This might just be me, but Sindar ruins bore and annoy me. No amount of indoor plumbing, fancy life lessons or uber powerful runes will ever make up for the annoying enemies.
My first time playing Suikoden II, back when I was a young lad, it seemed like there was a huge spike in difficulty as soon as I entered that cursed ruin at Hilda's inn. Of course, this could very well be because I got stuck with weak, untrained characters.
In Suikoden III I had to fight that lame and cheap Ice Dragon thing that must have taken me at least three or four tries to beat the first time. I think it even took me two tries on my most recent time playing the game.
I don't remember the Sindar ruin in Suikoden IV being difficult enemy wise, but I remember it being really easy to get lost because everything looked the same.
Suikoden V has to be the worst of the lot though. First there was the ruin when you first meet Zweig. All the enemies were resistant to physical attacks and I had to use runes all the time. Then there was the stinking Twilight Forest. I still don't know how to actually make it through that place. If I'm going to be honest with myself, I don't even think I liked the castle that much. It needed more green.
Moral of the story: Sindar ruins are annoying!
Or maybe I just don't like their decorating.
