Suikoden II Let's Play - With Many Screenshots!

[Pumpkin]

We head back to the academy and run in to Nina AGAIN. That girl is everywhere.

230.png

Flik tells Riou he will leave this up to him and then runs off.

231.png

I don't think he's being bashful, Nina. She runs after him.

We head back to the dorms and Nanami looks forward to another delicious dinner, only to be disappointed to find they were serving spinach. Then we run in to NINA AGAIN SURPRISE

She tells Nanami that their duel is far from over. I ask her why she's going after Flik so hardcore anyways/

232.png233.png

As you can see, when she talks, we walk away.

We head to bed, but are awoken late at night by the sounds of creaking.

234.png

We go investigate and see someone run past.

235.png

We chase the ghost all around the dorms until we arrive in the basement. The ghost has disappeared and it seems to be a dead end. But then we notice a light is out, so we turn it on. Then a secret passage opens up.

236.png

We head through it and arrive in the Academy.

237.png

Shiro reads our minds and comments with a "....."

So we decide to jump the ghost.

238.png

After getting fussed at, we find that the ghost wasn't a ghost at all, but just Flik.

239.png240.png

He says he was hot on his trail when we ambushed him. We continue down the corridor until we reach a dead end. I touch the statue which opens up another secret passage. Gee whiz.

We head out and wander though the woods a bit before we arrive at "The Ghost's Haunted Shack". Haven't we established there is no ghost by now?

As we decide to investigate, Shin comes out.

241.png242.png

We try to tell him that we are our allies but he won't believe us. He and Flik are about to fight when Pilika starts crying.

243.png

Teresa makes her way out to us.

244.png

She makes a comment to us, still thinking we are her enemies.

245.png

We head to the ghost's haunted shack.

246.png247.png

She then tells us we need Greenhill's strength, not hers.

248.png

[Pumpkin]

249.png250.png251.png

She tells us that Highland gave the soldiers of Muse back their confiscated weapons. She says there were some skeptics, but most figured there was a general who wanted a fair fight.

252.png253.png

She says Highland arrived to begin their siege, but they didn't attack.

254.png255.png256.png

They figured that was the reason Muse was given their weapons back.

257.png

She said she was powerless to stop it. And because of that, she won't help us. She suggests we leave Greenhill. Shin escorts us out, asking us to leave.

258.png

Flik tells him not to threaten us and asks what he's going to do, since they can't hide forever. He says that she wishes for more time and leaves.

Nanami points out what a bummer it is that we came all the way to Greenhill for nothing.

259.png

[Pumpkin]

UPDATE TIME~~

This is actually a pretty important update, story wise!

We leave the dorms on our last day and see Flik outside. Mukumuku apparently asks where Nina is and Flik says he doesn't know anything about that.

Tip: Don't bring along Shiro and Mukumuku for this part of the story because they can't talk and you have to kind of piece things together.

So we head in to town to find a large crowd. What's this about?

260.png

The people yell and call them liars, but Flik isn't so confident about their responses.

261.png

Pilika starts acting up, and we aren't sure why, until we see a familiar face show up.

262.png263.png264.png

Jowy

Pilika gets excited to see him and runs towards him, Nanami following close behind.

265.png

We all go after them. Riou, Jowy and Nanami meet face to face and Riou asks why he is doing this. Jowy doesn't answer. Rowd, however, decides we need to all be brought to justice.

266.png

The people swarm the party and the crowd becomes chaotic, causing Rowd to lose sight of us.

267.png

Seed and Culgan arrive.

268.png

We manage to escape back to the Academy. Things being the way they are, Teresa needs to be rescued.

269.png

We head back through the academy, through the secret passage, and the woods. We occasionally have to fight Highland soldiers. Also these things called Monwers that I assume is a combination of Monster and Flower, and um... they sure are!

We stop for a quick break and Nanami expresses disbelief at the Jowy situation.

Old news, Nanami. We've known about that since Two-River .

270.png

We head back to the ghost cabin and see Nina, Shin, and Teresa. Flik asks Nina how she knew about this place. This was after she got super excited to see him, of course.

271.png272.png273.png

Flik is against this plan, and tries to get her to come with us.

