Ok, maybe I'll just take back what I said about Suikoden 3. After spending about 20 hours with the game, I can say the story is pretty good. It certainly can't beat Suikoden 2 nor 5 (at least until where I played), but the story definitely catches your atention in each of every character you control. The battle system is still annoying and I still hate it, but since I still have plenty of things to do in the game, I'll just have to get used to it. The tactical battles are not as fun as the ones from Suikoden V, but they're also very nice. I mean, the main idea is pretty nice, Konami should use this base recipe to make the next Suikoden.
**SPOILER ALERT!!!**
So, I finished Chris' scenary yesterday. The first chapter (maybe not only hers) was very, VERY boring. She is one of the Six Zexen Knights, the elite of the knights of that part of the country (the other ones are Salome, Roland, Borus, Percival and Leo). Even though she's got the status and the strenght, what she really wants is to find the truth about her father. What she was told is that her father died in a war, but she somehow feels that he is still alive (and since some people already told me a few spoilers, yeah, her father is still alive and I think she'll have to fight him. Whatever, he dies anyway). Chris really wishes she could go around the world to search for him, but she can't, since she has a really busy life as a Zexen Commander. Luckily enough, her friends (that are the other knights) notest that she feels this way and find a way for her to escape and follow her own way. She is told that if she wants to find a man entitled Fire Champion. In this process, she encounters a man named Nash Latkje (that's me!!!!), who is a spy acting under the orders of the High Priest Commander Sasarai, from Harmonia. He seeks for the Fire Champion and his followers, the Fire Bringer. So, both of them go on a journey to find this misterious man, who can, apparently, bring chaos and destruct Grasslands and the cities around it.
Well, I already know that Luc is the villain this time. I only want to find out why the heck he is causing all that mess.
Meanwhile, I got to know Thomas, the master of Budehuc Castle. His chapters are interesting, but not as much as the main characters. I only got until the end of chapter 2, his history doesn't give the opportunity to make a decent level up.
I also got until the end of Geddoe's first chapter (which I also found pretty boring if compared with the other chapters from Chris' Story) and started Hugo's second chapter (by the way, I hate Lilly Pendragon. I wonder how the heck a cute little girl turned to be like that). I guess I'll finish Suikoden 3 before the end of the year...
