-------------------------------INTRODUCTION----------------------------------==============================================================================
First of all: Hi. Yes. This is Ikano from suikox.
I just wanted to clear that up before somone claims I stole my own FAQ (haha?)
(I originally posted this FAQ on the forums there before putting it on here)
So yes, Hageshi@GameFaqs = Ikano@suikox. Got that? Good.
So anyway...this "FAQ" serves as a quick "cheat sheet" on being able to get
all 108 Stars of Destiny on your playthrough without missing any of them.
=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=Note:: This FAQ went through the process of changing over Japanese names
to their respective English/localized names...
~If there are any major errors in that regard...please try to reach/contact
me in some way...
[I created/compiled this whole FaQ single-handedly...so I have a harder time
trying to keep this version (and at the same time, the suikox version)
correct/updated]
**At this point in time. This FaQ's completion is 98%
--As I believe I could probably always think of something to add to this FAQ
in the future...I'll probably never say it's 100% done...-But as of now, I believe this is pretty complete as is and there won't be
"regular updates" from now [March 30, 2009] on...

--------------------------------FAQ HISTORY----------------------------------==============================================================================
4/16/09 --Minor edit: Got some Messages "pointing out" an error that...isn't
really an error...but so...minor edit just so these specific "complaints"
stop...
--3/28/09 --Finally got all 108 SoD in my English version playthrough. Woot!
So now...all the characters recruit info should by pretty much correct and
not as vague as it was originally!
And so...there should no longer be anymore "frequent edits/updates" unless I
find (or someone points out to me) any SERIOUSLY MAJOR typos.
[[although...there still seems to be an issue with Luvais' recruit wondow...]]
Thank you for your patience! Thanks for using this FAQ! Have a nice day!
((What else am I suppossed to say? aha...))
------3/26/09 -- fixed/edited several more SoD recruit info (I've recruited everyone
/played up to the [Mun Tsang] point on my ORDER List...so everyone who was
recruitable before that point...their info should now be correct and clearer)!
~Also, if you didn't notice, am working on putting in the English titles for
the requests so nobody should get confused about that anymore! ...hopefully
------3/25/09 -- fixed/edited a little bit of the Megion and Lathilda entries
3/24/09 -- found a typo...again...(ARG!)...also edited/fixed/clarified some
SoD recruit info...expect more as I go through my latest playthrough...
(1st english playthrough though 4th including japanese playthroughs ._.; )
3/22/09 -(*)Fixed some "star spelling" typos. Hopefully they're all correct now.
(*)Luvais' recruit procedure/requirements is more clarified...
...however his exact recruit window is still not 100% sure, though I've marked
a rough estimate based off of his dialogue during recruitment...
ORDER list has also been shifted around a little to reflect this "estimate"
(*)Gadburg has also now been placed correctly on the ORDER list.
(*)Missed putting some SoD entries in all-caps, this has now been fixed
(*)Little "notes" about the recruiting of Tongatihi, Hafin/Nakil, Goro, Hina,
Savina, and Lathilda have been added. Check them if you're having trouble
with recruiting any of the beforementioned.
(*)A few more "how to recruit" info has been edited to be slightly more clear
(*)98% of the location/city/dungeon names have now been englishified though
some may have minor spelling errors...
((It confounds me how people can't figure out "snowy mountain" = Chouli Mts.))
----------------------------------------------------------

