Suikoden V Glitches and Unlockables (PS2)
Konami continues the superb anime saga
Suikoden V is a console role-playing game and thus shares many features of the genre. The player controls the Prince and travels with them around the world map, advancing the plot by completing tasks and talking with other characters. The Prince can also recruit new characters to his cause, which often involves a short sidequest. In towns, the player can gather information, sharpen character's weaponry, learn new skills and buy equipment; wilderness areas generally feature random encounters with monsters. The battle system in Suikoden V features six person parties in combat rather than the four person parties of Suikoden IV, reversing a much-decried change. Each character is individually controllable, as well (as opposed to Suikoden III). Different characters have affinities for different skills. Only two skills can be equipped to each character, though they can be switched at any time between battles. If all 6 characters lose all their hit points and are thus incapacitated, it is game over and the player must restart. Exceptions exist for certain plot battles in which winning is optional; the player can lose and the plot continues on, albeit in a slightly different fashion.UnlockablesBath ScenesHere is a list of character combinations that activate extra scenes when you bring them into the Bath in your HQ: Scene 01 - Josephine / Meroon / Faylen Scene 02 - Kisara /Lun / Subala Scene 03 - Eresh / Leilei / Shunmin Scene 04 Zerase / Nikea / Bernadette Scene 05 - Lyon / Miakis / Roy Scene 06 - Flail / Byarkuren Scene 07 - Lu / Jeane / Marina Scene 08 - Nifsara / Norma / Linfa Scene 09 - Lorelai / Viki / Zweig Scene 10 - Isabel / Nelis / Sharmista Scene 11 - Lyon / Sialeeds Scene 12 - Maroon / Muroon / Faylon Scene 13 - Dinn / Isato / Matthias Scene 14 - Kyle / Gavaya Scene 15 Roog / Nick / Rania Scene 16 - Ernst / Ax / Moroon Scene 17 - Logg / Retso Scene 18 Levi / Wabon / Babbage Scene 19 - Alhazred / Ganoh / Sairoh Scene 20 - Zegai / Killey / Gunde Scene 21 - Nakula / Raven / Egbert Scene 22 - Rahal / Lance / Mohsen Scene 23 Cathari / Hazuki / Urda Scene 24 - Bergen / Sorensen / Dongo Scene 25 - Georg / Richard / Yahr / Taylor Scene 26 - Shigure / Sagiri Scene 27 - Galleon / Goesch / Murad Scene 28 Cornelio / Baslan Scene 29 - Cius / Haleth Scene 30 - Shoon / Takamu Scene 31 - Belcoot / Shinro New Game +Once you complete the game, whether you collected all 108 Stars of Destiny or not, you will be prompted to save.

You can also run faster by pressing either Triangle or L2.GlitchesThe Raftfleet GlitchStaying the night at the Raftfleet Inn after the "Intercepting Luger's Fleet" naval battle activates a glitch that takes you back to just before the battle begins, promptly making you go through the entire thing again. This is a good way to farm Flowing Pieces and Luck Rings and can be done over and over using the same method mentioned before. To end the glitch and continue on with the story, simply exit Raftfleet immediately after the battle without staying at the Inn.SecretsBad EndingAfter Kyle joins your party at Rainwall, go upstairs to your room. When Lyon asks if you are ready for bed, say Yes. During the night you will have a conversation with Salum Barows. During the conversation, you will get three chances to respond to what he is saying. Choose the second option all three times. When Lyon interrupts, choose the second option for a final time. You will then be shown the bad ending and the game will end.Bad Ending #2When you finally confront the Imposter Roy in his bandit cave hideout he will challenge you to a duel. Accept his challenge, then lose (Make sure you used the savepoint earlier so you can reload the game afterwards). You will see another bad ending to the game.
