Description / Описание
In fairness, exacting revenge on a god seems like it ought to be pretty difficult. Valkyrie Profile 2 is the story of Silmeria, a valkyrie's soul trapped in the body of the princess Alicia. To onlookers, it appears as if Alicia has a split personality, or in other words, is crazy. So, without a friend in the world, Alicia sets off to aid Silmeria in her quest to get back at Odin, the lord of the gods, for exiling her. It's an interesting premise, though the story is slow to develop and relies rather heavily on some predictable archetypes. The game offers a distinctly Japanese take on Norse mythology and features a fairly conventional cast of characters, including a sarcastic archer (who looks like he's styled after Johnny Depp's Captain Jack Sparrow), a highfalutin but helpful sorcerer, a hulking warrior, and more. While there's a main cast, throughout the game you'll be freeing souls called "einherjar," which become members of your party. There are dozens of different characters in all, though you'll bring only four into battle, so it's tempting to stick with the main cast since they're the ones in the story sequences. The story turns out to be interesting enough, but the actual gameplay of Valkyrie Profile 2 is probably the biggest attraction.Valkyrie Profile 2 is spread across a variety of towns, wilderness areas, dungeons, and other locations divided up by a sprawling map. You just pick one map location or another, so there's no sense that you're exploring some vast world, in spite of the epic nature of the game's plot. And unlike in the original game, which gave you a limited amount of time to prepare for the climactic battle of Ragnarok, there's no time pressure to go from one area to the next. In fact, you can revisit the game's dungeons and its battles as many times as you want. Furthermore, even though the game is all done up in impressive fully 3D graphics (in contrast with the 2D artwork of the original), it plays like an old side-scrolling 2D game when you're not in battle. This may come as a slight shock the first few times you visit one of the game's elaborate-looking towns and realize all you can do is run left or right, sometimes pressing "up" to walk into a house or go down a side street. However, this system works, and it gives the game's many dungeons a totally different feel, for better or for worse, from what you'd normally find in a Japanese RPG.