3/20/09 -- I changed all SoD names to all caps so that so that if you're able
to do a "case-sensitive" search...you'll find what you're looking for easier.
Hopefully...(check the SUGGESTED USE section to see what I mean)
Not sure if all computer's "search functions" have the option though...but
it'll help those who can search like that at least...
Also fixed a few more typos and caught a few more Japanese SoD names I missed
"english-ifying"...although I was half-asleep while doing it so I don't
actually remember how far I got...
---------------------------------------------------------3/19/09 -(1)THIS IS IT! Prob. One of the most LOOKED-FORWARD-TO updates! All SoD
character names have been ENGLISHIFIED!
...Hopefully I switched em all over correctly...I'll doublecheck again when
I'm able to get around to english-ifying location & dungeon names...
Also, while swapping over the SoD names...I caught alot of
ORDER-list <=/=> TABLET-list discrepancies...
I SINCERELY APOLOGIZE FOR ALL THOSE THAT WERE PUZZLED OVER THE FACT THAT THEY
COULDN'T FIND INFO ON A SPECIFIC CHARACTER CUZ OF THOSE ERRORS!!!
(2)After struggling with trying to read random Japanese sources...started an
attempt to put in info about "permanently missed charas in the "ORDER LIST"
(3)Am in the process of trying to clarify Rubias/Lubias' apparently irregular
recruit event... (originally mistakingly thought to be automatic)
...so ya'll will have to do a little legwork/wandering around searching for
him yourself (if you're going for all 108) while I try to clarify the
EXACT requirements...
(4) Did a little re-clarifying on some of the SoD's "how to recruit" info.
(5) Did a little "redesigning" of this FAQ...kind of
---------------------------------------------------------3/18/09 - Hand-ful of edits. First of all: edited/reformatted & moved "Q+A"
section to top of FAQ (right under this section)--cuz it actually has some
kind of IMPORTANT stuff now)
Secondly: Attempted to convert some of the names to localized version based
on what names several others have been using...however I still don't have the
english version in my hand to doublecheck said name changes so there aren't
that many changes yet...
Third: Found & fixed a few more typos
Oh...and by the way...YES I know Gadburg is missing in the ORDER list...but
I forget exactly when he joins...However, he's an auto recruit anyway so I
don't think it's a very big issue for now...
---------------------------------------------------------3/17/09 - Yomi's entry apparently had an error in one of the city names. Still
don't have english version to doublecheck apparent error so substituted the
city name with description of town's location...
Also fixed some minor typos & Added a random Q+A section at the bottom...
though it's kind of random...
----------------------------------------------------------

3/13/09- Got very far on the 3rd playthrough and FINALLY successfully
collected the 2 SoDs I had missed in 1st and 2nd playthrough. "Pre-English
game release" version of this FAQ now pretty much complete!
--Submitted to GameFAQs for upload..
---------------------------------------------------------3/10/09- Got very far on the 2nd playthrough of Japanese game. Realized
permanently missed 2 out of the 108 SoDs and restarted the game....yet again.
---------------------------------------------------------3/06/09- Finished first playthrough of Japanese game. Typed up first version
of FAQ. (Missed 7 SoDs on 1st playthrough.)
==============================================================================
[SUG01]
-------------------------------SUGGESTED USE---------------------------------==============================================================================
Due to the fact I wanted to minimize plot spoilers in the ORDER LIST, it is
listed in such a way that they are roughly divided into
"plot missions chunks".
You'll have to play the game and figure out my spacing yourself. Therefore...
I suggest using the "ORDER" list as reference for finding characters in the
"TABLET" list depending on where you are in the game, using
"What was the last auto recruit you got" as a "bookmark"
CTRL+F and/or COMMAND+F and/or EDIT>FIND is your best friend!
((IMPORTANT::
Make your searches case sensitive if you can!
If you search for a name in ALL CAPS you will go to that character's
specific "recruit info" entry. If you do a case sensitive search with just the
first letter of the name capitalized...you'll instead hit other SoD entries
that mentions the character's name. --Just try it and you'll see what I mean))
But if you don't care much for being spoiled, ignore my suggestion.

==============================================================================
[QNA01]
--------------------------(RANDOM) QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS---------------------==============================================================================
((Possible spoilers in this section, be advised!!))
[Does seasonal characters mean I can run into them everyday of that season?]
~Uh...no. If you've already triggered a seasonal event you have to wait a whole
year -until that season returns- to try it again
==
[Why do some recruit events not trigger when they're supposed to?]

