Episode 1 is out
very homo
>>291378952It kept getting worse in the game.
Am I supposed to know what's going on?
>>291379047I guess you shouldn't bother with this one if you haven't played the game.
>>291378847But why.Why at this point. For wat purpose? Theres no more new game, nothing to promote.
>>291378952>>291379007Protagonist is not gay, he fucks his sister.
>>291379066There is the new mobile game. English release soon (tm).
>>291379092Proof?
>>291379066Konami has been making an effort to revive the series, they released a gacha game a few months ago but it's still JP only.
>>291379047No, the game tells you later what the conflict is all about.
They should make Suikoden anime, but based off the novel.
>>291378952i hope this adaptation inspires more fujo art for this series
cute
>>291378847dropped
>>291379047by that point you've had some minor npc chatter in the game so not really.
>>291379145>suikoden>furry complaintsbruh...
>>291379066New mobile game, HD remake of the first two games, new stage play, and Konami making an "effort" to revive the series
Man, this is for people who played the games through and throughThere are references to Suikoden 1 with zero context
Is anyone else's video skipping around a little?
>>291379250>HD remakereally? damn, big if true. always wanted to play them
>>291379267are you watching it on stream or downloaded from nyaa?
>>291379283Downloaded. It's the ToonsHub release.
slut
>>291378847I remember being a kid, watching the opening FMVs for Suikoden III and Suikogaiden on youtube and wishing they’d make a full animeThis is decent but it doesn’t even come close to their quality
>>291379250>>291379272I'm sorry, that was a typo. I meant remaster. https://store.steampowered.com/app/1932640/Suikoden_III_HD_Remaster_Gate_Rune_and_Dunan_Unification_Wars/
>>291379299Best girlCanon wife
Is this just going to be them getting locked up in prison every episode?
>>291378847>another fucking isekai walled cityIt's all so tiresome.
LMAO
>>291379423
>>291379303Do you think they'll keep her sucking that guard off?
so it's 24 episodes uh
>>291379441wat
>>291379441They changed the scene on the anime>>29137944823 episodes
>>291379096True ending when you gather 108 Stars.>>291379299>>291379355Nanami is canon wife, Eilie grts separated from protagonist unfortunately. I like both of them. Both wife material.
Is my boy McDohl in this
>>291379453There's a scene at the start where they need to go through a pass. She asks one of them to go off with her for a minute and when they get back he lets you through. Pic related is all she says about it, there's no fake-out joke.
>>291379519>optional stuff which doesn't happen until about halfway in the gameWho knows
>>291379529How do you even do that in just one minute?
>>291379519It's only the first episode, but if they want to explain Flik and Viktor’s backstory to people who never played the first game, they have to at least mention the guy.
>>291379528They crushed 2 hours in 20 minutes?
>>291379593She's a very good conversationalist
>>291378847>suikoden
>>291379654Double length ep
>>291379654I'm guessing they're crunching 2-3 hours into an episode, so the whole game will be adapted without rushing things but they'll leave out the missable characters and sidequests. So far I am happy with the pace
So should I pay Suikoden I first, or just II?
I will never play a turn-based jRPG
>>291379727*play
>>291379727You can get everything first time in <30 hours.And it has more soul
>>291378952is it actually gay?
>>291379786very
>>291378847Why didn't they do the first game, then the 2nd, then the 3rd? It would be 3 seasons of absolute kino as you watch Luc slowly lose his sanity over a 35 year period.
>>291379727S1 is short, about 20h. S2 is a fucking masterpiece. For the sake of catching up to the tr*nnime, you can just play S2 first, it's not a direct sequel
I haven’t played the game in 2 decades, but every moment is still fresh in my mind. Good stuff
if this turns out good, I hope sqeenix does the same too. If so, FFV is much better suited to have an anime. But who am I kidding, if sqeenix makes a FF anime, they'll rape FFVII's story again
>>291379931I love the remakes.
>>291379931But there’s already an FFV anime, anon
>>291378847LETS GO I only played the game this year for the first time
Be happy that we get to see Pilika animated and all of her suffering.
>>291378847Feet status?
>>291379303They ruined these two and changed the guard scene... not that I would have expected anything different but still sad.
