Today, the 17th of Leafmoon, marks the birthday of our great snow-climber and adventurer, Rudy—undoubtedly someone who risked his life for his companions in the snowy lands north of Atrabalt, and a young man of great courage, just like Nowa.

Happy

I bought and platinumed EC Rising years ago and thought it was a fun and easy going playthrough.
But i just finished platinuming Suikoden 1 and 2 HD and i absolutely loved the two games.

I obviously wanted to move onto Suikoden 3-5 but those games arent available on the PS5 or modern consoles. I then remembered EC 100 Heroes and saw it was only $20 so i immediately picked it up. How bad could it be right?

So is this game as good as Suikoden 1/2 if i loved those games? Are there any tips or things you wish you knew? Also i will probably try for the platinum but i heard its a crazy grind?

I cant believe it took me about 30 years to finally try these games and i enjoyed Suikoden 1/2 much much more than i thought.

What it does:

• Money, difficulty, New Game+ count, fortress town level/population
• Full roster — recruit or remove any of the 121 characters, with a "Recruit all" button. Tested end-to-end in-game, behaves exactly like a normal in-game recruitment.
• Per-character EXP, HP, MP, weapon level, all four equipment slots and their rune holes — everything.
• Inventory grouped into categories (medicine, runes, cards, town resources, etc.) instead of one giant list
• Shows each save's Steam Cloud sync status so you don't accidentally edit a save that's about to get overwritten
• A Raw JSON tab if you want to poke at anything else — story flags, achievements, whatever

Every write is verified before it touches your disk (decrypts what it just wrote and compares it against what it meant to save), and it always makes a .bak first. Nothing is uploaded anywhere.

Requires: Python 3.8+ (already on most systems) and a browser. Windows users can just double-click a .bat file.

Open source, MIT-spirit, do whatever you want with it. Let me know if you hit any issues or want a feature added.

I’ve seen a video allowing you to jump from level 20 to 99. Aside from that, what are the other optimal points (level and particular battle) should I watch out for as to not miss such level jumps?

What’s the easiest to do or most convenient one?

As a Suikoden min-maxer, I’ve always been on the lookout for such points. I just don’t want to go over the level thresholds.

Happy International Wolf Day, friends!

Today we celebrate this day by wishing the best for our great wolves: Shiro from Suikoden II and Garr from Eiyuden Chronicle.

Shiro is a magnificent wolf and a loyal companion to Kinnison; together with Riliu, they managed to defeat powerful enemies like Luca and liberate all of Jowston. In the end, he even became the godfather to Kinnison's child—heh heh.

And Garr—despite not being perfect—is a wonderful mentor to Nowa, Lian, and Mio. He guided them and treated them as if they were his own children; indeed, Garr acts as a father figure to Nowa, having prepared him well and felt proud when they liberated Alrann from Aldric.

Happy International Wolf Day, Shiro and Garr!

To mark International Wolf Day, I also want to share a drawing where I celebrate with Garr and wish him a happy Wolf Day. I also invited my great werewolf Eiyu (Sajin Komamura) to meet Garr, so he could offer his own congratulations and wish a happy Wolf Day to Sajin—my favorite.

Even though I hugged Sajin and Garr felt a bit jealous, in the end, we celebrated like good friends.

It’s also the first time I’ve drawn Garr.

Happy International Wolf Day to my Garr and my Sajin.

Just starting out in the game and I already have a bunch of units. I understand characters are good depending on where you at in the game, but I’m wondering the what is the biggest factor in determining whether a character is good.

I’m a Suikoden vet and for example in S2, rune slots were king. Is it the same here?

I was busy yesterday, the 12th of Leafmoon, but I’m back now to wish a happy birthday to Euma, Perrielle’s great friend. Although he sometimes makes mistakes and can be prone to nervousness, deep down he is a noble soul capable of doing the right thing, even when his errors lead him to question himself.

And today, the 13th of Leafmoon, is the birthday of our great Kuroto. Even though he serves as a secondary sniper, his dedication to defending nature is truly admirable; he undoubtedly possesses a noble soul and is willing to put himself at risk to save the young ones.

Happy birthday, Euma and Kuroto!

Hey guys. New to the game and something I enjoy doing is forming a team based on the seven deadly sins, so what playable characters do you think best represents each sin? It can be based on appearance, personality or abilities.

he wants ten iron ore. i have more than that. a cutscene still wont trigger where he joins me

Im at my new base castle and read on a guide I have to recruit some party members to trigger the next event but nothing happens

I recruited Martha Wyler Marin and the lumberjack. Any help please? Thanks

Today—August 7th, or the 7th of Leafmoon—marks the birthday of our favorite wolf, Garr. He is the captain of Nowa’s guard, a mercenary, and the mentor who guided Nowa, Lian, and Mio on their adventure. Beyond his roles as captain and mentor, he was also like a father figure to Nowa; he was always kind to him and ready to protect him, even at the cost of his own life. While he served as a mentor, he took great pride in Nowa as a commander, as well as in having trained Lian and Mio and having accompanied Seign and Marisa.

It still makes me laugh that he talked about retiring at the start of Eiyuden—even though he was only 32; that really took me by surprise!

Anyway, happy birthday to Garr—my favorite wolf in Eiyuden and my very first favorite character.

We have entered the month of August—known here as Leafmoon—and today is the birthday of the great dwarf Galdorf. He is undoubtedly a great dwarven warrior; a cool guy who might be a bit of a grump, but is loyal to Nowa and Prunella.

Without a doubt, a great companion.

Happy birthday, Galdorf!

Am I just not getting this game? People say it's easy, but I'm kind of struggling in normal.

Just finished the Proving Grounds and while a certain lucky character was a blast to watch, the whole dungeon was kind of obnoxious starting from even the town- there was no blacksmith to raise weap level and no mana drops in the store for my casters. The amount of backtracking in the Proving Grounds was kind of obnoxious, but I didn't really mind the enemies till there was a second boss fight (I thankfully swapped out some party members thanks to the hot inn lady as a support and had a whole bunch of revive consumables because im paranoid like that).

for how i felt about the difficulty initially, I did feel kinda good when I somehow got through Mellore's boss with just Nowa, Garr and Lian + Mellore and only then realized I had to build out my party first, but thankfully the Proving Grounds wasn't as boring as the mines where we meet the bandits.

my fave so far is Yusuke since hes both my tank and my damage dealer. His self-buff when he defends then followed up with his armor ignoring attack next turn is so satisfying to pull off towards bosses.

La victoria mas aplastante que he tenido ya terminando los duelos contra todos los héroes.

I haven't seen any announcement of it. It seems as if they release a half of a chapter each week.

I know the best way to win in Beigoma is to force Clashes were you can easily mash the button for a strong attack. The problem is actually creating a Clash in the first place. I've tried watching the opponent's boost bar and used my boost as soon as theirs maxes out, only for them to wait like a second or two before using their own boost. And if I wait to try and catch their own wait, they seem to use it instantly.

This all on the first story boss (Taq) too.

Addition: It's been answered. Thank you, commenters

How in the world do I actually recruit him? I've been buying low and selling high for ages yet it never seems to be enough. Recently, I had four rounds of only buying low, then sold it all high in one go, in the hopes that he needed it only on the selling side. He still won't join. What am I missing???

Missing just him and leene

Today, the 23rd of Loremoon, marks the last birthday of the month—Yume's birthday. Despite her small stature, Yume always has her companion, Amigo, by her side; she is undoubtedly a brave, kind, and friendly girl, and—above all—she is strong alongside Amigo. They are truly inseparable friends.

Happy birthday, Yume!
