Suikoden V/YMMV: Difference between revisions

** Richard can block, counter or dodge almost all physical attacks in the game. {{spoiler|Don't bring him along if the boss mainly uses magic though, as he will most likely die}}. Give him a Firefly Rune, and you can breeze through most battles.

** Georg Prime has great stats and starts out with a rune that increases his critical rate and gives him a small chance of instantly killing enemies. There's a reason the game significantly limits your ability to actually put him in your party.

* [[Iron Woobie]]: At the start of the game, Lymsleia's ''ten''. The stuff she goes through would usually [[Break the Cutie]].

* [[Les Yay]]: Cathari is heavily implied to have been in a relationship with Lucretia at one point, and Lelei is implied to currently be in a relationship with her.

** The Deep Twilight Forest is ''loathed'' by players for being utterly baffling to get through: it constantly leads into dead ends, and circular paths that, if not careful, will lead you right out to where you started. The whole visit is punctuated by a high random encounter rate. It has treasures too, so god help you if you intend to search for them.

** [[The Very Definitely Final Dungeon]], where you have to split into three parties and constantly switch among them to advance through the dungeon. While it isn't as bad as the forest above, there is only one [[Save Point]] (which is at the entrance) and, after the three parties regroups, it is a [[Point of No Return]]. Also, leaving the dungeon means that the three bosses have to be defeated again.

* [[Viewer Gender Confusion]]: Many players thought that the prince was a chick when they first saw the cover. It doesn't help that his clothes look like ones that women would usually wear.

* [[Win Back the Crowd]]: After the stylistic deviations of ''Suikoden III'' with its paired party system and its trinity sight, and ''Suikoden IV'' with its sea voyaging, lack of depth and shrunken parties, ''Suikoden V'' returns the series to a style of gameplay and storytelling much closer in style to the first two games. It seems to have mostly worked, as ''Suikoden V'' is the less divisive game since the first two entries.