>>291378952>>291378847but it's Suikoden 2? brohood! >i wonder if they will use the "good" ending or the bad one.nice. will torrentz.>>291379047i mean it happened the same way in the /vr/ too...
>>291379107>make Suikoden anime, but based off the Suikoden 3 manga.desu fixed.>>291379128brat correction needed.
>>2913797271 is really short and charming as fuck.
>>291379250>new stage play,this will be as cringed as Oshi Koi and COLD STEEL.>>291379303reject gypsies
>>291379931>FFV is much better suited to have an anime.there's already an evil tree animes.
how far did it go? will the oink oink scene be in?
>>291381266Here’s a neat fact: the mangaka behind the Suikoden 3 manga also worked on the Star Leap one, which ended last monthhttps://mangadot.net/manga/26586
never expected nanami to make me hard in 2026
https://x.com/Suikoden_anime/status/2106398888555077856https://www.youtube.com/@SuikodenTheAnime-ENStreaming outside France and Southeast Asia will start on the 6th at their YouTube channel. Next episode is scheduled on the 13th anyway.
>>291379727I highly recommend playing 1 first just so you get Flik's background and enable the Kasumi-Tir McDohl's extra romantic scene.
Did they make Viktor more handsome? I remember him looking extremely fat and slavic.
>>291379423Wow look at those Playstation 1 graphics!
>>291379786No, he has female love interest. Fujos are schizos.
>>291381009
>>291381009We can't have nice things anymore.
>>291379047>uhhh he needs to spend 10 minutes on expository world building dialogueFuck off Sanderson
>>291381009It's pretty clear the brother got it the worst of the 3 unless he takes his shirt and he's like in the game.
>>291379303>>291379299not brown enough
>>291379303that's not Bolgan
>>291379699Even with a double length episode this pace is absurd
>>291379423HARDCORE PARKOUR
>>291379299She's a virgin. I'm pretty sure she's one of the girls who can get the unicorn.
>>291383653I remember reloading a save and taking every girl to find out which ones are virgins.
>>291379654it's 50 minutes
>>291379303weren't they supposed to be gypsies, darker skin tone and all that?
>>291383775Who are virgins and who are not is fairly predictable but the unicorn has an unique dialogue with Serra.
>>291384068Yeah I was trying to remember what that was about, but it's been 20 years since I played it. I did buy the remasters, I will play them sooner or later.
Kasumi is best girl
>>291384175just for you mate
>>291384175>>29138440590s twig girl...
>>291384175>>291384405>cute ninja girl arbitrarily separates from tir because muh tragedy>cute gypsy girl arbitrarily separates from riliu because muh journeyI hate this. It sucks. At least Frey gets to keep his cute bodyguard girl. And no, that dog thing is NOT canon! So stop!
who does Jowy end up wife-ing, Pilika?
>>291384717Technically Jillia but only ceremonially. He doesn't actually wife any female, instead he kind of third wheels with Riliu and Nanami. Or Nanami is the third wheel if you're one of those types, but I doubt it and I'm not into it.
>>291384621yeah, everyone's so thick and busty nowadays. take me back.
I like how Riliu (RIP Riou) actually has a personality in this
>>291381802>Star Leap never heard of it. shill me on it
>>291381920only 3 day delay? if there was some exclusivity deal, it's usually 1 week.
>>291384837He's a bit dumb though. Maybe more than a bit.
>>291384698>And no, that dog thing is NOT canon!qrd?
>>291384068>the unicorn has an unique dialogue with Serra.i never tried. is her pussy too old and stanky for the unicorn?
>>291379423another studio fails at going GoHands.
>>291384988Infamous Suikoden V doujin where the main heroine and most popular sub heroine get knotted by a pack of chad bodybuilder dogs
>>291385028Yes. The unicorn mistakes her for a maiden but apologizes and no way fag'd her. She gets mad at him.
>>291380343she's so cute I hope nothing bad happens to her
>>291384698Why do games fixate so much on MUH FWIEND to the point where the hero feels like the sidekick. Soul Eater was one thing but Riou is just a complete pud. I vastly prefer the non 108 star ending for 2.
>>291385549It's okay when it's a girl fwiend imo
>>291385549!!! spoiler alart !!!
