Yvl seems to feel the same and I can say I never see numerial patterns... That sounds said in some way, but I am not the number-guy who is especially aware of upcoming numbers. I belong to the group that is more affected to words. I am aware of words and I know when they are used at some days more often than on others. This is of course only a coincidence, but I see it. For example I recognised "hydra" used in 4 different articles or texts and in one tv-show and the word was only meant twice for the same description. You know what I mean? Once as the mythological creature and twice for an investment firm and once for a famous sportsman and I believe one or two other things.

Well, that DOES explain how they got the 108 stars...

I'll be sure to use that as one of my random numbers now that I know how much significance it carries.

108 is an important number.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/108_%28number%29

This wikipedia link, if it works, will show you just why (consider buddhist and hinduist religions).

You know maybe 108 was in our lifes before we played suikoden but we didn't notice it. Now that we played suikoden we notice the number. Even when I see a 54 I say: "Hey 54 x 2= 108" When I'm in school and the Match teacher do something that ends up in 108 I say "Oh 108 like in suikoden". But if I didn't played suikoden I would just see 108 and then say nothing.

It's not that it is appearing more, it's just that you notice it more often becasue your remembering the number. It's just chace that this happen, and more than likey would happen just as much had you not played the game. You just would group the number 108 with anything else, so it would just be a number.

Let's see in World of Warcraft my current character's Damage Per Second is 108 in my normal gear without a helmet, I don't normally use a helmet with stats because I have the oh so awesome Red Santa Hat.

On an episode of Stargate SG-1 today 108 is the number of hours they had until the Stargate was destroyed, until a failed plan cut it down to around 72 hours.

I always notice 108 if ever it appears somewhere. Whether it's 1:08 pm or a page in a book, i always take note of what's in there. Sometimes, even if it's not mentioned, i check the page to see what's in there.

I also notice than many equations in Algebra or Geometry include 108. Did you notice that 27 * 4 = 108? It's definitely affected me in some way. At least that's one mark of A Suikoden fan that will last for a VERY long time...

Yeah, sometimes I notice it when I look at the time, a page in a book, stats/EXP/damage/etc in games, or when I see random numbers here and there, like in bar codes and such. But I don't make a big deal out of it, it's just another number and I see many numbers in a day. :p However, when I see my favorite number(256) I do notice it and I'm like yay~ :mrgreen: And when I see my least favorite number(263) I think something bad's gonna happen. Yeah, I'm weird. :/

But whenever I'm on page 108 or 256 on a book, I re-read the page and hope something good happens on it. xD Yeah... :p

Yup, I do notice it alot actually, in books, games, car numbers, phone numbers, time, etc.

Speaking of which, one of my summer classes this year is in room 108 ^^;

I remember another Suikoden fan being the 108th person to view my deviantart page. They even left a comment.

Do you ever find that, after playing some Suikoden games, you see the number 108 very often.


Now that you mention it i honestly cannot say i have encountered this yet! Am i the only one?


Nope, I'm the same. Can't say that I've ever had any real "108 moment". Though, after reading this topic I'm sure I'll keep an eye out for next time.

I sometimes see 108 here and there, but usually I see 666 more often, like when i level up, only 666 more exp. to go, or when i buy something, i have 666 potch/gil/whatever left, and when i attack, the amount of damage is 666. should i be afraid?


Yeah I notice 666 a lot, but I love it. It's the metal in me heheh. About 108 though, I'm playing through The Legend of Dragoon, and there's so much talk about the 108 species of the world. It's kind of annoying because every time I see the number I only think of Suikoden.

Using Google I got

Results 1 - 9 of about 108 for Fudozukushi

Recently I also got a 108 crit heal in World of Warcraft three times in a row, I'd post the pic but cannot due to some oddities.
