Thread: Valkyrie Profile

  1. #1

    Default Valkyrie Profile

    So my only basis for playing these games is that the guy who does the music (Sakuraba of Tales, Star Ocean, Golden Sun and Baten Kaitos fame) apparently did his best work ever on these two games according to a lot of people.

    Are the gmes any good though?

    I have been wondering about how good this games are myself. I haven't seen or heard of any new games in the series so I guess it doesn't have too big a following.

    It's not like every single series needs to go on forever even if people liked the existing installments . Sometimes it's good to stop while you're still on the top.

    In either case, the game is good and the music is good and the story is also good and the gameplay is pretty unique and interesting. You should play it.

    Love both games personally. And VP2 has one of my top 5 favourite RPG battle systems too.

    Are these downloadable from Playstation Network by any chance?

    Emulate it .

    Or get the PSP version if you have a PSP. That version is much cheaper.

    Valkyrie Profile is so much fun. Emulating it is worth the headache of finding an iso and setting up ePSXe/pSX. The PSP version is nice, but there is a lot of slowdown during casting animations much like FFT which unfortunately didn't get a patch to fix.

    Everyone in the gamerverse says the first was the best. I prefer Silmeria.
    Jack: How do you know?

    Will: It's more of a feeling really.

    Jack: Well, that's not scientific. Feeling isn't knowing. Feeling is believing. If you believe it, you can't know because there's no knowing what you believe. Then again, no one should believe what they know either. Once you know anything that anything becomes unbelievable if only by virtue of the fact you now... know it. You know?

    Will: No.

    If Demolition Man were remade today

    Huxley: What's wrong? You broke contact.
    Spartan: Contact? I didn't even touch you.
    Huxley: Don't you want to make love?
    Spartan: Is that what you call this? Why don't we just do it the old-fashioned way?
    Huxley: NO!
    Spartan: Whoa! Okay, calm down.
    Huxley: Don't tell me to calm down!
    Spartan: What's gotten into you? 'Cause it sure as hell wasn't me.
    Huxley: Physical relations in the way of intercourse are no longer acceptable John Spartan.
    Spartan: What? Why the hell not?
    Huxley: It's the law, John. And for your information, the very idea that you suggested it makes me feel personally violated.
    Spartan: Wait a minute... violated? Huxley what the hell are you accusing me of here?
    Huxley: You need to leave, John.
    Spartan: But Huxley.
    Huxley: Get out!
    Moments later Spartan is arrested for "violating" Huxley.

    By the way, that's called satire. Get over it.

    I really like the first one, but I have to agree that Silmeria was still the better of the two.

    I think Silmeria is technically the better game, but there's something about the first one's visual appearance, progression of story and style of platforming I really liked. Anyway, if you're interested in getting the best (and the only good) ending for the first game, You WILL need a guide. There's a rhythm you get into while playing the game's first three chapters that it lulls you into a false sense of security and you miss the requirements for the best ending. That's what happened to me my first time through.

    As for Silmeria, I started it, and it's a phenomenal game. Definitely has a better battle system, although I prefer dungeon crawling in the first one. The soundtrack here is one of Sakuraba's best, and this is from someone who hasn't really liked any of the Tales Soundtracks after Vesperia. I'm still pretty early in the game, so I can't say much beyond that.
