My second go with the Beast Rune was absolutely hilarious. I lose one of my healers on like turn 3 as I'm trying to take down the Rune, and just decide to see what else I can learn about the fight. Kill the rune, go after the legs until it no longer revives parts, and then go after the head.

Unfortunately, my back row guys start falling and I'm quickly running out of healing. I manage to get it down to the two heads but these AOE attacks are kinda brutal and I'm totally out of healing. Viktor, Flik and Riou slowly fall and I'm down to Humphrey vs. one head, and no healing.

Except... this head is doing some fire move that can't even scratch Humphrey. It's hitting for like 15. I pull out a single use healing item from my inventory that heals me to full (and had been sitting in my inventory since the start of the game) and put it on auto battle for about 10 rounds. I turn it off, pull out another 300 HP healing item and use it, put auto battle back on and boom, got him. Humphrey is now 10 levels above everyone else in the game. He is undoubtedly my MVP for Suikoden 2.

The game asks me if I want to escape and I go for Jowy.. but get pulled out of there anyway. Suddenly we're back in my castle and everyone is congratulating me for a job well done. They ask me if I want to lead the country and I'm left with a choice, to either agree or say that I can't. I don't want to get some kind of bad ending.. so I say that I do.

And... that's kind of it! There's no Jowy here. There's no resolution at all! Just the character roll and credits! I'm absolutely blown away by this. What the heck were we even doing here? This can't just be due to not getting all 108 stars. You can't just end the game with zero closure! What the?!

I'm either gonna need someone to set me straight here, or I'm gonna need to do a whole lot of reading on the internet tomorrow.

I'm going crazy here. Why is Leon Silverberg against me this whole game? I hope there's a post credits scene or something because if there's not, oh my god.
