The Level 99 Trick... (Suikoden II)

Ujitsuna

Did anyone ever use this? I read Aurelien telling me how he used it on all his characters and that it didn't work with Genshu, although I've heard of the trick and I know how to do it, I've never actually tested or used it. Do some players need it to complete the game? Have you used it?

I doubt anyone needs it to clear the game. Before I used cheat discs and the like, however, I used to do it in replays, I just have a hang-on about maxing out characters as much as possible.

I've never used the 99th level trick,either i never once thought about it,that trick sounds really intriguing,i like leveling up my characters too like John does.

Plus there are cheat code devises like gameshark that people will turn to as well.

I've used it once to bring my Chuchara to level 99. Sadly I think I got screwed in stat growth as he ended up still sucking majorly (I think his STR ended up close to 1 STR/Level ratio which is VERYYY bad).

And no I didn't use it on all characters. I said that Genshu is the only one who can't use the level 99 trick (I'm not that patient in keeping Riou's level so low) because that's the fact based on how the trick works, and not because I tried one by one on everyone lol. That'd be insane if I tried.

As far as whether the trick is needed or not, well we all know that Suikoden has never been the most difficult game in the world, so obviously it's not required by any means. I guess one of the main reasons people use this trick is simply for fun (to see how strong one can be, just to "do" the trick, etc).

Sort of like using the Matilda Glitch you mean as a way to quicken the pace of getting characters leveled up faster,or am i missing the point altogether.

I haven't used it yet, although I know how it works. I just don't seem to find the need for it, since Suikoden II isn't really one of the most difficult games I've played. But mainly it is because it's too much of a hassle for me to do so. If I wanted to do such, I would rather use a gameshark or any other similar device. It's time efficient, and it yields equal results. But I think that's just me.

I've managed to use it on Lorelei and that's it. Though in a rather similar fashion I got Luc to 89 or something, his Magic stat was so far ahead of Mazus' too.

Used it on Karen but it didn't work as well as I'd hope so i stopped. Man she was still way behind my other characters even though I got her to about level 90+ :oops:

Something interesting ot note, that other people have noted too.

On some of my play throughs of Suikoden II, when I recruited Pesmerga and Mazus they were on level 99. Others have reported the same occurence with them, and also Georg Prime.

I don't know how to explain this, as it doesnt happen every time. I assume it's some sort of bug, though I prefer to believe that it's a way of telling us of the "legendary" status of these characters. Or near "superhuman" abilities of these characters if you prefer. Georg is "the best swordsman in the world", Mazus is probably one of the greatest Arch Mages of all time, and Pesmerga is an obviously powerful enigma that isn't human, is likely from another world/plane, and is probably far more powerful than anyone suspects.

I doubt that's the case, bro. The bug can also happen with Hoi when you recruit him. :*laugh*:

I've never used this, though, I know of it. I'd rather work toward the ending.

Those characters affected by the "bug" are characters that join at a level dependent to that of Riou's.

Anyway, you don't need to be Level 99 to clear the game. Suikoden II's pretty easy. And yes, it's impossible to do this trick on Genshu, unfortunately. He can only go as far as Level 75. *sigh*
