I predicted Square Enix picked up Valkyrie Profile: The Accused One back in June when I caught a trademark. Now, about five months later, we have an official confirmation that Valkyrie Profile: Covenant of the Plume is coming and a teaser site to poke at. But, there isn't anything to see aside from the March 17, 2009 release date for North America.
What can we expect from Valkyrie Profile: Covenant of the Plume? An isometric strategy RPG and a main character who wants revenge. After Wylfred's father was taken as an Einherjar by Lenneth he loathed her. Valkyrie Profile: Covenant of the Plume also has a familiar combat system where four different characters are mapped to different buttons.
If you haven't been keeping up with our other Valkyrie Profile: Covenant of the Plume coverage this trailer should give you a good idea about the combat system. Valkyrie Profile: Covenant of the Plume just came out in Japan on November 1 and it's getting a reasonable turn around time with only five months between regions.
Some exceptional Nintendo titles that took a chance by changing a winning formula.
Take a look back at one of tri-Ace's most beloved franchises.
I really love this series. I really hope Tri-Ace will be able to give another game in the future.
" Nibelung..Valesti!!! "
Still fresh in my memories when i finished my combos with that special moves and watched the enemies scream and disappear. Amazing games indeed and i'll buy it again if SE put the PS1 / PSP version on PSN. With Silmeria of course.
Probably my 3rd favorite Squarenix series & why they do not expand on this story is beyond me cause there is still a lot of story to tell.
The first 2 games for the Playstation were great, they weren't big sellers but there was a cult following for the series on the systems. The move to the DS was a confusing one & maybe one of the reasons why the series is abandoned at the moment.
Covenant of the Plume was a very good game, but there was simply no audience for the game when it was released. Fans of the series were waiting for another game possibly on a Playstation system but to have it move to another was a strange decision for Squarenix.
I hope Squarenix returns to the series but the way they are run now i have my doubts.
The character stories were heart-breaking in the original. It really shows how gloomy norse mythology is.
Diehard GameFAN: Welcome back to the fourth installment of “What’s Worth Keeping?” where we help me pare my game collection down to twenty games per system. After all, I own pretty much every system, handheld or console out there and there’s no chance of me ever playing all of these games again, so it make sense to keep only the ones I know I’ll come back to regularly, giving other gamers a chance to own (and hopefully play) the titles I jettison. So far we’ve looked at the Nintendo Wii, Microsoft Xbox and Sony Playstation. This time we’re going to look at a handheld – specifically the Nintendo DS.
Man, If I had to review all the shovelware and crap this guy has had to for the DS, I'd have trouble trying to think of good games for the system too.
another remake?
