Best Ending (WARNING: SPOILERS AHEAD)
To get the best ending, you must have all 108 characters before you talk to Shu about the Rockaxe mission. Also when you near the end of Rockaxe Castle, when Nanami jumps out to protect you from Gorudo, you must answer very quickly (doesn't matter which answer you choose). If you did this correctly, after Dr. Huan reports of her unfortunate condition, he should ask to talk to Shu in private.
Did all that? Alright, then once you've beaten the game, head back to Tenzan Path (northwest of Kyaro) and return to that place by the waterfall. Jowy's there, of course, and you'll go into a duel with him. Just keep on defending throughout it. After that, he'll ask you to take his Black Sword Rune. Keep on refusing. Once you've refused enough, Leknaat will appear. I won't spoil the rest, but those are the requirements for getting the best ending.
Early Level Up Trick
When you are spying on the Highland camp, at the end you get attacked by Highland soldiers. After you beat them, Jowy will hold them off while you run to Nanami. When you reach her, you fight more Highlands(use Bright Shield to defeat them easily). After that she asks where Jowy is. Reply ".....", and more Highlands appear. After the battle she asks you again. Keep replying "...." to fight more Highlands every time. Keep using Bright Sheild until it runs out, then use Flaming Arrows from the fire rune. After the runes run out, use Family Attack on the one with the spear and just attack the rest. (if you're not around level 20 this can be difficult) Anyway, the first couple battles should give close to 1000 experience each. Keep doing that until your levels are pretty high (or they stop giving you less than 100 experience).
Random name entry
Highlight "Determine" at the name entry screen, then press L2 + R2.
Maximum potch
Note: You must have already recruited the armor shop owner to your armies cause for this trick. Once this has been done, go to his shop. This glitch involves some simple calculations, use the following example as a guide to see how it is done. Equip one character with Dragon Armor (23,000 potch), and make sure that at least two other characters have no armor equipped, but can wear Draqon Armor. You should also have 23,000 to 30,000 potch. Talk to the armorer, go to buy, then choose to purchase Dragon Armor. When prompted to place it in the bag or to equip it, choose to equip it on the character already wearing Dragon Armor. When prompted to sell the old armor or put it in the bag, cancel the action. You should still be in buying mode for the armor. Simply purchase the two armorless characters Dragon Armor. The potch meter will reset to somewhere around 999,999.
McDohl appearance
McDohl, the Hero from Suikoden, appears in the game if you have collected all 108 characters from the first Suikoden. Load your previous Suikoden game data when prompted after starting a game. Play through the game until you have gone over to Gregminster and have met their leader. Then, go to Banner Village and talk to Ko, the boy who is dressed similarly to you. After, go over to the east side of Banner where the dock is located. There will be a man, Gremio, blocking your path (if not him, it will be Ellie). Return to Ko, and he will help you get past the man. That should lead to McDohl. McDohl and Viktor, like others, will make their second appearance in the series.
If you load data from the first Suikoden without having all 108 characters, he will be called RcDohl. But other than the name he is the same person. McDohl (or RcDohl), after returning Ko to banner village, will only join you again if you talk to him in Gregminster. If you have him leave your party afterwards, you have to go all the way back to Gregminster to ask him fight with you again.
To get McDohl in your party, you do not need all 108 characters from the first game. However, when you get him due to a text parsing error in the game, the first letter in McDohl will be the first letter of his name in the first game (for instance, my character was named Daros, so in the second game, his name is DcDohl). This has nothing to do with the number of characters.
Random Teleportation Trick
When you get Viki in your group and ask her to teleport you somewhere, once in a while she will teleport you in the wrong place. One of which is a hidden room in Radat town. Here you'll find many nice items.
Hai Yo cooking tips
Go to Lakewest in Taki's house on the wall you will find the Three Course Meal recipe. In the contests always use these foods: Ice cream, No seasoning, Tomato soup (if you have Mikumiku) and Three Course Meal and you should get a total score of 55 - 59.
Easy Luca Blight Battle
Equip the Fire Sealing Rune with the main character and when you battle Luca his fire damage will do zero.
Recruit Boris
Boris is actually Ridley's son and if you want all the stars of destiny get him when you're sleeping in Tinto, Nanami will ask you to run away and if you accept you will leave a note and the blinking mirror on Nanami's bed then leave when you get past Tinto your hero will collapse and Nanami carries you keep going then in Drakenmouth village you rest in a house then you are awakened by a noise then you go outside only to be hit by a sword and you are asked by Viktor or Shu to come back if you do go back Ridley will greet you but if you run away Shu tells the hero that Ridley died protecting Lord Hauser then Go to Tinto and you will meet Boris.
Get to Rockaxe Village in the beginning of the game
Go to the Rockaxe-Muse border and the soldiers will say they can't let you in, but push up on the door and it opens, but be prepared cause it's hard to fight the enemies if you are under level 20 when you do it. It's best to recruit Humphrey and Futch to make it easier.
