I came back to Valkyrie Profile a few times last winter and spring, mostly for the combo system. The combos and dungeon explore mechanics are probably my favorite aspects of the game. (Though I still love some of the catch phrases, maybe once a month.) For better or worse, these mechanics are available in other titles whose narratives have a tighter hold. Combos make up a significant part of a number of console RPGs (especially tactical ones), so I tend to reach for Breath of Fire IV to satisfy my combo cravings lately. Probably my favorite instance of the exploration mechanic appears in Xenosaga, where, like in VP, your exploring actions can give you an edge or hinder you in the combat.
I haven't played VP further since April, mostly because I was playing my roommate's copy, and I moved out at the beginning of May. (Incidentally, it was to get out of the dorms, not to get away from that roommate.)

Got through the first dungeon a couple days ago. Won't have Freya tagging along to help us. Yolanda's almost ready to be sent to Valhalla, but we'll need her to stick around with Freya leaving us. Magic's mighty handy for setting up combos.
Near the end of the dungeon we weren't comboing like previously. I'm not sure if that's a question of me getting tired and not timing things very well or a change in difficulty. The dungeon boss was pretty easy though. (Course, I went around and faught every monster in the place before that, and the designers might have expected people to run away or avoid some battles.)
