My thoughts: Hands down the best psp title I have played, although it's just a port. My only gripe with the game is the lousy ending/minimal story explanation that you will most likely get just playing through the game normally. The good ending, which can be unlocked only by doing very specific stuffs in specific sequence i.e. need strategy guide, unveils the game in an entirely different light, tying the many loose ends cohesively (and brilliantly). While it's frustrating why the game doesn't just spell out all this good stuffs to begin with, I find the presentation, which comes across as being rather reserved, extremely intriguing and interesting. This love-hate affair grants Valkyrie Profile a spot among my gaming favourites. I will probably need to replay this game again.
Since I have made a blog at this time of the year, I may as well say a few words about my thoughts about E3. Few words because basically, I care nothing for those AAA titles (Heavy Rain is the only title that marginally caught my attention, but oh well, it's on the PS3). As long as I get a glimpse of a few interesting RPGs, I am a satisfied man. 
Reviews that still need to be wrote: Star Ocean The Last Hope (8.0), Tales of Vesperia (8.0).

VP is indeed a great game. Shame it's so rare now on the PS1...hell, I don't even see that many PSP versions of it in stores anymore.
I'm appalled to see that you have SO:TLH and ToV with the same rating. Ugh!
Kris: Damn right. I need to play VP2. And they need to make a VP with Hrist as the lead character!!!

I own this game, but have never played it. Guess I should get around to that.
