HURRY UP AND GRAB YOUR BUCKET.
I decided to replay Valkyrie Profile and do all the stuff I did not do. Which was really just hard mode, the B ending, and Seraphic Gate. SO I DUNNO HERE'S A HUGE WALL OF STUFF
• I didn't really pay attention to the Einherjar status during Sacred Phases before, so I decided I would this time. And what is the first thing I end up looking at? A story of how Llewelyn saves a rabbit. OH BOY GREAT JOB PREVENTING THE GODS' DEMISE BRO.
• Man why does Lezard's gettinghurt voice play itself like a billion times at once each time you hit him. STOP IT LEZARD. Anyway. His tower is actually really easy as long as you never fight the stupid Fatal somethingsorother. Glowflies? I don't remember. They're what kept destroying me on my first playthrough and they tried hard to do the same this playthrough too. And then I just stopped fighting them entirely. Not worth it.
• "She wasn't all that special, but... SHE HAD THIS HAIR, MAN." Quote is obviously not exact but close enough to what he actually said and sums up how I feel about Lucian. He is a joke! I will never be able to take him seriously or like him. Platina was crazy.
• Aelia has the "Drinker" trait. Which is apparently considered a positive trait. WELL OKAY VALKYRIE PROFILE IF YOU REALLY WANT TO ENDORSE THE CONSUMPTION OF ALCOHOLIC BEVERAGES.
• In one of my Sacred Phases Belenus obtained "Magic Tools" for Thor. Yeah. Magic Tools. These Magic Tools must be super important to be capitalized like that. As important as the Four Treasures.
• Nanami is a king among kings. Except she's a girl so queen. BUT SHE IS AN AWESOME. WHAT KIND OF BADASS WOULD DIE AND SAY "SORRY I TOOK YOUR PLACE SIS HERE HAVE YOUR LIFE BACK" AND THEN LATER WHEN SHE'S HANGING OUT IN ASGARD FIGHTING OFF VANIR BECAUSE I DIDN'T WANT TO LISTEN TO HER AWFUL BATTLE QUOTES ANYMORE SHE GETS SENT TO TAKE THE SYLVAN BOW FROM ALFHEIM. And the fairies basically just hand it over to her because she's just that awesome.
• Shiho is a nondrinker and apparently this is a bad thing. WHAT IS WRONG WITH YOU VALKYRIE PROFILE. Also I like using Shiho because I think that burst of light right before she casts a spell is stylish. Especially with Prismatic Missile for some reason.
• CELIAAAAAAAA. Can't kill Gray because "then I really would be all alone..." AND THEN HE SAYS FORGIVE ME AND JUST CRUMBLES. I will always be praying for your death, Celia.
• Badrach says "unf" when he gets sliced. Just thought I'd throw that out there.
• INSOLE--INSOLE--INSOLENT FOOLS! Oh Barbarossa. You really do belong in Valkyrie Profile Silmeria. Plus, "Your opinion!! I do not wish to hear it!!" I just love this guy in this game. He's so ridiculous. I also fought him three times by accident and I feel like I did that in my first playthrough too. I never learn, do I?
• What is with Mystina's pronunciation of Seraphic Law? For the longest time I thought she was saying "surround and fall"... and then later I found out that she's not the only one saying it that way. :( I'm not crazy, right? The stress should totally be on the first syllable. And while I am talking about Mystina, I still do not understand why most of her quotes are super quiet, and then the ones that aren't are so loud that they get distorted and don't even sound like her anymore (YOU'RE STARTING TO ANNOY ME being the best example).
• I didn't like any of the hard mode dungeons. They were usually just annoying because I don't like listening to Lennethhurtsounds at a rate of 200 per second in the fire place, Sunken Shrine was always hiding switches from me that didn't even look like switches, Tombs of Amenti had those stupid heads which could sometimes walk through fire for no reason, I kept forgetting the location of the plants in Salerno Academy, and like. I don't know. I guess Celestial Castle was okay. Clockwork Mansion could have been pretty cool if I had any idea where my destination was supposed to be in that puzzle but I still don't know even now that I'm through with it. OH WAIT I LIKED ARIANROD LABYRINTH. And Dark Tower of Xervah wasn't that bad. But still, too many annoyances overall in these dungeons.
• My Seal Value was actually at 2 at one point. I wasn't following a guide or anything, and I was sending up Einherjar all the time. It is hard for me to understand why some people act like getting the A ending is some sort of nearly impossible task when I can do it so effortlessly. I mean honestly all you have to do is simple math that even I can handle. Your Seal goes up whenever you send up Einherjar and you're doing it all the time? Okay. So forget about Seal entirely until you actually HAVE to start lowering it with nonrecruitmentevents (when you have to beat up Lezard, basically) since it can't go above 100. And of course if you want to send Einherjar in that chapter it's best to do it before you lower your Seal Value. It's just so easy. :(
• Surt was a pansy and I don't know how anyone could ever call that a final boss. I MEAN REALLY WHAT WAS THAT.
• The A ending final boss was actually pretty easy this time for me, though not a joke like Surt. Dunno why this is so different from how things were on my first playthrough... I remember having to watch all those stupid scenes of buildings dying and undying over and over again because I kept losing. Maybe I had more RDM this time or something. Fenrir also never gave me a chance to panic this time, and Bloodbane for some reason only gave me troubles when I fought him on Asgard Hill. Fighting him in Jotunheim Palace was super easy. This game makes no sense!
• You know what's funny? When Freya's like "ONE DAY I MUST FACE BRAHMS" at the end of a battle... when Brahms is in the party.
• The Seraphic Gate was really easy actually. The only fight I had problems with was Lezard and the eyeballs. And that wasn't hard to survive, it was hard to kill. I mean you can't really do anything to Lezard until you get rid of the eyeballs and they have totally different stats and they will also revive each other. Reflect Sorcery wars are always fun though I guess. But yeah. Stupid Lezard, always doing something to annoy me. THERE WILL ALWAYS BE A LEZARD SOMEWHERE THAT WILL PREVENT ME FROM BEING HAPPY.
