    Valkyrie Profile is such an iconic and beloved game. So much so, our D&D group has been working through a campaign loosely based on Valkyrie Profile. The DM is Lenneth and the rest of us are her einherjar.

    For sure dude. And she isn’t sexualized at all, and she doesn’t don ridiculous skimpy “armor” that just barely covers the boobs with a g-string and heels, like all the freakin Japanese rpgs and animes do (especially back in during the time this game came out, that’s when it started becoming a mainstream thing to have half naked anime girls bouncing around). So kudos to the devs and creator for actually making a legitimate warrior woman who’s totally believable as a Valkyrie.

Jeremy also translated Silent Hill 2 and 3, Dragon Warrior 7, Metal Gear Solid, Snatcher, Suikoden 2, and many more. He's the best in the business! #-1: The game was designed by Masaki Norimoto. #-2: Valkyrie Profile sold only 73,000 copies in NA. #-3: Valkyrie Profile was tri-Ace's 3rd game, following Star Ocean and Star Ocean 2. #-4: Both VP1 and VP2 had Japan exclusive collector's editions. #-5: several of the VP1 voice actors came from the Pokemon anime. #-6: VP1 is my favorite game of all time.

I didn't get very far, as in early chapter 1 or so. I don't know what became of their copy of the game. I just know I've played it and recall some of the themes, like the theme that often plays when someone dies or has their soul called, like Princess Jelanda and the overworld theme.

    Sad thing is all of the Tri-Ace properties are trademarks of their respective publisher. They have absolutely little to no intellectual property whatsoever to call their own, and since "Valkyrie Profile" and, "Star Ocean" are owned trademarks of Square-Enix (and Exist-Archive is owned by Spike-Chunsoft), Tri-Ace has their hands tied. They can't independently develop new entries into these franchises without Square-Enix budgeting the financial resources and drawing up the contract ...

Back then when I was a kid I'm not into storylines and game plot so I got bored in the first hour of the game coz of the lenghty script BUT when I got to the scene where I have Freya in my party got her into throwing Ether Stike a whoopping 11K damage and She's only Lv2. I jumped on my bed and said SERIOUSLY? a bloodrush came to me and got hooked into VP eversince and the rest is history. I hope they continue this awesome franchise not in Mobile game.

I personally love the games in spite of their punishing difficulty but I can imagine that many might find the game hard to engage with at first. Even Covenant of the Plume technically requires multiple playthroughs to get the best out of it. One day, the weird soul will be purified and we'll get a sequel where Hrist gets her time to shine.

I've never touched the original (for obvious reasons) but the PSP port and the two following titles. Did they really change every voice actor except Lenneth? I didn't knew that. I don't remember the PSP port's voice acting being that bad. I always thought VP2 was a sequel because of that device inside Dipan castle. Isn't it the same as Lezard used in the first game? You should make that spoiler-heavy video explaining the connection between those two. It would be interesting to find out what I missed there (or have forgotten)

    So many PS1 era JRPGs (and games in general tbh) will never be experienced by a new generation of gamers because publishers refuse to re-release them in an accessible way. Emulation is becoming less trustworthy since Nintendo and other companies declared war on the practice, meanwhile, games like Valkyrie Profile continue to skyrocket in price, making them nearly impossible to play unless you spend an entire paycheck or two. Once the PS3 stops supporting their digital store, even more JRPG classics like Suikoden II, Vagrant Story, and Xenogears will be lost as well. It’s genuinely sad.

    Covenant Of The Plume being before Valkyrie Profile 2 doesn't make any sense to me. If Covenant Of The Plume took place before Valkyrie Profile 2, the einherjar in Valkyrie Profile 2 would have been there, Dipan would have intervened and Artolia wouldn't be a massive nation. There is lore in Valkyrie Profile 2 that shows what happened prior to Covenant Of The Plume and it had nothing to do with the events of Covenant Of The Plume. It was all about the founding of Villnore and the war of Camille Hill, none of which had anything to do with Artolia. In fact it's because of Covenant Of The Plume that Artolia is in the state it is in during the first Valkyrie Profile. Either the writers of Covenant Of The Plume messed up or the sources messed up. Wouldn't be the first time since Anatomia did the same thing, the whole 3 valkyries being the same person was changed to Lenneth being the only Valkyrie.

    Speaking of Megan Hollingshead/Lenneth's CV: In Valkyrie Elysium, during the opening cutscene that is narrated, in the original Japanese, it was voiced by Lenneth's Japanese CV. Either they just wanted someone who could do a better British-sounding voice, or it was just a missed opportunity, they didn't add Megan's voice as Narrator for the English Dub of Elysium.

    There's quite a bit of censorship in the English version, like in the tutorial when the agent went to the bar to hire Badrach, she gets him a glass of beer in the Japanese version. Lezard's teleportation symbol was changed from a pentagram into a circle, obviously to avoid any satanic reference Frei and Freya's name reversal was kind of dumb, but it was even more stupid that the localization team didn't catch it and corrected it. It became obvious that they merely translated the typo without doing any research to see if the naming is correct, as if they're saying: Our job is just to translate, not to make any changes, even if it's based on incorrect information that we could have corrected Adding easy and normal actually had the opposite effect. Not only is hard mode actually easy in the long run, but it also had hard mode exclusive dungeons. Thus, most players would never get to see the easy and normal dungeons if they seek the full experience that only hard can provide

    9:55 nice speech, except for the fact that easy and normal are actually harder than hard mode. sure you don't need to grind levels but without all the divine weapons, items, extra dungeons, odin rewards, and custom skill sets its actually harder to play on the lower difficulties while getting less story. I would just recommend everyone to play on hard mode with a guide as its the best way to play the game, you also get to finish the post game.

    What I would call hard in Hard mode is that the dungeons are very annoying. And also it doesn't even have that Black Dream Tower with that cool music theme. That is why I prefer Normal mode. The only things that I hate to miss from hard mode are the battles vs Genieve and Akethamen. Aside of that, I like Normal mode more. About Lyseria, I prefer Mystina over her for completely, so for me it is not a great loss.
