Category: Video Games and Guides. Valkyrie Profile is a classic role-playing game that has gained a cult following over the years. The series follows the story of Leifthrasir, a warrior who seeks to save his kingdom from an evil force known as the "Blackened." Along the way, he meets various characters and must make strategic decisions that will determine the fate of the world. The first game in the series was released on PlayStation 1 in 2001, while Valkyrie Profile 2: Silmeria came out a few years later on PlayStation 2 in 2004. Both games are considered to be some of the best RPGs ever made and have been praised for their deep storytelling, challenging gameplay, and unique combat system. One of the things that sets Valkyrie Profile apart from other RPGs is its focus on strategy rather than brute force. Players must carefully manage their resources, recruit allies, and make strategic decisions in order to succeed. The combat system is also quite different from most games, as it involves a turn-based battle system where players can pause the game to issue commands. In addition to the games themselves, there are several guides available for fans of the series. Valkyrie Profile: Prima's Official Strategy Guide provides detailed information on how to complete each level and defeat all enemies, while VALKYRIE PROFILE: Covenant of the Plume Official Strategy Guide offers a comprehensive guide to completing the game with all possible endings. For those who want even more in-depth knowledge of the series, there are also limited edition packages available for both Valkyrie Profile 2: Silmeria and Valkyrie Profile: Lenneth. These packages include a variety of collectibles, such as art books, soundtracks, and figurines, as well as exclusive content not found in the standard version of the game. Overall, Valkyrie Profile is an excellent series that offers a unique RPG experience for fans of the genre. The games are challenging, engaging, and offer plenty of replay value, while the guides provide valuable information for those looking to master the series.
