Classic PS Game "Suikoden II" Had A Secret New Game Plus Mode?

PlayStation 1 may have been gone for a long time, however, the games on this console still remain. It was the era of Japanese Role-Playing Games such as "Final Fantasy" series and "Phantasy Star." However, "Suikoden II" has become one of the cult favorites ever since. Now, after 18 years, fans have found out a secret.

"Suikoden II" may have had a New Game Plus mode. It seemed like there was a dialogue that appeared when fans disassembled the game. According to a Suikosource thread, a fan of the game found out a hidden and unused dialogue on the Japanese version of "Suikoden II."

Apparently, the dialogue suggested that a New Game Plus mode may have been taken place before. The unused dialogue was linked to another secret of the game: an unused dungeon near Sajah Village where the player could go to towards the end of "Suikoden II."

Again, the dialogue has been in Japanese. It was lost in the English translation so fans have not found it until recently.

An excerpt of the dialogue showed a "Rune of Circulating Paths." Along the conversation, it will ask the player if they want to seek a new path. Although it says the "strength remains," the player will likely lose the allies they have formed and begin anew.

According to Kotaku, a famous fan theory is that when the player chooses the new path, the main character will go back to the Sindar ruins near White Deer Inn. The status and equipment of the character remains the same, but it will be a different playthrough.

There are lots of choices that could lead to different scenarios and a different ending for "Suikoden II" making fans want to play the game again. "Suikoden II" is filled with secrets such as game characters that can be recruited that can ruin the chances of getting the best ending or will have no effect on the gameplay. There's also the famous Clive sidequests that require the right timing and the right place.
