  • Best Boss battle theme in all Suikoden games, somebody make a metal version of it please!!!

  • I got the game as a gift back in 2003, and kept it mint despite constant use since then. Boss. XD

  • Good luck finding this game. I saw it at a Half-Price Books, but it was 10 dollars more than what I had....

  • Konami knows how to throw that Castlevania sounding music into Suikoden like a boss <3

  • this should be in the top 5

  • will there be a gathering of suikoden characters like DISSIDIA FINAL FANTASY??

  • @donjumeng04

    Holy shit please no, not all hundreds of them, holy shit, Dissidia is too much by its 22 playable characters, goddamn it took me forever to complete 100%.

  • this game is easily the best game on playstation hands fucking down. all aside some of the other FAN-fucking-tastic games are Xenogears, Vagrant Story, Parasite Eve, Legend of Mana, Valkyrie Profile, Grandia, Wild Arms, Star Ocean 2, Tales of Destiny, Saga Frontier, Arc the Lad, Final Fantasy IX, Final Fantasy: Tactics, Front Mission 2 or 3 i believe! :D

  • @McScreamo I agree but also Resident Evil 2 and Final Fantasy VII are some of the best as well :)

  • @slitheryjuggler94 resident evil maybe. but i don't really think ff7 is all that good.

  • What I never understood was why Konami never decided to make a true sequel to the Suikoden series after III but instead they decided to go back to tell the stories of the past (parts 4 and 5 are the past I believe) which is pretty much milking Suikoden series....

  • @Choualor2k2

    4 was far far in the past while 5 started before Suikoden 2 (and I suppose durning the first game) and ended at just about when Suikoden's 2 hero is headed to fight Neclord at the rock town place. So it's not really the whole milking on the 5th game. Plus it makes Georg even cooler in Suikoden 2 then he already was :D

    The 4th game was crap but I really liked the 5th game, even more then the 3rd really.

  • the best game ever!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • kick that bloodsucker out of this realm NOW!!!!

  • lol thought mortal kombat remix started.... at the beginning...

  • Couldn't have asked for a better peice of music for that fight 8D

    Marvelous.

  • The only bad thing about the fight, was that it was so darn easy. Neclord had by far one of the coolest themes I've heard for a boss.

  • @skyknight2003 I know. It is sad to know he can be defeated in 1-2 rounds.

  • I think we can just all agree that 4 should be skipped unless you INSIST on playing all the games.

  • Emulators, go get one

  • My ears are gaining orgasm over and over for this theme, It's just that awesome.

  • gotta buy this game..and im only buying it for this music hahaha i wanna fight this guy really bad.

  • @imraw17 this game suiko 2 is the best game i played but its considered antique now its very hard to the cd for it i lost suiko 1 and its on sales for 100 dollar but 2 is the best even so weak grahics but the story is awesone and u can play several times with different stories occur

  • I remember when I first heard this. I reset my PS and setup to record it. Such an epic song from the best in the series. 

    No clue why the series went to junk after this one.

  • @MrVilfat not really junk. 3 and 5 were sill good. altho 4 was meh-.- Tho No doubt that 1 and 2 are the best

  • This was one of the BEST battle themes ever and this series is an amazing one. It's underground popular but so epic to those who know it!

  • Man this was the 1st and only time I got all 108 stars of destiny lol. An accomplishment I'll never forget, and the ending made it worthwhile. I still have 1 but let a so called "friend/fellow gamer" hold part 2 after I beat it... I ever see him again I'm kicking him in the kneecap. From the front. lol

  • This should be #1. Still is my fav boss theme that hasn't been beat yet after all these years. When I first played Suiko2 It took me forever to beat Neclord just cuz I paused it n kept listening to the song. :3

  • 2 > 1 > 5 > 3 >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> 4

  • I think Suikoden 3 was quite good. As for me, 2>3>5>1. I played Suiko-1 when I was about 14 and couldn't understand the whole story though... I like Suiko-3's rotating chapter/character system that allowing many of the 108 characters to have their own role in the game, not just some passerby pressed into military service by the Hero. Early on, Suiko-3's story is quite interesting and had a good potential, but bad execution and mediocre "army" battle system make this game rather uninspiring.

