Valkyrie Profile (ヴァルキリープロファイル, Varukirī Purofairu) or Valkyrie (ヴァルキリー, Varukirī) is a series of role-playing video games created by Masaki Norimoto and Yoshiharu Gotanda, primarily developed by tri-Ace and published by Square Enix (formerly Enix).

[1] As the player, one usually takes the role of a valkyrie, one of a host of female figures who choose warriors who may die in battle and lead them into the afterlife, though sometimes one plays as a mortal called upon by the divine beings.

[4] The in-game score was written as MIDI tracks, allowing it to fit easily onto the DS cartridge.

[8] For the album release, Sakuraba used the MIDI originals as reference and redid all the tracks with full orchestration.

In a 2006 reader's poll conducted by Famitsu, the first Valkyrie Profile was voted the 27th best video game of all time.
