A demo of Suikoden II was packaged with select [[Konami]] releases in both Japan and overseas. In Japan, the Suikoden II demo would be released with Metal Gear Solid on September 3, 1998. Overseas, it would packaged with Vandal Hearts II, which was released on November 30, 1999 in North America, and June 30, 2000 in Europe. Only the Japanese version of the demo was available before the full release of Suikoden II in its respective territory.

The demo came with two selections; New Game (also referred to as 'Story Mode') and Battle Mode. Story Mode is merely a full gameplay slice of Suikoden II, from the beginning of the game until the boss battle against the [[Mist Shade]] on [[North Sparrow Pass]]. After naming the [[Hero (Suikoden II)|main character]] there is no option to import [[Suikoden]] data. As the demo was released ~~oversea~~ virtually concurrently with the full game, the English language localization is identical to the full game.

The demo was described as a "Demo" on packaging and in its manual but as a "Trial Version" in the game itself.

Battle Mode takes placed on a slightly edited North Sparrow Pass, now titled "Trial Road". In Battle Mode, the player is able to form a custom party from 16 different characters (including the hero, now named "Suikoden"), most of which are not available in the Story Mode, with varied equipment and runes. A runemaster and item vendor are available on the pass and the random encounters feature different enemies from the full game.
