Hey there folks! Here comes the start of a new series!

Suikoden 2 is a classic JRPG with a focus on collecting 108 characters (stars of destiny) from around the world. Hope you enjoy what's to come!

Of course, I didn't make the game. That would be Konami.

Here is the Youtube playlist:


Also, here is the 1st episode! What we're going to do today is check out the sorta prologue and see one of the best intro scenes I've ever seen in a game. Can't wait to get going more!

Episode 1 - This Is Our Leader


Thanks for watching! I'm hoping to stick to uploading every other day due to work, regardless of saying that it would be daily in the video lol. See you soon for the start! :)
 
Episode 2 - Performance Of A Lifetime!


Roll up! Roll up! For the greatest performance of all time! Hey you! Step on up and be a part of the show!
 
Episode 3 - It Came From The Mist


Hey folks, so today we're crossing over the North Sparrow Pass, which is actually decently tricky for a first dungeon; those enemies can be hard hitting. Fortunately there's something that can really help near the start. While we're here, there's a guardian of the pass to take care of.

---------------------------------------------

Mist Shade Boss:


- Circus Attack with the performers
- Use medicines with Greeny and Jowy

--------------------------------------------


That's about all there is to this boss. The good thing is that medicines are really cheap in this game so don't worry about running out.

Thanks for watching! See you soon! :)
 
Episode 4 - Nanami, Our Sister


Hey there folks, here's my favourite character from the game! Nanami isn't just your usual fragile, damsel in distress; there's a bit more realism to her, which is one reason why I like this game so much. This ain't no Princess Peach! At some point during this episode, we get to fight a piggy.

----------------------------------------------

Bonaparte Strategy:


- Use Family Attack and Loyal Dog Attack
- Use medicines when needed

----------------------------------------------


Plenty more to check out too of course.

Thanks for watching! See you soon! :)
 
Episode 5 - Burning Down The Hatches


Hey peoples, this is an incredible bit of plot so I won't spoil anything but at the very least, prepare yourself for Pilika. She is...amazingly cute lmao.

---------------------------------------

Episode 6 - Runes That Link Best Friends



Hey peoples, today we get some major plot with the fates of two friends stamped in stone! Or on runes! Or something! We also get to name our "company"; you'll never guess what I call it!

Thanks for watching! See you soon! :)
 
Episode 7 - We're Treasure Hunters, Not Thieves!


Hey peoples, today we head on over to the White Deer Inn and accept an invitation to be treasure hunters in the nearby ruins! Now this place can get confusing lmao.

Apologies if I over edit at any point; there were a tonne of recording interruptions here and it got tricky lol.

Thanks for watching! See you soon! :)
 
Episode 8 - Double Heading Into Muse


Hey folks, today we're taking on the boss of the Sindar Ruins treasure! Is the treasure worth it? Well, some might say that it's the most important treasure you could get!

------------------------------------


Double Head Strategy:

- Nanami use the fire rune, then use Family Attack unite.
- Jowy use black sword.
- Zamza use fire dragon if you have him.

------------------------------------

Muse has a tonne going on and will be one of the most important towns in the game throughout so learn to love it if you don't!

Thanks for watching! Catch you in a bit! :)
 
Episode 9 - Smooth Like Buttah!


Hey peoples, today we check out (another) forest dungeon and make it to the camp where we can be spies! Most importantly though...we hunt for butter! What more do you want from a game?

Thanks for watching! See you soon! :)
 
Episode 10 - Waiting For A Friend


Hey peoples, today we're going to be waiting for Jowy to return from the camp. There's such a nice moment between brother and sister (and honorary niece) here that is one of my highlights of an incredible game. I truly hope you enjoy.

Thanks for watching! See you soon :).
 
Ok, it's been a while since I've updated this thread :lew:. Here are all the episodes since...25th July!

-----------------------------------

Episode 11 - The Ultimate Betrayal


Hey peoples, it's time for us to check out some more plot! Annabelle is really given a bit more depth and made more interesting in this episode. Enjoy!

Thanks for watching! See you soon! :)

-----------------------------------

Episode 12 - Coffin Dwellers: Rise!


I vant to suck your blood!
I am the overlord of all things village!
Rise my victims!

-----------------------------------

Episode 13 - A Foul Wind Is Blowing

Hey peoples, so in order to defeat Neclord, we need to get the star dragon sword! Anyone getting dejavu? Well, there's a reason for that...

So welcome to the Cave of the Wind!

