I have mix feelings regarding this game. I never played it when it originally came out and I feel this fuels my feelings more so. I really didn't like VP. I love the battle system and trying out the different character's was loads of fun. Graphically it was impressive and is still quite impressive even today. Beyond that, I didn't care for the game. The concept was neat but I didn't care for the execution and the story felt flat to me cause of that. I feel had I played it back when it came out I would have appreciated it more.

I only kept playing cause it was a traditional Tri-Ace title which to me means it has excellent gameplay but nothing else is really noteworthy. Also, the VA work in VP is far worse than SO2's but mostly cause SO2 doesn't have as many story scenes with full voice overs. I enjoy Tri-Ace's work but VP just didn't do it for me. Though its still fun to battle Lenneth and Freya in SO3
