All New Features in Suikoden 1 & 2 HD Remaster
Auto-Battle and Double-Speed Battle Mode
The remastered versions of Suikoden 1 and Suikoden 2 introduce two new battle modes: Auto-Battle and Double-Speed Battle Mode.

On the other hand, Double-Speed Battle Mode accelerates the simulation of actions during fights, allowing for quicker battles. These features make combat less stressful, though relying on automated commands doesn't always guarantee victory.
Character Dialogue Logs
A significant addition to the Suikoden 1 & 2 HD Remaster is the dialogue log. This feature enables you to review lines of dialogue from various characters and conversations. You can revisit specific story events and dialogues, helping you keep track of crucial information throughout the game.
