Sooooooo disappointing this was not a new Valkyrie: Profile game....

[Tentacule Un Seigneur]

I loved the original Valkyrie Profile games, and when I first saw this I was really REALLY excited....

Why? Why couldn't Square Enix have just made a new Valkyrie Profile? It would have been so cool with modern graphics and such! Would it have been too hard? I just can't understand Square Enix's thought pattern....

It is similar to what they did with the Front Mission game....

The problem is that no Valkyrie Profile game was ever ported to PC. I imagine more than 1k players would play it on launch day.

However, they can do what they want. Not even 1k players already tell that this game is bad and thats it. You cant force them to make a game the players would want.

Edit: As for Front Mission ... part 1+2+3 are already being Remake'd / ported to Switch.
( source: https://frontmissionremake.com/front-mission-3/ ) The devs of FM know that players want this, else they wouldnt have announced 3 seperate ports, more than 1/2 the FM series, already.

You can bet that >>1k players will play it on release and that this success will eventually reach a PC port, same as with many prior Remakes / exclusives that hit the Switch.

Because thats another possible path the devs could take, Remake / porting VP1+2 to PC. Its so easy to see, but you cant force this success on them. Its their license after all.

I dont want to sound too angry about it, Im just saddened that they went for this entry of all possible ones.

There was some talks for some hope for a Valkyrie Profile 3, just nothing really slated.

Oy, don't remind me how they butchered Front Mission. Here's hoping the remakes sell well on the Switch and get a PC port. I feel like there's an audience for those on PC, and MAYBE we'll see a new entry that's a return to form.

As for VP, I was also stunned after seeing the trailer and how it's "updated for modern audiences" approach fizzles once again. They never learn. Granted, I think SE gives Tri-Ace barely enough of a budget to function, so the devs could've had grander designs, much like with SO6, but they don't have the money to realize it. Instead SE is too busy dumping money into a failed FF battle royale and investment into NFTs that nobody wants.

Why do they keep ruining great JRPGs by making them ♥♥♥♥♥♥ action/slashers/button smashers... Like that's not what I'm here for when I think valkyrie series or FF...

What has me scared is it was on the Australian switch store, but was taken down. If you check the USA site it's up with a price, but if you check the Australian web page, nothing. I want my Frontmission games damn it. D:<