>>291385280based horse brah
>MC is named and it's not what I named himDropped
>>291385549 fake spoiler: the ending is a 3some hentai scene if you collect all 108 heroes of le destiny and all 5 flying rats. (https://i.4cdn.org/a/1791041503735885.png)
>>291385681i named him Goku.
Are 3-5 worth playing?
>>291385911Depends on how much you like the genre3 is weird, that's it's strength and weakness.4 is basic and slow, but the naval battles were the best big battles in the series5 is good
>>291386184I play nothing but JRPGs and visual novels. I tried Suikoden III after beating the first two but it's pretty clunky.
>>291384698Everyone close to Tir dies because of his runeRiou is motivated by family.You romance fags are lonely.
>>291386268Combat gets better later when the skills/stats mechanics bloom. Thanks to the multi hero system it will take a while.Plot is always a bit wonky.Big battles are boring and slow every time.I've seen people defend 4 over 3 because at least you can play it normal.Both hurt the series enough for 5 being the last one when it's the better of the three.
>>291386317human brains are hardcoded for romance, don't pretend to be a contrarian
>>291386409You are just a lonely shiptroon
>>291379423FORCED ANIMATION
>>291386409It's just the usual projecting retard
>>291384698>cute gypsy girl arbitrarily separates from riliu because muh journeyThere's literally nothing in the game that hints Riou gave a shit about any girl in the game. In the bad ending, he runs off to live in the woods with Nanami and Wakaba. Not gypsy
>>291386442fuck off /v/ermin
>>291386409I wouldn't really mind so much if the games didn't go out of the way to explicitly have a cute girl who was into the hero
Is this BL?
>>291386487>There's literally nothing in the game that hints Riou gave a shit about any girl in the game.Other than Nanami, I guess that's what you mean.
>>291387196no
>>291387196No but it has A LOT of BL fangirls in the fanbase
>>291387196I wish
>>291387052>Jowy couldn't protect that smile
>>291387196it's doomed BL
>>291386268Suikoden III is great if you get the special ending because then you can play the story all over again through the villain's PoV.I'd recommend you to play the first 2 before though because III's villain is a somewhat important hero on the first 2 games.
>>291387295>>291387302>no>Riliu spends the whole episode fawning after Jowy and wondering where's Jowy when he isn't with him
>>291378847How much does this follow Water Margin, if at all?
>>291388190Only in name and two concepts: the 108 stars and a war.
>>291388049That's just BROmance, anon. It will only get worse from here.
>>291387475>III's villain is a somewhat important hero on the first 2 games.dindu nuffin wong.>>291378847The slow sword penetrates the shield! (no homo)was that Joey's family name in the game? i forgot.
>>291387302Probably because the first, second and fourth game features BL bait as the main story.
>>291387052I felt bad when she trusted jowy. Hope nash makes the cameo and finds the bear.
>>291389056>was that Joey's family name in the game? i forgot.Yes.
>>291379475Only if you don't skimp out on that armor!Where the fuck are the RPGs making use of gameplay mechanics to affect the actual narrative these days? This whole "separation of story and gameplay" thing is a retarded concept and it's annoying that it took root so strongly in the 21st century, especially among the nipponese.
>>291379593>he can't cum in one minuteAre you even trying?
He?
>>291384698Cutest main character love interest is from Suikoden III. Every lord needs a loli guard for his castle.
>>291385911>>291386184>>291386268I prefer 3 over 4. It takes some time to learn the new controls and mechanics and it's slow, but the soul of the two classic Suikoden is there.
>>291392036No kidding, I always used the castle bath to know for certain if some characters are male or female.
there's Luc!
She will be raped.
I see, I see.
I don't remember the braided faggot hunting our heroes, is he an OC?
Where is Lady Chris?
>>291392540On a distant country.
You, fag!
>>291392685Why are those mob girls looking like they're seeing a rapeable shota?
>>291378847I really hope that whoever they got to make the subs had at least played through the whole game once.
Wait really? suikoden 2 is my favorite game of all time
>>291392498it's Kage
>>291378847Isn't the jowi story suikoden 2 or is my memory off?
>>291393950Yes, it's a Suikoden II adaptation.
Can they do Luca Bright justice? He's probably the coolest antagonist of any game.
