This I know as a fan of the Harvest Moon series, which seem to have been decently budgeted, or else programmed by extremely skilled slaves. I keep those things in mind, but you have to be realistic: this is a competitive market with big budgets behind most of the better games, and so your product is going to be correspondingly compared. It's not a very fun game, and throwing Valhalla in there to ride on teh coattails of the likes of Valkyrie should not be the way to attract people. Marvelous has cranked out better.

So I don't see why you are comparing it to Valkyrie Profile. Also, bear in mind that while it might be on a platform more powerful than the PS1, it's from an extremely small developer with no budget, until VP:L which was from Tri-Ace and published by Squenix. Secondly, I think it's somewhat silly criticizing the game because some character class combinations aren't viable - especially having two fighters. Most RPGs require at least a basic mix of classes - fighter (or tank), healer Despite the name, it’s not Norse. So I don’t see why you are comparing it to Valkyrie Profile.
