Spatula Posted December 7, 2005 Share Posted December 7, 2005 Dude,I don't believe. What's even harder to believe is the cheapest you can get for VP1 for PSX is about 100 USD. I still haven't gotten my hands on one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

David Hingtgen Posted December 8, 2005 Share Posted December 8, 2005 (edited) Boo. Friggin. Yah. Valkyrie Profile is the 2nd-best game ever. And music-wise, it could be #1. It is well well worth the price it commands. I am NEVER selling my copy. Every time I see 'new Tri-Ace' game my hopes rise--then fall. But now--- :) Also--I so called what it'd be about. If you get the good ending, and get all 8 flame jewels or whatever, there'll be another cut scene after the credits---and it's obvious Silmeria's story was always meant to be explored.

JB0 Posted December 8, 2005 Share Posted December 8, 2005 tri-Ace is god. And if Squeenix doesn't localize this one, and do it well, there will be hell to pay. I'm still pissed at Enix over Star Ocean: Blue Sphere. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Spatula Posted December 8, 2005 Share Posted December 8, 2005 (edited) Looks like I'll probably get the Japanese version of Valkyrie Profile 1 for PS1 Books. I'll probably only catch like 5% of whatever they're saying, but then again the voice acting is supposedly better, and it's only $40USD instead of the regular $150... but then I need a mod chip for about $140....doh.

Black Valkyrie Posted December 8, 2005 Author Share Posted December 8, 2005 (edited) Yes Valkyrie Profile is the most emotional game, more than FF7 I`ve ever played, best sound track and my best second action RPG of all time. Really love the elf forest (can`t remember the name) theme. The sad thing is that I made a stupid mistake and got the 2nd ending BTW Spatula try to find at least an english copy or let some one you know to copy it for you. Playing it in Jap isn`t worth it.

JB0 Posted December 8, 2005 Share Posted December 8, 2005 Yes Valkyrie Profile is the most emotional game, more than FF7 I`ve ever played, I can't give it this point. Even if FF7 is hard to not beat. Game Arts tweaks me emotionally. Lunar: Eternal Blue and Grandia 2 specifically. best sound track Indeed, it's great sound. tri-Ace has a great composer. Even if a lot of tunes ARE recycled from SO2(seriously, one track is even entitled "Mission to Deep Space"). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

David Hingtgen Posted December 8, 2005 Share Posted December 8, 2005 (edited) Black Valkyrie---play it again. It's not "a better ending". The ENTIRE SECOND HALF OF THE GAME is different. Hundreds if not thousands of lines of dialogue, FMV sequences, dungeons, party members, cities, sub plots, backstory, etc. If you haven't seen the good ending, you've missed half the game. The "good ending" is more like "the better, more emotional version of disc 2". With cooler music. And some insane puzzle-dungeons. (Pyramid is hell to get out of, there's a jump I swear I spent 45 mins on). But it's all fun, which is why I rank it so high---VP is just so much FUN to play, both dungeons and even levelling up. I currently have a save file that I was going for the good ending (will be the 2nd time I've seen it) but it's been so long I can't remember exactly what I've done, so I'll have to play carefully and see where I am and what's left to do.

"Weakling. I'll crush you." I never got the second ending. Just the best ending. Can you still access Seraphic gate if you have the second ending? I tried to get the worst ending but my cat shut off my PSX when when I was about to fight Freya. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David Hingtgen Posted December 9, 2005 Share Posted December 9, 2005 I believe you can still get to it, but you can't get very far in. I've never seen the worst ending either. I've got 3 saves currently: --my first play (normal, average ending) --second play (hard, good ending, Seraphic gate fully cleared) --fourth/current play (normal, going for good ending) Preferred party: Lenneth, Aelia, Jun, Yumei. If playing for the good ending, replace Yumei with Mystina. I didn't find out about the "50 hit combo damage increase" until like the third play through.

