sequel, prequel, freakquel

Welcome back to the second episode of Valkyrie Profile, this time featuring the weirdest sequel ever. I mean sure, Dept Heaven has a leg up on the competition strictly speaking, but this is NOT how I'd go about following up one of the greatest PSX JRPGs. Not that I hate the thing - it's fun enough, it's cool and interesting, but it shifts the design framework in such incredible ways you have to wonder why.

Instead of bashing wherever hurts most with the big-sad-mallet every twenty minutes, Valkyrie Profile 2 opts to send the player into the wilderness to grind offscreen for 6 hours. Not always, but it happens. It's a tough nut to crack, nothing like my usual bedtime escapades, so it's a buyer-beware experience.

I pulled cutscene footage and some miscellaneous bits from around the web because multiple video files corrupted. It's a notoriously obnoxious game to get up and running well, accounting for community support, so buying a good quality PS2 copy is probably the best play. Thing's gorgeous, so, I mean, why not?
