Other that Jowy and Riou, there are two characters who don't wear their helmets. Who are they?

It's really just some dude without his helmet, as odd as it may sound there is nothing to him really. I have an theory that some sprite artist dude made a sprite of himself and put it in for kicks. _________________

Yeah. I noticed those two helmet-less guys when listening to that song over and over again on Youtube. They don't seem to be significant. Perhaps they were just put in to create a slightly more diverse feel. |

Maybe they were put in so Riou and Jowy didn't look like they should have helmets on. |

My thoughts exactally. It would be wierd if they were the only two in the army thing who did not have to have a helmet on. _________________

I'd like to think it's there just to make us ask these exact questions. Final Fantasy 6 was good for that. :) |

I think the girl is supposed to be Jillia. The mansion is the Blight family's summer home and there are no other women in the family mentioned. Well, except for Sara Blight, but she would be a lot older than the girl in the yard (and didn't she go batty by that point?)
As for the no helmet thing, maybe they're officer of sorts? Not a coproral per se, but maybe a squad leader? If they were going to make it so that Riou and Jowy wouldn't they would probably have had a higher ratio of helmet-less guys. _________________

Perhaps they are other kids on the flash back videos, like the ones who pick on Jowy and Riou, I never really noticed them before to be honest. _________________ "In the rain, I'm calling you dear, find my way, can't you see me standing right here" ~ I.V - X Japan

One of those helmetless soldiers does indeed have a name!
I just can't remember it :(
This has come up before, but I wouldn't know how to find the old thread(s) of it. The soldier's name was revealed many years ago via some Genso Shinsyo article or short story or maybe even the Suikoden 2 novelization. I assume he was mentioned kind of off-hand, but I believe his helmetlessness (it's a word now, I just made it official) was pretty much the only detail about him.
He was one of this Suikoden characters everyone seems to have forgotten. He's not even in the SuikoX character database, which is a shame. And my knowledge of Suikoden has been fading since I played Suikoden 4, otherwise I would normally have an encyclopediac knowledge of each and every character that has ever been in or around a Suikoden game. _________________

Yeah, I remember that one of the Suikoden-related publications in Japan gave us a little backstory on those 2 guys. It was 4 or 5 years ago, I think. There might be something on suikosource.com about them, if you dig through that site and have a lot of patience. |

Im gonna go with one of three theories here.
1. As an earlier poster said, I think it might not be too insane to suggest that the two helmetless soldiers were just thrown in there to make Roiu and Jowy not look completly stuck out, it would be weird that everyone wears a helmet except them.
2. As another poster said, images of programmers in games is not unusual. It would'nt shock me if a couple of programmers had just made some sprites of themselves and drafted them in the game for a laugh. Even though they are'nt wearing helmets they dont stick out all that much.
3. My own personal theory is that they were Riou and Jowy prototypes they decided against and put them in there for fun. You never know though. _________________
