Feitas (minigame)

Feitas is a minigame in Suikoden V. It can be played with Fuyo after recruiting her, Oboro, and Shigure.

Overview

Feitas is a tile-matching game. Players compete in pairs to grab tiles of the same type, each featuring a character's face, scattered across the board. First, players decide who will play first and who will play second, and then each player takes turns matching tiles.

A line is drawn between the two tiles and if the line connecting the tiles they want to grab bends more than twice, they cannot take the tile. Tiles also cannot be taken if there are other tiles between them. In the case of a stalemate on the board, tiles are shuffled and the game resumes. The player with the highest total score at the end wins.

Players can edit the tiles to display different characters, be it their favorites or those they might find easier to pick out on a busier game board.

Bonus Tiles

Tiles featuring Arshtat, Ferid, and Lymsleia are Bonus tiles, indicated by their golden border. Obtaining these tiles will earn the player 50 points instead of the usual 10. Aiming for these tiles can be the key to victory.

Rune Tiles and Chains

There are also five types of Rune riles, each featuring the runes of the five elements. While these tiles themselves don't earn points, they are special tiles that allow surrounding tiles to be captured simultaneously. Capturing tiles in succession like this is called a chain, and tiles captured in a chain are worth 1.5 times the points. Bonus tiles can also be used in a chain to earn even higher scores.

Strategy

The computer prioritizes making Bonus tile pairs, so it is extremely disadvantageous to allow an opponent an easy pair at the end of the player's turn. They also prioritize Rune riles, meaning that the computer can be baited in that manner.

Game Difficulty

In Feitas there are three difficulty levels, from Beginner to Advanced. The difficulty level affects the size of the board, the number and variety of tiles, and the number of Bonus tiles. Intermediate and higher difficulty levels also have a time limit. If a player does not capture a tile within that time, their turn is canceled and any available tiles will automatically disappear. Using the help feature will also result in a point deduction.

Rewards

Winners will receive items as prizes. The type of item is fixed for each difficulty level. Additionally, the item's quality increases depending on the score difference between the winner and their opponent (Fuyo). Each difficulty level awards three items per score difference. The items change depending on the difference: within 100 points, over 100 points, or double the opponent's score.
