40 free Suikoden II trivia questions with answers — trivia quiz, new questions added Oct 2026.
Suikoden II asks you to do something few role-playing games attempt: find and win over 108 separate characters, the Stars of Destiny, while a war between the Highland Kingdom and the City-States of Jowston tears two best friends apart. Soldiers, cooks, detectives, squirrels and old heroes from the first game all end up under one castle roof. This quiz covers the story from the opening massacre to the multiple endings, the recruits and what it takes to sign them up, the returning faces from the original Suikoden, and the people at Konami who wrote and scored the game. It is pitched at players who have finished the game at least once, with a run of gentler questions on the main plot before the deeper cuts about individual Stars. Every answer comes with a short explanation, so it works as a refresher before a replay of the HD remaster too.
