SUBJECT: Genso Suikoden Walk-Through Guide
VERSION: 1.01
EDITOR's NOTE: Here is version 1.01 of the Walk-Through for Genso
Suikoden. Please note that this guide will assume
that you have at least a minimal understanding of
Japanese (Katakana & Hiragana), due to the overwhelming
number of characters and towns in this game.
Please also refer to the "Tips & Tricks" posting
for various details on operations, functions, how to
save. etc.
In this version, I could only find 106 out of the 108
characters in the game. So, you will not get the
special "108" ending. If anyone knows who and where
the 2 remaining characters are, please post it or
email me. ThankX.
If there are any errors or suggestions, please let
me know, as I will try to update the guides
accordingly. Thankx.
------------------------------------------------------------------------
KEY: [!] = Decision Point. You will be given choices in response to
the various interaction with the characters.
Most of the choices have no effect on the storyline, but
avid RPG fans will want to choose the right answers.
[CHAR] = Joining Character Number. There are a total of 108
characters in the game who will join you.
This guide will point out when & where you will meet each
and every one of them.
Also note that when you do meet new characters, they
will ask you if you will let them join -- so if you do
not have a fair understanding of Japanese, always
remember to pick the top choice to let them join!
========================================================================
-- [IN THE CASTLE] -----------------------------------------------------
o As the story begins, you and your father, TEO, are called upon by
King BALBAROSA for a special mission to oversee the status of an
ongoing war taking place within the far eastern area. The king
gives TEO his most prized sword as well as his blessings.
As your character stands forward, King BALBAROSA praises you and
asks of you to take your father's place in helping defending the
kingdom.
[!] You will now be given a choice. You can:
Top Choice - Agree to the King's request.
Bottom Choice - Deny the king's request.
Assuming that you chose to agree to the King's request (top choice),
he again praises you for your courage and similar qualities to
your father. WENDY, one of King BALBAROSA's closest advisors,
will step foward to praise you as well.
Upon leaving the King's chambers, you will now have control over
your character.

tell you that KRAIZ, another one of King BARBAROSA's advisors,

1st thing in the morning for a little mission.
-- [IN YOUR HOUSE] -----------------------------------------------------

in battle).

CLEO, and TED.

at your castle. Go to your room (1st room on the left - 2nd floor).

your protectorates.

happened at the castle.
