History YMMV / SuikodenII

* NightmareFuel - Millie's Groundhog Bonaparte. That is all.

* CompleteMonster - Luca Blight, Neclord.

** TierInducedScrappy: Tomo could easily be seen as this for forcing you to choose between [[EnsembleDarkhorse fan-favourites]] [[HotChickWithASword Valeria]] and [[{{Ninja}} Kasumi]], while not being all that useful herself.

* MoralEventHorizon - Luca Blight just loves pushing this BeyondTheImpossible.

* NightmareFuelUnleaded - Once again, [[http://firsthour.net/screenshots/suikoden-2/suikoden-2-luca-blight.JPG Luca Blight]], as well as the fate of the people of Muse (you even get to hear a man describe how his family was devoured in front of him).

** Because of [[http://suikodenbugfixes.wikispaces.com/Suikoden+II+Rune+Unite+Bug how the Rune Unites work]], one can place a [[MightyGlacier slower character]] in front to make the whole party cast up to ''five'' Rune Unites in one turn! In a game where mages are pretty useless late-game, this GoodBadBug sure can deal insane amounts of damage that it could compare to the [[GameBreaker Double-Beat/Double-Strike/Violence/Kindness combo]] in terms of brokenness.

In a game where mages are pretty useless late-game, this GoodBadBug sure can deal insane amounts of accumulative damage to pretty much anything that doesn't nullify the elements used in the Rune Unites.

* TheWoobie - Pilika.

* GoddamnedBats: Sirens and [=DoReMi=] elves. They sure can be taken down ''very'' easily but they can inflict a wide array of [[StandardStatusEffects nasty status effects]] if not taken out right away. For a video game series that ''doesn't'' feature a lot of GoddamnedBats, they sure annoy ''some'' players.
* GoodBadBugs - You can gain access to the Matilda Knightdom and [[SequenceBreaking recruit Futch and Humphrey early in the game]], ''and'' [[PeninsulaOfPowerLeveling level your party up to mid-30's]]. It gets really amusing when Humphrey refers to you as "Lord Riou", ''even when you're not yet the leader of the army''. And if you do recruit them ''way earlier'', it could get ''really funny'' to see the hero use the Bright Shield Rune to clear the fog at Mt. Rakutei, ''even when he has not acquired the rune yet''.

*** Well, [[JackOfAllStats average stats]] and [[DishingOutDirt high Earth magic affinity]] isn't really that bad...

* GameBreakingBug - Three pairs of Recipes share the same memory address, so if you give one part of a pair to [[IronChef Hai Yo]] before getting the other one, you may kiss HundredPercentCompletion [[LostForever goodbye]].

* GameBreakingBug - Recipes #12 and #34 share the same memory address, so if you give one of these to Hai Yo before getting the other one, HundredPercentCompletion will be LostForever.

** Recruiting [[spoiler: the main character from the first game. The Soul Eater Rune is as awesome as ever]]

*** Well, [[JackOfAllStats above average stats]] and [[DishingOutDirt high Earth magic affinity]] isn't really that bad...

* MemeticBadass - Georg Prime, but Luca Blight contests his title. [[MissedMomentOfAwesome No, they don't get to duke it out in this game at all.]]
