Games give new life to the philosopher’s stone

Michibiku's Jenni Lada writes, "The myth of the philosopher’s stone has often been used as a plot device in media. People are introduced to this legendary object capable of extraordinary things through alchemy, may spend most of the game attempting to learn more about it or acquire it, and have peripheral encounters with it. While most forms of media focus on its ability to grant immortality, resurrect the dead, and transmute metals into gold, many Japanese games choose to focus on its ability to create new, artificial life."

Valkyrie Profile: Lenneth (PS5) Review - CGMagazine

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.

Way too obtuse for my taste.

jznrpg488d ago

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.

Pedrof488d ago

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).

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.

lucian229495d ago

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

gold_drake495d ago

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:)
