Required Party Member: Difference between revisions

** Likewise, certain regular "rescue missions" and the like can only be done if a certain Pokemon is on your team.

 

* A few of the stars in ''[[Suikoden]]'' games get thrown into your party for plot. Luckily, due to the game's levelling system, even if they're weak when you get them, they catch up fairly quickly. These are also the characters that [[Ensemble Darkhorse|tend to get the most characterization]].

** The [[Suikoden I|first game]] was probably the worst about this, to the point where half of your six-person party was predetermined for the last stretch of the plot, right up to the final boss. By contrast, ''[[Suikoden V]]'' included four 'extra' party slots (for a total of ten) where you could put non-combatants and spare members. So if somebody was forced into your party for plot reasons and you didn't care to use them/they were ''way'' too underleveled, you could just stick them in there and drag them along without worrying about dead weight.