  • yay best song ever!!!

  • suikoden 2 was one of the best games of all time, imo

  • @Maverick9505 yeah but the normal battle theme was way better

  • @Maverick9505

    No question about that, bro! :)

  • Neclord = Beast...

  • @NextAvenger

    He was REAL tough in Suikoden I

  • i didnt think anyone else knew about this song haha! good job.

  • This is epic music for an epic game. Suikoden II has to be one of the most badass games ever. Between Shu's awesome strategy, the Flying Squirrel unite attack, and the Double Hero Unite and Soul Eater, you cannot go wrong with this game. Period.

  • yeah shu is the best of all time

  • 5 was just as good as 2 in my opinion.

    Personally I enjoyed 5's story more than 2, but 2 had way better characters. Shu is the best strategist in any suikoden by far.

  • I had no high expectation from this game. I mean, Suikoden II; what is this game? It isn't very popular... But, when playing it I couldn't stop and when I finished it, I declared that it was my favorite game of all time for it's gameplay but mostly for the characters and its UNBELIEVABLE story. Suikoden II seriously deserves more than what it got. I wish there was a port in modern consoles so that every RPGs fan finally discovers that this game is one of the best RPGs of all time. Period and thx

  • ye agree suikoden 2 was the best...1 was alrite the rest just sucked....

  • Konami and their vampire themes. Love it!

  • i have all of them :P

  • @dabeastlyboy yep i have all of them in fact i got 1 and 2 twice sealed and unsealed they worth a mint i can tell ya.

  • 25!? D< it should be 1! *shot*

    to me it is still ^^ the music, the storyline, everything is epic in Suikoden II

  • I never played this series but i'll do so for sure!

  • @cybernemrod

    do it!

    best jrpg ever!

  • Is it me or does the very beginning of this sound like old school Mortal Kombat? I always called this theme the Medieval Mortal Kombat theme for that very reason. XD

  • best suikodens in order 2, 1, 5, and 3 and 4 sucked sorry but they did.

  • NICE!, on a sidenote can somebody help me out plz im lookin for a classic rpg to get into ive already played suikoden 1 and 2, all the FF's, the chrono's, xenogears, treasure of rudras, the mana games, threads of fate, live a live, mario rpg, breath of fires, star oceans,

    might be missin some but help would be much appreciated

  • @Syndo Try the tales series the best ones i can think of is Tales of the Abyss Tales of Symphonia or Tales of Vesperia the most recent one.

  • @Syndo You could always give Wild Arms a try.

  • @Syndo Shin Megami Tensei is the way to go

  • @Syndo

    vagrant story and grandia are good... and also the tales series

  • @Syndo u should try...valkyrie profile : silmeria...this game is really good.... it's so hard! to finish early... need to be patience :)

  • @Syndo

    Lunar: SSSC

  • Jeah... Suikoden 2 was a great game...

    But many people dont know about the game..

    What a pitty...

    (sry for my english, Im german^^)

    Ja, Suikoden 2 war/ist ein GROßES Spiel..

    Zu schade dass es so nbekannt ist, sonst wäre es ein ernst zunehmender Gegner für FF7 ..

  • This sounds alot like Durandal - Power Of Seven..... >___>

  • yeah this is the ebst suikoden out there^^

    although i didint beat 1 which made a good impression to me, they are obviously better then 4 with that stupid ship and 5

    I never played three but i heard i didnt miss anythingXD

    i really like this song

  • perfectly FACTORY sealed mint condition copies use to go on ebay for over 350, weather it was 1 or 2... i've also seen "secret of mana" reach over 900$ in a bidding war (has to be factory sealed thats what matters).. it's crazy collectors man, i use to be 1 of them lol... ff6 snes is now at 1,500 - 5,000 so is chrono trigger (factory sealed can't be 1 scratch on it or tear ) & 1 of the holy grails IS FINAL FANTASY 7 FACTORY SEALED MINT/PRISTINE with a "misprint "i" in "masterpeice" 1st print

  • Good luck buying this game, they sell it starting at around 150 bucks or more. DAMN!

  • Phew, how nostalgic !

    Long time not playing Suikoden 2 .