~ For your information, if you are in the middle of a plot mission or

"character"request **SEVERAL RECRUIT EVENTS WILL NOT TRIGGER CORRECTLY**. So
if you can't get a recruit event to trigger when it's suppossed to, make sure
you're NOT in the middle of a plot mission or another character request.
However, missions that require time to pass does not block recruit events.
Also sometimes, automatic events and recruit events overlap and so the
automatic events take priority. Don't panic too soon! Just try to trigger the
recruit event again when you think the 'Automatic event' is done.
==
[Which and when are character's permanently missable?]
~ I unfortunately did not keep track of when is the last chance to recruit a
character. Though I'm pretty sure Nakil, Hafin, Wustum, Luvais, and
Geschutz & co. are. (As well as Nomno & Khemia whom recruit events depend on
someone earlier mentioned).
I do know for certain that the attack on [Cynas] is the cutoff for getting
*ANY* SoDs. So if you wanted to get all 108 SoDs in your playthrough.
***BE SURE TO GET THEM ALL BEFORE YOU LEAVE TO ATTACK CYNAS!!!***
===
[where is Cynas? ]
~ Have you seriously touched the game at all? Cynas is the "Order of the
One-True Way's "base of operations" so-to speak. It's the city north of Fort
Ark and you should've visited there in the beginning of the game as part of
the plot.
===
[How to complete "gathering animals" quest, other quests that result in an
SoD joining, etc.]
~ I am not 100% sure on the specifics to successfully do ALL "SoD-join related
missions" so that you succeed 100% of the time (hopefully a Quest/mission FaQ
will cover it better)
...but from my experience...the Animal's Quest needs all people sent on it to
have an agility stat of 140 on average, "goods" quests need a HIGH luck, and
Morrin's "luring Icas" quest needs YOUNG & beautiful and/or CUTE, women.
[sorry Selen...Icas doesn't like you... =p]
But again, this is only based on my experience and is probably incorrect...
===
[You have an error! FIX IT!! NOW!!!]
~ I'm so sorry! I did 98% of this FaQ single-handedly with (initially) only
the Japanese version of the game...despite the fact I'm not fluent in
Japanese [besides bits and pieces I've picked up from anime/ trying to
self-teach myself...]
(Although I am fluent in Mandarin...though I have no idea if that
really helped...)
However, I should also mention...please check the version I have posted on
suikox.com forums to see if I've addressed the error & for more recent
changes.
(as updates on that version may be faster than this version)

If I didn't mention it there...THEN you can try to contact me about it.

===
[Then...how to reach/contact you?]
~ Unfortunately I don't like to leave my email everywhere so I guess that
leaves you these "simpler" options:
1) I check the GameFaQs Tierkreis forums semi-regularly, (while I still
consider this FaQ as "incomplete" at least)
especially to see if there is any "griping" about errors appearing in this FaQ
2) PM me on suikox.com. As mentioned before...My username is Ikano over there.
3) If you know how to use irc...I sit in suikox's irc channel sometimes.
It's on Rizon.

[ORD01]
-------------------------------THE ORDER LIST--------------------------------==============================================================================
NOTE::
*Firstly this is a ROUGH LIST--you DO NOT have to follow the exact order
...although if you attempt to recruit someone way after where I put them on
this list...you might find out later they are no longer available...
* Names with [ ] OR ( ) around them are NOT recruited automatically
* If their name is in square brackets [ ] it means it is the earliest you can
trigger a (non-automatic) event/mission/talk to them etc. at that time but
they will not yet join.
* If their name is in circle brackets ( ) it means you can *ATTEMPT* to
recruit them from that point on. Though there is no guarantee you'll succeed.
*If their name is starred AND in circle brackets (* *)...it is the
APPROXIMATE last chance to initialize recruitment of a chara...
((Please note that these are not 100% confirmed 'cut-offs'))
* If it's is starred AND in square brackets [* *] it is the APPROXIMATE
last chance to initialize event/talk to em so to be able to recruit for
later.
((Please note that these are not 100% confirmed 'cut-offs'))
* Automatic/forced meeting of any SoD has been omitted

