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. 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.
Square Enix preps Valkyrie Profile for the DS
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 say 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.

Star Ocean 1 and 2 ride Square Enix's PSP wave
We knew Square Enix and tri-ace were going to announce another installment of the Star Ocean series. What we didn't know was the target platform or, apparently, the quantity. According to slides from a Japanese press conference, they'll be releasing two remakes (surprised?) in addition to a new title.
Star Ocean 1 and 2 -- originally released on the SNES and PlayStation respectively, will be making their way to the PSP while Star Ocean 4 (tentative title) is under development and will be coming to an unspecified platform. With tri-ace also working on Infinite Undiscovery, an Xbox 360 RPG, will SO4 be a PlayStation 3 exclusive or the first multiplatform Star Ocean title?
