An RPG with not much story = Not much of an RPG
User Rating: 7.5 | Valkyrie Profile: Lenneth PSP
The FMVs are great. The graphics are OK. The voice acting is mediocre at times, and bad the rest. The idea for the story is great, but it lacks content and continuity and there is just not enough of it to go around. There are some forced attempts at mini narratives for each character which mostly have nothing to do with the main theme, making it a waste of time to watch. That being said the rest is well done, and it could have been a GREAT game but sadly it ain't. I played the first run on normal to find out I got the crappy ending at the end. Which is basically almost no ending but a The End sign and some words. Had I not gone and checked the faqs, I probably would have missed getting the good ending on the second run too. Simply put, they don't really give you enough clues to be able to figure out how to get the good ending. I have been playing RPGS for almost 20 years, and have pretty much always got all the good endings, items and sidequests without a faq. So I can tell you that this is no newb talking. It does suck to play for 30-40 hours, to find out you missed the good ( or any ending really) ending. Combine that with the weak story and it just adds insult to injury. Having said that you can see I gave it a 7.5. That's because there a lot of good things in this game. And it could have been great, but sadly is not...
