“Thinking about death for the first time. It is called youth." Futaro Yamada "人間臨終図鑑"
I don't know if it's my first time, but this game certainly my youth.
The interesting thing is that this VP was released at the same time as planescape:torment. (The CG movie is very similar). The PST was existential; the VP is deeply moving, as it was youth through death.

The following contains spoilers.

Now, the main topic. Profile is a strange title.
But when you consider how the story goes, it's certainly the most accurate title.
Warriors from all walks of life, all dying for different reasons. The protagonist, the Valkyrie, judges them, selects them and leads them into new battles.
You should follow the game system and keep sending your trained warriors to Valhalla. It's exemplary. You are an example of a worker. Your boss will be pleased.
But if you manage to cheat the system enough to avoid upsetting your bosses, you'll find yourself in for a surprise.
Ragnarok. Just before the apocalypse, the Valkyrie, who has been on the side of judgement, is put on the side of judgement.
I love this moment, this scene towards the end. I don't have a particular taste for tragedy, but I still like VP as a tragedy.

The combat is also very attractive. It's like a fighting game, with lots of movement, character coordination and special moves. It's the kind of combat that only tri-Ace can create.

I don't want to mention the sequel here. It's barren.
