[PS2] Valkyrie Profile: Silmeria

I'm assuming the Emperor Palpatine guy in the video is one of the three advisors to Barbarossa.

Good find.

Alright, since this place has really been dry of information lately, here's some relatively new things for those who haven't kept up.

Here's a high quality version of the new trailer: http://www.square-enix.co.jp/vp/vp2/movie/vp2_pv2.wmv

Here's the MP3 from the main site:

Showcasing the new Rune system, and three new Einherjar: Arcana, Lwyn, and Alm.

Credits go out to various members at ValhallaOnline.


EDIT: Oh, and "the Emperor Palpatine guy" is most definitely one of the three mages of Dipan. Most probably Walther. He was depicted in an earlier scan with the other two, presumably Dallas and Gyne.

I was speaking idiomatically.

Thanks for the link to the trailer. I was looking for a higher quality version.

The Ruliweb images don't seem to work though.

What kind of toxic man-thing is happening now?

It's because they've been abbreviated. Copy the link locations and paste them.

FELIPE NO

I get the feeling there are even more characters this time around. The difference being that most of the "extra" einherjar are being designed by someone else. (I think Kou & You designed all characters for the original game, right?) Either way I still think they look nice.

What, you don't want my bikini-clad body?

Whoops, sorry about the scans. Thanks for clearning that up, Generic Badass.

As for the Einherjar, I've heard rumors that there would be around 40 or so characters, but I haven't heard any such confirmation of such things. There do seem to be a lot more, however. Doesn't seem like a bad guess, with images like This One floating around. There're 18 Einherjar right there.

You're right about the art, though. Kou and You Yoshinari did the original game's art, and what seems to be the art for the "main" characters in Silmeria. I've heard that Shunya Yamashita has done the art for the other Einherjar. Shunya Yamashita's site can be found at http://www015.upp.so-net.ne.jp/shunya/


Also, here's the scan of the three Mages of Dipan I had mentioned earlier: http://img138.imageshack.us/img138/2457/newscan11sx.jpg

How ya doing, buddy?

Huh, that's odd. I'd heard that

Spoiler:

The brown one (the one whose hair is covering his right eye) was a fourth advisor to Barbarossa that was murdered by the other three. He seems to show concern for Alicia, which definitely isn't something any of the three in the original Valkyrie Profile would do.

But, then again, the fact that he's put with the bad guys and is grouped with them like a trio is a pretty good indication that he's a third bad guy.

How ya doing, buddy?

Good point, I had heard that as well.

Spoiler:

That is, I had heard that the fellow with hair over his eye is indeed a friend of Alicia (And appears so in a few screenshots) and eventually is killed by the mages. Someone I recall said that the "fourth" mage wasn't depicted in the image on that scan.

That very well may be the case. Though I still think the art there paints a different picture, but I suppose at this point either could be true.

EDIT: Though it might not be noticed, I'll edit instead of double posting.

This thing is sticky, and I don't like it. I don't appreciate it.

Another scan.

I see a bit of new stuff in there.

This game is so close I can taste it now. 6 days!!

I am a dolphin, do you want me on your body?

Cool, on the-magicbox.com they have released the game evaluation for VP:S

Valkyrie Profile 2: Silmeria (PS2, Square Enix): 9, 8, 8, 9 - (34/40)

Its looking good so far XD not too high below 30... so its a 'anticipated' game for me for sure

I was speaking idiomatically.

Someone on another forum who got that issue of Famitsu said that basically, they said the graphics were good, gameplay good but reviewers thought that there weren't enought tutorials, steep lurning curve and it was difficult.

So it fixed a lot of problems I have with RPGs, nice.

FELIPE NO

Hmm interesting... I saw the torrent of this game posted in Tokyotosho.com

http://www.meganova.org/download/40c...f4e09b.torrent

I thought the game's official release date is tomorrow or the day after... <_< an early leak perhaps or a fake?

I already ordered mine, so it should arrive soon *fingers crossed*

If that's the SoloPS2 one, then it's actually been out since yesterday. However, they've got some weird ass waiting system, so most people have to wait 48 hours before downloading.

Jam it back in, in the dark.

You only have to wait if you don't upload enough, you know ^^.

There's nowhere I can't reach.

Or if you have no download history, like myself.

This thing is sticky, and I don't like it. I don't appreciate it.

If you are logged into the forum it shouldn't take that long before the tracker recognizes you. I started my download yesterday and I'm enjoying the game today. So far... AWESOME.

I am a dolphin, do you want me on your body?

Any option to at least have the subtitles or menus in english?

I was speaking idiomatically.

If Arngrim and Lezard is making a comeback.. and the premise is several hundred years ago, will it be their (Arngrim and Lezard's) forefathers?

What kind of toxic man-thing is happening now?

Reincarnation plays a large role in Valkyrie Profile, and we know that the Arngrim in Silmeria is a past life of his. It's not so clear with Lezard, though I'm sure someone who has the game already can explain it.

FELIPE NO

Man, I remember back in the day when people would actually WAIT for the game to just come out in the United States. If you're planning on purchasing the English version, why ARE you downloading the game?

What, you don't want my bikini-clad body?

Because back in the day when people would wait for the US release, the internet crawled at five bytes an hour.

I'm impatient.

There's nowhere I can't reach.

Ok tomorrow the game will be here. Same as it is with FF XII that I almost finished I'll think about VP:S. If anyone know about any translations let me know. Can't wait till tomorrow and big test!

This thing is sticky, and I don't like it. I don't appreciate it.

No one's going to put any effort into a translation-- the game'll be out in the US in 90 days or so.
