Valkyrie Profile 2 for PS2 ??? (with first pic?)

That's not too good. :(

Oh on a completely different topic since there haven't been any new scans in the past 15 minutes, are you getting Rogue Galaxy?

I've considered it but I'm really not sure yet. It looks really interesting but I don't think I have the money to get it. On the other hand, I know I'll import VP2 no matter what my money situation is at the time. :D

neo, any possibility of getting more scans tonight?
almost zero chance
actually the title is supposed to be revealed at next week's Weekly Jump
usually people can get the magazine as soon as Friday only

(yes, people who take these shots are supposed to have close relationship with Jump mag,
or he is working at the printing factory)
 
You are posting full scans (with your name watermarked on it) next week neo or I'll kill you and make you my Einherjar.

Oh and new VP avatar for me in honor of VP2!
 
Awesome avatar, Alphonse. :)

neo, thanks so much for these scans and everything you do on GAF, you made my day! :D

Now, Friday isn't THAT far away...
 
About bloody time...

So this will be the story of Silmeria (the Valkyrie's secondary ego), eh? Interesting.

I suppose Tri-Ace is saving Early (the Valkyrie's tertiary, and far, far more extreme ego) for last...



I'm hoping hand painted 2D, but from that picture, it looks like 3D....



-sigh-



Please reconsider, Tri-Ace!
 
I didn't think of this until I saw it @ GameFAQS, but since this is a retelling of Silmeria's story, won't Argrim and Mystina be in the game as well?
 
Yeah, I assume they'll save Hrist for last since she's like pure evil (like everybody's favorite lizardy forum mod, Dragona :)). IIRC, all the flash back sequences in VP that involved older incarnations of Arngrim and Mystina were with Hrist and not Silmeria but I'll have to go back and play the game now (since I'm in need of a replay anyway).

Hey neo, I think this week's Famitsu has stuff on Growlanser V: Generations. Do you have scans of it?
 
I don't remember who any of these characters are :/




Glad they got the original artist(s) back to do the characters.
 
All I need to hear now is Motoi Sakuraba on board, and all is well.

EDIT: I think you're right, they were partnered with Hrist, not Silmeria.
 
Well, I think it's entirely possible to have Arngrim and Mystina involved. It seems they're closely tied to the Valkyries and you see them with Lenneth and Hrist. As I recall, Freya mentions that Arngrim has incredible skill but his personality and demeanor leave something to be desired. I assume the reason you can't send him up is because the Valkyries are the ones that can harness his awesome power (and jeez was he a powerhouse in the game) as a leader to him.
 
I'd say Sakuraba is probably a lock, I don't see why he wouldn't.

Looking forward to the next nifty arrangement for The Mission To The Deep Space (Seraphic Gate 2?).

This topic makes me tingly inside.
 
Sakuraba's been busy working on BK2, so I don't know if he'll have had time to do VPS in roughly the same period. We'll see, I guess.
 
I still can't believe this. PS2 is the best "end of generation" console ever

Man, maybe I should make a VP avatar too!

He did four fucking CDs of ToS music the same time he was scoring BK1, so I don't see how this will be any problem at all. :D

OK, make that good music then :P ToS was pretty bland compared to BK in the music department.

Ami, I'm sure the PS2 will have a killer end-of-generation, with a lot more surprises still to come. The dev time for PS2 projects is significantly longer than PS1, so there's still a lot of stuff in development that we haven't seen yet. I wouldn't be at all surprised if FF13 is on PS2, to be honest. I reckon the game's almost done already but they can't say shit because of the FF12 debacle.

then why is Sony releasing the PS3 I think they can fight 360 fine with the PS2 I mean KHII, FFXII, Rogue Galaxy, VP2, Suikoden V, Ryu Ga Gotoku, Devil Summoner, Phantasy Star Universe.... jesus.

I can't imagine many more announcements that can blow my mind, short of Vagrant Story or Chrono Cross/Trigger 2.

I mean, if God of War 2 is truly gonna be a PS2 game, you can add that to the bunch...but yeah, I'm very happy right now. Valkyrie Profile 2... I guess the NamcoXCapcom and Radiata Stories plugs were nice little nods after all!

I really doubt that, and I really hope not. Square doesn't release more than three traditional Final Fantasies per console anyway, and with the looming PS3 date (and the confirmation of the "next Final Fantasy" on it) FFXIII on PS2 seems doubtful.

I knew I was gonna miss some games totally forgot about Okami, talking about going out with a bang I said... wow.

