SuikodenI | |
| Suikoden (Video Game) | comment |
The first installment of the Suikoden series; naturally, many of the series' long-running themes are established herein.The young son of Imperial General Teo McDohl lives a comfortable, happy life in the Scarlet Moon Empire with his famous father, house full of personal bodyguards, and best friend Ted. However, everything gets turned upside down when he winds up with the Soul Eater, one of the 27 True Runes, stuck on his right hand. Turns out the empire's really interested in said True Rune, and young McDohl finds himself roped into the Liberation Army and forced to face off against his father and his country. An HD remaster of Suikoden I and II was announced September 16, 2022 for a release date sometime in 2023. | |

Heroic BSoD: Tir right after Gremio's death. Kirkis, once the Village of the Elves burns down. Thinking his love, Sylvina, was there when it happened, he doesn't take it well. Gremio, of all people, winds up bringing him out of it pretty quick. | |

Love Ruins the Realm | |
| Suikoden (Video Game) / int_147996f2 | comment |
Love Ruins the Realm: The Scarlet Moon Empire is in collapse and growing more tyrannical over time in large part because Emperor Barbarossa's infatuation for Windy combined with his grief for his late wife has made him effectively turn his rule over to the sorceress. | |

Peninsula of Power Leveling | |
| Suikoden (Video Game) / int_16972b3c | comment |
Peninsula of Power Leveling: The Great Forest can act as this after you pass through the Fortress of Kwaba near the start of the game. While you can't get past the first screen of it yet, the enemies in that screen, like the Kobolds, will be enough to propel your characters a good six or seven levels in a single battle and are easily dispatched with area effect magic, like the Fire Rune Cleo normally has at this point. It's a good idea too, since the next dungeon is Toran Castle, which has a tough boss, and the extra levels can really help. | |

Brainwashed and Crazy | |
| Suikoden (Video Game) / int_173909 | comment |
Brainwashed and Crazy: Two of the Five Imperial Generals (Kwanda Rosman and Milich Oppenheimer), thanks to Windy's Black Runes. Teo McDohl, Sonya Schulen, and Kasim Hazil all avert this and are opposed to the Liberation Army of their own will. Subverted by Emperor Barbarossa, though, who only pretends to be brainwashed. | |

Character Select Forcing | |
| Suikoden (Video Game) / int_2bcd6fc8 | comment |
Character Select Forcing: Some characters require you to bring another character in your party to be recruited, and then there's Anji-Kanak-Leonardo: Not only you have to bring both Tai Ho and Yam Koo with you, you have to fight them while having the two of them in your party. If you haven't been training them, this can be bad news. For the last dungeon of the game, you're required to bring Viktor and Flik with you. The mitigating factor of this is that they're generally pretty good. Despite having six playable characters at any given moment, two instances - Kwanda’s Fortress and carrying the upgraded boat to Rikon - require you to use six predetermined characters with no swapping allowed. | |

Even Evil Has Standards | |
| Suikoden (Video Game) / int_319e4a2f | comment |
Even Evil Has Standards: The Soul Eater Rune is widely considered to be the most evil of the True Runes (and with good reason), but even it is disgusted by Windy, and refuses to accept her as its wielder. More downplayed in a way that the standard was because Windy was evil, but more like she is about to break the rule of 'No person can hold two True Runes at once', seeing that Windy already had Gate Rune. | |

Game-Breaking Bug | |
| Suikoden (Video Game) / int_33ca811a | comment |
Game-Breaking Bug: The Earth Rune's Clay Guardian and Guardian Earth spells are supposed to increase the allies' defense, but somehow it does not work. In early game (before getting to Toran Castle), there's a bizarre glitch where Gremio and/or Pahn will be arbitrarily swapped in and out of the party. If you save while this glitch is in effect, you're effectively screwed, since you won't have the right party makeup to progress through story scenes. | |

Permadeath: Make a bad decision during the war battles and most of your stars are vulnerable to this. Don't worry, they'll let you know via dramatic Last Words before you're informed of their demise. Oddly, if you use a game with dead characters to get the Old Save Bonus for Suikoden II, the dead people are alive and well. This is even lampshaded in the second game. | |