>>291392540Here's an unofficial map. Most of the story in 2 takes place in the Dunan Republic. Chris is all the way West, probably in the Zexen capital at the time. Also, the time difference between 2 and 3 is like 15 years, so she's not showing up.Adapting 3 would be great.
>>291394495Oh okay, she was my favorite character.
>>291394495what's on the western continentand what about that nameless eastern continent
>>291394676>what's on the western continentAmerica
>>291394913
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ua25Wj5iapoBest OST>>2913944954 looks really small aside too much water compared to other games. Too bad the original creator had already passed away so it's hard to say whether Star Leap is canon or not.
>>291395214he left Konami before 4 and 5 were made, so it's no less canon than them
How did a shithole like Tinto produce this angel?
Is this actually adapting the whole thing? Will it get to Sierra?
>>291379529In my 20s and earlier Rina would have taken her clothes off and I probably would have had to bite my hand or some shit to keep from cumming. A minute long surprise blowjob at work is more than enough.>>291379519Would be really shitty if not.>>291379693Holy fuck I beat Suikoden when I was fucking 9, I hate how retarded people are.>>291379727You can legit 100% the game (there's missables though) in a blind playthrough in under 19 hours.>>291379931FFV has an anime. It's the first actual story sequel to an FF game.>>291384175She's up there. But Jeane is waifu. They better give her a sultry VA and loads of screentime
>>2913953722 cours, 23 episodes in total
>>2913859114 is underrated and just about the only pirate themed non-indie JRPG>>291392036Imagine my surprise when "she" turns into a grown ass man in Suikoden 3. You can do bath scenes that separate the characters by sex into the different bath houses, but I thought "she" was just being silly going into the boy's bath.>>291392540Currently being a loli, this is 15 years before Suikoden 3>>291394113Literally the popularity of this anime and the future of this franchise depends on them nailing Luca properly
This anime adaptation is dogshit
>>291392036Don't worry, every first-time player mistook him for a girl in IIHe would grow up to look like this in III
>>2913859113 is a brilliant idea executed terribly. On all levels.5 is a solid idea, executed solidly4 has sailing worse than Wind Waker, only 4 people to a party, underwhelming graphics, and a story that feels abridged
>>291395372Director already said it would be impossible to show the 108 characters so don't get your hopes that everyone will show even if they cover the whole main story.
>>291387324>tfw you're no longer the most popular Nanami around
Unfortunately, Luca will never have the opportunity to kill the thugs' leader. This war starts because of Muse scums.
I'm hoping for a Nash cameo
>>291392262Yeah, you can tell 90% of the game is still directed by the same guy who made 1 and 2It's the classic fumble when doing 2d to 3d switch, plagued so many big franchises back in the day. some never recovered.still think it's worth playing and better than majority of the later entries, though it takes a lot of time to get used to
How did they put a deep gouge in a boulder with a knife? It was even mint condition after that.
>>291396563superior Highlandese steel folded 1000 times
>>291379727I haven't finished 2 yet but I played 1 when the remaster came out and enjoyed it a lot so I'd say it's worth it. From what I understand a lot of characters from 1 come back in 2 anyway.
>>291396563>I am OK with teenagers casually jumping twice the current Olympic world record for both height and distance >But metal cutting through stone? In MY ultra-realistic™ fantasy world? Now THAT goes too far!
>>291396379No way they are going to cut the entire vampire arc.
>>291392453Down the throat.
>>291396563You can grind the highland soldiers up to lvl 11 before that scene so they are much stronger than your average human
>>291396837>>291396379Sierra is part of the main quest and one of the most popular characters who also appears extensively in the japan only PS1 visual novels and marries a character from Suikoden 3Shes in dont be dumb
>>291379519Only if you import your save.
>>291379128Kung Fu Djeeta
Will they show combination attacks?
>>291379107Giant Robo has a bunch of Suikoden (the manga based on the novel) characters as the side cast, especially in the last two episodes.
>>291397293anon those are from the suikoden manga
>>291397293>>291397321whoops never mind I'm a speedreading retard
>>291379306omg that url baited me.i thought it said Suikoden III and got excitedFOR NOTHING
>>291396379It's a funny adaptation because it has so much content that what they choose to adapt probably comes down to a popularity contest of the most well-liked/memorable characters.