274.png

This causes Flik to back off sadly, and Shin and Teresa leave so that she can hand herself over.

275.png

She says Teresa knew about the food situation, but she still helped the soldiers from Muse and she has such a kind heart.

She's pretty difficult if you ask me.

So we of course follow after her to stop her insane plan.

276.png

Ha ha ha ha shut up Rowd you jerk

But just as she is about to hand herself over...

277.png278.png279.png

[Pumpkin]

Shin refuses to step down and Teresa pleads with him. Then, Nina arrives with some villagers. She says she won't let Highland take her, and tells Rowd and the guards to move aside. Which they do. She approaches Teresa.

Teresa says she is doing this to stop the suffering, and for everyone.

280.png

She says the battle took a great toll on their hearts.

281.png

The people all agree with Nina, encouraging Teresa to continue on and live.

282.png

She is inspired by this and promises that she will one day return.

We head back through the forest, as Shin goes on to scout up ahead. We face the occasional fight, until we are caught by Rowd and his goons.

Man I hate Rowd so much. That guy is such a jerk.

Shin arrives vows to protect Teresa once again. She fusses some more, because she's difficult like I said. Shin tells her his loyalty is not to the Mayor, or to her family, but to Lady Teresa herself. D'awwww. She continues to fuss so Flik knocks her out.

283.png

We get going and Shin stays behind to take care of Rowd.

284.png

We continue on until we see Pilika start acting up again. I'm sure you can figure out why. She runs over to Jowy, and they both come over to us.

Riou once again asks what the heck he is doing.

285.png286.png287.png

That would be a fun friendship to try to mend, wouldn't it. Like "hey, remember when we were at war with each other, ha ha, yeah good times."

Anyways, I refuse to back down.

288.png

Aww she loves him She starts crying. Nanami takes a fit saying she doesn't believe any of this.

289.png

I have to drag her away from him

290.png

We head out and Jowy says Farewell.

Rowd arrives and asks if he saw the Toran Army pass by.

291.png

Rowd is suspicious, saying he could have sworn his men saw us. He also says that Jowy is still a n00b (paraphrasing) and that he was told by Luca to keep an eye on him. He threatens to tell Luca about this incident, where Jowy let us go.

But, Culgan and Seed arrive to defend Jowy.

292.png293.png

Rowd gets upset and it is suggested to him that he go back to take care of the riot and things in Greenhill.

When he leaves, Jowy asks them why they're helping him. Seed says he loves Highland, it is a great country.

294.png

Seed says it would be hard to enjoy it standing on a bunch of scorched earth. I would agree.

295.png

They tell him they are available for his cause. He tells them that their loyalty is not in vain.

And that is it for today!

Tune in next time for another exciting episode of we're about to recruit Jeane's boobs.

Hope you enjoyed

[Raistlin]

Jeane: a character whose most significant change throughout the course of the Suikoden series is that her attire becomes mysteriously more skimpy with each game.

[Pumpkin]

Haven't forgotten about this, just taking a little break for a few days. Will update again on Monday

[Quindiana Jones]

Unacceptable. You can't promise boobies and then go all cold turkey on us.

This isn't marriage, y'know.

[Pumpkin]

M'kay, little update today. I apologize that they're been small and/or slow updates lately, but my nightly schedule has been a bit thrown off and I'm usually busy with cleaning/exercising/apply for jobs/learning spanish/typing practice/writing during the day. But things will be back to normal soon!

For now, here is an update!

First, we go recruit Jeane's boobs on the way back from Greenhill.

We head to the Rune Shop in Two River City.

296.png

Hooker? I mean.................................................. Rune Mistress?

She was teaching at the Academy in Greenhill, in case you're wondering what the heck she's talking about.

297.png

Yay! New recruit!


#40 Chiketsu Star of Noble Wisdom; Hsuan Tsan: The Ugly Warrior

She occupies the same star in all 5 Suikoden games.

55/108

And for the pervs and/or curious, here is Jeane and her boob transformations throughout the series

Suikoden 1:
Suikoden 2:
Suikoden 3:
Suikoden 4:
Suikoden 5:

I like 4 the most, personally.