    This is the theme when we must battle with Neclord, right ?

    But I prefer the theme when the battle with Luca Blight.

    ehehehe...

  • It sounds like Castlevania vs. Mortal Kombat.

  • I love this theme, though I've never played this game! I've only played Suikoden 3 and 5.

  • You're missing out. Suikoden 2 is definitely the best in the series by FAR.

    The first Suikoden is really good too. And from 3 on, they are just overly decent games that kept catering to it's fanbase.

    But Suikoden 2 takes the cake. No question about that for me. However, if you do manage to find the game, make sure you also find the first one. They really do go hand in hand.

    Great choice for one a great theme.

  • Thanks for the feedback. I'll definitely try to track this one down.

  • Suikoden 5 is pretty decent actually.

    it starts out slow,but once you get the castle the game is better.

    Suikoden 4 is waay too linear.

    I haven't played suikoden 3 yet

  • I agree. S5 was a huge improvement over the previous S3 and S4. However it still didn't compare to the first two.

    I think the game was too slow paced, while the first two were really quick to toss you into a huge explosion of action. But definitely a big improvement over the third and fourth installment of the series.

    S4 is also decent. It's slow at the start, but the games opens up when you get the boat. S4 went back to its roots when S3 had messed everything up a bit. Good games nonetheless.

  • I disagree on suikoden 4 being good

    I think its not good,way too easy.

    And even the boat scenes are too linear with a lack of places to explore.

    I mean i didn't even get to explore the goddam island full of elves,it really pissed me off beause i wanted to explore it so bad,and characters were so easy to get that it wasn't even funny.

  • @imaznfoo im going to have to disagree with you there my friend the baten kaitos series tops it by far

  • @imaznfoo hey idi you did you play 5, cuz thats a really good game...?

  • @Midgarelite I did. Suikoden 5 is a good game but as I mentioned before, it mainly catered to the fanbase and didn't bring forward anything special or overly innovative.

    The main thing about 5 is how it took the deviations from 3 and 4 and tried to incorporate them into another Suikoden game that truly goes back to its roots. Suikoden 5 feels and plays more like the beloved 1 and 2 with some advanced features found in the later games.

    Definitely a good pick.

  • @imaznfoo I heard "Suikoden V" was excellent.

  • @TheKevinWalker

    Suikoden V tried to reach up to Suikoden's II greatness. But it failed. Get it if you love the series. If you don't. Don't buy it.

  • @TheKevinWalker Well, imo Suiko V is the best Suiko in PS 2 and yeah.. if you love the politics, battles and strategy of suiko II, get Suiko V.

  • @TheKevinWalker Personally, Suiko 5 is my favorite, followed by 2 and 1.

  • @TheKevinWalker Suikoden 5 was a pretty good game. For long time fans of the series, it is a great experience. It really took me back to the roots of the series that they tried to steer away from in 3 and 4.

  • @imaznfoo I got them both for sale xd (working ect)

  • @imaznfoo too bad its so damn expensive.....

  • 2 is the best in the series, by a long shot

  • hella yeah freaking Neclord was so freaking hard i would sweat as i would watch my team die and i had to resurrect them all back to freaking kill this fool with combination attacks even in the first suikoden necloard was a pain i remember when i was stuck or about a week trying to figure out that castle puzzle

  • neclord was a pussy in suikoden 2 he was the hardest boss in suikoden 1  but he is a pussy in 2 luca blight is the hardest boss in 2

  • this song is sooooooo great like the whole game. my first game i ever played.

    I LOVE THIS GAME

  • holy shit a twin o.o

  • Gosh... this efforts in which you had to go through to kill this stupid vampire...

  • This song is so epic. It feels like Alucard is fighting against Dracula on Symphony of the Night

  • I remember I used to just sit there without attacking and listen to the neclord music lol

  • Unite Attack!

    *sits down and has a tea party*

    This game definitely had a unique sense of humor. I think more RPGs would benefit from caped squirrels.

  • Riou is the man...

  • i remember back then that i have mcdohl on my party in suikoden II ^^,

    thanks for the file of the 1st suikoden from my cousin it did really great

  • vs nerclod ?

  • mhm...

