I love this game. The atmosphere of Valkyire Profile is incredible. Right at the beginning, you get the certainty that the world will end and a corresponding countdown, which already creates a certain depressive mood.

Then there's Platina's story and the smaller stories of the Einherjar that you can recruit, all of which are at least interesting with some extremely tragic back stories. This is a game I think I will return to in the darker times of my life. The music is very experimental and you either hate it or love it....I love it :D The main story stays in the background for a long time, but gets really good in the middle and towards the end and, as I said, the small stories of the Einherjar are more in the foreground.

The platforming in the dungeons can be annoying, but otherwise I have few complaints. Fighting is fun and the pacing is also good. I only realized in chapter 4 that there was a map :D YES, I did the entire tower of Lezard without a fucking map.... what else can I say, it's a masterpiece :)
