I doubt that since Neclord, Yuber, and Windy were always together for the most part.
I hope everything is going delicious.

Hey guys. I'm making a Sun Rune print in my printmaking class. If anyone is interested, check this: http://suikoden.us/images/runes/sunrune.jpg out. It's not finished, and it's on bad paper. I'll post updates soon. Maybe I'll even give a few prints away.

I agree. It was confusing and somewhat frustrating on how Konmai had set Suikoden IV way before the other series. Hopefully, this WILL be set after Suikoden III...maybe Chris, Hugo, and GEddoe will make another appearance if that happens.

Actually it is possible that Ted met up with Neclord, but it is rather unlikely. Neclord, Windy and Yuber were together alot, but they weren't tied at the hip. It is known that Neclord took on various ventures on his own..his involvement with the Marley Family comes to mind and his destruction of Northwindow. And I seriously doubt Yuber stayed in contact with Windy until Yuber was needed.

Depending on when they set the timeline could factor if Neclord appears yet again. Will he appear¿ hopefully not, his days of causing trouble are over (possibly some new vampire introduced.) If he does and the timeline is after Suikoden III, that would mean that yet again, the real Neclord wasn't caught. Seeing how they caught him in Suikoden II, did seem like the final nail in the coffin.

I think the true sun rune is used to keep vampires away from falena. Why does the rune shine on top of that castle at night. Maybe it also acts like a lighthouse.

Well, runic vampires such as the ones in the Suikoden World aren't destroyed by the sun. They are simply weakened by it, but that is only a minor annoyance for them. They could easily survive in Falena even if the Sun Rune caused for the palace to shine day and night. And we can clearly see in the screenshot that it does not completely illuminate the whole Queendom as it is clearly night time in that screenshot.

Vampires appear at night. Sun rune shine on top of castle during the night to keep the vampires away :roll: Is it really the sun rune above the castle? why does it look like a bright square shield? There's no sun rune sign on it either.

But I don't understand what you're basing this speculation on. For all we know there might not even be any vampires in Falena. You gotta base your speculation on something dude.

The fact is that it wouldn't matter. Vampires don't fear the sun in the Suikoden World. They would just walk in there no matter if the Sun Rune was present or not.

You have a point there, but based on Yuber's past actions it seems that he would stay with whoever summoned him until they were in danger of being defeated. Otherwise, I think we'd see a lot more of him going around causing chaos on his own, but we've never seen or heard of an instance of him doing such a thing.
I hope everything is going delicious.

Vampires COULD be in this game, but I doubt it. With the fact that the Sun doesn;t bother them, it wouldn't make sens for them to be in this game, unless there's some kind of power that repels vampires and the Blue Moon Rune. Otherwise, it wouldn't make much sense.