Those 90s-2000s JRPGs just have a different aura compared to the wave of narou-kei isekais.I was playing Trails in the Sky and it's so charming.
>>291397718Old JRPGs have a sense of adventure that new ones aren't managing to replicate.
>>291396563Yeah the cut was exaggerated
>>291396837While I like Neclord's arc, that is one place I would consider cutting off if I were the director and had to make room for the rest of the story.
>>291397895>Due to production issues, we had to remove the Tinto arc. Instead, please enjoy 2 full episodes of chinchirorin.
>>291397141>marries a character from Suikoden 3wait WHAT
>>291398274The first suikogaiden is the prequel to suikoden 2 and is a romance story between the harmonian spy guy and Sierra
>>291397895But that would cut a lot of Nanami and Riou's character development. Especially the part where Nanami and Riou could've ran away from the zombie conflict and left them all to die lmao.
>>291392262>I prefer 3 over 4Doesn't everyone? 4 is the worst mainline game in the franchise.
>>291398274The one who got raped in the Summer of 460
>>291397895I'll fucking kill them if they cut Sierra.>>291398274Nash, from Chris's story in III, is strongly implied to be her husband. He's the main character of the spin-off VN's and she's basically the main heroine.
>>291397895They might shorten/simplify it but there's no fucking way they're not including Sierra in the showalso if it's true that Ridley's death is considered canon then they will also include that.
>>291386317Not because of his rune, but because he's immortal while he has it on. It gains power from people close to him dying.
>>291396837>>291397141i don't think she was in the OP song so....
>>291400834Tons of characters that definitely aren't being cut weren't in either the OP or ED. They'll probably have different ones for the second cour anyway.
>>291388481FFS well lets see how bad it will get, now it seems I have to drop it.>>291392036Is it really that bad in the Niplands now.>Seitokai ni mo Ana waTraps and THEY THEY THEY THEY> Marronnier Oukoku no Shichinin no KishiDraw girl. call it boy.Or is it the woke subs? I dont want to learn moon rune.
>>291401838the shota medic is definitely a he in the games.
Neclord while retarded is unironically important to multiple people's character development. What they should cut is the Kobold shit or rewrite the Greenfield school autism arc.
>>291401986Greenfield should be cut over Neclord (they won't because this arrested development audience loves their fucking out of place school arcs), but if they weren't ready to do a full adaptation they shouldn't have bothered.
>>291401986They could just cut-off like 90% of Hix and Tengaar's unicorn quest. It's so fucking dumb.
>>291402143i want anime unicorn to call Sierra a smelly old cunt.
>>291402222i love the middle skool grills but their subplots hardly mattered.
>>291401986he'll also be there when the group is getting the castle, would be weird if they don't settle the match with him later on (unless they will kill him there, which would be anti climactic)
>>291402245more than half the shit in the game doesn't really matter but it's very fun and the girls are hot
I really doubt they'd be cutting story arcs from the game, the pace so far has been pretty quick, and they have 23 episodes to cover the whole story.It seems more likely that they're adding in new anime only scenes from what we've seen from the first episode to pad out the anime.
>>291400136>main heroine is used goodsYou can skip it
>They didn't fight a mist boss monster while traveling through the pass to Kyaro0/10 another bad video game to anime adaptation
>>291402734They will cut a lot of bosses like Mist Monster, Giant Rat, Twin Head Snake, Caterpillar, Rock Golem, and other unimportant shit.
>>291402734brother they skipped Rina sucking that guard's cock, it's immediately -10/10
>>291399138Nanami sucks so much. The fact that in the best ending she just ditched all her loved ones without a word and let them think she’s fucking dead is appalling.>b-but fighting is hardBitch could have sat in the castle and grown vegetables or something.
>>291402811Calm down Mr. Guard.
Not only is the pacing lightning fast, it's also schizophrenic. I can imagine the gate waiting scene having random flashbacks and flashforwards while also lasting 1 minute long.
>>291402842yeah the whole "pretending to be dead" thing was fucked up, imagine if because of it instead of keep fighting Riou just broke down cause his only family left is dead and his best friend is committing war crimes
Are the ninja assassin and this woman new anime only characters or are they from the spinoff Suikoden 2 game?
