The Radiata Stories engine is really nice.

The Radiata Stories engine is really nice.

Yes, it is. And most of the game was basically 2.5D. Seems like it would be a great foundation for a new VP game, they just need to add jumping.

 

[Duderz]

And make the engine run faster. Radiata Stories is a pretty slow paced game compared to Valkyrie Profile.

Then again, that'll probably get lost in the transition to 3D.

 

[Matlock]

I don't understand why they'd make a sequel to Valkyrie Profile, but here I guess they will.

Just hope it's good, at least.

 

[Duderz]

Prequel, duder.

 

[Dragona Akehi]

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.

Ask and ye shall receive. Been meaning to do it for awhile. Though I don't know if I like this one or my original Hrist avatar better...

edit: eh classic is better.

 

[jman2050]

This will be mine.

 

[CamHostage]

Still no confirmation, eh?

Awesome, we just need a Lenneth now although I should probably do a Lenneth since i use that name for all the MMOs I play. :lol

 

[Tamanon]

Square_Enix loves us, they truly do.

 

[Gruco]

Well, this is good news.

It sounds like they're following up on the ending to the first

Spoiler

Brahms and Silmeria heading into Nifelhiem, where the queen lady there was supposed to be ready to make here move....I always kinda hoped that Brahms would be the main character if there was ever a sequel (Vampire Profile!)

Biggest hopes for sequel -

No more Guts and Auto item. Expand on the skill system a bit...
Make the mage characters a little more interesting....


And of course keep the, crazy multiple endings that bring together all sorts of stray plotlines, the multiple difficulty modes with unique dungeons in each one, and materialization points and the slick artwork and VALKYRIE PROFILE ROCKS.

 

[Uremifasolasiututut]

Of course! Who needs auto item?? It's not like Iseria Queen can kill an/all einherjar several times over with just one attack!!! That's just plain nutty!



Unless.......

Cosmic Spear!





Spear goes up, einherjar go down.

*sigh*

 

[Gruco]

Meh, remember taking on Bloodbane without using Guts or auto-item just to prove that it could be done....never bother trying it with the Iseria Queen. Probably impossible.

Not the point though. It limited what should have been more depth and variety in the skill system. Depending on the situation, it was either broken, or absolutely necessary. There should have been more room to mess around.

 

[Tarazet]

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...

Valkyrie Profile shipped in August 2000, right before the PS2 launch.

Err, I really don't see the connection as to how Auto-item limited depth and variety in the skill system. Sure Guts and Auto-item together was pretty much invincibility but it didn't affect the other skills in the game.

 

[Uremifasolasiututut]

Yeah I know what you mean Gruco. To tell you the truth I didn't use auto-item or guts either, only to get past Gabriel Celeste and Iseria Queen, simply because they are a couple of cheap bastards whose attacks are so ridiculously beyond reason and exist only to give you the feeling akin to having your nuts slammed repeatedly in a car door.



Otherwise everything is good.





....




End.

 

[Gruco]

Yeah, Shouta, I probably should have said "balance" instead of "depth and variety."

Though more depth and variety is always appreciated!

 

[Hitokage]

It might have been more interesting if Guts was an Aesir-only skill.

... at this rate we'll still be getting big PS2 games by the time PS3 launches...

Which would be expected, since it will take PS3 at least a year or two to reach as big of an audience as the PS2.

[Duderz]

Oh beautiful.

EDIT: System looks the same, at least the HUD does.

Thanks neo!

 

[anotherworld]

WOW

 

[HomerSimpson-Man]

HOT!!

 

[Systems_id]

I'd swear those bushes were hand-drawn. Looks fantastic.

 

[Error]

oh shi....

 

[Mashing]

*changes pants*

 

[Duderz]

These are all old...

 

[jett]

This game looks insane.
