There are other characters that are either temporary when they join you or just don’t count toward the Stars of Destiny count. You can also get some of these characters in a slightly different order if you choose to. The Imperial Army is also known as the Scarlet Moon Empire’s Army which is led by Barbarossa. Also if any of your characters get mortally wounded in the army battles and die, you won’t be successful in getting all 108 either. You can find lists like these as well as plenty of other Suikoden information at Suikosource.
