Man, *Valkyrie Profile* on PSX was something special. The story pulled me in with its dark, emotional take on the way you recruited fallen warriors and their tragic deaths. The combat was addicting—timing those combos just right was so satisfying. And the music? Pure magic. Even after all these years, I still remember how epic it felt to unlock the true ending.
I first played valkyrie profile in Japanese without understanding a single word and I had to wait like 6 months for the English version to be released but this game captivated me from the very beginning, not only for the story but for the graphics and the soundtrack is delightful.
It's a dark but interesting story full of mystery and deep topics. It's visually unique and the soundtrack is amazing. Battles, exploration and rpg mechanics are a delight.
Esse jogo portado para o PC com conquistas para platinar o jogo com todos os finais, vai ser coisa linda de se ver!!!
This game ported to PC with achievements to platinum the game with all endings, it will be a beautiful thing to see!!!
Omg, just thought about this game and remembered the GoG dream list thing and I had to come to give my vote, sadly there are not even 1k votes but still I'm here waiting for a miracle.
This is the best Valkyrie Profile game, perfect OST and story with more than one ending, didn't have the chance to play it on PSX but I was able to do it on PSP! Valkyrie Profile is there along with Chrono Trigger as my fav RPGs.
One of the first RPG I played and still listen the battle song today, the gameplay is great and the the history of each character has they moment, saddly I never finished and I want my legal runback
Extremely underrated, very fun and unique type of combat and a serious story. This beautiful game, forgotten in history thanks to PS hoarding greed deserves a PC port.
This game has shaped my tastes in media. I remember Easy mode being deceptively harder than the actual Hard mode. The true ending was notoriously hard to figure out because of seemingly arbitrary conditions. There's no way someone will figure that out on their first run.
Didn't have much internet access back then so I barely had guidance on what to do. I ended up doing something silly like sinking a few hours trying to defeat Freya in Ending C just to find out what happens. (it still proceeds to a GAME OVER screen)
Hearing the 4kids! Pokemon English cast in this game blew my mind as a kid.
PS: I need people to stop voting the inferior PSP version of this game thank you.
Valkyrie Profile from Triace is a classic rpg that captures the grim tone of Norse Mythology. Mapping each button to a army unit was a interesting idea along with platforming and puzzles.
There is even opitional characters even Villians can be used late game. Nibelung Valesti!
It's unapologetically dark. Playing it as a depressed angsty teen after spending time with pokemon and final fantasy, the world and people portrayed by the game made me feel understood, while at the same time giving me hope that things aren't quite as bad as i presume. The soundtrack was varied and recognizably characteristic, the art beautiful, the mix between platforming sidescroller and rpg round based combat fun and engaging. The massive cast, each having their own story of dramatic demise pulled at my heartstrings and made me care for all the characters, even if i had to train them and send them away to reside as recruits in valhalla. It is a visual, gameplay, narrative, musical masterpiece and few games can hold a candle to it. Understandably, something so niche and well polished was not well received by the frothing masses and the series remained on the sidelines, even after they cut away all the dark and leaned into simplicity action with VP2 , and even more so when they sheared away everything about the title in the recent VP3, leaving only a generic hack n slasher. Catering to the simplistic sensibilities of the average mind is why we can't have good things.

FreelancerEight hundred years prior to the start of our story, bitter conflict divided all of mankind. A handful of colonists struck out on their own to begin anew - far away from the Earth and its turmoil. Several ships were launched with enough equipment and supplies to give the hundreds onboard a fighting chance - but since the area around far-off Sirius had never been surveyed, no one really knew what to expect. What they found was a new frontier of free-flowing natural resources, unexplored territories, great wonders and lurking dangers. Each ship, representing the clusters of people and their earthly place of origin, settled into different parts of the galaxy pre-selected by their ship-board computer to give them the best chance of survival.
Life was hard in the beginning, but over the 800 years the different colonies prospered and expanded their territories, claiming more and more systems for their own. Survival and propagation eventually led to growth and profit as each of the colonies developed specialties and fostered commerce. As the colonies grew and time passed their connections with their roots on Earth dwindled and they lost their memories of the conflicts of the past. Soon their attention was dominated by new, more immediate conflicts. Feelings of lost ancestral connection spurred anachronism in the look of the great cities, and created a somewhat distorted image of each colony's cultural heritage. In the ever-expanding outer edge of the territories, frontier lawlessness prevailed.
The Houses: Each shipboard colony that left Earth carried some memory of its origins in its name. The Liberty carried Americans, The Bretonia flew from The United Kingdom and surrounding territory, The Kusari from Asia, and the Rheinland launched with Germanic cargo.
As each ship settled and colonies began to expand, they knew little about each other and their advancing development. Finally, little by little, the individual colonies found each other and began to set up trade routes to link their systems for commerce and solidarity.
Today, with each colony firmly rooted in its respective corner of the galaxy, the colonies rely heavily on each other for trade and industry but also compete for resources and new territories in the Border Worlds. The colonies mandate member governments in "The New Alliance" within the Sirius sector. To control conflicts, each colony has forged alliances and treaties with others as they have grown. Competition remains fierce, however. Struggles rage for supremacy in business, commerce, resources, power and control. There can be tenuous peace between colonies' political agendas, but the grabs for holdings constantly unsettle the volatile frontier.Our Pick Top Trending Science fiction Sandbox
Black & White 2In the game, the player takes the role of a god called from the void (nothingness) to help those who invoked them.

The player also has a creature, their physical representation in the world, which takes the form of an anthropomorphic ape, lion, wolf, turtle, cow, or tiger. Its physical manifestation can grow to an immense size, and adopt a good or evil persona separate of the player's. They develop their character as the player rewards or punishes their actions. In addition to the god simulation and city-building elements introduced in the original Black & White, Black & White 2 also features elements of real-time strategy gameplay, with the addition of controllable warfare and fighting units.Top Trending Action Fantasy Comedy Sandbox
