Who do you think is the most underated character?

Shiro is the awesome. I know you can't give him armor, but stick a double beat rune on him and he really takes it out. He holds his own pretty well. Being my favorite character, I never leave him out of my party, and sometimes he's the last one standing.

if i'm not mistaken, the dragon scale also restores 15 hp per round; not a great deal, mind you, but in an intense battle, sometimes a measly 15 hp can be the difference between another round and game over...

In Suikoden 2 I'd say Kinnison. I also think Eilie should have had a bigger role. She's a bit like Kasumi in a way. She gets bashful when the hero talks to her. She should admit her love for him.

For me...

Suikoden 1: Sonya Schulen. She really had potential as a bitter character towards McDohl, but I was disappointed that they didn't develop it with like an evening conversation instead of that jail talk

Suikoden 2: Pilika. She really went through a lot, and is Jowy's visible weakness. Whenever Pilika is near Jowy, those are the only times I like him. Though Konami really should've cut down on the periods used to emphasize her mute condition. >_<

Suikoden 3: Hands down Cecile. She may be a young knight, but she had more energy than the Zexen Knights put together. She really was there for Thomas when he was down, and she does her job as castle guard superbly. She even has the five dogs as her fellow guards!

Suikoden 4: (highlight below)

Rene. I know everyone's going to call me crazy, but is there anyone else who can help you get the Champion Rune and eliminate those stupid sea battles? Other than Viki, I didn't think so.

I think Eileen from Suikoden I doesn't get much recognition. Her earth rune really helped me out in the beginning of the game, especially when I wanted to protect weak characters while trying to level up. At higher levels, her magic can become incredibly powerful. Pair her up with Lepant, and they've got a pretty powerful unite that can be used each turn.

In Suikoden III, I think Peggi is underrated. Sure, you can't play as him, but he's got a unique personality. His comments are funny when you sharpen your weapons (when you exit the menu, he says something along the lines of "see you soon, dead or alive" I can't remember the exact quote). Plus, having a blacksmith at your homebase is always useful.

In Suikoden 1 I would have to go with Mina and Lotte. In terms of Mina, who knew a dancer could be that great of a mage? On the Lotte subject, I know that she said that she was a mage, but I thought she was a pretty good one if anything.

In Suikoden 2 I would have to go with Nina and Yoshino. I thought that Nina had really good magic and hp stats, and she was really good with the Rage Rune. I thought that Yoshino was a pretty decent healer, but she could've had higher magic.

In Suikoden 3 I would have to go with Mel and Thomas. I thought that Mel was deceptivly potent in the fact that she has one or S ranks in magic ability (I know she had an S in lightning, but am not sure about Fire). She actually was the best character in Thomas' chapters. I know that Thomas was at first one of the weaker ones, but once you level him up, and sharpen his weapons he becomes very good in battles.

In Suikoden 4 I would have to go with Wendel (I haven't really played with anyone else all that much that I thought was underrated). I thought that Wendel would be useless when I first saw her, but guess what? I was wrong. She was an excellent magician, and the only problem I really had with her was the fact that she died on me alot. In the end, she came through and was a great help.

There are at least three I can think of that are really underrated.

1) Joker - Although he can't get an S Rank in anything, he is a good magician, I believe he can get an A and a B+ respectively in Fire and Pale Gate Magic, and an A in Continual Attack. He was a character that was in my top rotation, and I loved his drinking habits :)

2) Ayame - She can get S rank in two things, Repel and Holy Dash. Her magic is only so so, but she is really, really fast. I also want to hear more about the Kage ninjas when I play the first two games this summer.

3) Piccolo - He is one of the Budehuc bunch. They all start and with most people stay at low levels, but once you get them to places like lv. 60, they get doing damage. At lv. 65, my Piccolo has magic almost as good as Sasarai. Juan, Thomas and Cecile are also amazing fighters when leveled.

Suikoden 1: Kai - McDohl's teacher, and he only has 2 weaknesses: Permanant Hazy Rune, and Low Magic Defense. But the Master/Pupil attack with Tir makes up for it, allowing you swiftly mop up random encounters. He's less useful in boss battles, but he can still deliver a fairly good hit. Permanant Hazy isn't without the advantage of dodging more often.

Suikoden 2: Kahn - Decent Mage with an M range weapon, and can stand to do decent damage with it. He's never useless in any situation.

Suikoden 3: Cecile- I swear, she took out 3 non-stop Zexen units alone in a major battle in Thomas Ch.2. She kept blocking and countering, destroying the soldiers one by one. And when the soldiers landed a hit, it wasn't for much. Cecile the Destroyer.

Suikoden 1 - Rubi - Her stats are great all around.

Her stats at level 60:

Power: 144
Skill: 171
Magic: 163
Speed: 165
Defense: 127
Luck: 42

HP: 632
MP: 8/7/5/3

With a level 16 weapon her attack is better than Fliks!

Suikoden 2 - Gengen, Shiro - I always call Gengen my "main man". I never go onto the muse mission after the Merc . fort is burned down without him and Shiro even if i have to do the mission over and over again. hes my favorite kobald and i heard his stats were good when he was leveled up high.

Kuromimi from Suikosource said these were his main stats for Gengen at level 76:

I never thought of Georg as underrated, heck, they practically have a shrine to him in the Suikosource forums. A strength like that is hard to overlook.

For me it is Thomas, completely and utterly all the way. He ended up with four skills with "A+" (meaning that they appeared as "C" in the training screens before you tried anything with them at all, detering people from ever going there anyway). For those who aren't aware, these skills were Accuracy, Parry, Wind Magic, and Repel. Nobody could touch mine. He had a Cyclone Rune, regulary allowing him to mop up any and all stragglers, good evade and skill stats, and I with Armor Protect, Parry, Repel, and Magic Resistance he took very little damage.

Of course, Cecile is a freaking tank, and should be remembered for illustrating the RPG law of mass parabolic strength: "The really cute small characters and big honkin' ones will have the best strength stats."

Also, a shout out to the lizards of S3, whose Str stats in combination with their weapons kicked everyone else into next week.

*nods to himself*

Well, it's hard to pick an under-rated character from the earlier games. Killey looked totally badass, but he really was NOT all that useful. Georg Prime was a beast, but he's pretty well acknowledged. In Suikoden I, I can't really think of anyone who was too under-rated. Camile might come to mind here, but again, I'm kinda' under the impression that most players like her.

Hmm, try Alen. (Suikoden I) If you level him up all the way, he'll get a LV 4 spell, which is DECIMATING. Final Flame is great.

Underrated from Suikoden II... I can't really say. I tried using who some other people from GameFAQs said were underrated, but they did not pan out too well. Maybe I could say Anita is underrated, 'cause she has a falcon rune... But, dang Valeria is SO MUCH BETTER, once you get her on your team. Really, don't pick Kasumi. I did once, and I will never do so again. lol Really, it's not worth the extra cut-scene with her and McDohl.
