Speculation on Official Info Announcement

Champion Rune is no-encounter rune, but it only stops you from encountering lower level enemies, that don't contribute much in terms of EXP anyway.

So for that memory card file, the name is preset as 王子/Prince and it starts at the first save point with the Champion Rune.

Just using Pro Action Replay or whatever cheat device is popular with Japanese players is more efficient since you can choose any name and still get the Champion Rune by the first save point, provided you know what site to check for Japanese cheat codes(I don't).

Unless I'm reading too much into things, this memory-card bonus implies that there won't be an import-an-earlier-game-save option at the beginning of Suikoden V -- otherwise, they would've had to choose a name for the previous hero(es), as well. (Now I wonder how long it'll take before people say that 'Falshe' IS the official name for Suikoden V's hero...)
At any rate, I'm amused by King's comment on Suikoden I's 'overseas' packaging. It was kind of, uh, unique, wasn't it?

Not necessarily. This bonus save could easily be made up of a data without data transfer. In other words, you either choose between the Champion rune or the transfer bonus.

(Now I wonder how long it'll take before people say that 'Falshe' IS the official name for Suikoden V's hero...)

If the novel-only "Lazlo" went into use pretty much immediately, I don't see why a name that's published on the official site shouldn't.

King Blog Jan-21-2006 wrote:Accordingly, the name is already picked and it canâ€™t be changed mid-game. Unfortunately, the name â€œKonamiâ€ would be quite unfitting, so we assigned the name â€œPrinceâ€ for this product. From Arshetat and Felid, itâ€™s â€œFalshe.â€ Itâ€™s not the Princeâ€™s official name, but weâ€™re still wondering if it should be changed for strategy guides and such.

Why did they mention "Falshe" if they had already decided "Prince" to be the name of Hero V?

Could you post the link for the PSP news? The one in King blog. I'm currently at work and King Blog is blocked here.

â€Faluush" is just a name Konami chose to give the hero within the bonus save game data. They say in the blog that this is not an "official" name. However, it's probably a good name to use when referring to the hero.

Also, the PSP version release info is not true. The Blog makes it confusing by somehow linking to the official PSP version site, but he's only talking about how suikoden 1 has been released outside Japan, and that the US version had a strange CD cover.

Thanks Sars for clarifying things out

So would Faluush be a better translation of the name than Falshe. I know the name is just a combination of Felid's and Areshtat's names as it says in the blog.

I complained to them that people are misinterpreting the blog. They seem to have fixed the link though, it now directs to the official Suikoden 1 page.

The links for the new wallpapers have the names shu and lyon for Hero V and Rionne respectively. Shu could be the official name for Hero V. It sounds much better than Faluush or Falshe.

Hello, I am a french player of Suikoden, and I think ファルーシュ is a katakana transcription for the french word "farouche" that means timid or shy for a child, or fierce, savage... for a warrior.

Please excuse me if my english is poor.

Where did this Faluush and Falshe stuff come from?

Post by **patapi** » Mon Jan 23, 2006 12:30 pm

It's from the King's blog.

The links for the new wallpapers have the names shu and lyon for Hero V and Rionne respectively. Shu could be the official name for Hero V. It sounds much better than Faluush or Falshe.

Shu is short for "shujinkou", meaning "main character". This is the one official name for all Suikoden silent protagonists to date. Unfortunately, it's not a name.
