It's been mentioned in a number of publications, but never in the game itself.

In the Suikoden 2 108 characters guide and the Genso Suikogaiden World Guide to name a few.
All of these publications are only available in Japan though.

when you have access to Yuber in suikoden three, you can use the eightfold rune he has equipped (or more painfully if you are fighting Yuber, he can use the eightfold rune on you). Since it is the only Rune really connected with him, you can surmise that he used in Suikoden 2 when he was attacked Greenhill(supposedly he gets his summoning powers from it). However, I don't think anyone ever actually talks about the eightfold rune in any in-game dialogue.

but as i know,the power Yuber used in Suikoden III is the Eight Devil Rune,kind of a child rune derived from the Eightfold Rune itself...

It clearly says EightDEVIL not EightFOLD.

And just take one look at what the ability it has and you'd realize that it'd be the most underwhelming True Rune of all time.

Calm down Le Klueze.

Anyways...... my theory about the eight devil rune that yuber is able to use during suikoden III is that it is a child rune of the eightfold rune.

In suikoden I and II we know now that luc had the true wind rune. But in the game he was only equipped with a wind rune, which is a child rune of the true wind.

Of course...the only thing that puzzles me is why sierra is equipped with a darkness rune in II....since it is a child rune of the soul eater...interesting indeed.

it's been shown a couple times that characters rarely want to use their true runes, as it may drain more energy than a common rune.
there is nothing wrong with using other types of runes like Darkness for Sierra -- it's just their preference and/or they know how to use it well.
