See ToV, BD in particular. All three are really excellent games, and all three have bad demos IMO.
That's just the thing that makes VC my favourite game of the gen this far: often you have to choose between originality and polish when selecting a game. Valkyria Chronicles manages to be decisively original in a genre that has bee somewhat stagnant for a while, while delivering high production values and a lot more polish and depth than expected in all its sub-systems.Cataferal said:Somewhere along the line I caved in, and now I realise how horribly misled my preconceptions of this game were, and how off-putting that demo must be to prospective buyers. This is RPG design at it's finest and most original, and certainly the most addictive I've played in years. It doesn't receive its acclaim by route of a sympathy vote for trying something new and half-succeeding; it's a substancial revolution of a genre that genuinely works, and delivered in style to boot.

It is all going to plan
Although Sega's Valkyria Chronicles did not become a monster-hit RPG PS3 title despite the positive reception of the critics, the game's producer nonetheless expressed interest in producing a sequel to it.
Iin an interview with Famitsu, Nonaka Ryutaro said that he was ecstatic with the way the game was embraced by the Japanese public. Apart from that, he's also looking forward to the debut of the anime, as this, according to him, is a good means to further develop the IP.
Ryutaro also is said to be "very adamant" about not leaving the game at just one title. Still, this does not necessarily mean that the sequel will actually happen. In the meantime, though, you can catch the three new DLC packs coming on April 16.
Hcoregamer00 said:What is irritating is having SEGA spoil a HUGE plot twist in the opening,
I completely agree with this one. Downright idiotic.along with showing the plot twists in the frames before you view them. That kind of takes the wind out of the dramatic events.
AndyD said:Bought it. Its on its way, going to get into it soon.
Any news of a trophy patch?
Durante said:But we can spend a few pages talking about whether or not having trophies would be a good idea and how important it is. I bet that would be interesting!!
More seriously,
88. [PS3] Valkyria Chronicles (Sega) 153,002
was in the just released 2008 Top list. This finally confirms Sega's reported numbers.
levious said:I've read about a spoiler in the opening... is it in the rolling demo or in the an actual in game cinema? Can it be avoided easily?
Volcynika said:From the Valkyria Twitter:
"Coming this week on the SEGA Blog: Valkyria DLC - An in-depth look at what's included in the Hard Mode EX, Edy, and Selvaria content packs!"
Hcoregamer00 said:Only getting the Selvaria pack, nothing more.
Volcynika said:No love for Edy?![]()
Hard-EX baby!Llyranor said:Don't you already unlock hard mode for skirmishes once you finish the game (I should get around to doing that!)? Is this harder mode, then?

speedpop said:What's the point for the hard modes anyway? You lot are akin to those fools who run through FFT using Ramza only. Surely you have better things to do with your time than bash your head against a wall.
gokieks said:The Hard/EX-Hard skirmishes aren't required by any stretch of the imagination - they're more akin of the challenge modes you find in other games (and you need to A-rank the Hard ones to complete all medals).
And having more missions where you need more than just Super-Scout-Alicia is a very good thing.
*is picking up all 3 DLC the day it's released*
