Suikoden IV stuff
Finally finished Suikoden IV. Thoughts are under the cut.
There's a very ... unpolished feeling to the ending. There are some questions that I have that I'm hoping will be addressed in Rhapsodia. Such as...
1.) Who the heck is Troy and what exactly is so special about him? Child of the Sea God? Huh?
2.) Where did Colton and Helmut disappear to?
3.) Is the prince of Obel still alive?
4.) Did Troy die? If so, that was quite possibly the stupidest "dramatic" death I have ever, ever seen in a video game.
I was amused to see such blatant references to the other Suikoden games, such as ancestors of Camille and Maximilian, Reinbach's presence, and Cedric's "True Holy Rune." If Schtolteheim Reinbach III became a "classic hero" because of Micky's stories, I can only imagine what Milich Oppenheimer's stories will lead to for him.
Detachment party: Kika, Akaghi, Mizuki, Kate
Final party: Roan (hero), Snowe, Helmut, Ted
Ted's kinda a given, with Soul Eater... Snowe was a friggin' tank once I buffed him up. Helmut seemed to be one of the more well-rounded characters in the game, so he was a welcome addition for Rune Unites... The giant tree was a stupid, stupid boss. And friggin' easy. I just threw Fury and Double-Strike Runes on Snowe and let him and the hero go at 'im with True Friends Attack. Quickest final boss I've fought since ... Atelier Iris. >_> Helmut and Ted were almost unnecessary for that battle.
Favorite characters of the game: Helmut, Colton, Kika, Nalkul, Snowe. Troy would make the list if I actually knew something about him.
Unsurprisingly, certain aspects of the game have left me with ideas. I see absolutely no pairings in this game, though. It's ... very weird.
