As much as we love to knock Square-Enix for its incessant rehashes and poor online mode implementations, the publisher can still put together a trailer guaranteed to knock our socks off. Never mind that it's all CG -- who cares when it's this well executed?
The lonesome music and desolate scene work together in this clip to effectively convey that something epic and desperate is taking place, that you'll not only miss out on a great RPG if you pass on the game, but a great experience. That's not to say we're assuming Valkyrie Profile: The Accused One will automatically be a perfect release; we just appreciate the money and effort Square-Enix invested to get us hyped.
Even if you're unfamiliar with the tri-Ace-developed series, how could you not be interested after seeing a trailer like this?

Who cares that it's all CG? I do. This doesn't pique my interest in the game at all - I want to know what the game itself is like.

It's nice-looking, sure, but I'm hardly wowed. Looks like they literally just took one minute from the game opening...not much effort involved there. (Guess it doesn't help that I'm not someone who gets off to Squeenix FMV.)
Music is okay though, and I'm sure we'll see more informative trailers later.

Was that perfect release comment a Valkyrie Profile 2 joke? ;P
I can't wait for this game!

Yay, Lenneth! Trailer looks awesome. I must admit that I never thought a VP game would be created for a Nintendo console; I am quite happy about that.
Although I am not a big fan of Square Enix, tri-Ace makes great games and the Valkyrie Profile series is incredible. Hopefully this installment in the VP series will not disappoint.
