—Was Nanami an orphan?
Nanami was adopted from an orphanage by the Shinto priest, who intended to make her the heir to the family shrine. When Minayo appears as a spirit she is an adult, but she actually died before she was born, and was stillborn. So Minayo and Nanami had never met before that.
—Minayo possesses Nanami’s body…
This is the same Soul Transfer that occurs in Belenus’ story. In the final scene where Nanami is standing in front of the shrine and looking up at the sky, that is Minayo in Nanami’s body. They look exactly the same so I guess it’s hard to tell. (laughs) As she died before birth, Minayo never had a body to begin with, you see, so Nanami was able to offer hers.
—What was Nanami’s personality like?
She has a ladylike demeanor, with much inner strength—your stereotypical demure Japanese girl.

Footage taken from an emulated playthrough of the Android version via Bluestacks. The mobile version released in 2018 has high resolution artwork and can be played at higher resolution than the prior PSP and PS1 versions. So I figured the game deserved a proper recording in higher image quality.
I played the game with a Dualshock 4 (the game and Bluestacks supports game controllers). Menus require mouse movement, so I used the DS4’s track pad for inventory management.
How to play the mobile version on PC with a controller:
1. Download and install Bluestack
2. Set up a Google Play account and download and install the game
3. Connect your controller to your PC. If you use a Dualshock 4, I suggest using DS4Windows that also allows you to customize the trackpad and other things.
4. Set up Bluestacks Settings to the following: Under “Engine”, first choose OpenGL, then scroll down and select the ‘ABI setting’ to ‘ARM’. Then go to ‘Preferences’ and enable “Use game’s inbuilt gamepad controls”
5. Launch Valkyrie Profile Lenneth in Bluestacks with your controller connected. Menus are mouse-driven/trackpad-driven, combat and platforming are controller-driven.
