[PS2] Valkyrie Profile: Silmeria

I liked the difficulty setup for VP, myself. Normal mode was perfect for when you were just picking up the game for the first time, and getting used to the whole setup. Then you replayed the game on hard mode to see the whole thing, get all the flame gems, and most likely have found a guide to getting the good ending. The best part was that it was true replay value, since hard mode has entirely separate dungeons. That was as much a reward as getting to see the rest of the storyline.

Jam it back in, in the dark.

Well, obviously I'm talking about only knowing enough to get yourself through the game, not really caring about dialogue, descriptions and the like.

Uh, doesn't that kind of defeat the whole purpose?

Hell, good luck following the story even if you DO know Japanese. I've heard that these games are written in the Japanese equivalent of ye olde English, which was a bitch to translate properly. Probably the reason for the occasionally stilted dialogue in VP. I sure hope they tap the same voice actors from before; Lezard's delivery was a big part of what made the character fun.

Also, whoa there, guys. O_o I'm unreserved in my anticipation for this game too, but wait for the actual game to come out before blowing your loads.

There's nowhere I can't reach.

I think I'll be satisfied with the English version, myself. I have a great deal of confidence in Squeenix's localization department. Even if it's not the same actors, I think I can be sure the voice acting won't outright suck.

This thing is sticky, and I don't like it. I don't appreciate it.

Probably not. There are bound to be a lot of allusions to the first game, but Silmeria is a prequel, so the game events don't depend on knowledge of the original.

I am a dolphin, do you want me on your body?

Man, I remember back in the day when people would actually WAIT for the game to just come out in the United States. If you're planning on purchasing the English version, why ARE you downloading the game?

I was speaking idiomatically.

It's unlikely there will be an option for Japanese voices, if for no other reason than storage space considerations. DVDs don't seem as big as they used to these days.

Not that I'm worried, myself. Squeenix is not in the habit of welching on their localization efforts. Enix did a fine job back in the day with Valkyrie Profile, and SE knocked themselves out doing an outstanding job even on an obscure title like Front Mission 4. I just hope they can get back the voice actor for Arngrim/Lezard; it just won't be the same otherwise, even if Lezard isn't an evil sexual predator this time around.
