Valkyrie Profile

"...distribute CP (character points) gained in battle to innate abilities... Points can also be assigned to improve personality traits... undermined by the game's peculiar handling of scenario choice and the passage of time... nonlinear... Visually...offers much to enjoy..."

"...strikingly original... There isn't a plot to push you from destination to destination... divided into eight Chapters, each composed of 24 Periods... Managing the development of a party...is an extremely tall order... very strong combat system..."

"The current trend we see in RPGs of today is more of a grand-scale production with visuals being a major part in attracting someone into the new world to explore. With Valkyrie Profile, you are quick to realize that this game is far from being a part of the crowd."

"It's rare that I find myself having a lot of fun while playing an RPG, but the gameplay in this one was undoubtedly excellent. It's a shame the difficulty level was whack at times, but that's the only serious fault in this otherwise great game. It will take a lot of effort and money to obtain this rare game, though I doubt many will be disappointed."
