I'm 30 minutes in, following a linear as fuck "intro" section, and a confusing as hell story. There've been like two extremely quick fights, and the voice acting is really janky.
Does it get any better?
It's literally the best, anon.

Huh, finally got to the first dungeon. I think it was just the way-too-long linear intro that was bothering, this is much better.
It's not linear at all since you're gonna be questioning yourself when you have to pick the next person to send to summer camp.

Should I play ps1 or psp?
>>386273124
that's pretty much the only linear part of the game. It gets better. Except for the voice acting. As I recall, that was pretty shit all the way through.
>>386273219
You used an anime pic and that discredits you.
>>386273124
It's a fantastic game. Absolutely superb.
>>386274125

>>386273124
The intro is literally a half hour long, it picks up from there
>>386273124
Just fuck off. The game is too good for you I guess
Is the psp remake the best way to play this game?
>>386274769
the ps1 version is actually better.
I love the music and the settings in this game it's just so fucking comfy
>>386274845
Really? Why?
>>386274845
So it should be fine to play the ps1 version and then watch the psp cutscenes online?
>>386273124
One of best dub as well

They used the Japanese version as the base. The US PS1 release added several changes and fixes to the interface like auto-sorting and ability to change equipment on non-active party members.
They also replaced the anime cutscenes with CGI.

Damn, I'm playing it on the PSP.
Should I hunt down a PSX2PSP iso then and start over?
>>386274905
It really is. The intro scene in Asgard, with Lenneth just walking down the floating islands was really impressive.
>>386274073
Yeah, it got a lot better. The combat is pretty addictive.
I hope you're playing it on hardIts actually the easiest difficulty
>>386273124
>the voice acting is really janky
Play the undub version, dumbass
>not finding charm in the campy 4kids dub
Its a way better dub than something like a modern atlus release thats for sure

Jelanda turning into that red demon gave me wood

There's a lot overlap between Valkyrie Profile and the really early Pokemon voice actors, so if you can handle one you can handle the other. If I remember right the recording studios for two were close, though I can't find out where I know that from.

How does that work?
>>386278461
Lower difficulties lock you out of a lot of dungeons with good stuff in them
Hard also makes new party members start at lvl 1 which means you can build their stats way better than they'd normally be if they joined at a set level. No need to grind either since event xp is stored

I hate that arc. Lasts way too long. On the other hand, some last way too short, like Aelia's.

Well... a dog wouldn't lie.
JRPGs generally take anywhere from 2-10 hours before the 'extended tutorial' is over.
