanami, and Genkaku had.
He then gets sad again. He says he was happy (basically) with Pilika and her family, and he liked her calling him Uncle Jowy. He wanted to protect her, and he failed.
I will say this, the dynamic in this game with Jowy and Pilika is brilliant. I think its great seeing that side of Jowy. It's one of my favorite parts of this story.
he says he wants to end the war, and he will do whatever it takes.
Pilika wakes up and Jowy apologizes for waking her. He lays her back down to sleep. Then we get some rest.
We wake up the next morning to find Flik and Viktor have come to bail us out. Again.
He tells us he was worried about us and he calls Nanami a few names and Nanami gets upset and angry and eventually they move past it and are better friends then ever! All of that is true except the friends part.
The man compliments her excellent leadership skills and he tells her she has no time for brown-nosers and people who's mouth works faster than their feet. She tells him to leave, and he runs out.
Annabelle comes over, Viktor is in awe at her leadership skills, and introductions are made. Annabelle hears Jowy's name and asks about his family.
She asks how he is doing and Nanami informs her that he died a year ago. She then says something about never being able to atone for their sins against him, and when asked, she replies that she is very busy and we will discuss it later. She then leaves us under the care of Jess.
I agree to this, because why not. Nanami fusses at me, but she agrees. So we have our next mission! I think I'm supposed to go Northeast? It's North something, I'll figure it out.
Sure, why not. I head over to Leona, who gives me a refill and I hand it to the lady. Then I leave town for no apparent reason and come right back. Then she asks if I have ever seen a lady swordsman before (or swordswoman, if you will) and I say I've never seen one so beautiful. This makes her happy. Then I leave town once again for no apparent reason and come right back. She asks for some Antitoxin. I give her some. Then she asks if we are fighting or something and I say yes and ask her to join.
And another recruit! (If you miss Tuta, he joins automatically later on, and Anita can be recruited two different ways later on in the game if you miss her here. Let me know if you need help!)
#24 Tenkyu, Lewd Star; Mu Hung: The Indominable One
14/108
Now why don't we head back to the Mercenary Fortress for funsies.
#106 Chimou (Chikou) The Rat Star; Pei Sheng: Rat in the Daylight
14/108
This star was also occupied by Templeton in the first game (where he looked basically the same, but two years younger) and it is usually held by the map maker of the game.
Shion, I haven't been reading this thread because I haven't played this game yet and want to avoid spoilers, but I just wanted to say it's super cool that you're doing this and putting in a million pictures and everything!
Thanks for the positive feedback guys . It is nice to know some people are enjoying it. I'll post up another update later.
I am actually not playing with a walkthrough, I'm going through this off of memory. So it is possible that I miss some stuff. Although I am pretty certain I'll manage all 108 stars.
And if you need help recruiting some stars, Pike, this thread will be here for you in the future
Good stuff. I started a new save on Suikoden (1) last night, luckily it's much shorter than 2. :P So glad I held onto my copies of these games seeing what they go for on online now. :O Getting all 108 is tricky even with a walkthrough. Are you doing Clive's and any other side stories?

I won't be able to do Clive's sidequest. I have him set up to recruit, but I spend too much time on video games :P. There is no way I'll be able to get there on time unless I use a cheat or something, which i really don't feel like doing.
So he guides me to the woods and then I go through and fight bunnies and find treasures.
Note: There is a character to be recruited later on that you need to have escaped from 50 battles to recruit. I have been randomly picking battles as I go to escape from so that i should hopefully meet this quota by the time he can be recruited.
So we get to the end of the forest, where the camp is.
It's conveniently enough the ONLY tent that is guarded.
So we head over there and someone comes up to us, noticing our Youth Brigade uniforms. he asks what we're doing here, and Jowy tells him we escaped from the attack way back when.
I respond with the first one because I'm trying to not be suspicious, and a bunch of kids who thought they were attacked by the City-State would probably have a bit of a grudge.
So he lets us past, examining us one last time before deciding we couldn't be spies with faces like these
We get in the provisions tent by saying we need butter. Butter is pretty important, so I can see why they let us in.
She explains that she is beginning to realize that there is nothing she can do to stop him. She then tells us things have calmed down, and we can leave.
I tell her the tea was good :3
So we head out and are once again greeted by ugly face. Getting real tired of you, Rowd.
But, says Nanami, we already tried. He's busy. Viktor says he has a trick.
We head back to City Hall and Viktor basically body tackles the poop out of the poor man guarding the door to the office. Flik says it's some trick and Viktor replies with:
Jess defends his behavior by saying they needed to know how much provisions the Highland Army has, so they can plan accordingly. I tell him 2 weeks worth. Viktor rages some more. Viktor and Jess fuss at each other.
I reject her offer. We sit for a minute. She offers again. I reject it again. Pilika comes out, huffing and puffing. She obviously ran over. She starts to cry, but Nanami reassures her that Jowy would never break a promise and that he will come back. Pilika waits with us. Nanami tells a story about when Riou got lost in the woods. Her and Jowy waited just like this.
He assures us he kept his promise and he is happy we waited for him.
D'awww
We wake up to Nanami fussing at us for sleeping in. Apparently a week has passed since the incident. She tells us we need to get our butts moving because
He says we can get inside if we stick with him. He goes up to the guard and declares who he is. The guard asks for ID. Viktor says his face is ID. This isn't acceptable to the guard.
Flik walks up and makes sure Viktor isn't planning to use his "trick" again. The guard instantly recognizes him as Flik of the Blue Lightning and lets everyone in. Viktor asks how they know Flik's face and not his own, and Flik is just as confused.
We enter the meeting room, Anabelle and Jess enter first, followed by 3 men. One of them tells Nanami to mover her keester, basically. Nanami starts to rage.
