Am I the only one who didn't notice Yuber has heterochromia until this happened? I've always liked it from a design standpoint and I think it really helps accentuate the "intense psychopath" look he's got going on there.

This is one of the few times I think heterochromia is used decently from a character design perspective - these days it's goddamn everywhere.

I really need to re-read the Suikoden I and II LP's in the archive, I don't remember most of these references.

I wouldn't say 'goddamn everywhere,' really. It's pretty rare, just not as rare as it would be in real life. :v:

As for Ross and Brosh, it's pretty fun to think up names for them. Though I doubt they'll be relevant for too much longer.

If you're talking about the various names for Klaymen and Klogg, most of them aren't actually Suikoden-related. :haw: Though, brushing up on your I and II is never a bad thing. If we're lucky, Vilk will cover those two when he's done with V.

They're relevant for longer than you'd think, actually. Lilly, Happy, and Charle will be around for some of Hugo's chapter 3, so we've got a while before I am no longer forced to come up with new nicknames. It's kinda fun, though, so I might end up missing them when they're no longer plot-relevant.

Huh, good for Biggs and Wedge then.

One definite advantage to this game's split-party approach is a lot more characters get focus than in the usual Suikoden group.

The problem with Yokaiy stealing our names for Zorn and Thorn is that it's pretty uncreative. And that they might not even get half of these.

At which point I start making words up, instead, such as "Codsnipe" and "Gullywherve," leaving everyone confused at whether or not I'm making really obscure references or just pulling letters out of my rear end. :haw:

In response to how many of these I am getting, by the way, only a couple have gone over my head so far. I fully expect you guys to try and come up with the most convoluted, obscure nicknames to remedy this, by the way, at which point I will laugh and weep at the same time.

:allears: You're all the best.

e: Who am I kidding, I've already laughed at a bunch of these. No weeping yet, though.
