Afterlife in suikoden.
Does the suikoden have its own version of heaven and hell or is it similar to the Greek mythology of reincarnation? When Gremio died for example he went to the world of emptiness, are all souls compelled to go there as that doesn’t sound a suitable ending for the characters we knew *Except Luca perhaps* as isn't that were all the monsters that appear in the suikoden world originate from?

I suppose maybe there is a concept of heaven and hell, but if there is, it hasn't been important enough to be mentioned. And I believe Gremio's case was a special one, as he was one who was close to the main hero, who happened to have the Soul Eater

There may have been some kind of concept about afterlife at least. This may be a translation error, but When Tir and his party leave Viktor and Flik in Gregminster Castle, Flik says something along the lines of "I'm not ready to see Odessa yet".

Re: Afterlife in suikoden.
Ancient Greek Mythology does not condone reincarnation. The Greeks believed after you die you either go to the elysian (sp.) fields (heaven), or tartarus (hell). religions that do teach reincarnation are hinduism and sort of buddhism. as for your main question, i can't really answer that sorry.koriand'r wrote:Does the suikoden have its own version of heaven and hell or is it similar to the Greek mythology of reincarnation?

As in the real work, it seems like various characters in Suikoden have various beliefs.
For example, many of the folks of Grassland think they return to the earth as spirits--this belief is particularly strong among the Alma Kinan clans.
Then as mentioned before, Flik says it's not time to meet Odessa. However, he is from the Warrior's Village, and this may simply be their own belief.
Then there's Mazus and Crowley, who many consider to have reincarnated using some arcane method.
Regardless, the fact is that there is no single "truth" regarding the afterlife in the Suikoden world.

I believe in Suikoden, in the afterlife, depending on how you been on earth:
If you been nice, you become a spirit of the earth and you can keep on living (with flowers, air e.t.c), And you can also watch over your loved once until you "meet again".
If you been bad, you become an spririt who lives in an endless dream where you feel nothing, hear nothing, see nothing... and endless nothingness...

What you say sounds good, Lo Wen, but I think that all the people that died in Suikoden world simply pass to "the other side", the realm of the dead. I believe that those souls that caused much pain during their lifetime simply stay in that realm forever, maybe they appear from time to time as monsters, while deacent souls may have a chance to return one day as a different persons. As you probably noticed, there is no church, no religions in Suikoden world. And thus no heaven and hell.
I simply believe in "the other side", that's all...

Re: Afterlife in suikoden.
Actually, only few people go to the Elysian Fields or deeper into Tartarus. Most souls just wander Hades for eternity. In other words, unless they really pissed the gods off, or they were really really good, they are just souls with nothing to do. Kinda sucks.nuSeed wrote:Ancient Greek Mythology does not condone reincarnation.
