From the Gamertell article, "All too often, female characters in video games are given bit parts, or designed in a manner that shows developers clearly intended them to act as eye candy. While female characters have become incredibly visible in games as time has gone by, it still can be difficult to discern characters who are really good role models for female players.
To make matters worse, when lists are compiled of strong female leads, they tend to feature the same characters over and over again. I've seen Lara Croft appear in lists at least 20 times, and frankly she doesn't always deserve the spot. Samus Aran is also a popular star in these lists. Lara's got her merits, sure, but there are stronger and more competent female characters. And Samus really hasn't had much character development - sure she's a strong bounty hunter and fights aliens, but other than that we don't know that much about her.
Here are eight female characters, many of whom are often forgotten, who should be considered role models for girl gamers. They are unique individuals in their various storylines and possess strong personalities. In order to help narrow down the field of eligible role models, the characters are all ones who appeared in role-playing (or RPG-like) games."
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:)
