Suikoden 2: Jowy's Goodbye

"I see...so that's how it is... Just as I can't turn back, you can't turn back either..."
"Too much time has passed...neither of us can go back...to the way things were..."
"Riou...ever since we got these runes on our hands, we were destined to fight each other. But even if that's our destiny, I'd still like to think that we each gained something from this."
"Goodbye...Riou, Nanami."

--------------------------

Scene and quotes are from the game Suikoden 2 for PS1, when the hero, Riou, and his adopted sister Nanami confront their defected friend Jowy in the woods of Greenhill.

Picture was taken in 2011 at Finncon-Animecon held in Turku, Finland.

I don't know why I didn't post this picture earlier ._. I always liked how it turned out, and I think it fits great to this particular scene in Greenhill. ...Actually, I'm pretty sure that was what we were going for back then too

....Might I just say I love all these bittersweet moments with Jowy throughout the game?! I was literaly squirming with agony and delight at the same time while watching videos and looking for quotes to put here >_< Jowy is, and will always be my alltime favourite character, EVER, so I go absolut out-of-control when he is mentioned. ...Ehe~

I've said it about a 100 times before, but I can't thank our Suikoden cosplay group enough for putting it together. Cosplaying from Suikoden 2 was one of my dreams-come-true, and it wouldn't have happened without everyone in the group, so Thank you. I hope we'll be cosplaying together again~
