Valkyrie Elysium is FINE.
I’d like to point people towards Visions of Mana instead. A fun Action RPG that was pretty much ignored in 2024

you can pick up Valkyrie Elysium for like 20 bucks now and I maintain that's it's a perfectly fine weekend length action rpg
Poor Diofield Chronicles. Poor Star Ocean VI. Poor Dragon Quest Treasures. Poor Harvestella. Poor Voice of Cards. Poor Valkyrie Elysium.