>>291403090I have a feeling they're related to the gacha instead
>>291403090He cute
>>291399138Unironically love this ending
>>291379423Still better than the Julius fight scene from Re:Zero. kek
>>291402811I liked how they expanded the troupe helping Riou and Jowy escape from Kyaro.
>>291378847my only fear is the budget. I guess they didn't frontload the hour opening, but still. this is rough.
>>291403090which is a good question. are they going to be incorporating gaiden stuff?
>>291403623looks like a normal frame to me? how about you download your anime instead of streaming in some janky pirate site?
>>291400136>Nash, from Chris's story in III, is strongly implied to be her husband. He's the main character of the spin-off VN's and she's basically the main heroine.Wonder if Sierra turned Nash into a vampire when they got married. Guy doesn't seem to have aged a day since the Dunan Unification War, and putting him in the Neclord play has him constantly complaining about Old Hag Sierra sucking people's blood.
>>291401838fuck off tourist
The new original characters really stand out, don’t they?Everyone has a very late 90s look, then there’s the tanned blue-haired ninja kid and the female captain
>>291406044those two are not original characters
>>291401838>now.What do you mean "now"?
>>291406373you're replying to an obvious tourist
>>291406264Yes they areThis "Kage" is not the same Kage from Suikoden I
>>291378847I am just here to say I want to fuck Nanami. Riou should have fucked her lots...
>>291378847>localized as Riliu
Nanami's frame data got buffsHopefully the adaptation will treat her better.Why does a flying squirrel needs pants?
>>291408231The comedy is they got ALL existing protagonist's names wrong in Star Leap.>Suikoden I Hero (Rean / Tir McDohl's default derivative): Localized as Risel (from Rizeru / リゼル)>Suikoden II Hero (Riliu / Riou's default derivative): Localized as Reshtal (from Rishutāru / リシュタール)>Suikoden III Flame Champion: Localized as Rignis (from Rigunisu / リグニス)>Suikoden IV Hero: Localized as Risel / corresponding regional variations depending on asset context.>Suikoden V Hero (Freydan/Freyjadour derivative): Localized alongside specific series equivalents
>>291408736Star Leap has been confirmed to use AI translation, so you know they put as little effort as possible into getting it right
Pilika sexo. At least the girls are very cute. Looking forward to seeing Sierra and Viki...
>>291402842>>291403077You can't fully blame her, the Chinese Jew convinced her it was the best plan.
>>291379145Fuck you, Gengen and his Kobold friends are fun!https://www.youtube.com/shorts/WtZIyIZ7b2E
>>291402245I mean, in a game with 108 characters there are many that are just there and that's it.
>>291408231>>291408736The creators made it clear that none of the main heroes have canon names in the games so every derivative work is free to give them new names.
>>291405545>Guy doesn't seem to have aged a dayReally? I think he looks visibly older in III than he does in Gaiden. One would think that if he's a vampire by then, it would have come up.
>>291408402>Why does a flying squirrel needs pants?To hide his nuts
>>291411899*ba dum tss*
>>291378847Arakawa's hero tales was already an unofficial suikoden adaptadation in all but name.
>>291409280Enjoy her while she's still pure.
>>291378847I’m not sure when they started adding guest artists’ work at the end of episodes, but this is the second time I’ve seen it, and I’m into it (first was in The Ghost in the Shell)
>>291406044I actually thought it's a young Watari if not for the different hair color.
>>291406373>>291407190"Now" is for me when the nips started catering to the western MoDErn AuDIanCes" and despite them supposedly making more money now of the west they decided to change a running system.
>>291414518It's been happening for decades with specifics series.
Is this a sequel or a direct adaption of the game? I played them such a long time ago that I literally only remember the designs of the MCs
>>291415511Looks like a direct adaptation of the second game.
