LET'S PLAY SUIKODEN; FUCK YEAH GS4

Re: LET'S PLAY GENSOU SUIKODEN I & II

19.5, actually. The .5 is Gremio. He's still listed on the tablet, but his name's greyed out. Also I went through and tallied up stars I'm missing and I could remember them all!

I got distracted with writing fanfic for NaNoWriMo. But then I realised that instead of freaking out about what I write next, I could just work on my LP and count that as part of my NaNo! Yeah. That totally works.

LAST TIME: TAKE THAT, NECLORD. Also, Viktor's gone for a while.

PART 22; ADVENTURES OF ... TED???

STATS:
- STARS RECRUITED: 88.5 + Fuma + Kreutz + Milia + Rubi = 92.5 / 108

NEXT TIME: The Black Dragon Orchid and the third ingredient!

Re: LET'S PLAY GENSUI I + II -- SUIKODEN I COMPLETE

answer is always ******

also, was the euro even a thing when this game was out?
 
Re: LET'S PLAY GENSUI I + II -- SUIKODEN I COMPLETE

NAME HIM ◄▲►◄▲►!

Or ♥♥♥♥♥♥ just because.
 
Re: LET'S PLAY GENSUI I + II -- SUIKODEN I COMPLETE

Gooooooooood morning, everyone! As you might have noticed, we are now up to Suikoden II! That ... feels like it took a while, but actually I think I got through it pretty quickly given how doing a let's play tripled my play time and meant I couldn't just skim through the bits I dislike. Also given that I got distracted halfway through in order to play through IV, Rhapsodia, and III. ... Twice, in Rhapsodia's case.

This is the opening movie! Please watch it; it's awesome. Apparently they got the Warsaw Philharmonic to do the music? idk, Higashino Miki is probably my favourite video game composer.

I may actually switch emulators for this; I really want to be able to proceed frame by frame for a bunch of this since II has very detailed sprite animations.

But first, what do we name the protag? It'll be commented on at least once if Tir and Riou have the same name, so that's a thought. I think Gremio thinks it's weird? I'm not sure; I've only played through II twice, once with Tir and Riou and once with ティル and リオウ. But I've heard it gets remarked upon. Espeon might know; I think he named both tenkai after himself. But yeah, Tir shows up in II. He's pretty impressively gamebreaking if you have him in your party. It's beautiful.

Riou is the one who looks like Tir, Jowy is the blond, Nanami is the girl, Mukumuku is the flying squirrel.

Riou is a silent protagonist, more or less, though he does have quite a lot of lines. Most of them have to do with not being able to believe that his boyfriend might have made bad decisions. (The rest are him hoping his sister will stop being herself.)


Jowy, pronounced Joey but spelled stupidly because this is Suikoden II and SuikoII's translation makes SuikoI's look like a work of art, I am not even kidding, is Riou's boyfriend. Riou's very clingy boyfriend who makes very bad decisions. But don't worry, no matter how many times Jowy tries to kill people, he will always be Riou's best friend.

Sadly, he does not wear shorts.


Nanami is Riou's older sister! They know she's older even though they were orphaned at a young age and adopted by some old man named Genkaku because when they argue over who's the older sibling, Nanami is louder. That means she won, you see. (The nunchuck to the head also means she won. She's a very straightforward person, is Nanami.) Nanami is at least as annoying as Gremio and also similarly endearing. Don't let her cook, though. She thinks sea-salt ice cream is a good idea.

(Images both from Suikogaiden I.)



I'm going to have to do a bit more prep for this LP since I don't have all of the portrait sprites as separate files already. :/ And the whole ... switching emulators ... thing. So you have a day or two to work out what we're naming Riou.

Oh, and the soundtrack. You might want to find it zipped somewhere; it's kind of large. Four discs kind of large. And the soundtrack for II is much better than the one for I! Though I do love the soundtrack for I. ... I wonder if Higashino Miki did the ones in I I particularly like; she did some of the composing but wasn't in charge of the whole thing for suikoI. Suiko II, it's all hers, afaik.

This has been fun to read! and I had some questions to ask but I forget them and should be doing other things, so hopefully I will remember soon! This next one should be awesome, I love the way you do LPs :D

I remember you saying that you sort of liked empty spaces for Penis Castle's name before, but I forget whether you said that was impossible or you just preferred Penis in the end? Because if not then totally spaces for this Riou guy's name.

Also, Kirkis's faceplate seems to have borked out in the last few posts, just fyi.

also I just realized that Kamandol's face reminds me of Shelley de Killer but no big deal
 
Re: LET'S PLAY GENSUI I + II -- SUIKODEN I COMPLETE

Yeah, see, everything's on imageshack so a few things tend to not work at any given point in time. The link's fine; it's just that particular imageshack server is down. There's an image next to where I said all the unkillables were standing, too, that doesn't currently work.

Not that I don't like your suggestions or anything, because I do, but I was talking to Espeon and he suggested Odessa and I am giggling forever. It is beautiful in many ways.

LAST TIME: ROCKS FALL, FLIKTOR DIE. OR DID THEY???

YOU KNOW THE DRILL


STATS:
- PEOPLE WITH FACES MET: Odessa, Jowy Atreides (THE SPICE MUST FLOW), Rowd, Luca Blight
- Jowy Points: On one hand, he told Odessa to jump off a cliff 108 * 4 times and still didn't accept his refusal. On the other, at least they held hands while jumping off the cliff. So I guess he's at a -2 for now. (-5 for jumping off a cliff, +2 for trying to prevent their imminent Death By Luca, +1 for hand holding.)
- Game Overs: 0 total
- Bathrooms: 0

NEXT TIME: Jumping off cliffs is a really stupid idea, guys. Don't do it.

Flik hitting Odessa is funny beyond words, haha. I look forwards to seeing more.
 
Re: LET'S PLAY GENSUI I + II -- SUIKODEN I COMPLETE

PART 03; YOU KNOW THE DRILL

STATS:
- PEOPLE WITH FACES MET: No one new today, I think!
- Jowy Points: 1 + 3 for figuring out how to escape + 1 for being good with rope [nudge nudge] - 5 for trying to light Fliktor's house on fire = 0

I do remember having my emulator crash at one of the cutscenes. I think it was the one which happens later in Ryube. Also, having reread one of the previous entries about naming Riou and Tir the same, it is true that Gremio will react to the name being the same. I can't remember what he says exactly and it isn't that important or significant to anything ever so it's not like it matters.
 
Re: LET'S PLAY GENSUI I + II -- SUIKODEN I COMPLETE

LAST TIME: FUCK YOU FLIKTOR WE DO WHAT WE WANT [FIST SHAKE]

PART 04 YADA FUCKING YADA