Early-Installment Weirdness | |
| Suikoden (Video Game) / int_4f4372e9 | comment |
Early-Installment Weirdness: The only installment that don't play Jeane up as the Ms. Fanservice or Viki being an utter ditz. Also Leknaat being a little more flirty instead of utterly mysterious. Some aspects of the battle system. There's only one rune slot for all party members, meaning only one rune can be equipped to any of them. From Suikoden II, there's three rune slots, some of which can only be equipped to some slots, and the amount open varying per character. The war battles have a simple rock-paper-scissors system in this game, with them being more like Strategy RPGs in the later games. The lack of several features that would become staple in the series and also gives further characterizations to the plot-irrelevant characters, making characterizations rather archaic: Bath dialogues are non-existant (II will feature a few, but it's not until III that the series gives you tons) so Bath only exists to dump urns and paintings. And lastly? There's no 'detective' character to peek into the secrets of the characters you recruited. | |

Dark Is Not Evil | |
| Suikoden (Video Game) / int_575fd5e2 | comment |
Dark Is Not Evil: The Soul Eater is described as "the most wicked of the True Runes", but at the end, it rejects Windy. The 108 Stars of Destiny gathering (or just missing one, actually) reveal that there's a reason why Soul Eater's full title of 'Rune of Life and Death', it's not just about getting people to die a lot. By gathering the 108 stars, it allowed the Soul Eater to get into the 'Life' part by letting Gremio get revived by the Gate Rune, all while not nerfing itself (therefore, despite reviving Gremio, he'll still appear as the apparition that rejected Windy). Though unlike the prequel's Rune of Punishment, it's not clear if Soul Eater will still have the nasty habit of devouring other souls afterwards, so Tir is always on a lookout and distancing himself from others further. | |

The dwarves hate the elves, the elves loathe and fear the dwarves, both groups think humans are dumber than dirt, the humans believe themselves superior to other races, and the xenophobic kobolds hate everyone. Fortunately, there are a few beings on each side who know that's all a bunch of crap, and most of the races generally get better as the game goes on. Except for the elves, most of whom die from Kwanda's Burning Mirror, but the few who escaped the attack do join your side. | |

Letting the Air out of the Band: Near the beginning of the game, the party is given a reward for getting rid of some bandits, cuing a happy little Item Get! sound. Then the Obstructive Bureaucrat tagging along steals it, and this happens instead. | |

Permanently Missable Content: Did you forget to recruit Leon Silverberg before the assault at Shasarazade? Say goodbye to the 100% Completion! note You need to talk to Mathiu IN the headquarters so he writes the letter to Leon when asked. If you've done Shasarazade, Mathiu will not be in the place and will only write for Leon AFTER the final war, which renders him useless and also by then, you probably have passed Gremio's possible resurrection. | |

Hello, [Insert Name Here] | |
| Suikoden (Video Game) / int_68913e61 | comment |
Hello, [Insert Name Here]: Young McDohl can be named whatever you please. Same goes for your base and army. Due to data read error, when you use an Old Save Bonus to unlock extra stuff in Suikoden II, McDohl doesn't really get renamed. Instead, the first letter of his name in Suikoden becomes the first letter of his name in Suikoden II. So, he could be named TcDohl. In other words, name him something that begins with an M. This doesn't apply to the PAL version, however, which transfers his full name properly. According to Suikosource.com, McDohl's name in Suikoden II gets overwritten by uppercase letters, so if you named the main character in all lower case letters, the second game would still have his name as McDohl. However, whatever you name him is saved and carried over to the third installment in full form, so if you named him Tir, the play about Suikoden I's main character refers to him as Tir McDohl. | |

Guide Dang It! | |
| Suikoden (Video Game) / int_6ec989d8 | comment |
Guide Dang It!: Recruiting several of the stars qualifies as this. Special mention goes to recruiting Mathiu's uncle Leon. To do so, you need to get the castle up towards its maximum size, which Leon will remark upon the next time you talk to him. Next, you have to get Mathiu to write him a letter asking for his services. Now, this ordinarily wouldn't be a problem, but since Mathiu is your strategist, talking to him normally causes him to ask you if you're ready to advance the plot. If he's doing this, he can't write the letter, so you have to do it in a lull in the storyline. There are only two points where this can happen, and you need to have recruited every other available character for it to work. It's all a bit much even for an optional character. | |