I have not confirmed it [the lack of 2nd encounter specifically] myself

~~
Chisei --HAFIN :: After Asad 'officially' joins you (along with the knights).
He will, at some point leave your HQ temporarily (meaning you won't be able
to put him in your party). Let some time go by and when Asad returns, he
will have brought Hafin back with him at which point Hafin will join
[*easily miss-able--this event triggers randomly]
((**Hafin and Nakil's recruit events can be flipped and can be done out of
order-- see NAKIL for the description of the other recruit event))
~~
Chikatsu --KEFLEN :: After [Janam] kingdom dissapears, you can find him
collapsed in the desert within the Mysterious Ruins. Insist that you want
to help him, then go to the deepest part of those ruins to trigger an event.
Afterwards, offer to let him stay at your place and he'll follow you back
to HQ (not yet joined).
After [Rarohenga] appears...talk to Keflen again and he will
say he remembers something, and will ask if you have time to help him.
Say that you do and take him to the ruins where you found him collapsed
in...go to the deepest part of the ruins again and an event will occur.
After some dialogue Keflen will join you.
~~
Chitou --YADIMA :: Be sure to talk to him in his little hamlet in the first
"world map area" of the game. His "hamlet" is located south -and slightly
east- of Hero's hometown. Talk to him a second time on your way back later.
Sometime after your HQ upgrades, he will appear at your HQ's outdoor area
(past the dock) [If he's not there go back to his hamlet to talk to him and
he should appear when you go back to HQ].
Talk to him then go back to Moana. A request titled "Plowin' the field"
will appear.
Complete it successfully (sending people with high attack should work) then
go back and talk to him afterwards. He'll "officially" join.
~~
Chikyou --HINA :: A little after the automatic recruiting of Rajim.

of "Why not stay here instead of running back and forth?" (2nd choice
I believe)
He will hesitate and mention that he needs to watch over the porpos-kin
diety's temple at which point Neira suddenly goes into "deity mode."
And will convince him to join.
Note: He apparently also appears in Neira's room when it's "Sprout" season as
well...
**2nd note: PLEASE TRY TO START TALKING TO HIM ASAP!!!!!

game won't think enough time has passed for the Hero to ask him why he won't
stay instead.**

----------------------------CREDITS, THANKS, ETC-----------------------------==============================================================================
[*]I'd like to credit Due Fuimi forums for the INITIAL Japanese to English
transcribing of the SoD names + star name transcribings -((For I would've
probably taken months with just my pocket dictionary...as sad as that sounds))
[*]I'd like to thank acdragonmaster@LiveJournal for answering/giving me tips
on some of the SoDs I missed in my 1st/2nd playthrough
[*]I'd like to thank suikox for being the Suikoden-related home I hang around
in ((As well as being this FAQ's first "unofficial home" so-to-speak
...haha))
[*]I'd like to thank a handful of members on suikox for kindly pointing out
errors in the FaQ they thought they ran into. It constantly reminded me not
to treat my English playthrough as a speed-recruit-run, but to try to confirm
those reported 'recruit discrepancies'.
This includes all the people who posted in the thread containing the suikox
version of the FAQ, as well as those few who lurk in suikox's irc channel.
[*]And I'd like to thank Konami of Japan for the great video game series and
for Konami US for localizing it
(even though I'm a bit upset that they did a rather mediocre localization job
localizing Tierkreis...in my honest opinion...)
[*]And thank you to all the people who put up with this FAQ while it's "bugs",
etc were still being "ironed out"...especially around/andshortly after the
release of this game.
-----------------[*]Oh...and you all should probably thank Tull (from suikox) for being the
first who said to me they'd be interested in my writing up a Recruit FaQ for
Tierkreis.
I wouldn't have gotten off my lazy bum to make this if none of my friends
were interested in the first place. =P
