skill system
based on what i read from King's blog translations, the skill system seems much less flexible this time. are there really only 2 skill slots per character? can the few skills you can equip on characters really make a huge difference in making a character "specialized" at something? are there enough "Legend skills" to compensate the lack of skill slots for your frequent party members? How diverse can these Legend skills get....

Sars has also said that Skills can be combined, in theory, you could just stack your best skills.

Indeed. I didn't really bother with skills at all. I'm already at the final dungeon. I'll play with the skill system in new game+.are there really only 2 skill slots per character?
EDIT: I just beat it, meaning it's possible to complete Suikoden V without really worrying about the skill system.
And unfortunately, learned skills don't carry over into new game+(skills I upgraded to C went back to default of D). That means less incentive to max out skills for every single character.
Only the total shared pool of skill points carried over. But using points from that pool means less points to carry over into the next new game+.

lol. yes i was referring to skills with multi-skill features as "Legend" skills. but i was still curious as to how dynamic they make a character. i'm currently enjoying Wild Arms Alter Code F where all the characters are completely unique. Suikoden has always had some diversity, but they follow the same formulas, so the only thing that can really make one fighter more distinct than another fighter with similar stats are unique runes or skills they are particularly effective with.

Just to post my opinion about the new skill system. (altough I didn't play SuikoV yet)
I recently got SuikoIII, and I liked the skill system... but there was some things bothering me. The numbers of skills slots between 3-8 depending on which characters, sometimes too much fixed skills (Chris...), maxed skills kinda low for some chars, and the limited efficiency of some skills under A rate.
It may be because my customization style is more like "Extreme specialisation" than "All-around" chars. So I hope the SuikoV skill system will be more "Extreme specialisation" with only 2 slots. No more mage with 4-5 runes skills and "only" 3 runes slots no ?

You no longer train specific rune magic skills in the game. Instead, rune affinities are presented upfront as part of the characters' natural stats.
The only fixed skills in the game are support skills. Otherwise, it is still possible to create both specialist or all-rounder using the new skill system.
