Item Description
Valkyrie Profile 2: Silmeria is set before the predecessor, when the ruined city Dipan was still a busy and prosperous city. The valkyrie Silmeria found herself taking an opposing stance against the lord of the gods, Odin and was forcibly reborn in the body of the princess of Dipan, Alicia. Unexpectedly, the spirit of Silmeria that was supposed to be sealed suddenly awakened, creating the situation of both a god and a human residing in the same body. And of course, Odin would not just sit there and do nothing, and so he sent out the leader of the 3 female gods of destiny, Ary. What lies in store for Silmeria and Alicia?
本作的時代是在前作之前，當時失落都市DIPAN還是一座繁盛的都市。戰女神SILMERIA因為某個事件而與主神歐丁對立，因此而被強制轉生至 DIPAN王國的公主ALICIA身體裡。可是沒想到應該要一直被封印的SILMERIA靈魂卻突然覺醒，於是造成了一個身體裡存在一個人與一位神兩個人格的局面。當然主神歐丁不會坐視不管，於是便派出命運三女神之首的ARY。究竟SILMERIA與ALICIA的命運會是…？

A prequel that builds on its predecessor.
As a big fan of the original Valkyrie Profile, I couldn\'t help but pick up Silmeria. I had a lot of high expectations based on the excellent Playstation game, and many were met, but not without exceptions.
In terms of story and characters, I\'m not quite happy with the direction Silmeria took. In the original the Einherjar you recruited had their backstories explained through dramatic cutscenes. In Silmeria the Einherjar you encounter are generic and somewhat randomized. This leaves the actual storytelling to the main cast; a disappointment when in the original each encounter with a new Einherjar served to further develop Lenneth\'s character. However, there are a few returning faces in the cast that make for some very interesting battle parties.
Speaking of battles, the combat system of Silmeria remains close to the original. Each of the four characters in your party is assigned to a button, and must attack with precision timing to achieve maximum damage and desirable effects such as Break Mode. However, the battles take place on a three-dimensional field where the party must move about to get into range of the enemy. There is also a time factor that can reward bonus experience. These new features serve to keep battles interesting and challenging. The often-frenetic series of combos and ougis are very impressive to watch, as are the rest of the game\'s gorgeous graphics.
Music is one area where I believe Silmeria falters. The battle themes and music in general tends to be a bit more soft and mellow than those in the original. Other themes such as the music used in the game\'s opening, as well as other cutscenes is better; very dramatic and emotional.
Overall, Silmeria is an excellent buy.

One of Square\'s Finest
yup, a definite turn over compared to your usual final fantasy games. it has a very unique battle system and is very good to play, one which you wont get bored of just doing one move. so, if you\'re bored with FF, switch to this you wont regret it!
only downfall of this game is that the English version is the worst dubbing ive ever seen, not in the voice but the syncronizing with the lip movements, but overall, its a great game!
