Not only in mythology, in suikoden series they are two diferent creatures.BrucePrintscreen wrote:sirens and mermaids are two different things. In real life mythologies, some sirens were women with a bird's body rather than fish's but they tricked sailors the same way. I may be wrong but I also think that all mermaids were not sirens in the sense that they didn't use a charming song to lure mariners.
Curiously enough, Sirens in Suikden look like mermaids in mithology

That's from SIII but in SV they appear in a similar too. Meanwhile mermaids in Suikoden world have legs.
Personally I'd like to see Mermaids returning too, as I'd like to see return any of the races in general, cause I'm not very fond of introducing thins just to forget it in the next settlement.
I'd like to see ducks again too, they were so badass.
