From the pages of Japan's Jump magazine comes news that Square Enix is giving tri-Ace's RPG franchise Valkyrie Profile a touchable makeover, with the series' latest sequel heading to the Nintendo DS. So says the translation sages at IGN, the game will carry the cumbersome title of Valkyrie Profile: Toga wo Seou Mono, and will introduce a new hero named Wilfred alongside unspecified series regulars.

The game marks the series' second official sequel, and the third title since 2006 following Valkyrie Profile 2: Silmeria for the PlayStation 2 and Valkyrie Profile: Lenneth, a remake of the PlayStation original for the PSP<a href="http://www.joystiq.com/2005/12/09/valkyrie-profile-returns-in-2006/" />. Unlike those games, however, Toga wo Seou Mono looks to adopt a three-fourths perspective on top of the 2D side scrolling profile view for which the series is known. That said, we're creatures of habit; we fear change -- but with tri-Ace again at the helm we're excited to see where the devs take the Norse mythology-based RPG franchise next.

Huzzah!

Another 39 buck DS title! Thanks Square.

That being said, i'll still get it when it comes out.

Does this mean the PS1 version will come down in price?

Please?

NO.

The PSOne version would have dropped in price due to the PSP release last year. If that hasn't happend yet it wont happen. This will be a NEW Valkyrie Profile.

I still dont understand how this became expensive.
They were all over the place when it came out, I assumed it was a sucky RPG or something. We got so many traded in it was a $7.99 used game which was as cheap as they got other than Sports crap at my store.

I can't wait to get this game it sounds like a hoot. I have played through the previous VP games.

[Ed Oscuro]

*drools* I got bogged down in the second one, though... had this massive stretch where I played for 2 hours without seeing a save point and then died. Gotta get back into that.

Cool, I'll definitely be picking this one up when it's released. I hope they release a PS3 sequel eventually, though.
