Suikoden V Recruiting Woes

[Darkbeat]

Dunnow...I use different parties so I change often.

When I'm in my Mage mood, I usually have these:

Faroush, Lyon, Levi, Zerase, Jean, Eresh

Other parties:

Faroush, Lyon, Richard, Cathari, Zerase, Levi

Faroush, Lyon, Miakis, Georg, Zerase, Richard

Standard in my entourage:

Egbert >> Potch Finder is one hell of an ability!
Takamuku >> Escape Route FTW!
Zweig/Lorelai >> Treasure Hunt <333 next to that they do well as Party members in battles when I need to switch

I'm very fond of Richard and his Swallow Rune <3

[BG-57]

When the plot doesn't force a party on me, I like having Prince, Lyon, Richard, Zerase, Lorelei, and Zweig in my main party.

Another fun party is Kisara, Logg, Lun, and Subala, in addition to the Prince and Lyon. That family is so comical and it certainly helps that Lun is voiced by Lia Sargent.

Final parties:
Faroush - Rage, Dawn, Flowing
Lyon - Thunder, Mother Earth, (SPOILER)Twilight (Not spoiling BG-57)
Belcoot - N/A, Falcon, Mother Earth
Bernadette - Pale Gate, Shield, Cyclone
Miakis - Shield, Cyclone, Rage
Zerase - Star, Resurrection, Flowing

I use Lorelai (Thunder, Drain, Mother Earth) when Lyon's (SPOILER)out of use after the Queen's Campaign

Entourage:

Cathari (Swooosh!!!! Double Speed ftw!)
Murad (SAFE-PLAY)
Marina (SAFE-PLAY)
Egbert (Money.....)

Sometimes, I change Egbert with Babbage for treasure!
And I use Takamu instead of Cathari until Cathari joined my party.
In the (SPOILER)New Game+, you inherit the double speed so I use Haleth (I want a discount!) or Babbage (SEE BABBAGE ABOVE)

I'm not spoiling anyone!

[Madame Adequate]

My primary party would probably be Faroush, Lyon, Belcoot, Nikea, Jeane or Zerase, and Viki, with support from Marina, Egbert, Takamu, and whoever comes to hand, or possibly Levi in case one of my mages gets low on magic (Rare, but not impossible).

Belcoot = total ownage. I've seen Belcoot parry something insane like ten attacks in a row, counter six of them, and be pretty much an entirely unstoppable powerhouse.

[Darkbeat]

Belcoot is really awesome in battles...but then you should definitely use Richard. Major powerhouse with his Swallow Rune. Not like the Swalklow Rune in Tactics though, but damn...the guy pwned major ass in combat!

[BG-57]

And if Mueller regards Richard as a wimp, I shudder to think what he himself would have been like as a regular party member!

[Darkbeat]

Whahahaha Mueller indeed saw him as a wimp, but seriously he's a damn powerhouse, just not one of the brightest though :P
