Ouch what were you still planning to do? Depending on what it was you can still do it post game.
Side missions and sone trophy hunting later... Does it let you go back later? Or do I have to play through again on ng+?

Man, the cutscenes are so bad. Most don't even have any camera work and scene framing. And the dialogue is so poorly written and so stilted. There is a gap of like 5 seconds after every sentence. You don't even know if the conversation is over or not. Then there are the characters that act like 8 year olds...
I'm still early game (Taking), but this might end up being the worst RPG I've every played if this continues on. At least the gameplay seems good so far.Relia to Resulia
The worst part is when the characters discuss plot heavy shit during combat and you can't hear a fucking thing over "DOUBLE SLASH" "DOUBLE SLASH" "DOUBLE SLASH"
Well there is aa spot to escape in the final dungeon even after the this is final thing. It's supposed to be where you leave the final dungeon after winning to do post game but it's open before then. Look for a cathedral warp. It takes you to fidel's house. Also after you win you can load your last save, back out of the dungeon by that warp and do quests and trophies in addition to the post game dungeon.
I don't even know what to say about that ending. Imahine if they used that beautiful CG throughout? Aside ftom that, I feel a little let down at how kinda lame that was... well, it was acute picture of those three, but lame in terms of charachter/relationship developement
Honestly after this game I'm not sure how much a fan I am anymore. Obviously a lot of that is down to budget but I'm hearing similar things from Exist Archive to.For the Star Ocean/tri-ace fans: Not sure about sales yet in the West, but at least the Collector's Edition is sold out now.
Yeah Valkyrie Profile is always game. I'd love a new one. Just hope they won't mess that up eitherYup, same for me. Not sure how interested I am in mediocre/underwhelming low budget game (with shitty character designs) even if it's by tri-ace.
But I'd insta-buy a Valkyrie Profile 3 on principle alone.

Anything I should know before I start?
Important missables and whatnot that would require a guide?
Or can I just jump right in?
note: I don't care about trophies, just actual game impacting stuff

The game can be pretty at times. And the music is really nice in this area.
Just finished the game and man this was a game with a usually good combat system but nothing else.
If I could rate it just on the combat and things revolving around the combat like the role system and such then it's an 8.
Shame the rest of the game sucks
5/10
Let it go on record that the flying tank enemies are complete horse shit. I wiped to those things immediately dumping that ranged attack on my party more than any other boss.
So... it's a tri-Ace game, good to know.
Clarification: Most tA games have so-so or outright bad stories, even my beloved VP, RS and SO3. But the combat is always the draw for me, anyway.

Blasphemer. Valkyrie Profile's story is fantastic. I mean, the main scenario is fine, but the vignettes, the actual bulk of the game, are great. They're written and directed with a personal feel and a subtlety rarely seen in the genre and supported by Sakuraba's finest musical score.
Same deal with Resonance of Fate actually... although the main scenario of that turned out just bad. The chapter to chapter stories that teach you a little bit about the characters and world or just play around are all great. (in before Vashyron dance gif?)
Only like half of them had any meaning, IMO. The main story with Lezard and company was actually more interesting than some of the per-character vignettes, but the overall story package, while still great, shows its holes the more you play it. There was a ton of stuff that felt like they never completed and even more backstory from some of it (Lucio/Lucian's entire group story, Celia being the only one of her group to survive the entire story surrounding Grey, etc). It's definitely on the upper tier f tri-Ace stories, but it's still not amazing. It is, however, incredibly depressing.
SO5 is the same team that made SO3 right?
would yall say it was better?

Slowly getting my head around the gameplay aspects. The story seems to have picked up (Chapter 7 now), and the writing has been comparatively better than the start of the game. Also liking the various new areas in the game. When the game does cutscenes properly, it looks really good. The character art and models are pretty much CG quality, and I really like how they appear in game (Anne looks amazing!).
Overall, seem to be enjoying the game more than I was at the start of the game.
Does the battle system ever get better? Only being able to use two skills is ZZZZZZZZZZZZ. I'm basically spamming every fight. Don't even have to move my stick really.
Then the sidequests are just fetch quests, any point to those either? Some of them give you books and specialties but I feel unmotivated to do them.
I just got to Treikur and the story is been there, done that so it's doing nothing for me.
Don't feel like I'm getting anything out of the game right now. SO3 was one of my favorites and one of the most fun games on PS2, and I didn't think SO4 was that bad, but I have less patience these days and this game seems like a waste of time. Should I just sell it?
If you can fetch a good price I say go for it. Game doesn't get better, unfortunately.Does the battle system ever get better? Only being able to use two skills is ZZZZZZZZZZZZ. I'm basically spamming every fight. Don't even have to move my stick really.

Yup. I think this was a good enough restart as long as they build off of it.
The main thing I want is the return to cutscenes (and a bigger story with the help of the return of cutscenes).
I'm stuck at the boss fight right afterFidel's father dies.
I get him like half HP then he starts doing this fucking blast attack where he downs half of my team and make me unable to recover before he does another one...
Grinding I guess?

This game is on sale for $29.99 on PSN. I'm thinking about getting it, do you guys think it is worth it at that price?
