I know gameplay-wise they did it so you can perform the Rush ability later...but plot-wise...well it just doesn't stick well.

Then i guess his punishment was pretty mild. Katarina told him, he should be glad they didn't have him beheaded. (Of course such thing couldn't occur, otherwise SIV would stop after Glen's death).sticky-runes wrote:The beginning of Tactics shows that Lazlo was developing his own duel fighting style from an early age. Maybe he bought the swords himself during his training days.
And where does it say they were supposed to give him a pocket knife or something? He was probably allowed to keep all of his personal possessions when he was exiled. The biggest disgrace for a knight would be getting expelled form the order and no longer being acknowledged as a knight of the realm. That's what they did to him - set him adrift far away from Razril so he could no longer serve his nation.
Indeed. When Jowy and Riou were still member of the Highland youth, they should use 1H swords like others. Just like Lazlo did during his knight days.Antimatzist wrote:You only need to play the prologue for that scene. I really guess they might be just his personal belongings.At least it makes more sense than in Suikoden II where the heroes use their personal weapons from the very beginning instead of their army weapons.
what makes less sense is the prince's choice of weapon in Suikoden 5. Why does he have a tri-bo when all the queen's knights use bladed weapons? Maybe Arshtat didn't want him use a blade as she felt that the prince shouldn't draw blood in combat or something, but who taught him to fight with that weapon? It's not like we ever meet any of his instructors (In Suikoden 1, Tir had Kai as an instructor) and yet Roy, who has had an entirely different upbringing to the prince, is able to use the same kind of weapon almost as well as him.Antimatzist wrote:You only need to play the prologue for that scene.

- Actually difficulty was extraordinary in Tactics. It took me many tries to finish each battle. Not to mention characters were getting killed way easily.sticky-runes wrote:Sasarai, you should definitely give Tactics another shot. It takes some getting used to if you haven't played other games with that sort of style combat, but once you get the hang of the controls it becomes very addictive. And while the story isn't great, it does tie up a few loose ends from Suikoden 4, and a lot of the characters get fleshed out more with dialogue that you see in battles and campfire scenes.

Gong back to Lazlo's fighting style, in the game's intro we see all the trainees together practicing the same move. so I guess it's compulsory for all knights to master that sword technique during the early stages of their career. Katarina is the only knight we see using a staff, so perhaps she used to use a sword during her training days, then eventually swapped it for a traditional mage's weapon.
