Wow, I’m surprised about the difference in attitude I have towards Valkyrie Profile after getting the A ending in hard mode. The story in the A ending is infinitely more times better than that of the B ending. It was even more satisfying doing it in hard mode. Therefore, I must retract the statements I made in the first post about Valkyrie Profile.

I really don’t understand why Tri-ace would have even bothered to make the B-ending, or to make the A-ending so obscure (did anyone get this ending accidentally on their first playthrough?) It seems that they really wouldn’t want people to get the “bad ending,” which isn’t really the story they wanted to tell.

I was kind of disappointed on how easy the game was though. Even in hard mode, I was able to breeze through most of the game, even the end parts. Bloodbane did give me a bit of trouble because of the fact that he can heal, but once I did a little Might Reinforce and Sap Guard, he fell pretty quickly. Fenrir was annoying because of his habit of freezing people but that was the only thing challenging about him. Loki himself was pretty easy. He had no tricky status affecting attacks or anything.

Now that I got the A ending, I’m going to continue Valkyrie Profile 2. I really don’t like the battle system that much for it; I much prefer Lenneth’s, but I’ve heard that the story is better, so I’ll bear with it.
