Expert Advice
PROTIP: Special attacks aren't strictly necessary, but they can do crazy amounts of damage in a single strike.

PROTIP: Special attacks aren't strictly necessary, but they can do crazy amounts of damage in a single strike.

Even just preparing for battle can take some thought, since equipment is assigned a color type and rune, and linking pieces together enhances performance and unlocks new skills. Most of the challenging fights are against bosses, but working to get the most from your available goodies is surprisingly alluring, given that there is a ton of potential to unlock hidden power. Even merchants get friendlier the more work you throw their way, eventually crafting otherwise useless items into powerful gear.

Team Spirits

There's plenty more for you to discover, from sealstones that hold sway over parties and environments alike, to powerful spirits that can be leveled and equipped like normal party members, or "freed" to leave behind stat-enhancing crystals. Not everyone's going to love the transplanted platform puzzler elements, and RPG purists might be turned off by the wafer-thin town exploration, but just discovering the way your different options fit together is so endlessly absorbing that even wildly divergent tastes will agree that Valkyrie Profile 2 is yummy indeed.

PROTIP: Don't let the stunning vistas distract you from finding hidden goodies.