Thanks for watching! See you in a wee bit! :)

-----------------------------------

Episode 14 - It's An Abomination!

Hey there folks, today we're heading on back to North Window to take on Neclord at his castle! He has some pretty ugly defences but that's where the excitement comes in! :)

Thanks for watching! See you soon! :)

-----------------------------------

Episode 15 - With The Flip Of A Coin

Hey there folks, today we go looking for a coin! Oh and there's a bit of a battle but what's that compared with coin hunting?

Thanks for watching! See you in a bit! :)

-----------------------------------
Oof! All caught up! :rofl:
 
Episode 16 - Rolling The Die


Hey peoples, today we're going to be expanding our party by exploring the nearby towns a wee bit more! Partially for a boat but more importantly to have a woman who can do our laundry. Cough.

Thanks for watching! See you soon! :)
 
Episode 17 - Crossing The Big Blue


Hey peoples, time for us to finally check out sailing a little bit by heading on over to Lakewest! There's plenty of recruiting going on too; our army is really starting to grow now huh?

Thanks for watching! See you in a bit! :)
 
Episode 18 - A Multicultural Mixing Pot


Hey peoples, we've finally made it to Two River; the town of many races! Now let's chase down Chaco, shall we? Little shi

Thanks for watching! See you in a bit! :)

----------------------------------------------------

Episode 19 - Such A Pest


Hey folks, the Two River Sewers aren't too bad but the boss is without a doubt the hardest so far! Meet the Pest Rat!

-------------------------------------------------

Pest Rat Strategy:

- Hero needs to use Battle Oath and then stick to Great Blessing.
- Luc should be using his best spells (or whoever you have who can use spells well).
- Everyone else should focus on healing with spells or medicines or attacking if they get chance.
- This boss has two attacks per turn and can hit everyone for a tonne, so healing and surviving is key! Also, he can poison you so take in some antitoxins.

-------------------------------------------------

Thanks for watching! See you in a bit! :)

----------------------------------------------------

Episode 20 - Go Go Gadget Meg!


Hey folks, today we're heading to a load of new locations and recruiting a tonne of new characters! I feel like I'm having dejavu...but that's what we're doing! Meg and Gadget are pretty amazing!

Thanks for watching! See you in a bit! :)
 
Episode 21 - The Warrior, The Maiden And The Unicorn


Hey peoples, it's time for Tengaar and Hix to be smack bang in the middle of the spotlight and it's one of my favourite plot threads of the game! Enjoy!

Thanks for watching! See you soon! :)

------------------------------------

Episode 22 - The Ghosts Of Greenhill Academy



Hey there peoples, are you ready to meet Nina? Nobody is ever ready to meet Nina. Enjoy! Greenhill is such a nice city but while I don't normally like academic areas in RPGs, this one is pretty good! It has spooky goings on and everything!

Thanks for watching! See you soon! :)

------------------------------------

Episode 23 - The Trouble With Teresas


I read Teresas as tweezers...

Anyway, welcome back to Greenhill Zone! We're gonna be wrapping up the area today, ready to be moving onto greener pastures next time!

Thanks for watching! See you soon! :)
 
Episode 24 - Return Of A Viki!


Hey peoples, Viki is back from the first game! She seems just as lost and ditzy as ever! One of my favourite characters, not only for her personality but also for her contribution to Hyrule Castle! Halfway to having such a convenient ability. Other than gaining Viki, we also make our way through the Pathway To Miranda and make it to the city itself! Also, there's a really useful secret in this episode that will make a certain battle so much easier! In fact...it makes it impossible to lose :).

Thanks for watching! See you in a bit! :)

----------------------------------------------

Episode 25 - In Memory Of Black


Hey peoples, this epiosde is all about the dragons! Dragon hunting of a different sort. You may even remember a new character that we're recruiting from the first game!

Thanks for watching! See you soon! :)

----------------------------------------------

Episode 26 - A Village Of Sacrifices



Hey there folks, today we're following Miklotov down to the Muse area and we see that the Highland army is attepting to expand even more! Can they get any more powerful?

Thanks for watching! See you in a bit! :)
 
Alright...here we go lmao. Excuse the sign off at the end of each description; trying to keep it all the same.

---------------------------------------------

Episode 27 - Poison In The Blood


Hey there folks, it turns out Jowy can be awful deceptive and cunning. Yes, a right shite in fact. RIP.

