Question about Valis II

lkermel · 07/17/2010, 04:10 PM

Yo !

Could someone check something up for me on the American version of Valis II ? I remember that the manual tells a slightly different story than the Japanese version. I remember them saying that Megas (the baddie in V2) killed Rogles (The baddie in V1) - which is not the case in the Japanese version, Yuko did. Anyway, I'm updating some information on my site and I wanted to confirm that before going ahead. I remember reading that a long time ago at a friend's house (he had the TG16 version) but I'm not really sure anymore that this was exactely what I read...

Thanks for your help

Unfortunately my Valis II didn't come with the manual.

I'm curious to hear about this, though.

It just says that Rogress was a kind and generous king who died and the people of
Vecanti mourned him. Then Magas' "evil" army shows up and clears out the last of the Rogress forces.

Thanks NecroPhile, I'll check.

EDIT: You were right.

I've actually found the Valis 2 manual scans I did a couple of years ago - and the story told there was indeed altered. They don't explicitly say that Megas killed Rogles, but they picture Rogles as a kind king. Actually he was the bad guy in Valis and killed by Yuko. They also picture Reiko as a "friendly ghost" and don't say anything about the events from the first Valis, and how Yuko had to kill her best friend. I guess Valis I never came out in the US so they tried to accommodate the story or something. I've updated my review page (here) and also copied the story from the TG16's manual.

Thanks NecroPhile for the link
