Hans, Tesla and the Artist who makes the statue in S2 (his name escapes me now) all seemed like they would know how to fight. I agree about Jeane, it bothered me she wasnt a fighter til 4



His name was Jude,but what kind of weapon he would use???


Another character who MUST be playable is Marlowe from S2,because he is the most useless SoD in the game. They could make him playable with a book as a weapon (like Alhazred from S5),like that scene with the zombies in Tinto,where he was fighting against them with a book,along with Koyu.

I don't know why the creators made him a SoD,since he doesn't fight in normal battles or in war battles,and he doesn't offers a certain service in the castle,plus his role in the main plot is very small,and after defeating Neclord he fades away...they should have someone like Rowd or Solon (if they didn't execute him),in his place. :D :D :D

Jude would use a hammer of course. He was a blacksmith as well, as that's what he taught in Greenhill. Tho I do have this mental image of him busting out a chizle and running up to an opponent and rapidly"carving' them as a skill rune ability. Maybe he could have had a unite with Tesla?

Oh yeah, I forgot. Alex! The innkeeper/merchant from 2! he lived alone in the forest with his wife and kids. Sure he could have gone to Muse for supplies on occasion, but he had to protect his home and family during that trip, as well as from possible ruffians occasioning his inn. He definitely should have been able to fight!

Tesla is not a SoD in S2. He will only appear when you visit Gregminster,and give you the Blinking Mirror. Unless you mean Tessai,the blacksmith in S2,so yes if both of them were playable they could have a unite attack..why not?

The other Elie from Suikoden II, I thought she was an interesting character.
Pohl as well was awesome and I thought he would join up eventually, I also thought he was a woman, but that's besides the point.

Noah from IV, I think would have been cool if playable. I was really hoping she'd be playable before the game came out, and was sad when she wasn't. I was overjoyed when she was playable in Tactics, even though she couldn't attack, just steal... but she was very useful in battle anyway. Especially with the mischief rune giving enemies status effects.

Nuzhat from Tierkreis I thought should have been playable, I just thought it would have made sense. Especially since her star is the same as Crowley, Levi, Mazus, Warlock and Sarah...

With the little amount of characters playable in Tsumugaresh, I think many characters I will find cool and wish could be playable..

I defnitly agree about Chuck. He has those nasty claws (or was it knuckle dusters?) on his hands which he uses to fight the prince, so you'd think he would make a useful party member. Yes, he has to mind the storage, but most of the other shopkeepers join you in S5, so wwhy not him?

Also, Egbert. He carries a sword. He takes part in major battles. He should be usable in combat, and he could probably have some sort of berserk rune that makes him go nuts against the enemy.

He would have a permanent spot in my party.

It would be nice to have playable all 108 stars plus some non-star characters too. That would be massive...after all everyone can fight in one way or another...for example Ridley could use his lash as weapon (the one during the scene with Fitcher in Two River),or Pico could use his guitar,etc.

This feature was used in S1,were characters who weren't fighters were playable...even Sansuke the bath-maker guy used a sword...after S2 it's started fading away,and in S3 characters like farmers,cooks,etc become supportive characters.

But since we cannot have it all it's still ok,because Suikoden has many playable characters in comparison with other RPGs.

And Euram too. He fights against you in Sable...if you remember, he leads a unit too in the battle at Rainwall before comfronting the Barows.
I cannot understand why they make him so useless after joining your army...he is the last recruit so he supposed to be more well-treated.... :(


It's just like Dios from S3. He is the last recruit along with Sasarai,and when he is your enemy he is a Unit leader,but when he joins you he doesn't even participate in war battles...that's a pity....

The most peculiar one to me was Guillaume. He actually had attack animations and multiple duels but didn't fight? That was odd.

The only one that I suppose disappointed me was Jeane. Sometimes a fighter and a top tier mage, sometimes not.

Marie was not a usable combat character, but she can be used in major battles (I always imagined her running across the battlefield with a rolling pin getting ready to beat an Imperial soldier's brains out!)

I always thought it was interesting that they allowed us to use regular handymen armed with everyday tools, (even Kimberly could join us with her kitchen knife) but yes, they do seem to have been reduced to passive supporting characters throughout the sequels.

Yeah, that always bugged me. He fights us outside of Sable, so he should have been an active party member. This is really the main reason I have never recruited him in S5 - I can either have him, or Eresh, a powerful sorceress. And suikoden 5 isn't exactly short on powerful spell casters, but still, the opportunity to reconcile Luserina with her brother was appealing, but not that appealing.

I actually read all the S3 mangas before playing the game, and Dios does get stuck in the action when he's protecting Sasarai, so I thought he would make an awesome party member. Imagine how disappointed I was when I finally played the game, and he turned out to be little more than a nanny.
