VALKYRIE PROFILE: LENNETH Reviews

Awesome port of an awesome game

Panthera3000

Squeenix keeps surprising me with their mobile releases. First Romancing Saga 2 and now this? I’m extremely excited for whatever’s coming next! Anyway this is an amazing port that runs flawlessly, I haven’t encountered a single problem yet and I’ve logged 20+ hours. Controls are silky smooth and the fact that you can save anywhere really makes the difference on mobile. All in all a must-have if you’re even remotely interested (which you probably are since you read this review)

At long last....if you can tolerate the constant crashing

Fantastic port of one of my favorite vintage rpgs. However the repeated crashing nearly every dungeon is ridiculous. The original title only allowed for saving at save spots, thankfully you can save whenever but the game crashes so frequently on a game that’s pretty unforgiving on jumps and certain bosses, and confusing maps like lezards tower, having it crash multiple times after a 15 min delay to finally fight Loki and twice before when I was finally beating bloodbane is beyond frustrating. And please add an update where you can skip things like the storyline and movies leading up to fight Loki. Don’t want to spend an hour of my life rewatching this just for the game to crash again. Square could have done a much better job of debugging this one, hopefully in an update.

Game broken due to controls.

So far I’ve been loving this game; it has a nice story, plenty of gameplay, and plenty of items to collect. The main downside is the controls make some areas either impossible or at least frustrating. The d-pad needs a setting that locks it in place so you don’t move your character randomly because your thumb lifted for a brief moment. Also the last area with the fires of purgatory is pretty much impossible without controller support since as soon as you finish a battle it takes about 1-3 seconds before it lets you move making you run out of time no matter what you do. If they fixed that, then it would be a 5 star game. Not counting on it.

Fantastic! ?

Just like I remembered and more! They did almost a prefect port here- there are a few stages that hit you hard with mega lag- and the virtual joy pad is brutal on some occasions that call for precise executions- other then that the add on’s are sweet for an extra boost in gameplay

At long last!!! Thank you Square Enix!

This is one of my all time favorite rpgs that didn’t get enough attention.i lost my psp years ago with my Valkyrie profile game and never got the chance to order because I didn’t want to buy a psp again. The graphics are just about what you expect. The soundtrack is still amazing as ever. The only downside I really see but is no problem to me is the controls. It’s not impossible to play and beat the game with it. Just I feel like a dpad would have been better than a virtual joystick and maybe mifi support. The menus are changed a little from the psp version but still manageable. Also to those who are concerned with the in app purchases. There is nothing like loot boxes in here. Those in app purchases are only if you want to make the game easier for your self and give you permanent double exp half cost on matrialzation and double damage. There buy once and receive and you definitely don’t need none of that if you just want to play the game normally. For the price it’s at and what you get I honk this a pretty well done iOS version of the game! I hope one day I can see Valkyrie profile Anatomia come to U.S. or a Valkyrie profile 3.

Console Release Pls

This game is extremely underrated. Love this game, so glad I can finally play it again.

Review for original

Valkyrie Profile: Lenneth is my all time favorite game. I haven’t played this version yet but if it captures even a bit of it, it’s worth the price for any jrpg fan.

tri-ace’s Legendary Masterpiece Has Returned!

Valkyrie Profile. The name evokes nostalgia in many a gamer who played it. It went from a little known game to cult classic in a little under a decade. This review not only will praise the game, but reveal some tidbits you may not know. The dev studio tri-Ace has quite a history. The core of it is made up of former staffers of Wolf Team; if you don’t know the name, their resume of such old school cult hits as Valis: The Fantasm Soldier, Final Zone, Sol-Deace, Star Ocean, and Tales of Phantasia (yes, THAT Tales of Phantasia as in the long running Tales series!!) speaks entirely for itself. Now as far as the game goes, after its initial run in the PS1 era word of its outstanding quality spread and it became a sleeper hit of Disgaean proportions. I myself once encountered a used copy at GameStop selling for a whopping $149.99! Once PS1 game production ceased, its value on the secondary market ballooned...and it was only accessible to those willing to fork over absurd amounts of money. Then we got the PSP remake VP Lenneth. While it did change some things (new CGI movies in place of the excellent anime scenes and the loss of the OG VAs after they got famous on Pokémon), the core game itself didn’t change and was made accessible at an affordable price. Eventually, like with all consoles, even the venerable PSP, the little JRPG Engine that could, went the way of the dodo and Lenneth was lost to the gaming world once more....until NOW. Square Enix certainly knows Valkyrie Profile is a gold mine. The fandom for the game and it’s sister series Star Ocean (HINT HINT SQUENIX!!!) is well established and tri-Ace is one of their best dev teams. So after the JP only Valkyrie Anatomia didn’t make it to the overseas market, where most fans are, it seems Square Enix realized fans wanted a proper VP on iPhone and Android. And what better than the classic original? The gameplay is top notch as always. The game version we got is the PSP remaster so it was made for portable gaming. Even if the sprites look pixelated it is only part of the game’s charm. The combo based battle system returns as well, along with all the Great Magic, Ougi (Finishing Strikes) and Shingi (Divine Assaults) fans love. The music bears special mention. Motoi Sakuraba is in top form and this game has some gems. From the battle theme “Unfinished God Syndrome” to the boss tune “Confidence in the domination”, there are many classic earworms to rival even Final Fantasy. Now to the only sticking point some people have: the IAP. We get both the usual cheats labeled as boosters, and an instant unlock of the collection. I would recommend buying the collection items at least, as the multiple endings in the game may make it hard to get EVERYTHING without consulting a FAQ. And a hint folks: contrary to what they say on the tin, Hard Mode is actually the Mode you’re meant to play on! Overall this game is a perfect love letter to the fans. It may be $17 but compared to finding an OG copy on eBay, it’s a bargain! A full five out of five stars! In closing, Square Enix I’d advise you to port Star Ocean 1 and 2 next. Fans want those games big time and not giving overseas fans them on the PS4 or Vita only makes them hungry for more.

Wonderful!

I’ve only recently heard of this game, when it came to the Japanese App Store. So, I instantly got it when it hit the US store. It’s beautifully done, wonderfully ported to touch controls, sounds great, and has a deep story to tell. I loved the very long intro to the story. Can’t wait to continue!
