Experienced Suikoden Player Facepalm

[Piisuke]

Couldn't get past the painting puzzle in Neclord's castle in Suikoden I, due to lack of understanding the English language at the time. I was about 13 years old, or something.

^Aren't you an Englishman? You live in London?

Living in the UK =/= Born in the UK

I used to think the white thing on the CutRabbit's forehead was a giant eyeball or something.

Wait WHAT lol. They always creeped me out because they looked like mutants with this giant eye. And now I see that it is... does he wear bangs? what is it?

But omg.

It's a helmet/plate thing. And I didn't realize this until I played the PC version with it's clearer sprites.

Looks more like a glove. But you're right, in this version it's pretty clear. Pew, now they're not as strange as before, thanks Raww.

Ohhhh... I thought it was like a quif, or something...

I thought Riou's circulet made him look like he was crying or extremely miserable. Really bothered me for awhile.

I thought runes were consumable items in your inventory that you access through your runes option. It didn't help Jowy had a Flaming Arrows scroll. I disliked consumable attacking items in most RPGs so when I found my first rune shop I ignored it. It wasn't until I watched some videos when I was stuck on the abomination I learned about how runes worked.

I just had a dumb moment I thought i'd share.

I just cleared the Dwarf vault in suikoden 1 and got back to the village of the dwarves. I was looking through my inventory, checking what items I should keep hold of ready for when I take Pannu Yakuta, and I thought I should hand the Killer Crystal over to Gremio so I could give it to Kurmomi later. Trouble is, I had forgotten that I was not in the inventory menu, I was in the shopping menu. So as soon as I selected the Killer rune it got sold to the dwarvern shopkeeper.
And because it's not Skyrim, I can't buy it back off the shopkeeper.
And I hadn't saved since before going into the vault, so if I wanted the killer crystal back, I would have to reload to before going into the vault (which was only about 20 mins ago, but I really can't be bothered.)
So I'm letting it go. Killer runes aren't that good any way. If it were the sun beam crystal ,then I might have reloaded.

Came from standard RPG of SNES/Genesis and FF, Suikoden's rune system confuses me a lot at first.

This dungeon is the most tedious of the game, ain't it? It don't know why but I find it particularily annoying. Something about the horrible colour of the walls and floor, perhaps. There's a claustrophobic feeling in the dwarf's vault that you don't even find in caves.

Exactly, the dwarves vault has a horrible design. At least the caves have some nice rocky textures, and the castles have pretty furnishings, they're a bit more airy. But the vault is very drab and sega megadrive-ish, looks like a factory or spaceship dungeon that belongs in one of those old Phantasy Star games. I just wanna get it over and done with every time that part of the game comes up.

Facepalm of the day, no pun intended: I noticed for the first time that, in Suikoden 2, when you defeat Antonio in the cooking contest, he doesn't facepalm like other chefs, he just shrugs and tilts his head in a very Italian fashion

Perhaps something to add somewhere to the website ? (I sometimes feel like we are doing the exegesis of suikoden here)
