There are many villains we love to hate, then there are some villains that can be likeable. But do you have any idea what it feels like to go on 40-100 hours + in a game, growing accustomed to your main party and even liking them, for their struggles, their growth and whatnot? And then all the popularity they worked so hard to gain from YOU the gamer, gets reduced to 0 the moment the main villain opens his mouth with phrases that just spell "PURE PWNAGE" ??? Yes that is exactly what Lezard Valeth has represented to me. In Valkyrie Profile 1, one of his phrases caught my attention, during a battle in Seraphic Gate after killing mobs with him in my party he says "They say: do not speak unkindly of the dead....so I say: nice try."
That was just the beginning of my fascination with that character, with all his intelligence and power for just a "mere human." Then Valkyrie Profile 2 comes out with a different voice actor by the name of Liam O'Brien. There aren't enough words for me to express the pure pwnage this spells. Rather check out some videos, listen closely to what is said, and tell me what you think and how you feel. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=z50feD9SPi0&feature=related , http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=z50feD9SPi0&feature=related , there are many more but you can either play the game or check youtube for them. Hope you enjoy.
Make games, not war (that goes for ridiculous fanboys)
I may be the next Maelstorm or not, you be the judge http://videogamesgrow.blogspot.com/ hopefully I can be more of an asset than a fanboy to VGC hehe.
