Dining

In Suikoden: The Woven Web of a Century, upon returning to the headquarter the 'time' will be automatically set to evening and you won't be able to leave or access the Tree of Ages in your base until you have dinner in the dining hall. After that, you'll be given choices, either to save your game or proceed without saving. Then the 'time' will be moved to the next day.

This Dining System isn't a replacement of the Rest System although it can be seen as a similar thing, but it's closer to the Bath System, since characters that participate in dinner will be able to have scenario with each other, though certain requirements need to be fulfilled for the events to occur.

Effects

Having dinner doesn't restore your HP, since it's automatically restored upon returning to the headquarters. But it does have other effects:

• Giving status boosts to those participating in dinner.
• Raising the friendship levels between those who participates in dinner.

While it's important to choose the dinner wisely so you'll get the status boosts that you desire, the friendship boost effect is the most important thing from this system. Increasing the friendship level between characters will allow for better teamwork (more damage, better speed, etc). Also, by maxing a character relationship with the right individual, access to their sub-class will become available.

Options

Upon entering the dining hall, you'll be prompted to select the menu for dinner. Each meal has its own effects on the characters who participate in dinner. Vegetable dishes (prepared by Lulusa and Scharf) mainly raise Intelligence/Magic, while meat dishes (prepared by Bjorn and Numistro) raise Strength. Ingredients for these dishes can either be found in some locations (they will appear again after some time has passed), dropped by enemies, found in the Dungeon, or bought in markets in various towns.

After selecting the menu, options to select the characters that will participate in dinner will appear (though this is available only after you have more than six playable combatant characters). Those options are:

• Dining with party members (the participants are the characters currently in your party)
• Dining with close friends (the participants are characters with the highest relationship score with Hero)
• Dining with those that you rarely interact with (the participants are characters with the lowest relationship score with Hero)
• Dining with favorite members (the participants are members that you've arranged with the option below)
• Arrange favorite members (change the participants of dinner in the option above)

• Hm, the food will give nutrition to blood and muscles.
  Today is another perfect day!
• Ooh!
  This rich flavored meat!
  It makes my body swell up with power!

Hm, what a wonderful flavor.
It doesn't lose to the taste of Goog Lewon's vegetables.

I wonder if Goog Lewon will be alright...
Well, there's my cautious big brother, so I'm sure nothing terrible will happen...

Hm, the dinner tastes delicious today too!

I wonder what happened in Aionia right now.
Well, whatever will be, will be!

To be allowed to have a seat together with you during dinner is a very pleasant thing.

As a ninja, I preferred to eat vegetables instead of meats.
I need to keep my weight as light as possible.

It's good...
... Is it alright for me to receive this happiness alone...?

(Gathering together to have dinner like this reminds me of those days.
The days when I'm still with my Aionian friends...)

Alone

That was delicious.
We continue to fight everyday, but...
It's a good thing that we can have peace during dining time.
We need to do our best to preserve this condition.

• With Lulusa

Hero

Thank for the good work in preparing these meals, Lulusa-san.

Lulusa

What are you saying?
If everyone could happily eat my cooking then it blow away all my exhaustion.
Everyone eat to the point of cleaning the plates off.
Yup, this is how an after-dinner should be!

• With Bjorn

Hero

Bjorn-san,
thank you for making such delicious meals.

Bjorn

Don't mention it!
My meat dishes are filled with power!
This is the only thing I can do since I can't join in battles!

• With Scharf

Hero

Scharf-san,
thank you for preparing these meals.

Scharf

What are you saying~
The atmosphere here is much better than when I was with Aionians.
That's why I can work with much ease.

• With Numistro

Hero

Numistro-san,
that was very delicious.

Numistro

Oh, you flatter me too much!
This humble me is very delighted to hear those words!

• I need to be careful not to overeat. Hehehe.
• The vegetables are delicious.
  I feel that it cleanse my blood. Hehehe.

Hmm, delish.
Give me more meats! Meats!

Well then, let's eat a lot and get ready for tomorrow!

Hm hm hmm~♪
Ah, a new phrase had inspired me!
Even during grieving time, one shouldn't miss a fun meal time.
Whatever the case, one shouldn't forget to enjoy yourself.
Though sometimes one need to put a great effort to do so.

At the end of day, we would feast over delicious meals like this.
This is what you would call happiness.

Speak of which, Mother's veggie dishes are good, but she always make the same thing.
But there are a lot of different recipes here, so it's better.
... Ah, keep it a secret from Mother, okay?

Hh. That was delicious.
Eating warm foods in a warm atmosphere.
Ending a day like this is truly a happiness.

Delicious vegetable dishes feels like it'll have good effects on beauty too. Hehehe.

Ehehe~
It's delicious~♪

Omnomnoming vegetables.
Omnomnom delish~♪

Chewchewing meats.
Chewchew delish~♪

Hm, what a delicious veggies.
This is really a blessing from the Mother Earth.

If people eat nutritious foods like this everyday, doctors would've lost their job.
But, well, if we fight everyday like this, that would never happen.

Hh, I feel so tired.
Eating takes so much effort but I don't want to leave any leftovers either...

Hm, today's dinner is delicious.

(Ilia is such a strong hearted girl... even though terrible things happen because of her father's doings.)

(... I'll find the secret to all mystery of this world.
Will that day ever come?
I can't help but think about it when I get to peacefully enjoy a meal like this...)

... hm, that was a splendid meal.
The after-meal tea also smells nice.
I feel that a day worth of exhaustion has been lifted off me.

Hehe, human's food also have excellent taste.

For warriors whose days are filled with dangerous experiences, enjoying a meal can be regarded as something valuable.
In that subject, fighting as a part of (Army's name) is a great happiness.

((Hero's name)... what a strange fellow.
He seems to possess a charisma which is different from Master Aaron's...)

(A heartwarming dining place like this makes me feel like I don't belong here...)

Hmm, delicious.
We should've just open a restaurant here.

Yeah, this is delicious.
Makes you feel like you wouldn't care about things like Telluspharma or The Tree of Ages anymore, eh?
