Suikoden V is beaten

And I have to say, I still prefer I, II, and III. Don't get me wrong, the game is top-notch and it's the first RPG to really get me interested for about 2 years, but it's definitely on a lower level than the first 3

My only guess as to why Lyon suddenly croaked is that the Dawn Rune's protection wore off when they incapacitated the Sun RIncar. I never saw the bad ending, so part wants to see this scene with the prince walking out with both runes. Anyway, as for your problems on the whole, I pretty much agree with all of them.

The one thing they left unresolved that I liked was the thing with the leaders of the old Nether Gate. It seems like it holds some promise for a future installment.

Both Nagarea and New Armes seem pretty interesting to me. Certainly beats the hell out of the void that is the Dukedom of Gaien.

I am hoping it turns out that Gaien is an economically wealthy, militarily powerful, and culturally rich nation that is host to all sorts of unfound badassery.

There's got to be a reason it's still hanging around. There's got to be.

It's probably that it's so useless that no one wants to bother taking it.

Gaien was as powerful as Kooluk, Kooluk as powerful as the Scarlet Moon Empire, the Scarlet Moon Empire as powerful as Jowston, and Jowston as powerful as a Highland-Harmonia coalition.

As such, Gaien would defeat Harmonia in a war. My logic is infallible.
