THIS!! and the fact that it wasn't a victory. WHen the ambush took him out and he got to that pendant, his last words were his maniacal laughter and his reminder that all his death would mean is a country looking for revenge. There was no celebration, no victory, just ominous music as the fireflies floated away. Gives me goosebumps everytime

The most memorable part of Suikoden 2 for me, setting aside some of the more impactful main story beats, is the one part of the game I always refuse to do. Clive's revenge fueled manhunt of Elza not only requires you to speed run the game in order for Clive to not lose her trail, but completing the quest just leads to a tragic ending. An end where Clive finally catches up to and kills his old friend Elza only to find out that she was never the true villain that Clive always believed she was, and that she ultimately let him kill her as atonement for her unwitting part in the death of their mutual friend Kelley due to the machinations of their Howling Voice Guild's elders having a desire for a Guildmaster that they could manipulate as their own puppet.

Most memorable part: Luca's Battle. Luca Blight is the best villain. It was necessary: be betrayed, an army, 18 stars of destiny, arrows and more arrows, and a one-on-one battle to bring him down. And if did not griding enough, you risk losing.

Nope, LB was just a textbook villian. Power hungry and motivated on revenge on the Estate and his father, the King. Jowy is the better villian. Good backstory. Has good intentions, but will do just about anything to achieve his goal. If the story revoled around him, Riou will be seen as a villain. Jowy is the best villain because he brings contrast to Riou's whole story...

Suikoden II is one of my all time favorite JRPG's. It truly is the best in the series and the story is absolutely sublime. Everything from Jowy's betrayal to the most evil antagonist to ever be placed in gaming, Luca Blight, this game has it all and you even get to build a freaking army! Seriously, Luca Blight makes Sephiroth and Kefka look like a basket of kittens. Kefka may have poisoned a castle but Luca likes to be up close and personal to his victims. "Crawl on the ground like a pig and I will let you live. Die pig!"

@@cliftonsargent1572 Yuber isn't a Star of Destiny until the 3rd game. The 108 Stars of Destiny are different every game with only a few holdovers between the games. I'm pretty sure that Jeane and Viki are the only two characters present in every one of the main games. Sometimes an enemy in one game will be a protagonist in the next game and, conversely, a hero in one game will be an antagonist in the next game. All of the games take place in a different country in the same world, meaning who the good guys and the bad guys are is oftentimes a matter of perspective.

This is my second favorite game of all time (behind Xenogears). While your video does explain the story perfectly, I think there's a few other things in here that really make it.... special. For example, there's multiple endings (not covered here). And to get this version you need to not only beat Suiko 1 and bring your memory card save over, but also collect all 108 stars. These games are also notorious for having stars that you can miss. So, it's quite a large reward to get the true ending. Also, the music and emotional impact of this game REALLY hits hard by time you get back to the rock from the intro. That's something you can't capture here. But, this game was a true joy playing as a kid. And now I'm glad I got a recap of this very large war story.

No true Suikoden II player would *EVER* let Ridley die in the battle of Radat. How dare you! But seriously, it is possible to save him if you overpower a few units and play very aggressively with some of the special runes, that and a little luck and having Ridley get to your troops as soon as possible leads to a funny exchange between him and Viktor. It's not easy but it's fun to do
@suiken3149
@suiken3149 Жыл бұрын
He will not die in Radat, regardless of your choices. And canonically speaking, its Chaco who rescued Ridley, not the ninjas. Although he will really die if you tried to run away from Tinto during the Neclord arc and will be replaced by his son, Borris. I still prefer Ridley because he have the critical ability along with the more powerful skirmish unit.

First game where I ever really felt the whole “my best friend is now against us trope”. In this game it worked, I really wanted Jowy, Riou and Nanami to be reunited. This was when jrpgs were great. Suikoden was a great series. This one was great and the third one had an amazing story. They all had good stories though. I wish we got such massive scale rpgs in today’s graphics. So many characters and personal backgrounds. And your party members could actually die, forever. Totally unheard of in that day. I now realize that Rina gave that guard head or something so you could pass lol. Jowy *swears undying loyalty to the king in ceremony.* Also Jowy *kills the king during the same ceremony* Luca Blight *Now I’m king...wait* Also why can the rune of beginning be given up by its user to an object, as Han and Genkaku do, when everyone else with a true rune can’t? Don’t they have to give it to a person or otherwise they wouldn’t be stuck being immortal?

My first play-through I didn't meet the condition for the "best end" which result in Nanami really losing her life in Matilda's castle and Jowy not being healed by the rune, instead transferring the power of the black sword to Riou in order for the Rune of beginning to be whole again, after that Riou does lead the unified country of the alliance. I do like this way to end the story better: it's really bitter, but because of it I find it much more emotionally powerful. I finally experienced the "best" ending (the one presented int his video) during a replay once internet was enough developed for me to find the requirement more easily and I felt it was like a happy ending forcefully put there, with both Jowy and Nanami's recovery felling like unearned Deus Ex Machina. I like the idea that Jowy meet the retribution and consequences for his choice and that the victory Riou finally attained came at the cost of great sacrifices, it felt much more in line with the theme of the rest of the story.

So not only has this game an amazing main story line, it also has amazing side quests in the game. First one you can do is the saving kent one, where you can recruit futch and Humphrey. Second i can think of is the Clive quest to find and kill Elza. Even after this, the story can divert in multiple endings. This has major ramifications for certain characters. Not to mention you can take save data from suikoden 1 into suikoden 2 and give certain characters bonusses
