Comment on Valkyrie Profile,
Metahodos@ani.social 1 month agoYep, that’s pretty much spot on.
Tonally and thematically VP1 and CotP are very similar and much closer to each other than they are to VP2, although the structures of their storylines differ quite a bit.

Seems I got a fairly good idea from your answer and OPs post.
Seems VP1 is more optimistic in its outlook by comparison as your companions seemed to have already been qualified to be tested to join the ranks for Ragnarök. But seems to place more value on an individual character as it has effect on the meta-narrative value.
I do know that CotP deals with some pretty heavy topics of the reality of the period and I did appreciate that rawness to it as it helped sell the setting and provide sufficient investment to see how far the rabbit hole went.