Thanks for watching! See you soon! :)

---------------------------------------------

Episode 28 - I've Got Worms



Hey peoples, just a wee bit of a worm issue today, along with plenty of other stuff. Lots of recruiting which may have resulted in us losing out on a character! We'll find out later on I guess lol.

Thanks for watching! See you in a bit! :)

---------------------------------------------

Episode 29 - Collector Of Mythical Beasts!


Hey peoples, today we're meeting a new villain or two but more importantly: we collect some mythical creatures for our army! They look pretty amazing in battles too ha!

Thanks for watching! See you soon! :)

---------------------------------------------

Episode 30 - A Blight On This World


Hey there peoples! What we have here is one of the most infamous parts of this game: the attack on Luca Blight! Enjoy!

Thanks for watching! See you in a bit! :)

---------------------------------------------


Episode 31 - The Return Of GcDohl!


Hey folks, we have a wee bit of plot this episode but more importantly: GcDohl, I mean McDohl, is back! He's a tricky little blighter to keep hold of but it's so good to see the main protagonist of the first game back!

Thanks for watching! See you soon! :)
 
Episode 32 - The Singer And The Man In Red


Hey there folks, there's plenty going on in this episode but my favourite part is when the singer gets stage fright. Round of applause for trying though everyone!

--------------------------------------------

Episode 33 - Jowy And The Peace Treaty


Hey there folks, it's time for our hero to meet up with his childhood best friend again: Jowy! How will the peace treaty go? We also get to meet Neclord again and he's up to his usual antics. Maybe we can finally stop him once and for all this time?

--------------------------------------------

Episode 34 - Sierra's Love Of Humans


Hey there folks, it's time for us to track down Neclord with the help of a mysterious woman called Sierra! Is she supposed to be a vampire too? Or a witch who has lived for centuries? I'm not actually sure; does anyone have the answer?

So off we go to the Tinto Mines!

--------------------------------------------

Episode 35 - They Did The Monster Mash



Hey there peoples, it's time for us to finally try and take down Neclord! Again! Will it actually work out this time? It's a decently hard fight so I bloody hope so!

--------------------------------------------

Episode 36 - Return To Greenhill


Hey there folks! With this episode, we head on back to Greenhill and meet a new enemy in the form of Lucia! We also collect the odd character and stuff as per usual. Nothing hugely unique about this episode, as you can probably tell from the title lmao.

Thanks for watching! See you soon :).
 
Episode 37 - The Boniest Of Dragons


Hey peoples, so I've been talking about a boss that is extremely weak to wind for a while now and here he is: the bone dragon! Other than taking him on, we also recruit some of the more backtracky characters who can be a pain in the arse; don't worry, I've tried to edit so that it's as pain-free as possible lol.

--------------------------------------------------

Episode 38 - Howling At The Moon


Hey there folks, today we're taking on a pretty stunning looking boss in the form of the golden wolf! I love the look of this one but it ain't so hard. There's also a tonne of plot stuff but I'll leave all that for you to check out :).

--------------------------------------------------

Episode 39 - Infiltrating Rockaxe Castle


Hey there, are you ready to sneak into Rockaxe Castle? It can be a confusing place to navigate, especially if you're hunting down every treasure chest, but I find it pretty interesting specifically because of that.

--------------------------------------------------

Episode 40 - Nanami's Greatest Skills



Hey there folks, we have some major plot going on today! I mean, we're coming towards the end of the game so there's going to be loads of plot all the way through now lol. But still! If you're a fan of Nanami, this is the episode for you! ;)

--------------------------------------------------

Episode 41 - Lucia And The Most Major Of Battles


Hey all, welcome to the start of the final dungeon! We also take on the last of the major battles (thank God) and fight Lucia once more...she's a wee bit tougher this time though!

--------------------------------------------------

Episode 42 - The Castle Depths


Hey peoples, here's the rest of the maze-like final dungeon! Whoever thought they would create a castle like this? That's what L'Renouille Castle is all about though! Being hard and confusing enough to make a final dungeon ha!

Thanks for watching! See you next time for the series finale! :)
 
Episode 43 ~Thanks For Watching!~


Hey there folks, we've made it to the end of another adventure! Here is the final boss and the credits but most importantly, after all of the blood, sweat and tears, here's the best ending! Enjoy! :)

Thank you so much for watching and sticking with the series through thick and thin! I've loved making it but dear god has it been a lot of research and effort lmao. But we made it! Next up, we'll be checking out a game I haven't played before. I actually can't wait for Halloween! :D

Thanks again for watching! See you really soon! I hope you'll stick around for what's to come! :)
