Ten hours into Suikoden V, and I’m pretty sure the first arc of the game is over. I tend to think of Suikoden games in 3 major arcs, the opening arc, which is the introduction; characters, motivations and the how of our hero becoming what he is destined to be. The second arc being the building of your stronghold, collection of 108 SOD and the revelation of plot, and of course the many battles. Finally, the third arc, in which there is much death, pain, and the truth is revealed, this is where Leon Silverberg screwed me over in the first game, and Snowe fucked it up for me in the fourth game.

Moving on: ( Suikoden V Spoilers )

Will talk more about Suiko5 after Sunday, will get the PS2 back then.
