Famitsu Valkyrie Profile:The Accursed One Special Interview
04.07.08
Wataru Kato:Valkyrie Profile Producer
Q: The reason why a chief character became a human being?
A:Story was described in the viewpoint that looked mainly on Valkyrie so far by gods.
The Accused One, made a human being a chief character.
Picture how fragile human beings lived in comparison with the gods in the world of chaos.
I lay emphasis on the description about the life of human beings.
In addition, Valkyrie had setting called the god of death who took the soul of the soldier with, but because the setting was hard to be seen when played it in the viewpoint of gods,
thought that a view of the world that the series had by did the part daringly in the axis, and developing a story might open and did a chief character to a human being.
Q: The times setting?
A: This product becomes the story connected by the former story than 1 there chronological order.
But Lenneth former than Lenneth awakened to in the beginning of VP1 is because VP1 and the generations are different.
I understand that have you watch an illustration and a movie, but the small parts of clothes are different.
I thought that let Early and Sylmeria appear,
but do not do it like the previous work because contents to picture a human viewpoint in decrease because the ratios of the story about God world side increase necessarily when they appear.
Because familiar, I think Lenneth to be easy to begin a talk to a series fan.
Q:Einherijar(s) which appeared in VP2 appear to this product?
A:It is the generation unlike VP1 and VP2,
It completely renovates appearing Einherijar(s) and character.
The total number of people cannot yet say, but a considerable numerical character appears, and their vigor is drawn.
But there cannot the thing that Lenneth has an adventure in length and breadth inexhaustibility like VP1 which was the leading role in the Midgard whole because human Wilfred suffers from the axis of the story as for this product.
What a human home range is limited to is because there is not the feather such as Valkyrie.
The story that the human relations that are complicated in a local range affecting direct Wilfred develop is pictured in fights with a country and the country.
Q: Teach it about a multi-story system.
A: Battle choice, a story diverges.
Wilfred uses power of the Hades to defeat Lenneth and comes in contact with characters becoming a friend, and character and the fate change by repeating a battle.
VP1 had an element that appearance character was different by the degree of difficulty of the game.
The Accused One, a character becomes clear according to a chapter.
I can pick enemy or friend changes by a divergence route by the judgment of the player.
I think that it is the story change of the feeling that is near to VP1 sensuously.
Q:The story of Einherijar(s) be reinforced, too?
A: VP2 was a work mainly on Sylmeria, but, in The Accused One, strengthens a story part of the assistant characters that popularity was high to a game fan in VP1.
Watch a story of various appearance characters in each chapter.
VP1 was contents to watch a person becoming Einherijar(s) from a viewpoint of Valkyrie objectively,
As for The Accused One, a character is concerned with Wilfred directly, and a deeper human being drama unfolds.
Because the action of the player affects their fate, I think that I can empathize with characters than VP1.
Q: The change point of the battle system?
A: The past VP series searched for Field who looked from the side, but will move a character in The Accused One in the field of the quarter view.
And, by the situation at the time of the battle start, the battle participation number of people and battle formation change.
It does not change to fight with greatest four people, but there can be the thing fighting depending on the situation alone.
I think about how you can enter into a battle in an advantageous stage, and it is necessary to move.
It is easy to come to connect the combo surround the enemy well and can fight profitably.
As for the sense, about to connect the combo in turn, tradition of the series is inherited.
It is just decided a combo series tradition surround the enemy by having become a quarter view.
In addition, there is the new element to decide a combo I surround the enemy by having become the quarter view.
Q:Message to the fan
A: The Accused One becomes the game which let a good part and a new element of VP1 and VP2 fuse.
A chief character becomes a human being and thinks that I have you enjoy it for a new sense because it is it in contents of different approach till now.
There is a voice for the fight scene of all characters.
About a sound and a graphic, the member of the Tri-Ace is particular very much.
Yoshinari brothers, Sakuraba and a series familiar staff.
prologue：
[the feather of the goddess]was gave power.
Power of the darkness that the fault of the person brings it.
The power that can win to fight by all means…
The compensation of the power is life of the friends.
Use power for sacrifice, and [the feather of the goddess] dye it black on the suspicion of a person slowly.
All is black, and [the feather of a goddess] finished dyeing becomes the sword (*1) of the Accursed One.
Get power to defeat Lenneth which is the owner of the feather.
But it is one year that I can use power.
The soul declines in darkness if I do not achieve revenge between promises,
and it will continue being torn a soul in a tusk of beast Garm of the Hades eternally…
(*1)The sword of the Accursed One:咎人の剣”神を斬獲せし者”
It is a classic sword in the Valkyrie Profile series that it can acquire when it covers it, and it does dungeon [Seraphic gate] ten laps.
Wilfred：Hero(or antihero)
Despaired of the world and came to hate gods.
The target to promise revenge to God to is Lenneth.
The boy who is convinced that it was disturbed the happy living of the family by Lenneth which took father (Seodole) away.
He leaves the village for the revenge of the dead younger sister for starvation with mother who suffered from psychological disorder mind.
He originally have a gentle character, but shut a heart for revenge.
Seodole:Father of Wilfred.
He loved a family and had a strong sense of responsibility, and it was a soldier respected by neighboring soldiers.
He protect the friend in a battlefield and am killed in action, and it is chosen in Einherijar afterwards by Lenneth.
