Codes:

Use the following instructions to enable the debug menu on an NTSC-U version of Suikoden V:

  1. If you're using a cheat device to enable the debug menu on an actual console, input the enable code below. Otherwise, skip this step.
    • 901F2550 0C07C8FC.
  2. Now, input the code to enable the debug menu for your version of the game:

Controls:

  • Press R2 + L2 then X once after to bring up the debug menu from the main menu.
  • Press L3 + R3 to bring up the debug menu during gameplay. (This only works when in towns or on the world map.)
  • If you use the debug menu to spawn in a map, you can press L1 or R1 to zoom in and out, and use the right analog stick to rotate the camera.

Using the debug menu to spawn in a map will also grant you all items and a ton of money.

To do:
Find a way to normally put "Debug Mode" in the main menu. It should be there.
