RPGamer - News Bulletin - Valkyrie Profile Gets DS Spin-off

It was announced today that tri-Ace, the company responsible for developing the Star Ocean series, is hard at work on producing Valkyrie Profile: The Accused One. Little is known about this spin-off, aside from what can be gleaned from a scan and a couple images.

The main protagonist in the game, Wilfred, is out for revenge against the gods and Valkyries that he so despises. In a sort of catch-22, he is enabled to seek his revenge against the gods via a gift from Hel, Goddess of the Underworld. Traveling with the intrepid hero are his friend Ansel, and a soul from the underworld, Elise.

Well if current TriAce standards (lowering thereof) are anything to go by the game will be about seventy hours long, sixty-nine of which will be spent running from village to village and the last hour will involve fighting mecha-versions of all the previous Einherjar from, like, Dimension X or something. And there'll also be a six hundred and sixty six floor dungeon to complete once you've reloaded your saves enough times trying to refine one item needed for it.

Apart from that, I'm optimistic!

>>> Finally..

Seems like this could be a more traditional RPG go at the Valkyrie Profile world. I like it. Eagerly awaiting juicier details.

looks like it has FFT graphics which i like. but this is good news seeing as i just bought a DS and now have something to look forward too.

Yay!

oooooh Tri-Ace... YAY!

I'm not too excited about this game. Probably because it doesn't centre around one of the Valkyries. I'd rather they spent their time doing a game about Hrist.

While I really enjoyed VP:Lenneth, I felt that VP: Silmeria was a complete let down, so I can agree with this post.

If Hrist isn't in it, I don't think I'll buy it. Though, since I don't have a DS and my sister does, I might borrow hers and buy it if it draws my interest more.

I was looking forward to Valkyrie Profile: Hrist. I think that it would be a very unique story compared to the other two games, but I think that this might be an interesting take on the series, too. I wonder if this game will take place in the Valkyrie Profile: Lenneth world or the Valkyrie Profile: Silmeria world?

[Markus. D]

It seems that Hrist is the most zealous of the Valkyries... I'd LOVE to see a game based on her.

[Roogle]

Yes, in the first game, Hrist is shown to the player only as a darker persona and gives the player a notion of what could've been. In the second game, Hrist is shown to be a much deeper character than initially anticipated and joins the party at various points in the game, so —

(SPOILER)The endings of the games leave little room for a sequel centering on Hrist.
