(Previously posted at suikosource strict forum)
Q. After Suikoden 1 ended, and Sydonia disappeared from Varkas, where did he go and what was he doing? Since Varkas was the only one to return to Suikoden 2, I would like to know.
A. After the liberation movement, Sydonia was given the same position as the head of patrolling the country's borders like Varkas, but he was not interested. He promised Varkas that he would return when he was needed, and went on an endless wandering journey.
Q. Please tell me about the spirits that inhabit in Clive's gun. What type of spirit is it and in what way does the spirit select its owner?
A. The description of the "gun inhabited by spirits" is metaphoric, and it only means that its a special gun. (Some what like a legend.) So, there is no actual spirits inside the gun. But it seems that the gun may have a will of its own.
Q. It's been bothering me a long time, but why did Sierra become the holder of the moon rune. Is there a reason why she became the holder at the young age of 16?
A. It seems like it was a result of chance and luck. The details are unknown. (It was such a long time ago...)
Q. The sword (Tower -> Death -> Judgement) that Kirke was using in Suikoden 1 was used by Lorelai in Suikoden 2. Did something happen between them? Did Lorelai receive it because Kirke became a farmer and didn't need it anymore?
A. Lorelai is a realistic and practical person, so it was not such a big dilemma for her to throw away her own sword and use Kirke's instead.
Q. Didn't Nanami receive anything from Genkaku? The hero got the head accessory and the shoulder pads. POOR NANAMI!
A. The head accessory was given on the day they visited a festival. It seems like Nanami begged really hard for the food and snacks, and ended up eating all of it.
Q. What was Sanchez's position in the Imperial Army? Also, what happened to him after the Toran Liberation War?
A. He did not have a position in the Imperial Army, but instead worked for the Rugner Family. There were several supporters of executing him, but since the new united nation was only in the beginning state, and President Lepant worried about the restlessness and uneasiness that the ex-participants of the Imperial Army who later became leaders of the Liberation Army may feel. He negotiated an agreement for Sanchez to not be able to have a position in the political field or the military field, and also would not be able to contact anybody from the Imperial side. Qlon Temple took him in.
Q. Are Caesar and Albert brothers? Why are they not on speaking terms? What happened in the past?
A. Caesar and Albert and blood related brothers, but it is not clear yet what happened in the past. What we do know is that Caesar is following the trail of Albert as to remonstrate his actions of only using his talents for a promotion.
Q. Is there a way to know the true name of Ace, Queen, and Jacques? Since Jacques is my favorite character, I can't help but think about it. Please tell me.....
A. Since they don't feel like talking about it themselves, it will remain a mystery.
Q. It seems like Chris and Lilly had a big fight at the Zexen Anniversary Ball, what was the cause, and who was the one that initiated it? Also, how did they reconcile afterwards?
A. Chris, who was not used to dancing, missed a turn and plunged into Lilly's table, wine was spilled onto Lilly's dress. The circumstance surrounding their reconciliation is that the following day after the incident, they both thought how stupid the whole incident was. The details are mentioned in the newspaper article.
Q. Who is the person whose face is reflected on Geddoe's sword in the opening movie? It looks like Queen, but I am very interested to know. Please tell me.
A. It's Queen.
Q. In Suikoden 3, Millia is the chief of the Dragon Knights. So did Millia inherit the Dragon Rune?
