So Suikoden II **SPOILERS**

[GuyBeardmane]

I want to just curl up in a ball under a blanket and sob for the next couple days because Nanami.

Like, goddamn.  Saddest thing to happen in all video game history.  It was tragic enough that Riou and Jowy found themselves on opposite sides of the war being best friends and children and all, but then both of them watching Nanami get killed just broke my heart.  I've lost the will to continue the game.

If you recruit all 108 star characters you can get a different ending that you'll probably like

[Ric]

There are three endings to the game and that is the worst one.

Now, now, fellas, he said he didn't want to continue, meaning he's not finished, yet.

[GuyBeardmane]

I went back to finish and I read the ending spoilers.  I didn't react quickly enough when she got shot to save her.  I started over again, because Nanami is the best sister.

If you really want the best ending, consult a guide on this playthrough. Some of the 108 are easy to miss.

Gilbert was ass.  Too early in the game to rely on luck and getting him.  Restarted 3 times to make sure someone successfully attacked him and then that he didn't die.

But yeah, it wasn't that I didn't get the 108, it was that I didn't press the button in time to save Nanami.  Riou's supposed to dive in to save her if you react in the half-second you have to say "Look out" or "Nanami," but instead I got the part where she deflects two arrows and catches the third in the gut.  Replaying the whole thing to try and save her this time.  Also going to get the early ending where they abandon the army too.

Like, I just started playing Suikoden in the past two weeks.  Really enjoyed the first one, thought it was fun.  Love the second one, and it's just got me really into the characters.  I need to find copies of 3 and 4 since I missed out on this series the first time around.

you may want to watch gameplay of them first, 3 is a little different and I didn't like it nearly as much and 4 is sea based combat.

I want a full on remake of the first two Suikoden games, either all anime'd a la Dragon Quest or real-people'd like FFX.  Full voice acting, the works.

They’d just ruin it. I have no faith in modern game developers.

Nintendo should do it.  Get the crew that remade DQ8 for 3DS.  They turned a whole PS2 game into a 3DS game and ADDED to it.  Whatever developer did that is incredible.

I wish I had your optimism.
