[FAQ] Loading Suikoden 4 data
[FAQ] Loading Suikoden 4 data
Ok ok, I apologize if this has been asked a bajillion times, but Im having trouble finding the information I desire. I have read many FAQ's and threads about loading Suikoden 4 data into Suikoden tactics, and most of the answers I found often contradict themselves. I just want to know once and for all, how this is done the RIGHT way, lol.
So this is exactly what I have done: I found all 108 SoD's in Suikoden 4, finished the game, then saved the game when prompted (after the credits finish rolling) Thats it...I havent started a new game from that data or anything.
So I started Suikoden Tactics today, and was prompted to load Suikoden 4 data, and I did so, using the file mentioned above.
Was this done correctly? Will I get the 'secret characters' mentioned in other FAQ's etc etc. Im asking this, as the hero from Suikoden 4 is simply called 'local boy' in the very first level, so Im wondering if I did this correctly.

Whether you playing New Game or New Game +, your file needs to have all 108 Stars in it. The most secure choice would be to use data with the 108 Stars in it that is saved at the last savepoint in Fort El-Eal. By saving right before the last boss, you'll easily be able to remember to use that save data.

No. Hero's level will match Kyril's.Komataguri wrote:Does Lazlo or Snowe keep their levels from Suiko4?
Snowe always joins at Lv 1.
No.Do they keep their equipment?
The Hero's name will appear among one of the suggested names for the Deserted Island. That's the only other effect that I've seen so far, besides recruiting those two characters into your group.Does the potch or anything other than simply obtaining Lazlo and Snowe come from loading Suiko4 data?
Lino doesn't appear in the Gossip section until you fought the second story battle at El-Eal.Buff wrote:you'll know when you first visit kingdom of obel.after that you leave and enter it again and see if lino en kuldes shows up in the gossip menu.Agremsep wrote:If you follow any guide, you will be able to recruit the secret characters early on the game.

The earliest sign of a working data transfer is when your Hero's name get mentioned by the Merchant on Deserted Island. You get access to that island once you accept Rene's quest or any of the Chiepoo/X quests that requires you to go there.
There's no official name for him, but this is the name that the English fanbase have grown accustomed to use in place of the generic [Hero] placeholder. Derived from the novel adaptation of Suikoden IV.Buff wrote:lazlo is the official name of the main character in suikoden 4.Un_Colombiano wrote:whos Lazlo...if its a spoiler character dont say anymore!
