Ah the infamous bridge between the realms the Beef Roast.

Valkyrie Profile is the most underrated and ambitious JPRG ever made. The story, the battle system, the music, all superb. Anyone who loves this genre should play this game.

One of the BEST jrpg i ever played, always have a very special place in my heart.

Reminder: The game uses many actual Welsh, Icelandic and Norse pronunciations... not Marvel MCU and God of War 2018 interpretations. :) Thanks to the Patrons for voting for this one for the month of July! Let me lead with saying its hard to say Welsh names for a non-speaker, so for one in particular, it was the best take I could get (lol). I also want to say I cannot think of a better game with it sprite art detail and fluidity, Valkyrie Profile is really top-tier in that respect. At first, I didn't want to talk about all of the Einherjar, but there are only 24 and many of them are just set up, collected and that's it. It's not like its Suikoden and its over 100 mini stories to worry about. Great dungeon designs, good soundtrack and I really liked the unique battle system. I recommend this, and personally prefer the anime cutscenes of the original vs the CGI of the re-release. Next RECAPitation is: TBD

I'm still waiting for that one day when Valkyrie Profile: Hrist is announced.

In my opinion this VP was better than FF it was so well done. I have memories of spending hours and hours uncovering every secret and every branch to the story. I am gonna dig my copy out and play it again.

WE BACK BOIS!! We're getting a new Valkyrie Profile game this year along with a new Star Ocean game.

This is one of my favorite games ever, impressed you go through every single Einherjar recruitment sequence too, there's a lot of them.

This video was the exact reason why I decided to play this game on the PSP, and I can definitely say that it was an amazing experience. 1000/10.

Yes, curious that Square-Enix is just sitting on this even after the Thor movies made words like "Valkyrie" trendy.

Jesus playing this game as kid. I missed so much plot.

Strange how Argrim keeps showing up throughout the games. Also this makes me want to play valkyrie 2 as i never finished that game.

What must a man do for this guy to continue the RECAPitation on the Tales franchise. Tell me?!

OMG i love your videos, i always thought i played this games but with your narrations i fully understand their history now. Waiting for VP 2: Silmeria

This man does not miss....keep dropping the nostalgia

This is so weird. The PSP was trending on Twitter the other day, which made me think of this game, a couple of weeks ago I started rewatching a 12 year old Valkyrie Profile Let's Play, which I finished last week, and I caught an urge to play the other two games again, even though it has been over a decade since I played either one of them. I wonder if other people are feeling this weird pull to the VP series - it seems the Patrons were! I hope Square does too some day - I want more out this series (that isn't a mobile game).

A beautiful recapitulation of a great RPG, hopefully one day we'll see a Valkyrie Profile collection.

Thank you so much for this! This brings back so many fond memorie playing back then

One of my favorite games, awesome to see you do this one!

I couldn’t click fast enough! Thank you for this video. I’ve replayed this one so many times, and I always reset until I get Nanami on Chapter 2 since the Dragonbane weapon she gets just annihilates early game enemies even though it doesn’t have Great Magic. Ahhh memories.

I love these old ps one RPGs such great memories. I think it would be great to get a recapitation of the Lunar games and Alundra.

This is a delight to watch. Thank you very much for this.

I remember talk of Valkyrie Profile: Hrist some time ago, but nothing new ever since.

Anatomia was helpful. Didnt think Brahms and Arngrim had history even before VP2 happened, but certain elements in their dynamic made way more sense.

I remember reading magazines in Germany advertising this game. Jesus the nostalgia has me in tears

Third favorite game of all time. I always felt really, really bad for Celia.

Dope. You do amazing work.

This is quite an excellent story on its face, although I am wondering for myself how the gameplay works out. Your description, while serviceable in my mind's eye, makes me curious because this type of game, involving four party members that attack individually but only on your command, is simply a new experience for me. Now that I know the story (And I am impressed by a game of this age having voice actors *and* multiple endings), I definitely want to experience it for myself and see how the gameplay elements measure up, as I view it as a bold departure from the relatively standard gameplay that you see in a lot of other RPGs. Thanks very much for the RECAPitation, and I'll meet you on the next battlefield.