JB0 Posted December 9, 2005 Share Posted December 9, 2005 I never got the second ending. Just the best ending. Can you still access Seraphic gate if you have the second ending? Yes. If I recall, you can get the flame gems you need too, as long as you're playing hard mode. Â I tried to get the worst ending but my cat shut off my PSX when when I was about to fight Freya. More proof that cats are evil. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SpacePirateNeko Posted December 10, 2005 Share Posted December 10, 2005 (edited) Some new sketches Oh and it appears VP2 wont be the only game...

David Hingtgen Posted December 10, 2005 Share Posted December 10, 2005 Now I need a PSP... Well, that's good news for all who missed the original--presuming the PSP version comes here. Now, where's VP: Hrist? She's cooler than Silmeria. Black armor is automatically cool. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Valkyrie Hunter D Posted December 10, 2005 Share Posted December 10, 2005 (edited) Awesome news! The first game with its beautiful character designs and music, along with the addictive battles is still on my top RPGs list. I haven't played any RPGs for a looong time, but I'll have to make time for this one. And it's been ages since I played the first one, so I've forgotten most of the story elements. I do remember wondering what's up with Hrist? And why does she have an evil version of my party?

David Hingtgen Posted December 10, 2005 Share Posted December 10, 2005 IIRC that only occurs if playing the good ending version of the plot. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Valkyrie Hunter D Posted December 10, 2005 Share Posted December 10, 2005 Yeah, I don't remember the game getting too much in depth regarding Hrist and her beef with Lenneth. Dammit, I might have to end up getting a PSP after all... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Black Valkyrie Posted December 10, 2005 Author Share Posted December 10, 2005 More good news. Hmm..... I might get a PSP just for this beauty. IMO but I don`t about you guys that VP battle system the best one from all other RPG`s battle systems. PS: JBO is this your true form Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David Hingtgen Posted December 10, 2005 Share Posted December 10, 2005 (edited) I love the battle system. I *really* wish other games would copy it, ESPECIALLY those that are "you control the hero, the other 2 are AI". You'd only need 2 buttons to control the other 2 characters, and I swear my one-button control would be superior to the AI. I am surprised other Tri-Ace games haven't used it---they still make other party members AI-controlled like every other developer.

Spatula Posted December 12, 2005 Share Posted December 12, 2005 (edited) So... I just scooped up a VP game for $90 USD on Ebay. Discussing payment details with the guy now. http://cgi.ebay.ca/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewIt...AMEWN%3AIT&rd=1 At least I'll get to play the original (I hope ...in about 2 weeks maybe) before venturing to get the sequel. Personally, I think that's an okay price, versus buying a whole new PSP for $300 CDN plus the game...another $60 at least. Just to play the PSP version of the first game....a bit too much overkill now don't cha think? Plus I get to play on my TV set instead of a portable thing. I really was never into portable gaming. I prefer reading a book instead. Edited December 12, 2005 by Spatula Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Black Valkyrie Posted December 12, 2005 Author Share Posted December 12, 2005 Good luck, BTW there is a TV adaptor for PSP ! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spatula Posted December 12, 2005 Share Posted December 12, 2005 Still $300 just for a PSP doesn't quite justify me to shell it out. I'd rather put this to a PS3 or even the multitude of games I still have yet to get. VP2 for sure, then FFXII, MGS3: substance...MORE Macross Plastic kits... Man, I need a pay raise.

Black Valkyrie Posted December 12, 2005 Author Share Posted December 12, 2005 I`m also not a portable fan but I got a GBA just for a few games and I do prefer toys over video games. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David Hingtgen Posted December 13, 2005 Share Posted December 13, 2005 There's a TV adapter for PSP? Do tell me more----I've pretty much been holding off on all next-gen portables due to screen size. (RPGs NEED a bigger screen to see the menus, and VP is especially bad--it's up there with FF8 for "tiny fonts") My GBA hasn't been used in years, I play them all on my GC. There's many GBA games I own that have never even been IN a GBA. Frankly, the GB Color was about the limit IMHO for resolution/screen size.