Tourist Trophy, Rule of Rose, Black, Secret of Mana 4, Grandia III, Dirge of Cerebrus, etc ETC
 
What I like most is that the tail-end PS2 games wont look like complete and utter shit compared to next-gen games unlike the situation regarding PSOne games compared to the Dreamcast.
 
Damn, it's amazing how many of you haven't fully beaten VP1. ;)

I really hope they follow up on the huge sequel hint after the credits with Lezard and Brahms, specifically Brahms remarks about still having Silmeria as a trump card even with Lenneth becoming mother-of-all-creation or whatever her new title is(Hrist was destroyed so she's obviously not going to be around). ... but if this is completely prequel material then I'll be happy as long as it's good.

Also, Arngrim and Mystina were with Hrist in the past.
 
"Still could be PS2's best year?"

More like IS PS2's best year.

We get MGS3 Redux, which in itself is awesome. FFXII which will be incredible. Black, which looks better than most next-gen stuff, Okami, which will likely be a sleeper hit, and, or course, the deluge of RPGs.

The best, of course, being Valkyrie Profile 2. ;)

I read the spoiler tag and I don't remember anything like that I do remember the last thing you said though.

time for a replay!
 
That would be because it is a sound clip at the end of the game and if you were impatient, you would have turned off the game and never heard it.


I love crap like that.

I love crap like that.

Also I thought only one of the four divine treasures could kill a god (so Early's soul would be shattered, but not destroyed). Memory might be getting foggy though...
nah I never do that, it's just that I forgot I mean it's been what? 5 years? :P
 
Uremifasolasiututu, I think the sound clip you're referring to came only after getting the best ending.

But, I could be wrong. It's been a while.
 
Yeah, it came after the credits in the best ending. It was a total setup for a sequel. I just hope that means they have two games in the works. :lol

at least they announced one give them a break :P
 
I will be the first to admit that I need to replay VP again. As amazing as it was, I haven't touched the game in about three years. I knew the announcement of the PSP port and/or PS2 sequel would be enough to get me replay through it.

Lenneth was almost killed by Freya's protective spell on her memory. It shattered her soul and allowed Hrist to take her body. The game actually mentions her shattered remnants being about to fade away into nothingness(IIRC), but they were collected and crystallized in time... to be later reconstructed with the body remants after whacking Hrist along with the homonculus Lezard created. Valkyrie isn't exactly a top-ranking goddess as of VP1 so maybe the requirements aren't as steep.

duderz: Please use the 90x120 avatar made available in the festive avatar thread. I'd rather not change it for you. Too much work. ;)
 
Man, Dragona needs to go back to her Hrist avatar and then we need Frag back with his Lenneth avatar. Hell, everyone needs a Valkyrie Profile avatar.
 
I wonder when all these games will make their way to the US... at this rate we'll still be getting big PS2 games by the time PS3 launches...
 
Shit, looking at the pic, it seems like its 3d. I hope the gameplay didn't change.

I hated what they did to the sequel of chrono trigger when it came to that.

It's strange that even with all the next gen systems coming out next year, it still could be the PS2's best year.
Indeed. Reminds of how Super Famicom had it's own RPG frenzy in 1995/1996 alongside PlayStation/Saturn. Dragon Quest VI, Dragon Quest III Reprise, Chrono Trigger, Tenchi Sozo, Tactics Ogre, Seiken Densetsu 3, Super Mario RPG, Fuurai no Shiren, Chaos Seed, Marvelous, Star Ocean, Tales of Phantasia, Front Mission, Treasure Hunter G, Tengai Makyo Zero, Daikaijyuu Monogatari 2, Romancing SaGa 3, Estopolis Denki II, Madara Saga, Rudra No Hihou, Bokujou Monogatari, Dai-4-Ji Super Robot Taisen, Der Langrisser, Farland Story 2, Bahamut Lagoon, Ys V, Albert Odyssey 2, Dark Half, Elfaria II, Majin Tensei 2, Burning Heroes, Metal Max Returns, etc.
 
Don't forget 2000 which was a bumper crop for RPGs on the PS1: My top two, (Vagrant Story, Valykrie Profile), and there was also FF9, Chrono Cross, BOF4, Threads of Fate etc.

Smacking my lips for this VP though. Together with FF12 next year, it's gonna rock.

Yeah I hope the dungeons and platforming are still in 2D.. Wouldnt mind 3D exploration for towns though.

Dream on. More likely tri-ace is simply recycling the Radiata Stories engine for another round. Prepare for assrape. :(
