Most annoying character to recruit.

Just get Clive near the end, if your not too interested in using him in battle. He is much easier to find the later you are in the game. And yeah, you're right, I needed to use a guide to find all the places and correct answers to get Hortez, pretty annoying...

the hardest characters to recruit is....
suikoden1- that bastard Leon!!!! i hate him!!! i jsut replayed suikoden 1 and i totally forgot about him sooo i try to go get him and i can't!! because Mathiu (or whatever) isn't sitting in his room!! sooooo i end the game with 107 stars!! what a pain!! i took all that time only to not get them all! i hate leon for that reason!

suikoden 2- hahaha well i would have to say it was Mcdohl (or Zcdohl in my game hahah damn leon!) hahahha i know he isn't a star but it was a pain going back to get him if something happened were my party switched

suikoden 3- mmmmmm i don't know this game was way easy and nothing was that difficult. but the most painful i would say is the liar Estaller.....whatever yeah she's dumb.......not that it was hard to get her she's just a liar!!!o but Holtes VII wasn't hard for me cause my friend told me how to get him......but i can totally see him being way hard

You don't need Gordon to find out how much profit you've made from trading, all you need is a pencil and a piece of paper. It's just basic math, since you know what the price of something is when you buy it and you know how much you end up selling it for, so... just subtract the original purchase price from the selling price and what ever is left is your profit. If you keep track, you won't find you've made a trip to Gregminster only to find you're one potch below the requirement.

As long as the "buy low, sell high" rule is adhered to, it shouldn't take too long to complete the mission.

Clive in S1. He is oh such a pain to get. I mean, how many times must I enter and re-enter and enter and re-enter and enter...etc. Not cool Clive, not cool at all.

I thought the most annoying people to recruit were the ones you had to play Chinchiron with
I personally stink at that game =.=

the optional dogs in Suikoden 3 were also almost as annoying as a the squirrels from S2 unless you know exactly where they are before hand...

and oh yes...Gilbert from Suikoden 2. >.< Darn you Gilbert and your *runs out to the middle of the battlefield -"OUCH I'm hurt" *switches sides* XO "you injured me! so now you gotta RESCUE ME!! I'm not moving til you rescue me!!"

I didn't find anyone in S3 particularily hard to recruit *was one of the lucky people who found Landis first try*

I thought the mini quest with Hix and Tengaar was pretty annoying. But Gilbert and the dogs in S3 were easy for me for some reason. I just found them while looking around and Gilbert most of the time never died. I thought the Hix and Tengaar quest was so damn stupid -o-

yeah, there is some like 5% chance that Gilbert will die.... very samll, but if that happens just reset and the next time you have a very good chance of getting him.

1. Leon Silverberg (S1)

He is one of the most finicky characters to get. Not only because you have to be at a certain amount of people before he'll even consider it, but there's also the possibility that once he gives you the damn letter, Mathiu won't let you give it to him. Grr. I can't be the only person who restarted a game because of this.

2. Esmeralda (S1)

If you're not fortunate enough to find an opal right away...*sigh* It's a double whammy with Esmeralda, too, because not only is she a pain in the ass to get, but she's also a useless character - she can't even be used in battle!

3. Jabba (S1)

Same deal as Esmeralda. If you weren't fortunate enough to get a nameless urn right away, it could be hours of chasing those damn holly things! Hours!

What is it with Suikoden 1 and frustrating characters?

4. Clive (S1 AND S2)

Clive may be the coolest cat in Suikoden, but he's a royal pain in the patootie to get. He rarely seems to appear in Suikoden 1 (it takes forever, usually - even near the end of the game he doesn't seem to show up much) and in Suikoden 2, should you be unfortunate enough to not travel up a certain backstreet in Muse, you will never, ever be able to get Clive.

5. Crowley and Mazus (S1 and S2, respectively)

Simply because I find dungeon crawling for the use of one character truly annoying. Also because they never join your party until it's really too late to put them to any good use. A pity.

6. Gilbert (S2)

Forget to have someone injure him in that first battle (without killing him)? See goodbye towards ever getting the strangely hands-off mercenary. (He can only fight in war battles? :shock: Why?)

7. The Blacksmiths (S1)

Simply because it's truly a pain to have to recruit a new blacksmith every time I want my weapon sharpened another 3 levels. I'm sooo glad they replaced this with the idea of the hammers, even though I liked the blacksmiths as characters.

8. Hortez VII (S3)

Annoying, because I never knew where he was going to show up. Worse, he doesn't fulfill much of a role during S3; at least Raura was easy to get.

9. The Squirrels (S2)

Don't get them the first time you're in greenhill? Good luck later, then. Have fun hunting for Squirrels for hours. (To add insult to injury, the Squirrels aren't even particularily good characters!)

See also: Landis (who is a better character)

10. Lebrante (S2)

Simply because finding a cerulean vase is either incredibly timeconsuming or incredibly expensive. Worse, Lebrante is like the most expensive appraiser in the game, so you're more or less better just teleporting to a random town instead of bringing your antiques to him. :evil:

I always found Hix and Tengaar annoying to get... ( in S2 ) ... I mean sure the quest is amusing, but soo much running for so little gain...

Also Mondo and Sasuke, I always choose Valeria so these two can be tricky as you need to get them pretty much last.

I despise Esmeralda. The Opal is so annoying to find. Jabba is also pretty annoying, but at least he is useful; this makes up for finding that damn urn.

It was easily Clive in Suikoden I and Landis in Suikoden III, JABBA TOO!!! GARRRRR, mostly Clive though, I always thought he was upstairs, so I got lucky and accidentally caught a glimpse of him once. Looks like he's got a hump in the front of his cloak, haha it's interesting, love that guy! Landis though, aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaargh lol. Leon I messed up a few times too, yep yep, burnt my biscuits good.

I thought Hix and Tengaar was the most annoying in both the first and the second game. In S1, I had te perfect party lined up until Hix decided to play hero for Tengaar and join me in Neclord's castle. I didn't even fight with him. I put him in the back of my party where he just healed before his low HP was gone.
In the second game, and the first time I played, I recruit them without the Blinking Mirror which was a bad idea. I ran everywhere to take Hix on his fake mission to rescue Tengaar. But it wasn't so bad i guess when I did it the second time with the blinking mirror.

I always got Gordon on my first trip to Gregminster simply because trading is the easiest way to make tons of cash. I'd already fit the bill by the time I met him. ;3

Clive and Leon in Suikoden I are my picks. Clive would never show up (I've had Landis show up faster than that!), and I have trouble remembering to get Leon before Mathiu gets injured.