  • every time i get to this battle, i always stretch out the battle, just so i can enjoy the music. so awesome.

  • Badass Song Rocks!!!

  • Man this music is so sexy! lol

  • cool song!!!!!!!!!!!5/5

  • one of the bast games i ever saw and the musics are amazing

  • That would be BAD AS HELL. An RPG Castlevania... sign me up! Just the music on this track is fire hot. Add that to some well plotted game design and I'm pumped!!

  • I'm starting to miss the game again :| This is one of the games that I played perfectly, one of the best RPGs ever.

  • good tune, especially for way back when...

  • aw black knights all the way up at 95

  • NECLORD BATTLE, GOD this music is hot!

  • this should be in the top 10

  • This sounds kind of like Castlevania. :-) I love Suikoden and CastleVania!

  • 100% correct! this music does sound like castlevania.

    Wish they can make a RPG Castlevania! epic X3

  • I love this game.

  • Neclord Battle!

  • C00L music man *-* : D

  • This is a pretty well respected theme for most of the RPG circles, and it is ironic as this must be the easiest boss in existence.

  • i have suikoden 2!! =[) its broke tho ='[

  • aw this gives me chills !!!

    awesome

  • yea, this is number 3 for me

    number 2 is (Ar Tonelico)EXEC_PAJA/. Misha_Extracting

    number 1. iiiis... (Ar Tonelico)EXEC_PAJA/. Aurica_Extracting

  • i really enjoy this game.

  • I cant believe this is #25, I am an RPG addict and I gotta say, this is #2 to me, only second to the theme of the first battle with that Half-Brother of Zidane in FF9.

  • kuja rocks! zidane rocks! squall rocks!(ff8) final fantasy is the best RPG EVA!!! i love noebou Utematsu

  • Its FF9 not 8 :P, but yeah I gotta agree again, Kuja -thanks for reminding me- rocks, and his theme music is very cool.

  • o.0

    He said Squall, so it's ff8

  • oops yeah sorry forgot the squall part, sorry been a while hehe

  • I always lose to Neclord cause i dont concentrate to him i concentrate to the music its sooooooo nice

    =D

  • I was listening to this on the bus a few days ago.

    I found it very hard to sit still.

  • rofl, know what you mean!

  • Dance on the bus lolz

  • Luca and Neclord would make such an FUCKING EPIC DUO !!!!!!

  • Wishing another suikoden sequel!!

  • Neclord is the best! I appreciate how he embraces his stereotypical vampire nature: large, forbidding castles, monstrous pipe organs, and lusting after young women. He is comfortable with who he is. Good for him!

  • I think this song would rock in Guitar Hero!

  • I used to have this game years ago, stupidly sold it on ebay. I remember thinking it was awesome and being excited bout getting to the gambling game which I absolutely LOVED exploiting in the first game, and then when I saw that there was a very low cap on the maximum you can win, I got disgusted and stopped playing. I have bought all the Suikoden games right when they come out and they are all incredible. 3 being the best imo.

  • wow, that's rare seeing someone that doesn't think 2 is the best.

  • dont get me wrong, I LOVED 2 when I played it, up until the gambling game, which I stopped playing right then and there. So I missed a lot of the game.

  • Suikoden 2=Greatest Game Ever Made! :D

  • i hear this all the time, my cuz got this game a few years back and he let me borrow it for like a week (like thats long enough) then he decided he wanted to play through it again. So i didn't even get half way through. God i need to find a copy.

  • Damn rights u do THIS GAME ROCKS! GDIT CANT PLAY IT ENOUGH!

  • This music is awesome, but not Neclord :p

  • Ah, this was Kahn's shining moment. Afterwards it was like

    Kahn: I refuse to change my crappy armor in exchange for something half decent.

    Me: ....:bench:

  • Played this game years ago, but I just only recently ran into someone who had all of the first three Suikoden's so I borrowed them and ripped the images to my PC. and 5 min into this one I found the infinite money bug with the gambler ahhh gotta love game memory's.

  • Epic O_o

  • i love the organs lol. it is epic! :D

  • Uber Epic 0_0

  • Ah, my favorite game of all time. Probably one of my favorite soundtracks of all time as well.

