You should follow a recruitment FAQ for this. Suikoden V has a lot of missable characters and even with a guide, I still missed Killey in my second playthrough. At the time you notice, it's already too late.

Re: Things that can prevent me from recruiting 108 stars
A lot of the recruiting requirements are a pain in the ass in this game. We have to put up with people turning us down a bunch of times before they finally join, and there are even characters who say "Yes! I can finally join you! ..... No, sorry, I can't." Cunts.
I got all 108 on my last play, but because I let Roy die, I had to keep coming back and asking Nick and his group after different storyline events. If you chose to leave the HQ, then they should join you automatically.
For Zegai, I make sure I support him in every dialogue about him being a criminal, or it may take longer for him to become recruitable.
I missed Rania on my mission to Sauronix, so I had to wait until I could go back there after allying with the Dragon Horse cavalry.
I had trouble with Taylor and Oboro and his group because they all showed up in storyline events and I just assumed that they joined me automatically, but I had to faff around with Taylor letting him use different rooms around my castle. And you get a pretty slim window of opportunity to recruit Sagiri and Nakula.
We have to put up with Murad declining us a load of times before he finally agrees to join, and if you don't spend a fortune at Mohsen's shop, then you'll have to be patient with him as well.
You have to read all of Egbert's ramblings without pressing the confirmation button too fast to recruit him.
Dongo, the little sh!tbag. I got him to max out one of my weapons with the gold hammer, but I never did it with the silver hammer, so he couldn't join me until after a certain event or something. I was using Wabon as a mobile blacksmith before I could access Dongo's shop in my HQ. I really hate when Suikoden games make me wait until the end of the game before I can recruit an in-house blacksmith (Tessai, I'm looking at you, you son of a whore.)

For those affection points, I used the translated guide by Punkaiser and it really works, I got most people without them declining my offer to join

i dont think that one is missable (unless you're already close to the endgame phase)gildedtalon wrote:I just missed Alhazred, now I have to try again in new game+
if you miss him on rainwall, you can also found him on estrise trading spot, it's in the port near to the ship and might not be easy to found
seems suikosource guide didnt mention this detail

Thanks for the link. I didn't even know dialogue options could affect unite attacks. This is all stuff that has not been mentioned in the Brady games strategy guide.

There was a challenge to Suikoden V's recruitment but it was a good 'un! So much improvement from its predecessors.

Re: Things that can prevent me from recruiting 108 stars
yeah, but in some ways they made it a bit too frustrating, especially when characters actually say "Yes, I can join you! Oh, no I can't, sorry!" in the same breath

Murad rings a bell. If I had my way once would of been enough, Princes don't do no chasing.
Jeane's recruitment was a nice touch even though it did raise even more questions.
