Hey guys,
I could've sworn I was already a member of this lovely community, but I guess I just always lurked all these years. So anyways, it was about high time I made an account because Suikoden is my favourite ever series, and I do have a question for you guys.
I chose the cover arts for the original Suikoden PAL and NTSC releases as my subjects for a visual analysis I have to do for my studies. I am a teacher by trade and have gone back to college to get a second degree in it... and visual analysis is one of the courses. All of that is pretty uninteresting, but I have a question for you guys, one that I could not find an answer to.
The Suikoden 1 mural, the one with the hero in the middle and all the characters around him, features what appears to be a stone etching of a rose in the top. I never noticed it before. It took me a bit to find it used in the game, since I couldn't remember, but I found out it is used as the Liberation Army banner in the army battles section. I can't remember if this banner design is mentioned anywhere. Is there a specific story behind the banner?
Thanks for your help!
Kind wishes,
