Seriously? I couldn't kill Jowy either. Yea, he was an
arse but I liked him. Cause deep down he was still a decent
fellow

I don't rememebr Riou very well though, was this the original
name for the main character mayhap??

The name came from Japanese novel published just like Tir did for suikoden 1.

The names became basically accepted,konami never gave official names to it's Hero's other then in Suikoden 3,Tactics,and both Gaiden Games.

Japan is so lucky to get every kind of suikoden themed merchandise it's not funny anymore they get spoiled while the rest of the world are lucky to get anything including the games themselves.

I guess we're equal to Harmonia's second class citizens,with Japan being the first class ones,unfortunately the rest of the world beyond gets the dreaded third class treatment getting next to nothing from konami.

Japan is so saturated with rpg games from so many companies based there,i guess sony just hasn't clued in that the real money is everywhere else in the world.

Square-Enix oviously knows that considering how successful it's rpg games are around the world.

Sony likes to use numbers of simular games sold in regions if they don't add up they reject any future games from going to places figuring it isn't worth the gamble.

Sony is the biggest hurdle for companies like Konami,Sony holds all the power for games on it's consoles worldwide they pick and choose who gets what games and who doesn't get them.

Microsoft i'm sure does the same with it's Xbox games,as for Nintendo it mainly makes it's own games and allows very little outside game makers to provide games for any of their consoles.

Very few games get to go multiplatform,because alot of them sign on as Exclusives to one console or another just to market their products.

Anyway i try not to kill Jowy either just to get the best ending,everything hangs in the balance with how fast your reply time in Rockaxe Castle to Nanami is and also having all 108 stars before that point as well.

When you return to your Headquarters after defeating the Beast Rune you must not enter the gathering/meeting hall you must leave the castle to meet Jowy on Tenzan Pass and make all the right replies during the duel as well.

I find with all the conditions you must meet that this one is so easy to mess up compared to the other games in the series.

You know, I've never been able to get the perfect ending in S2 yet despite how many times I've played the game. Of course, I never really use a faq when I play the game and I always have a character short when I do the rockaxe scene.

They should make a suikoden where the hero gets the rune of beginning, it wouldn't be the same as the BS and the S runes, it could be waay before 2,  4 even.
