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.

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

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

[OdinsWyrd]

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.

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

[jonathanabgrall]

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.

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

[ElvenRaptor]

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

[caaltaes]

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

[nicolas-ebr]

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 <3

[MrMangaCarta]

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

[ArchsagePent]

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).

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.

[jlwest]

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?!

[Stryder]

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.

[GekidoXIII]

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