Shu and the Highest Rebellion

Post by suiko2fan2 »

Every little blurb i read about the Higheast Rebellion, says that Shu caused some kind of internal discord in Harmonia to prevent an advancement of Harmonian troops, with the help of Flik or Victor or something like that. Anyhow, does anyone know exactly what Shu did to cause the discord? What was his plan and how did Flik or Victor fit into it?

I don't think any such specific details of the rebellion have ever been released.

It's also mentioned in Suikoden 3 by various characters.

I don't have any input or seen anything related to Shu being involved but I do remember in SIII they make a reference to the Higheast rebellion like Vextor said. I actually thought it was a little hilarious how it was brought up. When Geddoe and company go to the northern cavern to meet with Salome I remember Ace trying to b.s Duke and his crew telling them that basicaly we have another mission, its to stir up the Higheast rebellion. Duke says something like don't even try to pull that garbage on me and Ace says somethin like its a secret mission and then Elaine says the Higheast rebellion was over 15 years ago. Probaly one of the funniest dialogues in the game.

From the context of Suikoden 3.

The Higheast rebellion was a plot by Harmonia to recreate the Hiland Kingdom 3 years before Suikoden 3 started.

Ace and assumably everyone else in the defence force took part in trying to stur up a rebellion but it failed.

In the context of Suikoden 3. Ace was saying that he was still tryin to carry out this mission as a way to BS Duke into leaving them alone because Ace never got an order to stop doing the mission suposidly.
I'm a fan but I'm also a critic. Without preasure to improve stagnation is the future. Do not accept lackluster because of your enjoyment of the overall picture. Criticism is needed for improvement to be made.

yes thanks to S3 and some other sources, i know we can get some of the "whats" and "whys" but i want to know the "hows" of Shu's plan. oh well, i guess we may never know.

I don't remember where exactly I read it, but Shu did whatever to cause some sort of internal rebellion / minor skirmish within Harmonia, which required Harmonia to divert their resources to deal with that incident.

Also, one Japanese Suikoden V guides includes a timeline, stating that "General Sudlum of the Harmonian Regional Army invades Higheast" and then he's ordered by higherups to withdraw later on, making it look like this general's own action (and that Harmonia's involvement wasn't intentional).

Likely we'll never find out the truth.
