I hope that this is posted in the correct thread.

Has anyone found and tips and tricks with regards to general gameplay in Suikoden 2?

I have just discovered that you can play about 90% of the game with 1 hand.

Just use the L1 instead of the X button and the L2 button instead of the O button.

The only time when you need to use your other hand is when you need to open the menu screen.

...because lord knows how much strain it is to play an RPG...I dont wanna know what the other free hand was needed for...

LOL :D

I don't regard it as a strain to play with 2 hands, it is a nice touch though.

Ahhh!!

You see that just shows a lack of fore planning on your behalf.

All you need to do is eat fast/take away food!!! When you have finished then you can simply throw the waste into an handy nearby bin with you free hand AT THE SAME TIME AS PLAYING THE GREATEST RPG ON EARTH!

How considerate of Konami to give us all a chance to develop our ambi-dexterity as well as useful multitasking skills.

I never really do anything while I'm playing Suikoden except... play Suikoden. So the multitasking thing doesnt really help me out.
Thanks

LOL, I don't think I'll be needing to play with one hand until Suikoden starts getting bromides like the Lunar series. >_>

:| I'm not much of a fan for eating and playing video games at the same time. Of course this might be due to the fact that I think I've been gaining a little weight as of late.

Other than eating or... you know, picking up a glass of water... what other reasons would there be to play Suikoden with one hand? Well okay, maybe I don't want to know (like Eriatarka).

Well theres the Infamous "Maltida glitch" which from muse you can actulary Push the door to enter the maltida domain. You can level up to mid 40's and attain both futch and humphrey before you even make it too kuckus.

Also apparently theres this trick when you go to an inn and are asked to save supposedly if you hit the cancel button u stay for free.

Suikoden 5 didnt make me less of a fan; it restored my faith after the abomination that was suikoden 4.

Just to add a note to the one-handed playing "tip." You can open the menu using the SELECT button. You can also play Suikoden 3 with your right hand only as mentioned above.

I love that feature. it's not that it's difficult to play with two-hands, it's just a convenience.

As to my own tip or trick... hmm, here's a little meta-gaming tip...

In Suikoden 3, at the end of chapter 3 for each character, spend all their money on Gold Bars, Perals and Ancient Text. Then, if you can't locate any of these trade items, tie up your money in knight armor. You don't even have to wait until chapter 3. Geddoe's team will get great equipment from treasure bosses and not need much cash so you could start at chapter 1. Hugo doesn't have access to a warehouse until chapter 3 so I wouldn't start doing it until then.

This is because you end up with more money than you can carry. So instead of wasting anything greater than 999,999, spend the cash on inventory to be sold when needed during chapters 4 & 5. Even if you buy your trade items at the high locations (Vinay Del Zexay for Gold Bars and Ancient Text), you'll still make a 1:1 cash return. I would only buy at the high price locations in chapter 3 though, when you've spent cash on everything you need.

By doing this, you won't need to do the whole prosperity thing because you'll rarely run out of money unless you're sharpening everyone's stuff to 16 and giving the best equipment to all party members.

Try to get to the Flame Champion hideout with ~200,000 potch. Fight the Azzodess which should bump you up to 300,000 and you probably won't waste very much cash.

Yeah, I wish I'd known about that 999,999 potch limit earlier. ;P That came as some annoyance when I beat a treasure boss. I started off with around 975,000 potch before the battle so I didn't get all the potch that was supposed to be awarded to me.

M'eh, I spent a lot of money sharpening weapons so I never had to worry about the 999,999 potch limit after a while. It's a good suggestion to do the armor / trade item thing though. Especially if you don't spend much potch with all characters. :P
