Recruiting Max and Sancho in Japanese from the SOUTH?!

Post by KlownKefka »

I was watching SacrificialJizo's stream the other day (definitely recommend, he is dual playing games in Japanese and English simultaneously and checking translation differences, about to start Suikoden 2), and when he got to the Northen Checkpoint to get Max and Sancho, in Japanese he was able to walk right up and they showed up, but in English, as usual, he had to leave from the North and come back down to get them to appear. Is ANYONE familar with the game in Japanese enough to know if this is normal in Japanese, or if this was a potential glitch/bug due to emulation? His save wasn't close enough for him to go back and check.

It definitely seems possible both ways in the Japanese and North American versions, you can see it in multiple playthroughs:

Went and watched his VoD, on the English version he went around the loading zone to start recruitment. It doesn't actually cover the whole width of the path, so you can get around it from the south. Don't think skip it from the north due to the path being less wide there.

Here's a timestamped link to the VoD: https://www.twitch.tv/videos/776941561?t=01h56m31s

Thanks you two! I've played through Suikoden 1 a lot and I must have always gone passed the recruit path too so always assumed you HAD to recruit from the North. Appreciate it!

That makes so much more sense now. Thanks Z3R0 and El_Nombre.
