Man lvling in this game is a chore
Even after reading some of the tip threads, its just hard...course maybe this is why i never been a huge tactics fan
Im loving the story alot, and the game...but i dont find myself loving battles like i do in regular turn based rpgs. Actually i enjoy the story battles more than going into Ruins and trying to lvl up, weird i know.

Nah, it's not really weird. The key in SRPGs is that you have to be kinda patient and especially enjoy the pace those games take.
If it makes you feel better, you won't spend Disgaea-quality time with Suikoden Tactics during a playthrough. The game's kinda short if you exclude Quest Guild jobs and some bonuses, but still.

Well, its funny because i do have patience for the most part, i played MMORPGs for about 7 years and the lvling in those games were insane lol but i was used too it.
And i enjoy lvling up big time in rpgs, like every rpg ive played in the last 15 years or so i always go crazy lvling up my party.
When FF tactics came out, i just wasnt into it. Maybe i didnt give it a huge chance though at the time, but turn based rpgs is my thing.
Im actually loving the quest parts of this game, its just i wish there was a bit more exp within battles. But im getting used too it, after i made this post i treked into Obel ruins lvl 3 and got the ancient coin, im starting to get a better system here i think.
I cant imagine how Disgaea is though, i own that and La Pucelle and they been on my backburner for quite awhile now.
Being i love Suiko series so much im just going to stick it out no matter what, and the more i play the more i like it of course.
Are there any good guides that show what some of the best runes/equipment for each particular character would be?

Im having a hard time though guaging what lvl is where i should be right now, i just did the battle of El-Eal and it went pretty good.
But I think my highest chars are lvl 9 and 10, and then like Rita is lvl 8 now, Maxine is 7 i think, Rene is 6 i think, Hervey and Sigurd are bout 6 right now, just got those 2.
Not sure if i should go deeper than lvl 3 in the ruins now to get all chars a bit higher or if they are at a decent lvl to move forward with.

Keep a good team of ~10 characters, and prepare them well. As long as you distribute EXP from story battles more or less evenly between these characters, I don't think you will ever need to go out of your way to overlevel for this game, unlike most other sRPGs.
I aim to have my units at most one level lower than the lowest level enemy on the battlefield. For S ranks.

The spells are exactly the same stats-wise, arent' they?son_michael wrote:This is how the rune of punishment should have been in suikoden 4...INSANELY POWERFUL
Minus the self-damage, that is. If you take that part away from Punishment's spells in Suikoden IV, then there won't even be a story to tell.

Apart from with Double-Edged Sword. That spell dishes out some ungodly damage if you concentrate it on just one or two enemies.patapi wrote:The spells are exactly the same stats-wise, arent' they?son_michael wrote:This is how the rune of punishment should have been in suikoden 4...INSANELY POWERFUL

Yeah, my Lazlo has had his ass kicked more than a few times. And I still don't think the RoP is on par with certain other true runes. But he's a pretty damn good character, and can't be killed.patapi wrote:The spells are exactly the same stats-wise, arent' they?son_michael wrote:This is how the rune of punishment should have been in suikoden 4...INSANELY POWERFUL
