Valkyrie Profile 2: Silmeria

Background

The valkyrie Silmeria once served Odin loyally, but after an incident ignited a conflict between them, Odin forcefully reincarnated her as a human. The human soul that would carry her spirit was that of Alicia, Princess of Dipan. Ordinarily, Silmeria's consciousness would have been sealed, her spirit dormant until she was next summoned.

However, the forced transmigration causes Silmeria's spirit to awaken within Alicia, leaving two souls to inhabit a single body. The spirit that should have been sealed has awakened: a situation Odin will not ignore for long.

Gameplay

Though in a 3-d enviroment, it will play very much like the orignal 2-d side scrolling game. Within battles, characters will be assigned buttons and they will attack and use combos as each button is pressed in any series.
