My character in Suikoden 5 never die in army battle.

but yes in Suikoden 1. Maximilian's apprentice, who's his name again? die when i try to use him in the final battle. I load again and try again. He is still dying. Oh, well. Next times, i don't use him again.

It's just a case of how you conduct your battles, if you go all out, you're very likely to lose a character, if you're more reserved and attack only when they come to you then you're unlikely to lose any characters, let alone men.

I've been fairly lucky overall with deaths.

I had Maximillian die in a game of Suiko 1. I think it was actually the final battle too.

In my first playthrough of 5 I lost Zegai, which sucked because I'd only got him shortly before that battle.

I didn't realise Hazuki leaves too if Belcoot dies. I'd better not try and get him killed, however sorely tempted I am

[Mullenger]

Ive only ever had one character ever die on me in the whole of the Suiko serie and that was Leapants wife in number 1 - Eileen i think it was.

I was heartbroken..... *sobs*

One more for Belcoot i guess, it was during the final fight but i figured oh well i'll see what goes on and how things go only to have Zegai die out on me. Quite instantly = reset :*laugh*: :*laugh*:

I save often, so it isn't really a problem for me. However, here are the deaths that I have experienced:

Suikoden I: To add insult to injury right as my entire army was wiped out by Kwanda Rosman, Eileen kicked the bucket.

Suikoden II: I think that a few of my characters were killed off, but I know for a fact that I saw Tai Ho die. That was depressing. I restarted and kicked ass the next time around.

Suikoden V: I also experienced the Belcoot death. It was weird, though, because he died in a naval battle. Oh well. The game was restarted and I achieved a Victory+.

I can't believe I did it again, I replayed Suikoden V and guess what happened during the Lordlake defense against Maja Sparna...

...Belcoot died again.

Man, you all must suck in the Suikoden V army battles to be losing units. :P (I kid)

The only time I had someone die was way back in Suikoden I. I didn't have any ninjas, so had to stick to the random guessing. I picked Luc to attack and unfortunately got pelted by arrows.

Bye bye, Luc.

In Suikoden I, I found character deaths a lot more dominant than in II or V. I can not rememebr which units bit the dust, but I do remember having to reset several times. I have a question, if Luc dies in Suikoden I, and you transfer data from that file to Suikoden II, will Luc still be a SoD? Same with Sheena or Meg. I'm unsure if either of them can die in Suikoden I, but I don't think they're exempt like a few other characters would be.

Suikoden II, there were only two instances I remember having to reset because of character deaths. One was Gilbert who for some reason couldn't take out a meager Highland infantry unit (even after Tsai fire speared them) and the other is, of course, Ridley. Ridley died in that game more often than he retreated. It was such a pain in the butt, but I used him anyhow, because he wasn't that bad of a unit.

I don't think characters could die in Suikoden III's major fights, or if they can, you'd have to be a fricking idiot, or insanely undferleveled to lose a major fight in that game.

Suikoden IV? No clue. I played it and beat it once for completion purposes. I don't remember ever losing a single boat in those fights.

As far as Suikoden V is concerned, the only major fight which caused me any degree of difficulty was the final march on Sol-Falena. The one where you had 2 groups of boats and a group marching up the center. For some reason Eresh likes to die in that battle. I never had a problem with Belcoot dying. Maybe its because I always had him with Boz and some other highly powerful person (Dinn? Hazuki?). Very rarely did I lose any units in a battle. And most of the time if I did, I guess I got lucky and they all retreated safely.

It is an interesting addition that some characters leave after they die on the battlefield. I wonder if Hix or Tengaar would leave it the other were to die in Suikoden II? I don't think Suikoden I had anything like that. But it might be in Suikoden II. Who knows. Its pretty cool when they do things like that. It just adds to the overall awesomeness of the game. Little things like that keep it real and make it superior to others in the series. The group doing Suikoden VI better take a page from Suikoden V's book (or the whole damn thing as far as I'm concerned) and pay attention to these kinds of details.

The guy who fought against Teo (Pahn, right?) died in that battle and once I lost that mercenery from Zexen in Suikoden II (something with G, I thing). It was a huge surprise, but after I knew it I could avoid his death.
I never lost a single person in the other Suikoden games, though.