>>291379440Speedrun Strats the Animation
>>291378847So I've heard that this feels really rushed, there's an OC pretty boy antagonist for some reason and they changed the North Sparrow Pass scene so Rina isn't sucking the guy off anymore because everything has to be baby shit for children now. Do they at least use versions of the game OST which is one of the GOAT soundtracks or is it all shitty new (and likely worse) music? Have they ruined best girl Eilie?>>291379047That's literally the very beginning of the game so no. Suikoden are war epics that take place around fairly smallish land areas (like the entirety of S1 being around Lake Toran) compared to other JRPGs.>>291379475Suikoden has so many great girls, it's a shame most of them are kind of irrelevant beyond party fodder. I do wonder which characters will get more attention and which will just be there so all 108 Stars are there. I imagine Oulan will probably be around because big tittied muscle chick and bodyguard, Zamza for entertaining shit, but I can't imagine someone like Karen getting much of anything.
>>291379101
>>291383789Rina and Eilie are from the Grasslands which are basically a bunch of Native Americans/Mongolians and yeah most of the Grassland natives you see in S2 and S3 are darker skinned. I would say I'm surprised at how bad the character designs are (why does Bolgan have a cute babyface?) but it's about what I expect from modern anime, especially things that are probably lower budget.
>>291379519I'm never going to accept Rean and Riliu as the protags' names. It's been Tir and Riou for 30 fucking years why change it?
>>291416484It's actually been Hero and HeroII.
>>291416343Those complaints are overly exaggerated, yes, the pacing is rushed compared to all the text and quest in a video game and the Rina scene was always something implied offscreen, the OST is used with arranges and every character seems faithful besides minor visual details. Looks like you already know the game so I suggest you watch it and form your own opinion before using other posts as something to be cautious about.
>>291416484See >>291410798Those are light novel adaptation names. They also had different names in mangas back then. They wanted new ones for the anime and stage adaptation because every work is a different depiction.
>>291379727Play both. Suikoden I is fun and really short and you can get through it in a day at most. Suikoden II is probably the GOAT JRPG and one of the best stories ever written for a vidya. The only things that suck about both games are the war battles which are RPS in S1 and literal RNG and half-scripted bullshit in S2. Play the remasters since there's no real difference and they fix some minor things like the Blinking Mirror in S1 no longer taking up an item slot or S2 having an actual complete non-garbled translation and bug fixes like actually playing the music now.>>291379827S2 is a direct sequal to S1. You can play S2 without playing S1 but you're also missing context on certain things like Flik and Victor's background (and Flik's entire story with Nina) or why Leon Silverberg being around is a big deal or the entire Gregminster section that help things make more sense.>>291384175They have to go with her over Valeria in the anime right? Kasumi's way more popular and her presence would obviously add more weight to the Tir sidequest if they include it.>>291384698Lazlo's separated from his family and Millay for the same reason. Can't speak of Hugo but I assume he never hooked up with Meg's daughter.>>291385549Riou is literally just a mascot to rally the army around and isn't really cut out to be a war leader. He feels obligation to fulfill his role but is still constantly filled with doubt because it's not what he actually wants, he just wants a peaceful life with the people he cares about.
>>291400084I like 4 because it was my first one. I'd like to see it get a proper remake with better sailing and 6 party members and it'd be perfectly fine.I also jacked it so much to Ameria, Jewel and Wendel back in the day which might also influence my thoughts.
>>291396492All of that bloodshed and he couldn't even get revenge on the people who actually did the heinous act?
>>291395619I really like how Luca is a great example of how a villain doesn't have to necessarily be deep or misunderstood to be great and memorable. He's a simple character but everything about him is so ramped up that he becomes a force of nature. The entire section that revolves around taking him down is one of the most kino things ever put into a video game because he has so much build up as this unstoppable murder machine and then lives up to it.>>291396379The 108 characters is the entire hook. I can imagine that some will basically only get shown in passing just to say they're there but you can't actually not include all 108 even if it's just as scene filler in the castle.>>291402058You can't cut Greenfield because it's what introduces Teresa who's way too important of a character to the overall story. Nina is also fairly central to Flik's story too.>>291402842Nanami never wanted to be part of the war and was only doing it because she thought that she was helping Riou. She eventually realized that he had grown beyond needing his "big sister's" protection and in fact his worry for her was an active detriment to the entire war so she did the only thing she could think of. She reached her limit, had the sense to realize that she was more of a burden and so fucked off so they could win.
>>291417408I wonder who will they bring for the Greenhill section. Eilie is most likely an easy choice, but who will be others? Luc?
