STORY
Created by award-winning developer tri-Ace Inc., VALKYRIE PROFILE 2: SILMERIA draws inspiration from the very core of the franchise: an addictive combat system, a sweeping score, a unique story with ties to Norse mythology and gorgeous visuals that push the system's hardware to its limits. New enhancements to the classic 2D formula add dimension and depth to one of the most beloved RPG franchises of all time. Take control of the next-generation of VALKYRIE PROFILE and follow the tale of an abandoned princess whose tormented soul holds the key to survival and existence.
Divine insurrection besieges the heavens. Invoking his power as king of the gods, Odin hastily reincarnates the spirit of rebel valkyrie Silmeria into Alicia, Princess of Dipan. However, unbeknownst to Odin, the spirit of the battle-maiden awakens within Alicia, still seeking vengeance.
Years pass. Believing his daughter to be possessed, King Barbarossa of Dipan declares Alicia dead and exiles her to a faraway castle. Odin learns of Silmeria's awakening and dispatches the imperious Hrist Valkyrie to summon her spirit to Valhalla. Alicia runs in fear - with Silmeria in defiance - as they embark on a journey where nothing is what it seems and all hide behind a mask.
Sacred treasures offering unimaginable power suggest hope for independence, but manipulation and intrigue fool those who fight fate into fulfilling more diabolical destinies. The battle rages through the realm of Midgard, over the bridge of Bifrost, into the heavens of Asgard and beyond as the struggle for control - over Alicia's fate and the fate of all existence - unfolds in unforeseeable dimensions.
