Suikoden's chief appeal comes from its behemoth cast of 108 playable characters, some of whom join you for no reason whatsoever, some of whom you need to mollify with special items, or impress by other means, and most of whom have no semblance of any personality. There, I said it. By combining different character in special formations, you can also stumble upon combination attacks, but there are so many possible formations that this task is well beyond daunting.
