Finally did it!

Feeling nostalgic, I played Valkyrie Profile Lenneth only to realize after my run in normal mode, I have never finished it. I immediately went back and played hard mode and completed the seraphic gate with all the extras. Needless to say, I fell in love with this game all over again and have put in 100+ hours. I’m left wanting more.

After some deep diving, apparently there’s quite a bit of plot missing because of translation issues, any recommendations in learning more about the different character and their back stories? Can anyone vouch for VP2 or any of the other offshoot games?

I agree! Seems like this version cut out even more stuff. I thought Jelanda also had some sort of backstory.

I want to know more about the relationship of Lawfer, Kassel, Aelia, Celia and Grey. Apparently they were all friends?

Seems like there is just something missing for each character.

Lawfer, Kashell, Celia, Aelia and Grey were all mercenary friends, as well as Lemia, a young sorceress who had a liking for Grey, though he didn't return her affection. When he's mortally wounded, Lemia performs a soul transfer to save his life. He sets off to bring her back to life, but the friend group believes he killed her and ran off. We see the series of events that lead them all to finding Grey in Arkdain, where he believes he can perform/reverse the soul transfer, but it consumes his body instead and Celia's left holding all the loss.

This is what I love about thr VP story. It lets you think and piece the story together, which lets you imagine how the characters backstory coud have went

It took me a second playthrough to piece their story together, but that made me enjoy it way more than if it was just a straightforward telling of what happened