Next we head to Kobold Village and find a small girl in distress. She tells us how she had three sheep, but...

298.png

Of course we offer to help.

299.png

She is just so adorable . If I have a daughter, I hope she looks like that.

So we go get her sheep. Extremely easy, takes like 2 minutes.

300.png

Yeah, I know. I'm pretty great

301.png

So of course because she is so adorable, or because I want to recruit everyone, I offer her to bring her sheepies and herself to my castle.

302.png

And another recruit!

#92 Chisyu The Prisoned Star; Chu Kuei: Water Beast on Dry Land

56/108

Back to the castle!

My Shiro report:

303.png

Comment box letter:

304.png

And on with the game.

305.png

She says thanks, but says she wants to be alone right now. As she is heading out, however, Shin and Fitcher arrive, making Teresa very happy.

306.png

Flik tells Fitcher it was a great accomplishment to have gotten himself and Shin out of there. Fitcher tells him that's not all.

Ohohohoho.

307.png

Whoo~~~

Nina says she felt like she was being a nuisance to Flik, but now she knows that she just needs to be by his side!

308.png

Then she tells us she made him soup and that it is getting cold so he needs to eat it, right now.

Then this happens:

309.png

[Pumpkin]

Also, we had some more recruits. Most of them were auto-recruits, except for Emilia who I told you how to recruit earlier. The game never tells you she joins, though, which leads me to be paranoid that I did something wrong up until I get to check my Tablet of Stars and make sure she is there

Recruits!

#71 Chisui The Fulfilled Star; Hou Chien: The Strong Armed Gorilla

She does look like a strong armed gorilla. This star is usually occupied by the Librarian.

#10 Tenki Lofty Star; Ch'ai Chin: The Little Whirlwind

This star is usually occupied by a town mayor or representative. I thought she was playing with her hair in her pic, but it is apparently a feather.

#97 Chisatsu The Searching Star; Li Yun: The Blue Eyed Tiger

And finally,

#11 Tenfu Star of Wealth; Li Yun: The Eagle Who Smites the Heavens

That's right, Nina is an auto recruit. You can't escape Nina.

60/108

Shu suggests I get some sleep. I have no choice because the send me to my room and if I try to leave, Nanami, who is standing guard , fusses at me and tells me to go to sleep.

Meanwhile...

310.png

Luca says he keeps his oaths and asks Jowy what he wants. Jowy hesitates before saying


boobs.


Well not really, but I suppose boobs come with what he wants.

311.png312.png

Luca then suggests that he cut his head off. Jowy is not a fan of this plan. But he does say he has an idea for Luca. Luca asks what it is, and tells him if it's stupid, he WILL cut his head off. Jowy suggests they discuss it somewhere more private.

313.png

So the next morning, we head back to the war room. Shu says everyone is there, but Viktor points out that Flik is missing. Sure enough, he comes Flik.

314.png315.png

That is him fuming in anger, btw

316.png317.png

Flik tells Viktor he will pay for that, but decides to focus and ask Shu what's up.

318.png319.png320.png

I agree that this is a good idea, partly for story progression, mostly because that way I get to recruit an awesome character who lets me teleport places.

321.png

And so next time we head to Matilda!

That is all for today. I hope you enjoyed !

[Quindiana Jones]

Holy crap, Nina has the baddest and assiest of all the badass star names.

[Pumpkin]

Update time!

Lots of story, BUT FIRST




COOKING CONTEST!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Let's meet our judges:

322.png323.png324.png325.png

This is a really tough panel . They're tastes aren't even specified, except for Leona.

These are the dishes I have picked:

326.png

Now then. The challengers make Clam Mayo for an appetizer.

327.png

They somehwo do better than my Eggsplosive, which deserves at least a 3 just for the name.

328.png

Next they make buttered clams.

329.png

And it ties with my Kobold burger.

330.png

The Kobold gave me the lowest score of the Kobolds

Next, for dessert, the challenger makes Island Salad.

Is it actually socially acceptable in Suiko world to serve soup and salads as desserts?

331.png

My cream croquettes do slightly better.

332.png

In the end, I win by one measly point. I am not really that comfortable with this.

