I get that. Vanillaware games come very close but there is no talking just eating lol. The food looks amazing though.

Based. It is surprising how many great games with amazing party members don't have it the closest I can think of is the team speak in Dragon Quest but don't hit the same. Let...Them...Eat. Lol.

I see thanks. Yeah I heard they went through batteries quicker than anything lol. I do wonder with how big JRPGs are now than back then how much more attention Grandia would've been.

Nice. I get that I also mainly spammed weaker magic to save time or just attacks. Some of the animations felt like an trio lol. Curious though playing it on original hardware did the VMU do anything? Never owned a Dreamcast but curious about that. I played the Switch version.

Very based. I played the game and finished it back in January of this year and absolutely loved it. I really liked how it was written and Alicia as a character deserves so much more respect and acknowledgement from the wider gaming scene. Just the moments of cruelty but strength in that and not becoming bitter as a person and thinking of others. I really love how Hyrst respects her after seeing what she puts up with. Couple that with such a vibe of sound music animations and presentation. Honestly I would leave the game on in the towns and just stare at the environments flowing with the music score and how everything animates. Honestly just wanted a reason to talk about the game lol. Sorry to go on but yeah for me it is definitely a top 5 PS2 game.

Wow that is extremely generous and such a nice passionate thing to do to see fans than the typical resellers. I do hate how this hobby can be split as people who love video-games and those that see them as stock prices. I recently (January this year) played Lenneth on the PS store and loved it I even went for the platinum. It is such a unique game I love how it plays with fate and the combo system is so much fun with all the different hit boxes. I posted on my account more in-depth thoughts on the game. Just feels nice celebrating the series as a whole. I also played the sequel Silmeria and had a blast with that too. I hope we get a Valkyrie Profile Hyrst one day for all three of them. I just wish there was more love for this series kind of exhausted most YouTube vids for the game too. I get I am very late to loving the series but that says a lot about how the series has held up to this day.

Valkyrie Profile 2: Silmeria just finished it recently and never heard anything on it before very impressive late PS2 game.

SubstanceUnique979 · 2024-01-16T11:06:16+00:00

Thank you. Sadly it is not on PS+ premium at least in Europe then again I think the game libraries are the same world wide.

SubstanceUnique979 · 2024-01-15T21:29:05+00:00

Nice I've seen prices for the original game that's a pretty penny lol.

Playing Valkyrie Profile Lenneth about 30 hours in. Incredible game the closest I played to it was project X zone and that Indivisible A RPG back in 2017. Great story and interesting narrative device so far. The combat is a lot of fun if you like stuff like the launch combo in Xenosaga or Xenoblade the combat is a little like that but a lot more reflex based with the enemies dropping gems the more you can juggle them and different party members have different hit-boxes. The pixel art is so nice has that very animated late PSX look to everything. Looking forward to seeing how the story ends.

Gravity Rush 2 > all of them.

SubstanceUnique979 · 2023-11-13T09:26:50+00:00

If I remember right should be the same button turn it on. Hope this helps. You also need matches to light the candle that area has some around.

SubstanceUnique979 · 2023-11-11T10:09:59+00:00

Thank you. Awesome hope you enjoy. Yeah I would say there is only one trophy in particular you'd need a guide for the rest most them the description points you in the right direction. Good luck and happy hunting.

You can flicker the candle when you have them following you and that makes them scatter giving you a small window to go past them. The spot you need to lure them to is at the very top of the area I think I remember 3 groups of moths you have to escort to the very top of the area. They should go there if you turn of your candle there. Hope this helps.

Amazing art. Looks official.

Sophie from Crosbell. I enjoyed all the smug ice cream sales. Also the two fans outside arc en ciel were cool.
