![]() It is literally chapter 3 of Valkyrie Profile 2 but for the entire game so if you hated chapter 3 in Valkyrie Profile 2, you will be bored to death by this game’s story. Go to the elemental dungeon, get the macguffin, go to the next elemental temple, rinse and repeat. If you’ve played any Zelda game or Tales Of Symphonia, you know what to expect. While this isn’t inherently an issue, it’s certainly nothing we haven’t seen before. There are a few interesting twists here and there but the story mostly revolves around your typical macguffin hunt for most of the game. The story of YS SEVEN is pretty straightforward and is arguably the most generic of the three, not that this is an issue. The downside however is that YS SEVEN is the only game of the three to prohibit players from removing Adol from the party, meaning that you only get to choose 2 party members to tag alongside him. In YS SEVEN however, this isn’t an issue as Adol can equip different weapon types, allowing him to use all three attack modes, making certain party compositions that would otherwise handicap the player a viable combination. This is a problem in later entries as it essentially presents several false choices in the form of party compositions, where certain party compositions would be objectively inferior to others. Because of this, players will usually prefer a party that has one of each attack mode and since you have a maximum of 3 characters in your party at a time, you would need to make sure all of them have different attack modes. ![]() ![]() YS SEVEN introduced the three attack modes that players had to be aware of when fighting certain enemies to exploit weaknesses. I can see why they automated this feature for that reason, however I can’t deny that the act of charging up your attacks was pretty satisfying in a way. Because you could charge the sword manually, this meant that you would often have the X button held down wherever you went just to make sure that your first hit on the enemy would be a strong attack. One thing I noticed immediately was the ability to charge up your sword to perform a stronger attack that fills the sp meter up faster, this is the only game of the three that has this feature as the other two games have the sword charge automatically whenever it is not used. ![]() In a way, that kinda makes YS SEVEN the Castlevania Symphony Of The Night of the YS series as it completely reinvented the formula and was the first game of its kind. This was a colossal change from earlier YS games and because of it, the game had to incorporate a lot of new features to accommodate this feature to the point that it became a completely different experience. YS SEVEN was the second game I played in the series and was the first game in the series to have multiple party members. So for starters I want to talk about the earliest of the three games, YS SEVEN. Now that I have played all three of the modern games, I feel the urge to do a comparison of the three so that you can get a good idea as to what each game’s strengths and weaknesses are as well as my personal thoughts on each one and which one is the best of the three. Having tried a few of the older games, I’m glad that these changes happened because I absolutely despise the gameplay in some of the older games and I actually prefer having party members as opposed to just a single character for the entire game. While these games have gotten a lot of flak from die hard fans, I personally had a lot of fun with all three of them.