  • Oh my gosh!! I wanna play suikoden two all over again!!! Neclorrdd!! i'll kill you!!! XD I love Riou!! whee, Luc!! -dies of the awesomeness- Suikoden 2 is the best game evah!!!

  • Awesome.  I was thinking when I heard Luca Blight's theme earlier that I preferred this one.

  • DIE PIG !

  • STAR DRAGON SWOOOOOOORD ! ! ! !

  • Not a battle theme, but related to Neclord. He has all the awesome music. There's this, then The Fugue "Praise Be To My Master".

  • The entire game is ridiculously easy. The thing that made the Suikoden series great is because of its epic storyline, and how each is linked to another.

    Sadly, its such an underrated game.

  • I wish u said that after obtaining all 108 stars and having the good ending just like I did

  • did it like a decade ago :x

  • love the song, I just hate how its so Easy to kill neclord, i mean come one, ONE TURN and he's down,

  • You know, it was actually easy because you fought that stone monster and go straight fighting neclord without rest, so it 'should' be hard, unless you trained hard.

  • Haha, I ended up walking all the way back to the town to rest after the stone monster.

  • I thought you couldn't go back after fighting the stone golem due to the slope that only allowed you to go down in the cave

  • if you have an escape talisman you can go back all the time you want

  • ~i wish i could ask higashino-sama to make the music for the ameture game i'm making

  • haha ( luca: ACT LIKE A PIG!! NOW!! )

    has any one seen movie dazed and confused.

    where ben afflick goes around making the pig sound before kicking the shit out of freshmen haha

  • This is the one part of Suikoden II that bothers me. It's like..they were in their board meeting and someone stated "Uh, anyone else think we killed Luca off too soon?..We might need to kill some time before going after Jowy, don't ya think?"

    "Hey! How we're a company that has made some kickass vampire games, lets bring Neclord back and just say you only killed his "doppelganger!"..and we can get some badass points for Viktor in the process! that should kill a couple hours"

    "Let's do it!"

  • Wrong. -.-

    You fool.

    Of course they didn't kill real Neclord. That mfcking beast could be anyones doppelganger.

    Neclord obviously survived.

  • lmfao too true, but even so, Neclord was badass

  • bright shield rune inflicts 2000+ damage and 2000+ heal in your party if you complete the 108 stars....it is stronger than dark sword rune

  • On single character.

  • dam i hated the main character... his friend lies all the way and when u have to go get the RUnes of Shield and Sword, u friend comes out of nowhere and takes the Rune of Swords or w/e it was and u are left with the defense... then at the end u kick his ass...

    bastard >:(

  • heh? jowy doesnt lie all the way, if thats what you think then you have to play it again you didnt get it at all. There s actually a true and pure friend relationship between them

    and jowy is just a tortured person. Did you even get the real ending? and btw the shield rune is far to be a shitty's one

  • The main character in Suikoden II is so cute and handsome! LOL.

  • luca: ACT LIKE A PIG!! NOW!!

  • It would've been so freaking sweet if Neclord could have joined your party. Like you would have the choice between Khan and Neclord. Choosing Neclord would unlock a set of vampire characters like Sierra. And choosing Khan would unlock mages and priests.

    Better then having to choose between the two chicks of the game.. T_T

  • KHAAAAAAAAAN!!!!

  • I bought this game right after it came out and could not stop playing :) then it got stolen...:( three copies later i finally have a safe copy under lock and key.... mesmerizing though....

  • Sweet #25. Probably top ten for me.

  • seems konami borrowed a song from the castlevania team here

  • people are still charging a arm and leg for this game, even without the game being in it original casing, this game is still holds it worth well over it original value!

    Hate rare games <_<

    ah well, i got a emulator to play it on my PC!

  • this and 'Silver Wolf' are my fav battle themes in Sui II. it has a chilling melody =D

  • a very good game,

    and a super soundtrack.

  • BEST.MUSIC.EVER!!!

    in my opinion that is ;)

  • Suikoden 2 has one of the best Soundtracks going. Apart from Star Ocean 2, I'd rate it as one of the very best.

    I need this album.

  • Higashino, we miss you so much :(

  • You made it sound like she's dead. You really scared me.