>>291417644Eilie is a given and I'd hope for Wakaba.
>>291416434>why does Bolgan have a cute babyface?Bolgan is only 16 years old
>>291418853He's a literal retarded oaf though. The designs in this show are really bad. Why is he wearing so much clothing? Why does Nanami have a crop top and pants that look like she pulled them from Hot Topic circa 2005? Why is Mukumuku wearing pants at all?
>>291378847It's definitely the wrong take but I always interpreted the story as Riou being manipulated into his role as leader by Shu and the other adults. The kid just wanted to live the simple life with his sister and best friend. I'd be so glad if they adapt the arc of him and Nanami fleeing the army even just as representation.
>>291378847In lieu of starting the anime I booted the game for the first time in many years last nightAs a kid I did not appreciate all the sprite work that goes onI'm pretty genuinely blown away by the amount of animation, as well as QoL features, and I'm only 90 minutes in
>>291416896Frey stays winning
>>291419229>Why does Nanami have a crop top and pants that look like she pulled them from Hot Topic circa 2005?Because if you don't shove fanservice into everything then the baby audience won't watch it.
I liked the episode Im worried about the budget though, Kyaro looked very bland it didnt give the rich alpine retreat town it did in gameAlso the rescue scene is better in game, with the lashings into Viktor and Flik defeating the soldiers off camera and Nanamis chuni joke is poorly executed, she is supposed to yell a ridiculous made up technique and intimidate soldiers where in the anime she actually uses it I really like the Jowy and Nanmi POV, you get to see more Pilka before she is traumatized and she is absolutely adorable in the anime The pacing could be slower it feels rushed too
White washed
>>291378847Adapting the second game?
>>291421860He can't keep getting away with it!
>>291421884Yeah, bro, that was the plan since the announcement last year. Also, read the thread.
I like Nanami's new outfit it seems more functional for martial arts >>291402811They decided to use that scene to introduce rune magic, I'm neutral about the change
>>291422052That's no excuse, she still could've sucked their cocks after putting them to sleep. It's pure censorship.
>>291422070Is sucking cocks all you can imagine? There are other things that could have happened to fill that adult conversation they had offscreen.
>>291422070Rina is a white girl in the anime not a filthy gypsy so it makes sense she doesnt whore herself
>>291422119Regardless, they didn't do any of it. Because censorship.
>>291378847>>291378952Aren't these the characters from Suikoden 2?
>>291378847The budget was shit and the story rushed. This fucking sucked donkey dick.
>>291422740Yes. Despite the name of the show, it's an adaptation of the second game. It's probably for the best; the plot and characters are generally better, and the second game is considered the best of the series.
>>291419735Nanami's introduction scene where she tackles Riou, shakes him, drags him around and splats him against a wall I think is the one thing you could show people to get across how nice the game looks. It's so expressively animated.
>>291421860Eilie is so perfect.
>>291422975It's also erotic
>>291402734Yet they made time for a couple of random CutRabbit random fights. Also, Leona didn't have much screentime. I haven't played every Suikoden so I was also wondering about the 2 possibly OC characters (the ninja and the female Unicorn Brigade commander who is Rowd's frenemy)
>>291424135The ninjas are very in the background, you see Jowy talking to one before he did the needful and I think they are also in the Suikogaiden VN
>>291424180I do vaguely remember those scenes but you have to admit that this possibly new ninja in the anime has never been shown in that part of the game which is what I'm wondering about.
>>291424180>>291424208Just another hole for Nash to conquer.
>>291425453>Nanamis face when she wipes my party out after misscasting her fire runeI swear she is more dangerous than Viki
>>291378847What happened to suikoden 1? Why start with 2?
>>291424234Nash's hole was conquered by a pack of Kobold
Will the best characters show up?
Speaking of Suikoden Star Leap, the final chapter of the manga came out todayhttps://comic-walker.com/detail/KC_007416_S/episodes/KC_0074160000700011_E?episodeType=firstthere's some familiar faces
>>291422975I believe I called it a day right before thatShut it down as soon as I made it to Kyaro
Lunar 2 anime when?
>>291417079Unfortunately, Darell died before the outbreak of war. He was the true villain in Suikoden II.
oh boy I sure hope nothing bad happens next episode
