Valkyrie Profile 2: Silmeria PS2

A modicum of savvy of Square Enix games gone by is pretty much essential to anyone thinking of taking the plunge with Valkyrie Profile 2: Silmeria. This story begins hundreds of years before the legendary adventures of Lenneth, the Battle Maiden. Silmeria Valkyrie is charged by Odin, Lord of the Gods, to gather the souls of the fallen. Silmeria serves her master faithfully until a certain incident causes her to doubt - and ultimately rebel against - the law of Odin. Odin immediately recognises the danger, transmigrates Silmeria's soul, and summons the next Battle Maiden in her place. But the Sovereign's Rite - the divine spell used to transfer Silmeria's soul - is not completed. Silmeria awakens within the body of a young princess of Dipan. The princess's name is Alicia. Normally, valkyrie souls don't awaken when trapped in the body of a mortal. Lord Odin will not suffer one who defies his will to remain alive and conscious. One day, Odin will discover that the traitorous valkyrie lives, and he will bring divine retribution upon her.