"Blind Idiot" Translation: Not too bad for its time really, except for Stallion's "True Holy Rune" that isn't one of the True Runes at all; a better rendering would have been the Godspeed Rune. An imperial commander makes a declaration about how 'God is dead', while in the original he just declares that deals with rebels are worthless. Really what does it in are minor grammar mistakes, mostly using the wrong tense or plural form, that pile up. At one point, Kirkis says, "After returning from Dwarves' Village" for no apparent reason. This is due to the localization team accidentally including a developer's note into the dialogue, resulting in Gremio saying Kirkis's actual line, Valeria saying Gremio's line, and so on until the actual final line in this dialogue chain (Kirkis expressing disbelief and telling the player to hurry) ended up being unused. | |

Giant Space Flea from Nowhere: The Crystal Core, a floating crystal ball found up in the mountains that seems to have no purpose than to provide a boss fight. Lampshaded in this case, since a character will exclaim "What the hell!" before the fight. The following boss, Shell Venus, is another example. It's a large and surprisingly dangerous shell in the way of the flood gate control in Shasarazade, and has just as much context. | |

American Kirby Is Hardcore: The original US boxart made the characters look less anime and more out of a Western fantasy novel. While this was common practice during the third and fourth generations of video gaming, by the time the fifth gen gained traction, anime became more accepted among American audiences, which is why the practice was dropped from the second game onward. | |

Gremio dies halfway in the game and spends the majority of the game in the realm of the dead, unless you collect all 108 Destinies and revives him... only for the final segment of the game. | |

Hidden Elf Village | |
| Suikoden (Video Game) / int_a971e83c | comment |
Hidden Elf Village: Double subverted, in that it's out in the open and rather easy to find, but to even get there, you need an elf with you to traverse the Great Forest, or else you will be stuck in a looping screen. The other problem: They're not very hospitable toward humans, though. | |

All for Nothing | |
| Suikoden (Video Game) / int_aed65980 | comment |
All for Nothing: Windy sought the power of the Soul Eater for centuries, destroyed the village in which it was originally kept in, drove the protagonist to turn against the Scarlet Moon Empire, and threw the entire nation into civil war...but when she finally gets into a position to claim it, the rune rejects her. Her quest for power not only failed in the end, but it was doomed from the very beginning. | |

Required Party Member: Any given leg of the quest will have Tir journeying with someone who has to do with the plot at hand. Also, Gremio insists on coming with him up until his Plotline Death. This is rather annoying come end-game when one half of your party is made up of required people. | |

New Powers as the Plot Demands | |
| Suikoden (Video Game) / int_c26e2b1 | comment |
New Powers as the Plot Demands: Sort of; the Soul Eater has four spells like any other rune, but McDohl only gains access to each successive spell after certain plot points. Mostly a subversion, though, as not only the new skills have no relation to the plot, they are gained after the Soul Eater eats the soul of someone close to you, so the powerup is vaguely justified. | |

The Wandering You | |
| Suikoden (Video Game) / int_c5484456 | comment |
The Wandering You: The world map is rather large and it takes a bit of walking to get from one place to another. However the trope ends up subverted in that when the game detects that you are walking in a straight line in one direction it will decrease the encounter rate. If the player starts zig zagging or walking in circles then the encounter rate would go up. | |

Unfortunately, the poor guy lives in the Warriors' Village and has Tengaar as his love interest, and she's bound and determined to make him a man. A bit of a subversion, though, as Hix has good stat growth and can be quite a good fighter if you give him the right rune. | |

Please Spare Him, My Liege!: Tir, as commander of the Liberation Army, will be given the task of deciding whether captured Imperials should be put to death. Most troops will endorse this, but a couple times, someone will raise a red flag and ask for the person to be spared. No such objection is raised for Kraze, though. He's also the only character you can willfully kill off without sacrificing a Star of Destiny. | |

Anti-Frustration Features | |
| Suikoden (Video Game) / int_d6f284a3 | comment |
Anti-Frustration Features: Experience gained scales with level, so if you’re suddenly forced to use a character you’ve otherwise neglected, you can get them up to an acceptable level quickly. If you queue up a healing item and you defeat the enemy/enemies before the item usage comes up, the item will get used before the victory screen, preventing any situations where you forget to heal between battles and start a new fight with a unit near-death. | |
