News: Konami has finally released the game a lot of their fans have been wanting for years and it is available to download on the PlayStation Network.

Suikoden II is now available on the PlayStation Network which means that, finally, you can play both the original and the sequel without having to pay a really high cost on sites like eBay or wherever else the physical copies of the games are being sold. Suikoden II (just like the original) is a part of the “PS One Classic” games collection.

Originally released in North America in 1999, the RPG featured a rich plotline with a large cast of characters. The combat consists of up to six in a single party, and features a dynamic battle style where multiple team members or enemies can attack simultaneously. The game also offers players a unique magic rune and skills system that encourages players to perform combat moves with strategy in mind.

“We have heard our fans and found the perfect opportunity to bring the game to life again, as part of the PS one Classic collection,” said Tomohiro Uesugi, President of Konami Digital Entertainment, Inc. “We are sure that players will enjoy this chance to replay, or play for the first time, one of our most beloved titles.”

The story centers on an orphan Hero with friend Jowy and his orphan sister, Nanami. These three are found in the middle of a war between the Highland Kingdom and the City States. The team embarks on a journey that questions their preconceptions of life, society and war as they gather the 108 stars of destiny (characters), who will help them on their quest. With potentially life-and-death decisions that need to be made by the user, the game’s story takes twists and turns and develops based on the decisions made.

The game is now available on PSN for $9.99 and you can play it either on your PlayStation 3 or your PlayStation Vita. The original Suikoden is available for $5.99 and can be played on your PS3, PS Vita or PSP. Will you be downloading Suikoden II now that it is available? Tell us what you think below.
