Without Windy Odessa wouldn't have needed to form the Toran Liberation Army. Without this Suikoden one would not have happened.True Rune wrote:Was Windy's quest for the souleater really that an important issue during the war? I agree that it is an important plot point, but there was already a lot of unrest in the Scarlet Moon Empire before McDohl took leadership. Odessa was already starting a rebellion. Pretty much every member of the 108 stars of destiny didn't really seem all that concerned with the soul eater. Viktor, Flik, Mathiu and so many others were out to stop the corrupt empire. Only those like Cleo and Gremio even seemed to know who Windy was. I think calling it Gate Rune war misrepresents what is was really all about. Looking back, if Windy would've been killed by Ted when he was taken to the palace at the beginning the game, I don't think the events of the war would have changed much. McDohl was destined to lead the freedom fighters with or without the soul eater.
It is called the Gate Rune Wars because of the battle between Windy and Leknaat the bearers of the two pieces of the Gate Rune. Lepant was there to witness first hand the power of the True Runes.
