It&#8217;s really not your typical JRPG in which every new town you visit you buy new weapons and armor for your characters at the armory shop and buy item supplies at the store next to that. In this game you must craft your own items and such. My complaint is that when I am creating new weapons and armor, it does not tell me which characters can use them, nor how much their stats would increase with the items.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure data-wp-context=\"{&quot;imageId&quot;:&quot;6a0e892d86a8a&quot;}\" data-wp-interactive=\"core\/image\" data-wp-key=\"6a0e892d86a8a\" class=\"wp-block-image size-large is-resized wp-lightbox-container\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"576\" data-wp-class--hide=\"state.isContentHidden\" data-wp-class--show=\"state.isContentVisible\" data-wp-init=\"callbacks.setButtonStyles\" data-wp-on--click=\"actions.showLightbox\" data-wp-on--load=\"callbacks.setButtonStyles\" data-wp-on-window--resize=\"callbacks.setButtonStyles\" src=\"https:\/\/stevethefish.net\/stuff\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/12\/Valkyrie-Profile3-1024x576.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-1929\" style=\"width:674px;height:auto\" srcset=\"https:\/\/stevethefish.net\/stuff\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/12\/Valkyrie-Profile3-1024x576.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/stevethefish.net\/stuff\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/12\/Valkyrie-Profile3-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/stevethefish.net\/stuff\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/12\/Valkyrie-Profile3-768x432.jpg 768w, https:\/\/stevethefish.net\/stuff\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/12\/Valkyrie-Profile3-1536x864.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/stevethefish.net\/stuff\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/12\/Valkyrie-Profile3-1320x743.jpg 1320w, https:\/\/stevethefish.net\/stuff\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/12\/Valkyrie-Profile3.jpg 1920w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 767px) 89vw, (max-width: 1000px) 54vw, (max-width: 1071px) 543px, 580px\" \/><button\n\t\t\tclass=\"lightbox-trigger\"\n\t\t\ttype=\"button\"\n\t\t\taria-haspopup=\"dialog\"\n\t\t\taria-label=\"Enlarge\"\n\t\t\tdata-wp-init=\"callbacks.initTriggerButton\"\n\t\t\tdata-wp-on--click=\"actions.showLightbox\"\n\t\t\tdata-wp-style--right=\"state.imageButtonRight\"\n\t\t\tdata-wp-style--top=\"state.imageButtonTop\"\n\t\t>\n\t\t\t<svg xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" width=\"12\" height=\"12\" fill=\"none\" viewBox=\"0 0 12 12\">\n\t\t\t\t<path fill=\"#fff\" d=\"M2 0a2 2 0 0 0-2 2v2h1.5V2a.5.5 0 0 1 .5-.5h2V0H2Zm2 10.5H2a.5.5 0 0 1-.5-.5V8H0v2a2 2 0 0 0 2 2h2v-1.5ZM8 12v-1.5h2a.5.5 0 0 0 .5-.5V8H12v2a2 2 0 0 1-2 2H8Zm2-12a2 2 0 0 1 2 2v2h-1.5V2a.5.5 0 0 0-.5-.5H8V0h2Z\" \/>\n\t\t\t<\/svg>\n\t\t<\/button><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>I remember when this game first came out for the Playstation, at the end of the &#8217;90s. It was refreshing to see screenshots of this game in magazines with its pixel graphics. At that time, nearly everything had to be 3D rendered and I didn&#8217;t like that. However, Valkyrie Profile came out late in the console&#8217;s life, and not many copies of the game were made. I was unable to procure one and before long, it had become terribly expensive. When it was re-released for the PSP as Valkyrie Profile: Lenneth, I definitely bought it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure data-wp-context=\"{&quot;imageId&quot;:&quot;6a0e892d86e77&quot;}\" data-wp-interactive=\"core\/image\" data-wp-key=\"6a0e892d86e77\" class=\"wp-block-image size-large wp-lightbox-container\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"576\" data-wp-class--hide=\"state.isContentHidden\" data-wp-class--show=\"state.isContentVisible\" data-wp-init=\"callbacks.setButtonStyles\" data-wp-on--click=\"actions.showLightbox\" data-wp-on--load=\"callbacks.setButtonStyles\" data-wp-on-window--resize=\"callbacks.setButtonStyles\" src=\"https:\/\/stevethefish.net\/stuff\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/12\/Valkyrie-Profile2-1024x576.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-1928\" srcset=\"https:\/\/stevethefish.net\/stuff\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/12\/Valkyrie-Profile2-1024x576.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/stevethefish.net\/stuff\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/12\/Valkyrie-Profile2-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/stevethefish.net\/stuff\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/12\/Valkyrie-Profile2-768x432.jpg 768w, https:\/\/stevethefish.net\/stuff\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/12\/Valkyrie-Profile2-1536x864.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/stevethefish.net\/stuff\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/12\/Valkyrie-Profile2-1320x743.jpg 1320w, https:\/\/stevethefish.net\/stuff\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/12\/Valkyrie-Profile2.jpg 1920w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 767px) 89vw, (max-width: 1000px) 54vw, (max-width: 1071px) 543px, 580px\" \/><button\n\t\t\tclass=\"lightbox-trigger\"\n\t\t\ttype=\"button\"\n\t\t\taria-haspopup=\"dialog\"\n\t\t\taria-label=\"Enlarge\"\n\t\t\tdata-wp-init=\"callbacks.initTriggerButton\"\n\t\t\tdata-wp-on--click=\"actions.showLightbox\"\n\t\t\tdata-wp-style--right=\"state.imageButtonRight\"\n\t\t\tdata-wp-style--top=\"state.imageButtonTop\"\n\t\t>\n\t\t\t<svg xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" width=\"12\" height=\"12\" fill=\"none\" viewBox=\"0 0 12 12\">\n\t\t\t\t<path fill=\"#fff\" d=\"M2 0a2 2 0 0 0-2 2v2h1.5V2a.5.5 0 0 1 .5-.5h2V0H2Zm2 10.5H2a.5.5 0 0 1-.5-.5V8H0v2a2 2 0 0 0 2 2h2v-1.5ZM8 12v-1.5h2a.5.5 0 0 0 .5-.5V8H12v2a2 2 0 0 1-2 2H8Zm2-12a2 2 0 0 1 2 2v2h-1.5V2a.5.5 0 0 0-.5-.5H8V0h2Z\" \/>\n\t\t\t<\/svg>\n\t\t<\/button><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>The world in this game is rather dreary. So much death and betrayal. As Lenneth, you must collect the souls of people who&#8217;ve died and recruit them to fight creatures of darkness so that you can send them to Asgard to fight for King Odin. Lots of sad stories. &#8220;I promise you, I won&#8217;t die! After this war, I&#8217;ll return and marry you!&#8221; Sorry bud, you&#8217;re dead. Now you get to die again in Ragnarok. That sort of thing. Perfect game for this joyous holiday season.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Last week I was sick with influenza and stayed home.
