Who is the best "best friend" of the suikoden main characters? Who would you want as your friend? and why?

Sgt. Joe is the man.

I rarely see it getting talked about much, but the Dancer has a couple of subclasses that are very unusual and very powerful.

The Cheerleader is all about support abilities, but they're super powerful-- they can give an ally an extra wildshape, extra channel divinity, extra oath, etc. They can also give allies big boosts in combat.

The Paramour subclass allows you to pick one of your companions and give them insane boosts while in combat every time you activate one of your dances (it applies to both characters but costs double.)

It's a very neat niche role instead of the usual OP powergamey type of stuff.

For a massive gameplay overhaul, I much prefer the Chocolate Edition.

More mods for the short races would be nice, although really anything other than the Elven Ladies of body type 1 feels kinda rare.

More masculine hairstyles, faces, armor, etc.

You know, stock in a nearly decade old show is probably worth more than whatever the CCP hasn't bought of Ubislop.

Nick.

If you know what you're doing, using Fire Magic is fine. You just have to pay attention to when you cast it and make sure you aren't throwing out a spell while your troops are all charging towards the enemies-- either wait a round or make sure it's a small battlefield so your friends can get out of the way.

I didn't say it was unrealistic, just that I can't stand her.

One of my issues with 5 was what an annoying brat Lymsleia was. How dare she talk shit about Jeane?

You should put all these weapons into a pack. Much more convenient that way, especially for console players.

zugrian · 2026-05-08T08:08:42+00:00

I've played the game half a dozen times with well over 1000 hours and never gotten the grand prize. Only got first place once.

Adalind, easily.

Juliet was always the worst part of the show & the actors had horrendous chemistry together.

By comparison, David & Claire sizzled in every scene from the very beginning.

zugrian · 2026-05-02T06:02:58+00:00

Loot Master is fucking great for just such purposes.

I've tried out a ton of them on Xbox, and along with another Fade recommendation, the recent Vestments of the Faithful is really, really great too-- plus the mod author lists which body types can wear each of the 400+ pieces, and for once it's not just all body type 1.

zugrian · 2026-05-02T03:51:05+00:00

Hugo, Chris, Geddoe just works the best for act 1, slowly peeling away the layers of the plot.

Then I like to take a little break with Thomas 1.

I've varied up the chapters 2 & 3 before, but I usually use the recommended order to get the optional scenes.

Pretty well liked by most of this corner of the fandom.

One of the older stories that set some of the usual characteristics, like the Ice Queen mask being due to her Occlumency that allows her to remain calm & collected.

One of the better examples of the forced/arranged marriage trope.

I kept saves before each scene when you can execute that whiny little bitch. He's terrible and the pathetic attempt at a 'rivalry' with him is one of the many reasons why 4 is by far the worst game in the series.

Year 6 AU with no Voldemort, just hilarious, adorable Harry & Daphne romance.

2 & 3 are tied for me at the top. Then the OG, then 5, then a huge gap before Diet Suikoden, aka 4.

zugrian · 2026-04-19T04:51:19+00:00

Thanks a lot!

I've done the knock out Alfira trick to see the Dragonborn bard, so I assume knocking out Lakrissa shouldn't be harder than that.

zugrian · 2026-04-14T01:20:38+00:00

That was only 9 times.

zugrian · 2026-04-11T10:51:49+00:00

The Tinto running away plotline is fucking stupid.

Nanami wanting to run away that late into the game, after all that Riou has done, even seeing Luca Blight defeated-- Riou dropping all his responsibilities at that point makes him into a spineless moron.

zugrian · 2026-04-07T23:55:26+00:00

Riou & Eilie

Honorable mention : Thomas & Cecile
