My favorite Suikoden hero is Jowy. I know you don't actually play as him, but I consider he and Riou to be co-heroes, so to speak, of Suikoden II.
Jowy really evokes an empathy from the player. He's just so human. He's flawed. I find to be very endearing. You almost feel sorry for him, but then you realize he doesn't need pity. I know that sounds a bit emotional for a video game character, but Jowy is just that well developed. |

McDohl will always be my favorite Tenkai. HIs story and his struggle stir up more emotions in me than any of the others. _________________

You have emotions Scarlet?! I'm both shocked and dissapointed!
Favourite hero would have to be either Riou, Chris or Lazlo. I've liked all the heroes so it's hard to pick the best. |

I thought they didn't allow "My favourite is..." topics?
Anyhow, to stay on topic my favourite hero is probably Nash. Its a weird one to say but he just seems to have everything in hand, running around and making sure events go as planned without being thrust into glory. _________________

Suikosource doesn't (although they do have 4 forums devoted to the crazy theories of lunatics, go figure) but I'm not sure about Suikox.
Now that you mention it Nash is a good hero, that puts my favourite hero count up to 4. Damn it, it's meant to get smaller not bigger! Chris, Riou, Lazlo or Nash....who to pick.... |

I choose Geddoe as my favorite. It's either him or McDohl, but I'm currently leaning towards Geddoe. I liked his design a lot for starters. It really reflected his misteriousness. I was really surprised when I found out about his Rune, which is my favorite in Suikoden III and easily the strongest one in the offensive department. His party rocks too, and is the one who gets the most developement, along with Chris's. Oh, and the fact that he's well connected with the Grassland Clans, Zexen, and Harmonia is also a good reason. Because of all this Geddoe is my current favorite character. |

You were surprised at Geddoe's rune?! What about the masked bishop? Personally I found both pretty obvious, it was still a clever bit to the story though. |

Mcdohl is my favorite Tenkai star. His struggle against his father and his empire is just so epic and moving. _________________ "Into battle we ride
With gods by our side
We are strong, and not afraid to die
We have an urge to kill
And our lust for blood has to be fulfilled
We'll fight 'till the end, and send our enemies straight to hell!" |

Thomas is the only Tenkai or hero I ever really gave a damn about.
Fact is, Riou in Suikoden II was just a puppet for Shu. It was a really prominent and, in some ways, quite disturbing thread throughout the plot. In fact, I'd say Riou had the least amount of personality out of all the 'Silent Tenkai's'.
Tir McDohl was better, of course, but I only felt any real connection with the chap during his brief appearance in Suikoden II where he seems to be suffering much more than he ever did in Suikoden I.
Lazlo, of Suikoden IV fame, I did actually begin to warm to, up until around the time you're exiled from Razril. After that the plot rockets into hyperspeed and before I knew it the game was over.
Geddoe's mysteriousness is a crock with all his silence and lack of information used solely to avoid spoiling half the game for the player. He does have a decent storyline, however.
Hugo may be able to talk, but in almost every way he's mind-numbingly generic. The only thing that could've made him more of an RPG hero cliche is if he had shouted "NOOOOO!" when Lulu snuffed it.
Chris Lightfellow is a great character and one of my favourites, period. Great development and storyline without having to resort to 'female hero' cliches about conflicts between insulting 'male' and 'female' sides of their personality.
But, in the end, Thomas is the most 'real' of all the heroes. He's just a guy, thrust into a role he didn't really desire and who has to grow to fit it. He does this in a realistic manner, mind you, and not in the traditional Tenkai way of accepting the role as leader and suddenly all their inabilities melt away.
Honestly, the much touching scenes for me were all in Thomas' chapters. Especially Cecile's defence of him at Budehuc when he was about to be forcefully removed as master. _________________ One day, I shall come back. Yes, we shall all come back. Until then, there must be no regrets, no tears, no anxieties. Just go forward in all your beliefs and prove to me that I am not mistaken in mine. |

for me its a tie between the hero in suikoden 2 and the hero in suikoden they both have qualities that i can identify with and they both have runes that i would like to have if was in the world of suikoden.
suikoden 2 hero (don't know his first or second name) bright shield rune, those tonfas, buddy attack,double hero attack, family attack and that unite that he does with HOI thats just classic...
suikoden hero (...McDohl) soul eater rune, master pupil attack, double hero attack, that staff, being so much stronger that every one else when he comes back in suikoden 2, killing others to make himself stronger (on come on its ironic)...
they are both mute so we don't get to know what they are thinking and feeling, they both have people that are willing die for them (nanimi and gremio) _________________ ... |
