Suikoden: The Anime

mantap nostalgia game PS1, semoga sampe tamat ga berhenti di tengah jalan

Viktor and Anabel sharing that wine and talking like it's the last time they'll ever see each other hurt more than the actual stabbing. They knew the whole time

Rowd letting them walk right into an ambush after playing nice about the princess tent was a nasty little reveal. Dude was patient about it too. Just waiting in the rain

Ending on those old travel pics right after Jowy got dragged off was cruel. Ririu and Nanami at the gate at sunset with Pilika and nothing to say to each other

The uniform swap bugged me way more than it should. Jess recruited them for who they were and the show just hands them generic Highland gear. Small thing but it nags

Watching Jowy demand answers from Annabelle about the dead and getting a lecture about council approval was devastating. He is right and she knows it and neither of them can do anything about it

This one flew by so fast you barely register how much ground it covered. Two weeks of food two kids sneaking into a war camp and then Luca just ends it in a second

I cannot get over Luca just picking Jowy up by the neck like he weighs nothing. The Black Sword Rune meant absolutely nothing to him. My stomach dropped watching Ririu just stand there

Gorudo sitting there blaming everyone else while Annabelle slams the table over and over was infuriating in the best way. Somebody get that man out of the council chamber

Jillia pouring tea with a war criminal for a brother right outside the tent flap. That quiet scene carried more weight than all the shouting in the council room

Nice and pretty

Suidoken! Reminds me of the days i playing on PS1

Nice QA

Starting the episode with Jowy already kneeling in Luca's tent was a weird choice. The game lets you walk in and find out with Riou. Here you're just waiting for it to happen. Still the confrontation with Anabel hurt.

Opening with Joey begging Luca in the tent totally killed the surprise for me. Walking into that office should have hit like a brick and instead I knew it was coming the whole time. Dramatic irony my foot

That white flag scene is going to live in my head rent free. Rowd grinning while civilians get cut down and Luca just plain ignoring the surrender. Made me sick in the good way

You can call it tragedy or you can call it ruining the twist. Either way opening on that tent scene means you sit through the whole dinner knowing what's coming. That's a choice

Joey really thought he could negotiate with Luca Blight and that's the part that breaks my heart. Man was bargaining with a wildfire

Viktor tearing into Jess is the scene. After all the politics and quiet talking somebody finally said the obvious thing out loud. Kids should not have been in that camp

I get why people are mad about showing Joey's deal with Luca up front. But hearing him plead for his family and then still kill her anyway... that dread carried through the whole episode for me
