I gotta say, if there's no after thing, the ending for Suikoden IV was weak. There's gotta be something more to it, since they basically don't tell you what happened to the hero. Even the typical Suikoden "Here's what they did after the game was over" thing didn't explain. It just ended with a ... after saying something that was nowhere near closure. I really hope there's a scene after the credits, cause the game isn't as bad as some reviews made it out to be, and I really liked the story, since the Island Nations War was mentioned in the other games.
