Suikoden V Playthrough....

[auronlu]

... Just finished the battle against the Queen's campaign, and what happens right afterwards. I knew that this was too soon for the game to be over, and I figured that SOMEBODY was going to do a major ass-pull about now, but even though I was expecting it...

(spoilers)

They dropped enough hints that it was obvious Sialeeds has some other plan in motion --- with Georg, I assumed, and maybe Nether Gate -- but I got distracted and somehow forgot during all the business of fighting the various battles.

I got halfway through the land battle and thought... "waaaaaaaitaminute, all the Queen's Knights are accounted for on one side or the other except Galleon; what is HE up to?!!!" and I was so proud of myself for noticing that that somehow I forgot Sialeeds was planning something....D'oh! The ground battle and three boss battles in a row was keeping me too busy to think.

And I did tear up when Lyon went down. Which is the type of game I like. Yes, the Angst Goose has honked loud and clear.

Now where's Georg in all this? And just what IS Sialeeds actually doing?

Yay!

Also, I <3 Sialeeds SO MUCH.

Yep

Sialeeds rocks. And I'm sure she has a bally good reason for doing this, although -- unlike Georg killing the Queen, which was pretty well explained and foreshadowed at the beginning of the game -- I can't work out what it is.

Except I suspect Sialeeds is somehow worried about the wrong person getting hold of the Sun Rune.

Except I suspect I still don't know what's going on, because it has to do with that assassins' guild.

I like a game where I can't figure everything out, for a change!