333.png

For winning, I get the Buttered Clams recipe!

I also set up my castle menu to earn some extra monies.

Castle Menu
Egg Mayo Roll - 60 - Heals 60 HP
Green Salad - 80 - Heals 100 HP
Vichyssoise - 90 - Heals 200 HP
Ginger Beef Bun - 250 - Heals 500 HP
Sweet & Sour Fish - 210 - Heals 300 HP and cures balloon

With that done, we head over to Matilda. As we are crossing the border, we see a girl appear before us.

334.png

IT'S VIKI!!!!

For those unfamiliar with the series, Viki is an adorable girl who appears in all of the games, and twice in III. She's a bit ditzy, but a sweetheart. She teleports, not only from location to location, but through different time periods. Because of this, her timeline is a bit messed up. Series regulars recognize her in certain games, whereas she doesn't recognize them yet, because she hasn't travelled there yet. There is a theory that she is from a time later in the future than any of the Suikoden games. There's another theory that she is the younger version of Leknaat, which I don't think is true, but it's an interesting thought.

She asks us where we are and when we are and then she asks us for a place to stay.

335.png336.png

Of course! The great thing about Viki, aside from being adorable, is that she can teleport your party anywhere you've been before. No more needlessly walking from place to place, taking up all of your time. If you only go out of your way to recruit one character in any of the Suikoden games, go for Viki. Luckily in this game, and 3 out of 5 total, she is an auto recruit.

She teleports off and comes right back.

337.png

Another thing to note is that she teleports thing (and people and herself) when she sneezes. Not always where she wants them to go. Occasionally when you ask her to teleport you, you will end up in the wrong spot (its only happened to me once, so it isn't a big concern.)

#78 Chitatsu The Quick Star; Kung Wang: The Spotted Necked Tiger

Viki has this star in all 5 games. 61/108

Now we travel another short distance and meet a welcoming party.

338.png339.png

They really don't give me much choice in the matter, as they refuse to let me leave the castle.

340.png

[Pumpkin]

Oh, btw, Gorudo is a jerk. He spends the whole meeting insulting me and others and I speak up and get shushed by Nanami.


341.png342.png

Yep, that's it. We head back to our rooms and Nanami suggests we try to talk to him again in the morning. In the meantime, we get some sleep.

343.png

Can never just sleep can I

Leknaat appears and tells me how the war has shed much blood and tears, but less poetic.

344.png

She tells me the rune will assist me in the final battle and it will determine our fates.

So back to bed, wake up, head out of the room, and see Miklotov rushing over to Gorudo. We go see what's up.

345.png

That's what's up. Gorudo expresses disbelief at this, saying there is no way the Highland Army would attack now. I don't know why, I'm not a tactician.

346.png347.png

And that is what we do!

We see the little Muse refugees trying to get to Matlida, so full of hope. But then the Highland Army shows up.

348.png349.png

Well this is awful. We get to see some battles like this:

350.png

Miklotov is also upset about this and suggests we go help them. Gorudo, on the other hand, being the ass that he is, says we will do no such thing.

351.png352.png353.png

Miklotov is obviously displeased about this.

354.png

Miklotov backs down and we get to see some more not fun battles.

355.png

There is one unit that manages to keep going and going and going until they get cornered and are confronted by Luca's unit. Impressively, the little refugee group of nobody manages to take out about half of Luca's unit all by themselves. Eventually they are defeated, though

356.png

Camus and Miklotov are dismissed and they both walk around us and out the door. Gorudo just bulldozes his way through. He has serious ego problems.

We exit the room and find Camus and Miklotov in a discussion.

357.png358.png

Camus stands aside as Miklotov leaves. He approaches us and asks us to help Miklotov as he has to stay here and attend to Gorudo.

359.png

We now FINALLY get to explore the town. We spot Miklotov talking to his knights about leaving, and then he takes off. We'd better hurry up and catch him! And by that I mean stay and shop. And by that I mean only buy medicine because the armor is overpriced and the runes are pretentious. Kind of like Gorudo.

And that's all for today! Hope you enjoyed

[Bright Shield]

Great job Shion.
