2) In case you didn't notice, the uniforms of the Allied Army closely resemble the outfit of their leader, Riou.
3) Riou and Tir Mcdohl's Double Leader Attack is almost identical from the Master-Pupil Attack from Suikoden I. The latter is a cooperative attack by Tir and his martial arts instructor, Kai.
4) Most players believe that there are only two possible endings in Suikoden II. Actually, there is another one but it can only be triggered during the events in Tinto City. Unfortunately, it's another bad ending.
5) The Friendship Rune is a perfect item to be embedded on Riou's tonfas. It gives additional +1 to ATT for every two Stars of Destiny recruited.
6) What's the best way to evade Luca's fatal attacks? Use the Fire Sealing Rune to be completely impervious from his fiery damage.
7) Camus was probably named after Albert Camus. A renowned French author, journalist, philosopher and recipient of 1957's Nobel Prize for Literature.
8) Before jumping off the cliff early in the game, try to defeat the Highland soldiers 108 times to trigger some minor twist shortly after. This will change the intro from sepia into full colored scenes.
9) Sheena's sword Kirinji is President Lepant's most treasured heirloom. It is a curved sword in Suikoden I but was changed into a rapier in Suikoden II.
10) The Earth Rune embedded on Sheena's hand and the Star Earrings on his accessory are probably mementos from his mother, Eileen.
11) The painting hanging on Tir's room at McDohl's Mansion is a portrait of his deceased best friend, Ted.
12) Surprisingly, Sheena had a Lightning Rune permanently attached on his hand in Suikoden I, but was replaced by an Earth Rune in Suikoden II.
13) Despite the fact that he is no warrior but a strategist, yet Shu holds the strongest stats among the war units in the battlefield. His special abilities includes Evade and Critical with +3 ATT and +1 DEF.
14) It's rare to get Leon's defeat quotes in the battlefield and it requires a lot of luck. Neverthless, it is quite achievable when you use characters with powerful abilities like those of Tsai's Fire Spear.
15) If you missed to recruit Mukumuku in Kyaro Town you can still get him by walking to and fro in the path at Muse-Greenhill border. You just need to have at least one free slot in your current party though.
16) The name Mukumuku literally means "plump, soft or chubby" in Japanese.
17) Bright and Chuchara are the youngest members of the Allied Army at the age of 1.
18) Mukumuku is the youngest among the 108 Stars of Destiny at the age of 5.
19) All of the 5 Flying Squirrels share the same age.
20) It is interesting to note that each of the Flying Squirrels has affinity to only one type of elemental rune. For example, Mikumiku can only equip the Wind Rune while Makumaku can only equip the Water Rune.
21) Nanami is one of the most agile character in the game. She always makes the first move in battles due to her outstanding speed. Thus, Spark Rune which enables all allies to make the preemptive attack after the wielder is highly recommended for her.
22) If you missed to recruit Nanami in Kyaro Town she will eventually join the party outside Muse City.
23) If observed carefully, the character designs between Genkaku and Jowy Atreides has striking resemblance. Han Cunnningham, on the other hand, has striking resemblance to Riou.
24) The Cup of Promise accessory for Rikimaru and Amada has a chance to inflict Knockdown on enemies when unleashing the Manly Attack.
25) The tragic past of Rikimaru, his voracious appetite and manly demeanor are strikingly similar to Wan Fu in Suikoden III.
26) According to Richmond's primary investigation, Amada is from the Island Republic. This is a reference to the Island Nations, an archipelago just south of Toran Republic. It is also where the whole event in Suikoden IV took place.
27) In one of his battle quotes, Amada boasted that he has the strength of 100 men in battles. Oddly enough, this claim is also quoted by both Gantetsu and Chaco.
28) Amada and Tai Ho are true-blooded seadogs and the only navy captains in the Allied Army.
29) Contrary to popular belief, Tai Ho and Yam Koo are not brothers-in-law as mentioned in Richmond's investigation. They are actually what others simply called as oath-brothers.
30) In Suikoden I, Yam Koo is one of the game's playable characters. He and Tai Ho can perform a unite called the Fisherman Attack.
31) Many Suikoden fans wondered what happened to Culgan and Seed after they lost the fight in L' Renouille. Unfortunately, they died on that fateful day together with the Highland general, Han Cunningham.
32) Yuber, Lucia, Rowd, Leon Silverburg and Jillia Blight are the prominent Highland officials who survived the crushing defeat of Highland Kingdom over the Allied Army.
33) Kage is a ninja commissioned by the Highland Kingdom to aid Jowy in assassinating Anabelle and infiltrating Muse City. He is one of the 108 Stars of Destiny in the Liberation Army during the events in Suikoden I.
