Valkyrie Profile on the PS1 is an amazing/legendary game/story

sadly its legacy was squandered =/

if you are interested in seeing what/why VP is/was a thing , then definitely check out the original , the subsequent sequels not so much unfortunately =[

Just wish there was a way to get it that wasnt a Rom or having to pay crazy prices.

[CY13ERPUNK]

just find a good rom/emulator ; a story is meant to be experienced

there is no honor in gatekeeping these games behind corporate greed ; ♥♥♥♥ that noise

or watch a full-playthrough on YT or somewhere else , its certainly not the same as playing the game yourself , but at least you can appreciate some of the beauty that way ; imho VP has some of the best voice acting and character development even though the project ran into financial troubles and had to drastically cut/curtail so much of itself , we will never know what could have been , but even what we got was/is masterful [especially considering the time] ; very similar situation/scenario to Xenogears in that regard

I played it back in the day, even got the best ending. Just would rather have a way to buy it again as I am just not a Tech guy anymore so getting Roms to work just isnt something I am good at anymore.

Still, play the PSP version now and then.

Sucks that they did not sell good and now people are hating on this new game as well. This series is dead now and don't expect remasters.

[SleekSick]

it is on android and iphone as app if it is ps1 valkyrie profile.

I was honestly surprised to see this on my upcoming tab on Steam today. Loved the first game and was pleasantly surprised to see a new Valkyrie Profile. I don't really keep up with games these days so I didn't know it was an action slasher thing, and yeah. That's pretty sad. :/

If they wanted to do an action game, they could have just spun up a new Parasite Eve and maybe give it a more melee focus gameplay if they want to do melee stuff. That's another series that should make a comeback.

This new game is really not as bad as you and some others thought, and that 20+ years old game is not as good as you imagine by today's standard, nostalgia can make thing "feels" better than it actually was.
I had played the first Valkyrie Profile on PS1 20 years ago, it's good game, the characters designs and story are still top notch, but the rest are already kinda outdated by today's standard, and if you or anyone want to replay the first one, you can always buy it on mobile platform, it's not like the first game is forever unavailable.

I think this new Elysium is worth trying, I've already acquired my first warrior soul, I quite enjoy the game and have lots fun with it, the music is good, the girls are pretty, NO any woke garbage, the combat is a bit stiff but still enjoyable. Sure it's not super AAA title, but I'm not regret to buy and play this game at all. Nothing remorse.

I Play original VP probably once every 2 years. It's still an amazing game and it's legacy isn't squandered at all. It's amazing and VP2 as well.

Ah, yes, but the problem is that "today's standards" are rather, to put it politely, overall ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ terrible with regard to the RPG market.

To be sure, there have certainly been some notable exceptions, but it's not a coincidence that there's been so much more demand lately for remasters of RPGs from 20+ years ago that some IP holders have deemed them worth doing.

I never managed to play the second one, but Covenant of the Plume was a really well balanced Turn based tactics game in its deathless Route A that did a great job of capturing a dark but hopeful fantasy setting. It's probably my favourite game that came out of the DS era.

Pretty much this. The biggest mistake of the devs is not giving you at least 2 Einherjar from the start. Having to play solo with Valkyrie for a bit can be dull.

Once you start unlocking skills and more importantly the auto-summons that happen at the end of certain moves, the game starts feeling far more fun to play.

It's one of those where it has a bad start, but gets better as you go.

I liked a lot the art, the writing, the atmosphere of VP Lenneth but gameplay-wise it was very time-consuming and with a lot of difficulty spikes.
I had also the DS game, it was very very well written and somewhat good but the difficulty spikes (90% of very easy fights, then a nightmare fight) and time consumption were too much

Of course however if we compare to this game, it has clearly more work and refinment. I just did not finished any (on Lenneth, I went with perfect route which was a nightmare). Sad because I purchased a PSP for VP, the pictures and premises were very attractive.
Elysium is very addictive even if it feels pretty cheap. It was clearly not a real Valkyrie Profile game from day one announcement, no real surprise there.

[kiteless 凧無し]

This franchise died many years ago, this game is just like sodomising the corpse with a rusty fishing knife

[mr_oluap]

Is this game that bad ? I like both rpg and beat them all, was wondering if i should try it
