ding ding ding! ^^ I was waiting for posts/people to mention Cathari since I myself just got her last night and her comments with Lucretia were nuggets of gold! (although it expands the story, it left me more with questions)Rivera wrote:Harmonia probably WILL invade Falena while on the subject of this, or eventually launch a skirmish. We know Harmonia is trying to capture the 27 True Runes, and does have troops in the millions compared to 100,000 or so.
Cathari mentions being sent to observe the situation and in her blurb says that the empire she comes from would not involve themselves with Falena for years to come.
Years to come indicating eventually it may happen. Also someone mentioned the Sun Rune as a weapon - yes, thre Sun Rune CAN be a weapon, HOWEVER, we've seen what happens when the Sun Rune is used as such; it would destroy not only the enemy but cause a destruction far beyond human decency. The Sun Rune being used if Falena were invaded might destroy invaders, but Falena itself would also be destroyed.
Also, this statement is considering that Falena is the only country with a True Rune that could do that - Harmonia likely has gotten a hold of several True Runes.
-who is Lucretia truly?
-what cause did she turn her back on?
-Cathari = Harmonia, no doubts about it.. does that mean Lucretia was a top strategist for the Harmonian kingdom? ...perhaps a lost princess o_O (lol, yay imagination)
-her comments about nations up north greatly interested and more important: observing the events currently going down in the Falenan kingdom.. Scarlet Moon? Harmonia? hmm..
-Sun Rune: people definitely know about it.. and are interested in it for its WMD-like capabilities
but yea, this whole new branch on the story got me sooo interested, we may even see future-suikoden game groundwork being laid down
