Valkyrie: Rose

[Lethe]

Thank you, Crystal! <3 <3 I love quotes too. (ngl I only copy pasted some quotes at first because the subnavigations looked so empty and I was too lazy to write descriptions for each page, but then it turned into something that imo really adds to the shrine! Yay for creative laziness.)

Creative laziness, also known as "the thing that leads to brilliance" ^O^

[Crystal]

Haha I love it!

Wow, Lethe! I really want to play this game so I haven't dug into your shrine too much yet, but I have surfed through it, and it is ridiculously in-depth! Congrats on tackling this! Even though it's not finished, there is so much here for visitors to peruse. Like others have mentioned, you write very well. Your writing is fluid and engaging, even for a reader who hasn't yet experienced the game. I loved how you set up pros and cons on the game. The layout is beautiful as well.

I think there is a shrine we all inevitably make that becomes the shrine people associate us with. Happened to me with my Tidus shrine. I have a suspicion this will be yours, lol.

[Lethe]

I'm happy to hear there are still people who want to play The Legend of Dragoon! <3 Thanks for giving Valkyrie a look and for your lovely feedback. <3 As mentioned, your shrines were a great inspiration in how I went about structuring this one, so it means a lot to me that you like what you've seen of Valkyie!

lol! I love all my shrines very much, but being associated specifically with this one would make me happy too. :D

Haha, yeah! It's been on my to-play list for a while. I have it downloaded on my Vita. I just need to actually start it up.

I just now noticed your Credit page! Thanks so much for calling out my Sabin site! As far as organization goes, I shrine really old subjects, or subjects from games many people today might not have the chance to play, so I want to make sure my shrine is enjoyable to everyone -- old fans and new ones alike, and even those that haven't played the game, so I definitely like to have a spoiler-free section on my sites. I started doing that with my Reiko (from Parasyte) site, and then did Sabin after its revamp in 2010, and eventually started organizing all of my sites that way. I'm happy to see you were inspired by that -- it made your shrine enjoyable for me, even though I have yet to play the game. :D

[Lethe]

You're welcome. <3 I'm actually amazed that you think that way re: spoilers for very old things, since I always think that the longer back something is, the less care goes into spoiler warnings because... those things have been around forever and people may have heard about all kinds of things secondhand. (Compare that to spoilers of very recent things or even ongoing things.) Which is why I just put blanket spoiler warnings on my shrines before, until I changed them all recently. Either way, I think I like your approach as far as shrining is concerned, especially since we've got a small community here and not everyone knows the same things! :D

Hi Lethe!!

I haven't played this game in such a long time, so it was really nice to read you site and remember things, as well as look at Rose in a new perspective. Rose was my favorite character back then, and I always played as her! Wonderful job, as always! I like the layout a lot as well. Thanks for making this shrine and reminding me of great memories playing this game with Samantha! <3

[Lethe]

Thank you, Megan! :D <3 I'm glad to see there are still plenty of people who know and remember the game. Yay for nostalgia. <3

THIS IS SUCH A WONDERFUL SITE. I love Rose and LoD and I am so, so overdue a replay of this game (yeah, bad memories of gameplay induced rage are putting me off, I think).

Lethe, this shrine is so wonderfully written and detailed and it isn't even complete yet. It's such a pleasure to read through, and your content in-depth and interesting and reminding me of the things I'd half forgotten about this game that I loved. Also the layout is so neat, I seriously love this whole site so much. <3
