This was pretty crazy to compare with Lenneth (PSP remake with save states that helps tremendously long dialogue as well as easy mode that has different paths than other difficulties; lookup ending A for example) spirits vs boring Elysium flower and a brief Combat with how Elysium has bad treasure chest animation and creates invisible walls (no fall damage).

I do enjoy Elysium Digital deluxe for having both (the physical doesn't let you upgrade sadly) and you get a holy sword too. You do have to break a lot of boxes to get gems for skill trees/weapon upgrades. It was silly how they give einherjar summons in the tutorial to take them away.

Unfortunately, chapter 2 starts off boring with miss8on report and resummoning butterflies to trace treasures only to get interrupted and still not get my einherjar summons that tutorial teased with. Not sure what is surprising that I can get back after some time off (Ch2 ended well with an einherjar summon and fighting the black woman), or Valkyrie Profile had silly trinkets you have to return for measly gain to Odin (+1) or get a stiff evaluation (-5) penalty.

I do put up my thoughts on the PS5 here, after tons of improvements, stock and changes:
