Valkyrie Profile: Silmeria Japanese media
Square Enix's Valkyrie Profile: Silmeria is only a few months away from its September North American release. However, Japanese gamers will be enjoying it by the end of the week, and RPGamer has posted some magazine scans from the Far East that collect artwork and screens from the game. Check out Silmeria's E3 trailer at GameTrailers. Lenneth, the PSP port of the original Valkyrie Profile, ships July 18. See also: Valkyrie Profile returns in 2006
Valkyrie Profile & Xenosaga dates in Japan released
1UP's got a few Japanese release dates ready for Xenosaga III and Tri-Ace's Valkyrie Profile games. Valkyrie Profile Lenneth (the PSP remake of the original VP) actually came out in Japan the other day, while Silmeria (the all-new PS2 prequel to Lenneth) is set for release on June 22nd. Xenosaga III, meanwhile, makes its debut (and closes out at least the current-gen storyline) on July 6th. We're not sure about the release dates of these titles outside of Japan, but 1UP currently lists US dates as 8/1/2006 for 'saga, 9/15/2006 for Lenneth, and 9/20/2006 for Silmeria. Without official announcements, however, they're just good guesses.

Valkyrie Profile returns in 2006
Square Enix and Tri-Ace (Star Ocean, Radiata Stories) have announced plans to release two new Valkyrie Profile games for the PS2 and PSP. Silmeria (PS2) will be a direct sequel to the original PS1 RPG and will launch sometime in 2006. Lenneth (PSP), on the other hand, is a complete remake of the original game and will contain additional cut scenes and movies to connect the two stories. Lenneth (named after the game's heroine) will be released in Japan on March 2, but no U.S. dates have been announced for either game. The original Valkyrie Profile was praised for its strong visuals - particularly the portraits and battle effects - as well as its engaging characters. However, the game's handling of "time" and its relation to the entering and exit points on the world map made it confusing for some. Additional details for the new games will be available when Square Enix launches the official Valkyrie Profile web site on Dec. 12.
