I've only played Valkyrie Profile: Lenneth and Valkyrie Profile 2: Silmeria. However, since Lenneth was a remake, I guess I could consider that as the original, too. But out of the two, Silmeria was more fun for me. It provided much more freedom in the game, especially during battle. You could move throughout the whole field, and you aren't unable to move like in Lenneth. And Lenneth seemed turn based, while Silemria seemed to be only partially turn based. Sure, if you run out of AP, you have to get attacked or move to get more, but you can kill an enemy before it attacks. Plus, the damage output is amazing. My Ehrde dealt over a million damage with just one Smashing Shot!

The story of Silmeria, I felt, was superior to that of Lenneth's. Lenneth had each different Einherjar with a different story, all of which seem to be non connected and quite irrelevant to the main story. And even the main story wasn't that great: Lenneth, the Valkyrie, had to gather souls of heroes on Midgard in order to prepare Asgard for the Ragnarok. Silmeria, on the other hand, had a very interesting plot: Silmeria, the traitorous Valkyrie, had run away from her duty, going against Odin, and shared a body with a princess named Alicia. And I loved how in the end, Hrist had a change of heart, and she decided to join your party. The whole plot of divine revenge was rather enticing. For once, I actually cared about a story in a game; most games have horrible plots.

Overall, I loved both of them, but I found Silmeria to be much more fun than Lenneth. But Lenneth is still an excellent game, in my opinion. Both were worth getting, and I regret nothing.
