True Rune In The Head

[manga4micah]

Why are all the True Runes in the hands of the Hero/Bad Guy ? Why not in the next game or a upcoming game they make a character with a True Rune in his/her head.
I think that would be cool they would have the Rune mark on there forehead and there head would light up when they unleashed the True Runes power.
But really is there a reason for the True Runes always being on the main characters hands?

Oh this sounds so familiar... where did I see this... oh yeah. It's called Suikoden V.

the queen Arshtat bore the Sun Rune on her forehead

amazing how you requested something that actually already happened

[highwind44029]

Yeah, the Sun Rune is a Head Rune. The Gate Rune might be one, too.

Was gonna say this, and yea, the Gate Rune should be one too. It doesn't make sense if the Gate Rune wasn't :p

Leknaat's Gate rune is actually on her chest I think, the thing on her head is either a different rune or just for show.

[Runemaster]

Chest??? Isn't it at her forehead? The symbols just may not look very alike like the thing on Arshtat's forehead: doesn't look like it, but it's the Sun Rune.
I reallly think it's on her forehead.

No, that's just some gem for show.

If not, it's just not consistent with how True Runes always look impossibly more intricate in design than their regular rune equivalent. The Pale/Blue Gate Rune already looks intricate, so it's likely that Oppenheimer has the right guess. If not, why didn't Windy have the emblem of the Back Gate Rune on her forehead, either?

Maybe she's got her rune at the bakc of her head?^^

But actually, it's quite random to where the Rune is. I guess that every True Rune has its own will as where it is placed(I dunno if that's right, the only True Runes we have seen on two different characters were the Soul Eater and the Rune of Punishment)...

[manga4micah]

Oh yeah i completely forgot about Arshtat having the sun rune in her head oops...
Well i was actually thinking about the Hero of the game having a True Rune in his head...

Ooh.. Then it could be anywhere on her body asight from her chest...

I was trying to figure out where I had heard about Leknaat's rune being on her chest and I found this thread at Suikox about it:

It's an interesting read about the subject anyway.

Hmm... I see... Where could've that idea/speculation come from...? Maybe it was announced by Konami..???????

Runes with greater power takes place in the head or other vital body part, right? Isn't it always like that? In the game, you can only put Pale Gate Rune in the head because it's basically stronger than the other rune.

I'm not saying that the Sun Rune is the most powerful of the other True Runes we have seen so far, but maybe the fact that it can unleash more power (either by itself or because of the bearer's power) than the others makes it rest on the bearer's forehead.
