I assume that the cutscene we just say is identical for all three of the chapter openings until we pick who gets the rune.

Hugo makes the most sense. And since he's more of a fighter, he'll use it less, which is good because Fire is so dangerous to use in this game.

Hugo for fire god. Suits him better than Chris and Geddoe's already got a true rune. I suspect the TL;DR version of Geddoe's sections are just "TLR;D"*, and let's keep it that way. * = True Lighting Rune; Dead

Chris because Also, I regretted taking away Geddoe's TLR. It should not be done. I think it depends on the rune how easy it is to remove it. Soul Eater didn't seem to mind being passed around; Punishment was a dick about it. yokaiy posted:Say what you will about Graham Cray and Suikoden IV, but I appreciate the man for being one of the very few (probably ever) to have the guts to tell a True Rune "no." Yes.

Hugo. It seems like somewhat of a dick move to give Geddoe the TFR after he's had the TLR for so long.

If you pick Chris for this, the game almost outright goes "What, are you dumb?" That being said, just do it with Hugo.

I vote that we have Yokaiy hack the game, and give Geddoe all three True runes. Lightning on the Right, Fire on the left, Water on the forehead. Then he can just kind of hover in the air and float through the rest of the game murdering everything around him with barely a thought.

Ignoring the obvious poll (my vote goes in for Hugo, for what it's worth): Is this the only game in the series that spells it "Cyndar"? I distinctly remember at least Suikoden 2 and 5 referring to them as "Sindar".

Looks like I caught up with the LP (I read everything after Geddoe's first chapter today) just in time for an interesting decision, and I have no idea who to vote for. edit: I think I'm going to vote for Hugo just because it'll be funny when we see Lilly again and tell her she's found the Flame Champion. marshmallow creep fucked around with this message at 04:35 on May 22, 2014 |

Chris seems like a born leader, she's older and more level headed. I feel like she has a better of a chance of uniting the two lands and Hugo seems like the kind of person who'd start out heroic and then end up burning the poo poo out of everyone and every thing in the end.

Hugo is the boring choice, and Geddoe really needs to keep the TLR. Thus I'm voting for Chris.

I can't believe the True Lightning Rune would acquiesce to allowing Geddoe to to replace it so easily. Just goes against the whole feel of the True Runes, as I've seen them presented. That, and Geddoe suddenly stepping out of the shadows to lead a joint defense doesn't fit his personality at all. Still wanna know why the True Lightning Rune picked him. Chris has definitely been through more tough leadership challenges than Hugo. She's won the hearts of the people of Zexen, even as she's pissed off the council. Now she's won over the prophesy tribe of the Grasslanders, as well. She has more going for her than it first appears. Plus, if you're going to take on the burden of immortality, she'd at least get to be with her dad (provided he stays alive). Hugo doesn't have anyone he knows and loves who is also stuck with a True Rune. --game logic aside on how long her dad is going to live, of course. Hugo, however, hasn't really won over the Zexens. In that sense, Chris is the better choice. Thematically, Hugo is the best choice. Eh - Not Geddoe. Broad hints that Chris shouldn't be chosen, but the points in her favor mean I can't definitively choose Hugo over her.

I always felt Geddoe's personality suited Lightning well. Normally calm and placid, only striking when the time is right but when he does he does so decisively (kicking Boris' rear end, involving himself in the war 50 years ago). Fire isn't his bag, it implies a certain passion and rashness that isn't his.

Good lord, I come home from work and see 74 new posts in this thread. Not all that surprising given that I had read the update before the one announcing the vote and could thus predict what had come up, but still, drat. I tend to go with Hugo every time myself, because I'm the type that always goes with the "canon" choice. But I would like to see the other paths for once. Hmm... While I'd like to see what goes down when Chris or Geddoe gets the TFR, I'm going to vote for Hugo getting the TFR, simply for the benefit of people who haven't played the game. EDIT: I don't know if anyone's said anything yet (because I'm not reading all those posts), but there actually IS a solid reason (in terms of gameplay, anyway) for Chris to get the TFR. But we can discuss that at a later time, when we actually get to it. Bufuman fucked around with this message at 05:34 on May 22, 2014 |

Despite Hugo making more sense and Geddoe being my favourite of the three characters, I'm picking Chris because I figure there's bigger potential for entertainment value in such a mismatch. Also, she's the only TFR bearer I haven't seen yet.

Hugo, mounted on Fubar and holding one of the best sources of healing in the game, is effectively immortal; the two of them can easily kill anything that comes their way without any other help, including the final boss.

First among them being that time spent using the True Water Rune is time spent not doing what Hugo does best: Flip the gently caress out and kill people. Chris is a much less impressive damage dealer than either Hugo or Geddoe and thusly presents a far lesser opportunity cost when healing What I'm saying here is that the True Water Rune is a waste of Hugo's time. Chris excels as a tank/healer that can hold her own.

Perhaps I chose my words poorly. I should rephrase that. Rather than choose Chris solely for that reason, it's simply something you can do to compensate for Chris being the FC.

What Captain Oblivious said. Plus Hugo sucks with water. It's his worst magic skill at C. And with his already painfully average magic stat, he won't get many casts out of it.

Well to explain why the runes are 'easy to deal with', at least relative to other runes, they are primal elemental runes. Runes entirely tied with nature stuck in a balance with each other. The runes themselves probably do not care much for who wields them and for what purpose, caring only if their influence in nature still exists. And as such they shouldnt truly have a (strong) will of their own like punishment or soul eater. True runes are the font of all life in the suikoverse, the countless children of the true runes form the universe and govern its laws. Which coincidentally is why they can break them so easily. If a true rune is completely destroyed all traces of that rune and its children are wiped off the face of the universe. No true fire? no fire whatsoever, anywhere, ever.
