"When Valkyrie Profile graced the original PlayStation, I admittedly missed out on it. Luckily, however, I managed to catch Lenneth the second time round on the PSP. Thankfully.
As a kid who grew up primarily on turn-based RPG’s, Valkyrie Profile: Lenneth was a definite breath of fresh air. Part side-scrolling dungeon crawler, part RPG, this game combined two of my passions: Norse mythology and video games. The goddess Lenneth’s purpose is to gather warriors in preparation for the end of the world, i.e. Ragnarok. As a result, she meets a diverse cast of warriors, sell swords, mystics and mages, all of whom have unique and intriguing back stories. Their voice actors, on the other hand, could use some work." - Tom Farndon
As ports go, Valkyrie Profile: Lenneth’s is textbook. A few new quality of life improvements are the defining new feature, but by and large this is the same game that was released well over a decade ago. Fortunately, this is Valkyrie Profile; that means you’re getting a classic JRPG that still feels great to play all these years later.
Obtuse ? It is older and I guess if you don’t have knowledge of older games it could seem obscure but yeah it’s a good game nonetheless.
No it has nothing to do with how old the game is. All the requirements for the good ending seem very hard to find without a guide. And the battle system itself made little sense to me back when I played the PSP version (not that I couldn't win the fights, more than I had a very strong feeling of not knowing exactly how everything worked, thus a lasting impression of playing it kind of wrong).
Valkyrie Profile: Lenneth is a port of a classic Playstation era JRPG, giving a new audience the chance to experience an iconic story.
I got it downloaded but playing some other games atm but I’ll get to it sooner than later
tri-Ace's classic RPG is back! Valkyrie Profile: Lenneth is here at last. Read on to see whether this retro RPG is worth exploring.
It wasn’t called a remake so I don’t see why he’s upset about the graphics . I’m happy I can play it on a modern console and not for it to be stuck on PSP .
It's disappointing to see a straight psp port, but the game itself is phenomenal.
Why is he complaining about the graphics? It's a straight port. Not a remake. Sure would be nice to see it have an Odin sphere/dragon's crown graphic update but the game itself is amazing and a classic. One of my favorite jrpgs ever alongside xeno gears, legend of legaia and ff7
the graphics are pretty good for how old the game actually is.
its never been stated that this is a remake. lol.
to complain about something that was never yhere is just odd
merry Christmas:)
