I've often thought of a time rune being a logical next to step to the collection, as they do seem to follow along with the Infinity Gems. But the idea is just too overpowered. It's a life and death rune, just rewind time and bring someone back. You could literally alter anything with it. Make sure people are never born. It's just too much.

And as for the season rune... that's really complicated, I don't know if I'd ever want to use that over a good ole Wind Rune.

Well, you could have a Rune of Time, but to make it fit in, it'd have to be like the Night Rune or the Beast Rune. It basically refuses to attach itself to anyone, or even be used by anyone unless they offer it the proper sacrifices.

Or it could be split into two or three different child runes. One controlling seasons maybe, another being able to alter the flow of time (slowing down and speeding up) and another one that allows the bearer to view the past and possible future but not intervene.

The plot could be something like the antagonist has one of the runes and wants to unite the remaining ones together to form the True Time Rune and rule the suikoverse forever!

No, I think it would have to be a true rune. And if you're splitting it up, that would make the Beginning rune much less unique

And your plot makes it sounds like The Sun Rune and children runes. That stuff has been done.

I see your point but it would solve the too overpowered problem, besides alot of things in Suikoden have already been rehashed from the previous games why stop now?

Because then the series becomes stagnant and boring.

Well arguably it already has. Suikoden doesn't have alot of new places to go, Suikoden 5 proved that much. How many different ways can you raise an army and a HQ without it getting a bit repetitive?

I would rather have a rune that is split up into parts again then yet another annoying protector that dies and is ressurrected for a third time. Or another so called best mate/family member that betrays me only to come around in the end.

I guess so, but that makes for some interesting points. Altering the flow of time is really dangerous, and I guess someone who got the rune would use it often in the beginning, but starts to see it of a curse the longer he has it. It's less suited for the main hero, though.

I mean being overpowered is the essence of most True Runes. The Sun Rune had the power to devastate a huge part of a country, as did the True Fire Rune.

Yes, Suikoden V was quite guilty of playing the rehash card. But if you think that the series has already explored all possible paths, then you really need to expand your horizons.

Well

I thought one day, based on the context of the series that a WAR RUNE would fit well.
It would have a power based in empower a army. Someone with this rune get mastery in any kind of weapon, and could strenghten any weapon, gave to nearby choosen follower some kind of power up.
I even thought that Zexen could have this rune in it´s territory, besides it being unknown the correct place.
And a farmar could be the holder of this rune, running from any clashes to don´t show this dangerous rune to the corrupted government.

Manipulation Rune
A rune that controls it's victims' mind. You can use it to brainwash somebody into following you and doing whatever you tell them. Almost like playing a game!

Isn't that the Conquerer Rune that Windy used on Milich and Kwanda? By giving them "Black Runes", she was able to manipulate them with her Conquerer Rune. Even though it's not a true rune, I don't think another Conquerer Rune has been used in game other than Windy's use. I wonder just how unique it is.

Would be interesting if it had a parent rune, like the relationship between the Soul Eater and Darkness runes.

Oh yeah, the Black runes gave the generals power over monsters, didn't they? Do you suppose it was a similar kind of relationship between Badeaux's Howling Rune and the Listening Crystals? I think it would be nice if we got to see what other possibilities the existing runes have to offer. Especially the Dragon Rune - would love to see a story revolvong around that!
