Variation during re-playthroughs

Sasarai is cute · Post by **Sasarai is cute** » Thu Sep 15, 2005 5:10 pm

I would like to have your suggestions on how to make Suikoden 1 and 2 the most varied during new playthroughs. I am unfortunately a little static, and when I find an effective method I hardly stray from it.

Anything from using unique combination of characters, extremely effective and unusual ways to defeat certain bosses ultra-fast, getting rare items or recruiting various characters in a different order, creating super characters or anything.

It doesn't have to be the most effective methods. I want variation and fun and I want to try different things.

Give me your favorite ways of adding new spice to these old games.

Maybe give him a link first right? It's rather hard to find threads once they falls of this first page.

The thread is stickied in the S2 forum. It won't fall off the page.

It's sticky, so it's automatically on the first page, but here's the link you're talking about:

Make SII more challenging

It only really applies to Suikoden II, though.

Ohh well then, Lets lock this one down!

Sasarai is cute wanted to ask how to make Suikoden I less static as well. Although it is true that Suikoden II has a thread for that already Suikoden I doesn't. Therefore, as long as you stick to discussing Suikoden I variations, there isn't a need to lock this thread.

then this thread should be stickied in 1, and everybody should make suggestions to make 1 harder just like 2s sticky

There are two that I have tried that spring to mind:

1) Complete the game using the least people possible in your party at all times - this makes some parts hard, especially Sharazade bosses with just the Hero and Viktor.

2) Complete the game getting the least people possible - Let everyone who can die die, try to kill your people in major battles, dont recruit anyone you dont have to etc...
