Is there any information whatsoever about who Riou and Nanami's real parents are?

I think Riou and Nanami are not even blood related brother & sister. This had been mentioned in the game once or twice.

About their real parents, i think even in the last Suikoden there wouldn't be an answer, but who knows?

It`d be nice to know more about them(or know anything about them, really), but I doubt we ever will.

I doubt we will ever know.
Its just not that important.
Besides, their stories have ended in Suikoden 2.
With so many wars going on in the Suikoden world, orphans are not really that uncommon anyway.

You know we might find out that they are some kind of a royalty from far away land that been concurred by an evil empire (imagine that). Genkaku the hero saves the children of his gone friend by telling the people that they are orphans of war and train them until they can go and reclaim the throne, but too bad he died :cry: before he could reveal this secret to Riou and Nanami. (good one) :wink:

I know Riou was an orphen but Nanami was an orphen too?
o.o I always thought Gankaku and Nanami were blood relatives....

then again, now that I think about it...Genkaku and Nanami being blood relatives would sort of be odd......

Nope. They specifically say that Nanami was also adopted several times throughout the game.

Some people said that there's possibilities that Riou is Tir's brother, which meant Teo McDohl is his father. Their hair cut looks similar, aren't they? Again, I'm not so sure...some people write stories that they are brothers, though.

The way how Nanami sees herself as a big sister makes me believe they are indeed from the same family originally. Oh btw this topic is 4 years old ^^

I thought one of the points of the game was they were like an actual family even though they weren't related. Take that in contrast to Jowy's family who were blood related to each other in certain ways and had a very difficult relationship. I don't think the fact that Nanami loves and protects Riou is a sign they are actually blood related, it is a trait brought on by upbringing.

Meh 4 years old? Then its time for a comeback. I have to say i hadnt even considered Nanami and Riou to be from differant families, i thought it made sense for them to be blood relatives but who knows, its entirely possible that Genkaku took Nanami in first, then Riou, which, dispite age, would give Nanami the feeling of being the older sibling.

I could easily imagine her showing Riou the ropes of Genkaku's place, looking out for him in the town since he was the new kid that sort of thing.

I'm just tossing in guesses but it might be possible that Riou OR Nanami's parents might have been long gone.There are some possibilities that they might be still alive still living in Kyaro,still can't pick up enough courage to tell Riou OR Nanami.Also(RANDOM COMMENT JUST CAME TO MY MIND),why does the Innkeeper at Kyaro know Riou that well...I mean...I don't think Riou would go to an inn alot....If I guess just a little bit more,maybe Riou and Nanami ARE blood-related,as in,there IS a chance that Riou came in after Nanami was already adopted.Maybe Genkaku didn't want to tell them that their parents were the same.Still,I still find this the thing that keeps bugging me when I think of Suikoden II.

mm....probably...
beside, they're really looked like siblings. And if it's not..well..i dunno..
How about Riou and Tir?? If you speak with Koh in banner village, he said something about Riou and Tir similarity(thair faces). Are they related? :?

Well there not related by blood ofcourse, they are more like related because they were heroes of the war. In suikoden 3 Luc would say the same thing to hugo....

And if you have not noticed it yet, why not look at every tenki eyes...there pretty similar and add hugo to the list as well.

I would say Riou and Tir are definitely not related. I know in later suikodens like Suikoden 4 & 5 they make a big deal about heritage and relationships. Like Lazlo being Lino's son and Ferid being Skald's but I don't think they did anything like that at all with Riou or with Nanami. Then entire point of the game was that even though there was no blood relation between them Genkaku, Nanami, Riou and even Jowy were all family. They were more of a family to Jowy then his own blood family. They say it directly in the game, Nanami says "Even though we weren't related by blood, we really were a family weren't we?" Or something very close to that effect.
