Suikoden's 5 of a kind

Post by MatildaWhiteKnightLeader »

each of the games in the series had a 5 of a kind (blacksmiths, squirrels, dogs, and mermaids).

what's the 5 of a kind in suikoden 5?

Chimps...... my money's on chimps. Talking ones to boot.

By the way I never noticed that 5 of a kind thing....very perceptive indeed.

5 theater members or some other sort of performers wouldn't be too bad actually. Could make for some fun times.

I think getting to 108 characters is a pretty tough job, so its not surprising some characters are just re-coloured copies.

You could argue that Kirkis, Sylvania, Stallion, and Rubi were better disguised copies of each other to flesh out space, or Kasumi, Kage, and the other red one all were astonishingly familiar. Not to mention the twin knights, or the Giant beasts in 2, or Tai Ho and Yam Koo. Event the animation was recycled on certain groups.

Actually, its pretty damning for the theory that suikoden boasts '108 characters to recruit!'

LGM-?????

Anyway, beavers don't sound interesting off the bat but i guess we'll have to wait to know how they'll factor into the plot of the game.
The mermaids helped create the diversion for the last ship battle in suikoden 4, besides selling you ornaments.
The dogs were cute. Koroku's flame was fun.
The squirrels came out of nowhere.
The blacksmiths were needed to upgrade weapons.

but that was during the 2d sprite days...it was easier to get away with that...but now in 3d you wouldnt be able to do so...unless its like dogs, becuz alot of them do look alike, or similar race like the mermaids...
