About Valkyrie Profile: Lenneth

Valkyrie Profile: Lenneth is a platformer and Role-playing (RPG) game developed by Square Enix Product Development Division 10 and published by Square Enix, released on 2 March 2006.

Valkyrie Profile: Lenneth is the PlayStation Portable port of the original Valkyrie Profile developed. The port is of the Japanese PlayStation version and does not have any of the gameplay improvements or changes made to the original English version, though the additional cinematics included in the English version are intact. Full motion video has been added to story events in the game and replaces all original anime scenes. Lezard Valeth's teleportation circle was changed from a pink pentagram to a purple circle though this was left unchanged in the PlayStation Portable version. The names of Frei, the elder sister, and Freya, the younger, were reversed from Norse mythology and from the Japanese version (though in the former, Frei is the elder brother). The English version of Lenneth uses an enhanced version of the original game's localization and reuses the original English voiceover track. Square Enix cleaned up the original game's English script and additional voice over dialogue for the CG movies was recorded by New Generation Pictures, rather than the original company, TAJ Productions.

Steeped in the muted colors and melancholy of Norse mythology, this tale casts the player as Lenneth, a valkyrie: one of the divine maidens who descend to the mortal world to seek out warriors fated to fall in battle. As the gods brace for a looming war among themselves, Lenneth is charged with gathering the spirits of these doomed heroes, learning the sorrowful, often tragic stories that led to their deaths, and guiding them into the afterlife. Those she deems worthy she trains and molds into einherjar, honored fighters who will one day take their place among the divine armies. Torn between her sacred duty to Odin and the very human grief carried by the souls she collects, Lenneth journeys across a world shadowed by loss and destiny. Beneath her solemn task, however, lie buried memories and secrets that may reshape her understanding of who she truly is.
