Initial impressions and rankings for Suikoden V

The triad of games (Chrono Trigger, Gensou Suikoden II, and Xenogears)
might not remain a triad, depending on where my feelings for Gensou Suikoden
V finally settle. The music is imprinting nicely, and in case I haven't
dropped enough hints about this so far, the soundtrack is absolutely
beautiful -- with a couple of glaring blemishes, but it's ( Read more... )

Makes sense.

Also, btw? The game clock on my very much incomplete first GS5 save was higher than your clear time. Granted, I have a strong tendency to wander away and leave games running, but also I think it was because I was obsessively going back to re-talk to people I had failed to recruit before, and obsessively trying to recruit Oboro every five minutes or so because you'd told me it was easy to miss him on second chance. =P I think it may be best for me to not worry so heavily about recruiting, and if I don't get all 108 on first playthrough, whatever; I can do it on second playthrough-- I think it's best for me to feel the flow of the story first. Learning experience.

-Of course, you haven't seen this one yourself, but I would like to add "Faylon/Faylen recruitment bug" to the generic "bugs that exist" list. I am SURE I said the things you told me I was supposed to say.

Well, yes... it is the list of bugs I encountered for a reason. I can't maintain my reputation for finding bugs if I include other people's bugs in my list :) This is also why I didn't include Belcoot/Marina in my list, though from all indications I have of the scenario you described, it was a bug.

I go to great lengths not to leave games running unattended -- I want the clock to reflect the amount of time I actually put into the game whenever possible (by the way, kudos to games that pause the clock when I pause the game). That said, if this had been my first playthrough, my clock would have probably been around 150, going by the clock on the abandoned game...

I'm not convinced that Belcoot/Marina was a bug-- I thought maybe she just wasn't triggered to be at the inn until after I finished the next plot event. It might've been a bug that he was hanging out there beforehand, though. Or maybe she really was supposed to be there earlier.

Did you notice the bug where moving past stacks of papers http://i64.photobucket.com/albums/h163/rosesforjulia/eecdc4c9.jpgking of it now.
on tables makes the papers shake? Of course, one can always claim it's a gust of circulating air from your own motion. =P It's particularly noticeable at the signup place for the Sacred Games, which is why I was just thin

Speaking of bugs, apologies for the mouse paste, which I didn't notice until after I posted. "moving past stacks of papers on tables makes the papers shake" was what was intended there.
