 Valkryie Profile Brilliance i think so September 16, 2007
Where to begin. As stated in other reviews. The price tag you can pick up Valkryie Profile for around 30 bucks for the psp. If you're lucky 100 for the ps 1. So price wise great move by sony bringing back a classic. Taking it to the psp means i can take it where ever I go. I've heard the gripe about long load times. I've never encountered the problem. Maybe it's their psp's or could be their copies of the game. My psp loads this game faster than my PSone did when i rented the game when it was out. I'm a fan of cinematic cutscenes. So if you're not a fan of them you're in for a bit of frustration. I noticed nice cut scenes that i thought brought alot more flavor to the game. Such as the Jelanda/Demon scene. If you're not up for detailed scenarios this game isn't for you. There is a bit of hack and slash but there's much more storylines to be had. This game is the same as Valkryie Profile for the PSone there is no additional story to Lenneth. If you haven't played it for PSone or PSP and love RPG's this is a must grab. If you have rented it or don't have it for PSone anymore i'd reccomend just picking up this for 30 bucks for your psp. Sure I love a full screen game. I loved the detail of Lenneth's special attack on a tv screen it was more detailed but i'd rather pay psp price than 100 and some bucks just for that.
my first really good rpg June 16, 2007
i spend hours playing this game on the easy, normal, and hard mode. so when i get stuck in one part and need to cool off, i just go to a different mode to hibernate.
really good graphics...although i have to complain about the fact we are not given a choice to cancel the conversations, also, it does not automatically save after each period. I made a mistake of exiting my game without saving...painful thing to do. then i had to go through the battles i already conquered.
all in all, its a very challenging and interesting game. one of the best on the psp.
p.s. i'm playing it right now (chapter 4, hard mode, Dark Tower of Xervah)

My review for Valkyrie Profile: Lenneth April 3, 2007
1 out of 1 found this review helpful
I really enjoy this game. I enjoy how the battle system is in this game. The graphics are great on the PSP. I am still in the middle of playing this game, and am enjoying it greatly. Also the plot is very enjoyable.
An original RPG that helps alleviate from the cluster of cliche titles out there! March 17, 2007
4 out of 4 found this review helpful
With so many cliche RPGs riddling the market over the past few years, Valkyrie Profile is a welcome installment in any RPG fan's library. Tri-Ace(the developers) chose to make this game something that many have strove for yet few have reached; that is original and still compelling.
To help the reader find just what they are looking for I will separate this review into 5 parts: Graphics, Storyline, Battle system, originality, and audio.
*Graphics*
The new CG sequences that have been added to VP: Lenneth are absolutely stunning. They occur quite frequently as well, and you can watch each one of them whenever you want from the main screen! The character sprites are also highly detailed as well as the environments and enemies.
*Storyline*
Valkyrie Profile's plot is a welcome entry in the genre in that it is a fresh idea. Just a summary of the game proves that point (you play as Lenneth, a valkyrie who Odin has charged with collecting the dead to become Einjeriar in the battle of Ragnarok) The entire game is working up to one moment at the end of time, and Lenneth must act quickly to collect as many souls as possible. This makes things all the more interesting by adding time limits to the game. Don't worry, there's more than enough time to do it all, you just have to be tactical in your approach. Also, with so many different characters it is usually hard to develop each one of them, i.e. Radiata Stories, but Tri-Ace does an excellent job of letting the player connect on an entirely new level with each one.
*Battle system*
VP: Lenneth also houses a unique battle system that is easy to learn, but takes the entire game to master. The effects in battle are dazzling, my personal favorite is Nibelung Valesti, and every character has a certain strength and weakness. There are also a TON of distinct weapons, armor, and accessories to bring to battle.
*Originality*
There's almost no purpose to this category if you've read the ones above it, but I feel that I must stress just how original this game is! One interesting aspect that is pulled off nicely is that the game is a side-scroller. This makes for some mind-bending puzzles throughout the entire game. There are also three different endings for the game, but the best one is almost impossible to get, and I personally had to use a guide to do it!
*Audio*
This game features an excellent soundtrack that seems to reverberate throughout your being the entire game. From fast paced dungeons to creepy hovels to war-torn towns the music is always well-done. The voice-acting is also fairly well put together as well.
And there you have it, a 5-step breakdown of the artwork that is Valkyrie Profile: Lenneth. If you get anything from this review, I hope it is the appreciation of what Tri-Ace spent so long to put together, and if love RPGs and are in need of a challenge you definitely need to pick it up for yourself!