Once again, great job.

OH MY GOD YES. I played this game a long long time ago at my cousins house and loved it but could never remember the name of the game. Finally 18 years later i stumble across this video Thanks for helping me find it. I had given up

Thank you for this, I haven't play this game for years, and even back then I never managed to finish it, so the story really fill the gap. :D

To My side,My Noble Einherjar It shall be engraved upon your soul! Divine Assault, Nibelung Valesti! Such is your fate

My #1 favorite PS1 game! Thank you for making this!

Ya know, its always bittersweet when you cover a game I've really wanted to play. Luckily, with this game I feel like it'll still be worthwhile to go back and play it myself someday. The story was so wide and varied.. and it clearly involves a lot of emotion that you can't exactly get from a recap video. I've always heard good things about this game, so its awesome to see that it actually seems to live up to the hype.

Finally I waited sooo long for this. Thank U. So VP Silmeria next? :)

Great job thank you very much. Cant wait for the other installment

celia the faith of being alive is more tragic than death

Awesome video! Next do a video on Valkyrie Profile 2!

This is the best game ever made imo, I absolutely love this game. From time to time, I pick it up and get totally get immersed. The story, characters, battle system, secrets, sprites and everything else is just amazing.

Thank you for the video. It was a nice recap after playing Valkyrie Elysium :)

Great video about a fantastic game! Thank you!

The art and the story were so good.

Man the story to this game is way darker than a was expecting, it definitely has me interested in the series though.

@Oni Black Mage Your videos are always great.

Absolutely loved this game and I forgot just how amazing the story was. Where I did not get my tattoo for the love of this game (got it due to my military experience), the Valkyrie tattoo on my back is based on Lenneth's Valkyrie form.

Thanks for clarifying everything, i accidentally messed up the part on lezard's tower and couldnt find him, so it changes the whole story (if i am not mistaken)and makes the game end up killing Surt. I am glad i played this even in 2022 cause it was such a great experience!

Good God I miss these kind of RPGS absolutely awesome!! Even when the PS2 was released I was still playing this game so much

I never got to play this game when it came out, this video helped me alot.

What's with these old rpgs? The worlds, the stories, the sets and the characters all tell this really amazing story. Dark, sad, you name it, it all feels like going on a massive adventure, from a humble beginning to saving the world... Nowadays I just don't feel it. I'm talking Octopath and Bravely Default. There's a "safe" feeling to those games as if every plot "set" needs to fit a specific mold or trope. It might be the visuals, how fights are more "spectacular" straight away. But then, in Valkyrie Profile, the fights are a spectacle from the start. It's just this really strange feeling.

One of the few games I have played 5 times happily. It's like revisiting a favorite book.

The good ending ! Many have missed this ending , when you play the game only 1 time you get generally the bad one. There are many conditions to unlock as having a low seal value , send lucian in valhalla , and to go where platina dies at the good act. Also there the end game dungeons where you will pass most of the time. For perserverants , if you kill the iseria queen 10 times you get angel slayer , do it 2 more times to get 2 extra swords for 2 other swordsman. This sword has 20K atk but have a awful trust, but still OP. Coupled with guts and revival (angel curio) and you are near inmortal

There’s so much content, you’d think this would be an anime series

I never got to finish this when I played it as a kid. Hope they make remaster of this

One of the best and underrated JRPGs ever made. I miss playing games like this.

Fantastic video !!!!! Ya kinda missed something at 20:21 "And then they went through an Egyptian catacomb to fight a CHEAP HIGH LV SPELL CASTING FULL HP RECOVERING on critical state FKING MUMMY!" Hahahahaha god that hard mode boss was a real pain in the ass. Woulda loved to hear your opinions on the seraphic gate hahahha like an odd bonus : "And the party ventured to POST LEVEL SUPER DUNGEON to fight 2 Star Ocean bosses while recruiting Lezard, Brahms and fking chun li...erm...Freya" lol stay awesome ! cant wait for whatchu got next!

