===============================================
2nd VALHALLA KNIGHTS 2 PSP system

UPDATE 7/20/08
Valhalla Nights 2 info:
- takes between 60 to 80 hours to complete and up to 135 hours if you want to fully complete it.
- The game was penned by the scenario writer for Final Fantasy XII so it does have a very involving story.
- Good news is that you won't spend most of that 135 hours grinding as there's even sneaking abilities so you don't have to constantly engage in battle.
- Also, no random encounters

Valhalla Knights was pretty bad, according to Metacritic and the EGM review I read awhile back. Original handheld RPGs usually turn out bad...
 
I'd have to say Garnet Chronicle looks pretty nice, from the screen shots. Who knows if they'll ever bring it here though...Sega hasn't brought a heck of alot of its japanese releases for the PSP to North America (well, it seems that way).
 
I need a good psp game NOW!.. Hope this will be any good. I've recenty sold all of my psp games and it was so worth it.

I won't say anything about the length of the game because I used to love RPGs with 60 hour+ completions. No random encounters is now always good in my book. I will say something about how FFXII didn't do much for me story-wise or character-wise (I only ended up liking Fran because she's hot and I switched to moving around with her just to stare).
