A good review by someone who has actually played the game, thank you. I also appreciate this guy isn't shouting loudly at us nor making any forced unfunny jokes, I wish more youtubers were composed like this.

[@CrowBoy-p7f]

As opposed to all the reviews by people who never played the games? What an idiot. As for his lack of shouting and lack of unfunny jokes, it's probably because he's too depressed to speak above a whisper or attempt a joke.

[@BigWillTheThrill]

I most definitely recommend a guide if you want to achieve the best ending, known as Ending A. There are very specific conditions and circumstances that need to be accomplished, and the game does very little to inform you. It is almost impossible to accidentally get this ending.

[@kuchiku-kanzo759]

I beat this back on psp. Never knew how to get the best ending. Thinking of diving back into this

[@Jordan3DS]

The art kind of weirds me out, but the sprites look good.

[@Jordan3DS]

@@aliasmcdoe You're entitled to your opinion, but personally I don't think the art looks that great. It gives me mid-2000s Falcom vibes back when their art was really cheap looking. My kind of art is SaGa, Final Fantasy Tactics, Fire Emblem Shadows of Valentia, Bravely Default, Octopath Traveler, Persona, etc. This just looks like someone trying to copy European styles while not being very talented. I will say, though, if your name is a reference to Duck King from Fatal Fury then that's awesome.

This to me is the pinnacle of ps1 jrpg's, I love this game on each replay I do of it and it's a shame the sequel decided to change the combat system.

[@myaaurora]

[@andariel654789]

@@myaaurora The sequel's combat was what actually made me stop playing it, I really didn't like the transition from full turn based into this FF XII kind of approach, and it felt like it really squandered the uniqueness of the original system.

[@kuchiku-kanzo759]

Same here. Loved that game almost like no other. Ffx and chrono cross also sit high on my list but I have those remasters. I wanted vp silmeria for year but lenneth has been remade, like 4 times already tho lol

[@RaisinsO]

I would give this game a 10, but I always found the time limit (as generous as it is) not enough to enjoy all the characters you can add to your party. Still, it's a PSP classic and I still have my original copy. Beautiful game. amazing music, extremely underrated gem of the RPG genre.

[@MrBahamut]

Well it's not underrated its a 11/10 for me, but its very old now (from the PS1 were the used anime as cutscenes instead of 3D) so not many people know about it.

[@BingBangPoe]

I just think it is a huge shame they didn't remaster this game, just ported the PSP version. Still, the game aged like fine wine and still look pretty darn good.

[@AM-uk7jv]

It's in my top 3 of PS era JRPGs. For newcomers, play in hard mode. You get better gear and more recruits, so it actually becomes easier in the endgame compared to the hamstrung easy or normal mode. Is this more or less a 1-for-1 port of Lenneth for the PSP, which is based on the inferior Japanese version? Or did SE add the QOL improvements from the international version with this release? Things like sorting items, using L/R to switch characters in the menu, changing inactive members' equipment, Lenneth's skills being removed when changing equipment, etc? Not that big of a deal because the core game is unchanged. But it would be a welcome addition if SE implemented those improvements as well.

[@SeventhheavenDK]

I totally disagree with this. Hard mode can become easier only IF you know what you are doing (which means NOT newcomers), unless you advise them to also seek for a guide (which for a first experience shouldn't be used, as getting ending B is part of that first experience, too). Also, Hard Mode is Hard not because the random mobs are harder, but mostly because of the annoyance of the exclusive Hard mode dungeons (and actually, the hard mode bosses can be very unforgiving if you are not correctly prepared). Again, unless you use a guide is very unlikely you will get the especial equipment you mention, because you need to use the not so obvious transmutation system, a special item to get better gear, or even find the correct materials which are very hidden (including the Seraphic Gate stones), or finding the well hidden hard mode weapons/armor. Also, all your characters start level 1, great for the experienced because we know how to build our characters to abuse the level 1 start, but for a newcomer can become overwhelming IF they don't know the system or what they are doing. And finally, unless you are playing in easy, Hard mode will only offer one more recruit than in Normal, and that's the end of it. Normal is...well that, Normal, it lets you go on a normal pace in your first experience, to learn the system, and to travel through "normal "difficulty" dungeons, especially because is very likely you will even get ending B during your first play. Then you can jump to hard mode with a guide for ending A, correcting all the mistakes you probably made in your character build, same guide that will advise you in which Characters to focus to send to Valhalla, and that will tell you how to get all the awesome powerful equipment, and thus, make the game easier than in Normal. EDIT: Also, playing in Hard, you will miss the Black Dream Tower and it's awesome soundtrack.

[@Guolf1005]

One of the best JRPG ever made. The music, the voice acting, the graphics, the story ❤ The moment I saw this was available on PS Store I bought it right away. I've replayed it so many times and I just wantto finish Hollow Knight so I can replay VP again!

[@Sol_Regit_Omnia]

I absolutly love this game!!! I play this game at least once a year. And i hope with this version theres a trophy list for PS4/PS5. That being said, i dont understand why did they use the PSP version when there is a very great high quality HD version on the Apple store and Google play store. I have the Android version. Now ill say this... The platforming on the cell phone is a pain. But i got thru the entire game on my phone and its easly beatable. If you can just check it out and see the resolution, its an amazing visual upgrade. On an OLED screen, its top tier. They really should have used the phone version, which is weird to say, but i love this game and i feel it would have been a better option. But yea great game.

I wish there was a way to keep the anime OP and ED from the PS1 version of the game.
