With the appearance of the original Valkyrie Profile was six years old, and during that time, the game managed to gain cult status. About her enthusiastically remembered for online-forums, collectors bid up prices for a drive on online auctions, journalists ruefully sigh: "There were games in our time ...". And no wonder that, hand in re-Valkyrie Profile, employees Square Enix decided not to change anything (but become generous to a dozen smart movie). In general, people remember the game on PS one, hardly can find out something new. The gameplay, the combat system, story - all this has remained the same. Even the schedule, and that did not modify or improve, unless, of course, do not take global climate change widescreen (corresponding to the screen PSP) picture. A pity. Many decorations would not prevent additional details and colors, character animation, though infrequently, either limping on his right foot, or on both at once ...
