Rune Maelstrom

Post by Lovecraft_elder »

In the intro of Suikoden V, near the end of it, you see a maelstrom of Runes - both True Runes and common Runes.

Does anyone have any idea of what this place might be? Or does anyone have any actual facts of what this may be?

The true runes & other runes that appeared are the past runes from s1,2,3,4
i don't think that place really exist, maybe it has something to with the stars of destiny and there connection with both the true & normal runes in the past wars.

Nope. Only Runes we already know of appear in the malmstrom. Whould be nice, though.

I always thought this was meant to represent the creation of the world and all the runes in it....

I also thought the galaxy-looking maelstrom represented the beginning or the big bang. Which is pretty interesting, if that's the case this would hint at the creation tale being either false or incomplete.

I also remember seeing that maelstrom as part of the animation when you use the Bright Shield rune's Forgiver Sign. Maybe this is one of the rune's memories?
