Just finished finally reading this after originally posting it in this thread and bookmarking it for later. Great read to go through while listening to the soundtrack
Good to see you bring that up again.
You guys couldn't tell?! The music sounds so FF Tactics!

Exactly, Valkyria Chronicles just happens to use more real instruments and vocals compared to Sakimoto's previous work. Aside from that, it is essentially the same.

Wow, that's full of win.
No problem Sega. There are lots of good games I'd buy from you... if you'd localize them!

A bit? It's almost like an enhanced version. You could probably place most of these into FFT and it would still work. I was able to pick out songs that have parallel style and atmosphere between the two games. Go on youtube and start looking up songs and compare. It's pretty neat.

Naturally they would use Selvaria, it just makes sense.

Man, as the anime continues (really enjoying it btw) Alicia's facial expressions are getting more and more crazy:

Good times, the Valkyria Anime is worth it alone for Alicia's reactions.

Dear Sega, please absolutely turn Alicia into this in the next game. She's absolutely hilarious now in the anime yet still retains the adorable cuteness from the game.

Anime Alicia is a carbon copy of every other anime female lead of her trope type. Anyone who still finds that character type still hilarious or interesting has either never seen that trope before or are some kind of nerd fetishist.Unknown Soldier said:
While I still find it a hilarious trope when done right, I do have far more appreciation for the subtlety of the game's Alicia, so yeah, no thanks on the next game featuring Alicia being like this. Let's leave it where it belongs: in anime.grandjedi6 said:

That's some Higurashi shit right there.Darkpen said:While I still find it a hilarious trope when done right, I do have far more appreciation for the subtlety of the game's Alicia, so yeah, no thanks on the next game featuring Alicia being like this. Let's leave it where it belongs: in anime.

Higurashi is probably the only anime ever to make me physically uncomfortable. Good God is the art in that series creepy as fuck to me.

I have no interest in seeing game Alicia changed, but please, get off your high horse. Most people watch shows to enjoy it, not to analyze each and every trope that may appear - and guess what, tropes are common precisely because they work. Nobody's calling Alicia's character a crowning achievement in character design, but that doesn't mean it can't be amusing.

woah, that looks incredibly sharp and hi-res compared to Valkyria Chronicles.

To each their own. imo, that type of character is to animes as "bald space marines" is to FPSs.gokieks said:

I would agree with you, but the only character that I can remember having facial expressions as an integral part of the character is Yumi from Maria-Sama Ga Miteru, and that anime made its debut in 2004. It seems like the Valkyria Anime wants to make Alicia the VC equivalent of Yumi.

What series is this? and is it a good series?
I've watched marimite (a few years ago), and there are no lesbian overtones -- maybe undertones, if you go into it looking for them. It's a shoujo series, and basically a coming-of-age / school life thing, so whether someone likes it strongly depends on how well they can stomach everything that comes with that. In any case, it has nothing at all to do with VC.
Coming back to the Anime Alicia faces discussion that has been going on for a while (and has almost as little to do with the game), a lot of her expressions remind me of Rin in Fate/stay night, but that may just be because I finished that recently. It's fairly standard tsundere stuff.

Yes, it is superb. One of my favorite series of all time. The slow pacing and the deep development make for a rich experience.
Basically it is the opposite of Valkyria Chronicles with its fast pacing and poor development (especially of the Villains).
Quixzlizx said:
Assumptions are a bad thing, Maria-sama Ga Miteru is one of the best Anime franchises to come out in years. It doesn't rely on the moeblob crap that pervades anime and has a rich storyline that is refreshing and fun.
You can boil anything down and make it sound stupid.
Example: Valkyria Chronicles is apparently about an empire with an inept leadership that fails to capture a small country, and there are racist overtones.

Gah, this is off topic >_<
Strawberry Panic and Maria-sama Ga Miteru are two completely different shows. One is aimed for a primarily male audience (Strawberry Panic) so has silly subplots and lots of pantyshots. The other is aimed for a primarily female audience (Maria-sama Ga Miteru) and has rich character development, lots of drama, and will emotionally suck you in. Assumptions are a bad thing, since the two could not be any more different than each other. One is a piece of crap series, the other is a quality experience that showcases some of the best in anime (if you can deal with the slow pacing).
Your assumptions are the same as what people said about Valkyria Chronicles.
"I don't know about Valkyria Chronicles, the strategy-rpg subgenre with cute anime designs doesn't seem very appealing to me. Jeanne D'arc is another example, and I didn't bother with that game either." Notice that this assumption makes the same assumption you made about Marmite and Strawberry Panic, which is that Valkyria Chronicles is the same as every other strategy RPG out there, while ignoring many fundamentals that make them so different.

Nice, that mission is the easiest in the game if you use the proper strategy.

If Wal-mart did it, the game probably price collapsed (which means it should be everywhere).
Expect other places like Best Buy to follow suit sometime in the future.

The moment I saw Faldio in the game I thought that he was going to be the VC man slut who hit on every living being. Instead, he was very well developed and was the opposite of his pretty boy looks.
The VC anime turned him into what I assumed he would be like in the game :lol
"Strategy"? Pfft. Deploy units you never use to get their extra command points. In particular do deploy Largo, even when the mission briefing gives you a clear reason to never even move him once.Hcoregamer00 said:
In terms of "strategy" this is pretty much the dumbest mission in the entire game.