The story of jrpg always kept me coming back for more. Sadly, I didn't finished this one since back then, my PS1 died. Now I know the full story and have my closure.

This Rpg is a masterpiece. The story is full of beauty and sadness

You should absolutely cover The Darkness 1 and 2

I remember seeing this game for sale at a local GameStop back in 2004 for about $90 or so. I never played the game until the PSP port. A very good RPG.

I absolutely adore this gem of a game. This is where I learned Norse mythology and my love for lezard, guys a badass

My most favorite game of all time! I hope that the movie industry will make a movie out of this game.

wow i had no idea how deep this game really is, i have it on psp but i didn't play it much, but after seeing this i'll have to play it fully

Fun game. AMAZING soundtrack.

Yooo can’t wait to play this again this year

Does anyone else tear up at Yumei's story?

a recap from the first suikoden would be very nice too

I always loved the graphics of this game; it still looks aesthetically pleasing today

I never undestood HOW Lenneth was able to turn the tides at the end. Having all the expidisions explained really helped to dexine how this was achived. Thank you for this episode.

This game is one of a kind feelings roller-coaster

Some Devine level explanation

This game is getting remastered once Valkyrie Elysium releases later this year. The story sounds good; I'll play it some time after re-release.

Thanks for this

wow. what a story. poor celia

I'm glad people actually remember this

ooh if they can release this on Switch. please do so please! I love the music and the characters so much, i would kill to play this again!

Omg this is easily my 2nd fav game of all time.

Geez, this is the secret ending, I think I'm gonna play this again when my new Raspberry arrives.

would be the best if theres recap continuation Valkyrie Profile 2....

Do Silmeria asap please!

Tbh this game was a bit confusing for me, still absolutely loved it even though I didn't get to finish it because I was annoyed at my weapons breaking. Thank you for this.

this was the first real JRPG I ever played. 10/10 game

i remember playing on the psp during high school, i never got to finish the game back then

This game is ssssoooooo good i bought it on my phone. It was overpriced but i love the story and .mechanics. seriously recommend

Maybe golden sun series would be an awesome recap.

Do you have a discord? You and I have to talk. I never knew this story in particular but thoroughly enjoyed this video and knew what was to come following the pattern I will state in simple terms. Valkyrie was Fix it Felix and Loki was Wreck it Ralph. The numbers are their rank. 3 Destroy 1 Create

28:30 Lezard Valeth This game's Aleister the Invoker

Replaying Wild ARMS on an emulator, would you wait until I finish it before you Recap it?

This game was sublime.

I fucking LOVE this game. I hope to GOD I can play this on the PS5.

I still remember Arngrim's name in the Japanese version is Aluze? (アリューゼ).

Yooo let's go what a good series, with the creators reappearing, maybe we get the fucking 2 remaster ._.

Prepare to pay an arm and leg for a physical copy now 😭😭😭😭 So chronologically, it would be: Covenant of the plume (accursed one in Japan), Silmeria, and then Valkyrie profile; correct?

nothing like finding out I've missed half the game even though I've "beaten" it multiple times.

Hell yes i cant wait to watch this

What a recap. Will you be doing more VP vids?

I hope that one day the less well know science adventure games like chaos;child and robotics;notes will get their own episodes.

It's accurate right down to the naughty bits.

Barbarossa taught me that no matter how much actin this game had, proper strategy was always there to be used to achieve victory. Never had I expected to use two mages with some lame magic I never used before to win in five turns with all the finishers possible, before Barbarossa himself casted great magic, crushing my probably underleveled team.

There's a reason why this game costs over 300$. It's that bloody good.

I've only played the 2nd one. Now after watching this video lezard part in the prequel makes sense. Does this timeline becomes obsolete cause of the prequels ending?
