I have nothing better to do, so I will join...

Beecham

Has anyone ever wanted why in the first place many of the 108 even choose to join in the first place? Many of them have absolutely no reason to even join the war.

Let us take a few examples:

Sarah in Suikoden joins you after you help her with an errand by helping her get soap. Don't You find it EXTREMELY riduculous to join forces with a person who helped you get some soap (and worse still, you rejected it... :x ).

Adlai in Suiko2 joined you after you threw a wind crystal at him. I mean, huh? You joined me because I abused you?? Strange, ain't it?

Gordon (suiko 2) joins because you earned 50000 potch. Please, it is just an excuse. If he had really wanted to expand his industries, why would he care if you earned 50000 potch or not? So what if you have business sense?

These are all I can think of now. If anyone can think of anymore feel free to add.

To put it more simply in general, all stars join because that is their fate they are born under a specific star and they fill that place.

Suikoden II had alternate stars like Valeria and Kasumi, but only one of them counts officially as a star.

Now Konami can find all sorts of reasons for stars to join like Mukumuku or Testu.

To get the good ending which is the ending that counts thus far you have to get all the stars, they're destined to join your army.

This is my theory/view on this anyway.

I thought of this too. Some have no good reasons.

Estella tells you to find that village of males (can't remember its name offhand) and you come back and tell her you can't find it. She's kinda like "Yeah, whatever, why not?". It drives me insane. Don't these people have lives?

And joining your party just because you are level what ever isn't. And as for Sara, I think she's an evil assassin or wizard or something. I mean you go on this huge quest traveling and trading, and for what. Somone to wash your clothes. How the hell is one person going to wash the clothes of an entire army, and why would someone want to. You forget it's not just the stars, but the thousands of masses that fight in paper, rock, scissor mode for you. Unless she is #1 a powerful wizard, and uses magic to get it all done, she'ld be washing morning, noon, and night. #2 she is some sort of spy/assassign. She must really want to get into the castle for some reason, and sending you all over creation looking for soap for her is just her way of testing your patience. Those people you trade with are probably spies of hers. Either way she has some other motive that we don't know about. The woman is evil and can not be trusted.

Hey, evil or not, she gives you the only Cyclone Rune to be found in S2 (other than Guardian Diety prize). With that kind of dowry I don't care if she's an evil assassin.

What always bothered me was that you can recruit two cooks in S1, and neither of them do anything. I mean, they just stand in the inn and take up space. There isn't even a kitched in the castle! What the hell! There's a bloody rose garden and a chemistry lab, but no way to feed the soldiers. Unless they eat raw turnips right out of Blackman's wee patch of land. Bah.

But they actually do something. They bonk enemies on the head with frying pans. You're totally underestimating the mighty power of the frying pan, espeically when upgraded to level 16 by a decent blacksmith.

Of course, where a blacksmith learns to upgrade frying pans to deal more damage than they normally do is beyond me at the moment. Maybe Mace adds a few spikes and razors to the sides of the pans for extra slicing and dicing. That way the frying pan can second as a kitchen knife.

I felt that Estella was testing you like Adlai did in Suikoden II. She probably knew that there was no village of men, and she wanted to see if you would know that as well.

Or, she could be just stupid and was trying to get rid of you. Oh well, I guess we will never know.

Yeah, it gets pretty bad at times. That whole destiny thing sounds good, whenever I'm scratching my head when a person joins, that's what I'll tell myself.

It's because whoever the Tenkai star is, is said to have the power to unite people to one cause. So it doesn't matter who said person is, the power of the Tenkai Star moves them to join his cause no matter if they have no previous plans or will to join such a cause.
