We are getting an Edy and Selvaria DLC sometime next year.
Not to mention that Valkyria is getting the anime treatment in Spring.
Here is hoping that we can get Valkyria in another iteration in the future.

Why would the pedo fans prefer Edy? She looks way too old, and there's a 12-year old girl in the game already for those types. Funny enough, there's two posters in this thread with tags relating to that. ;PRpgN said:

I think an interesting way of giving both players a diverse army, and having a slightly more symmetrical scenario, would be to have a sort of 'unit draft' prior to starting the game. Naturally, this sort of thing wouldn't be required (it could be time consuming), but I think it could be fun to make your own group of unique units versus your opponents group of unique units, and it'd allow some of those attachments players have from the singleplayer game to manifest in multiplayer. They could all be the same level and have their potentials available, to keep things equitable.
Naturally, multiplayer isn't an easy thing to make if you've chosen not to half-ass it. Even with recycled assets, making balanced maps and getting the orders and systems to function fairly isn't something you can do overnight. And time spent on that would detract, to some extent, from the singleplayer campaign.
I believe it's important that any Valkyria Chronicles game has a strong campaign and story above all else, and if multiplayer would come at the expense of the singleplayer, it probably isn't worth it. But even as a limited extra (almost like a slightly improved version of a Zone of the Enders 2 VS mode or something), it'd be a welcome thing that could work well and be very fun to play with the right tweaks.

You better not be implying that I am a lolicon/pedophile, because I got this tag for Selvaria.
Which is the POLAR OPPOSITE of what those people are.

You don't have pedo in your tag, so no. And your Dahlia avatar was and is still better.Hcoregamer00 said:

Well, ironically enough people would quote my avatar implying that I was a pedophile, so I will stick with this avatar for a good long time.

No, they will do something even more stupid by comparing this to Gears of War and Resistance 2.
At the very least they will make a passing reference to one of those two games even if they are not in the same genre.

To whoever makes direct-feed screens: could you please take a screen off the first chapter scene in which is showed the picture of general Gunther? Thanks. ._.
Xplay gave it a 4/5
I was playing Left 4 Dead, so my attention was divided
Pros:
-Looks nice
-Strategy feels fun and fresh
Cons
-Voice acting & story are hit or miss
-Sometimes you may get frustrated on some missions / feel the enemy got cheap shots on you (I'm not completely sure about this part)
I'll be sure to keep an eye out for the text of the review and video. No references to other games like Gears 2 or anything

Don't worry about it, you are supporting the game and we will treat you like family.

What?
The English and Japanese voice acting are both strong.
The story I can understand, but voice acting????

Well, she's basically been made into the Valkyria blog spokesperson so her personality is rather decently developed for a side-character and her VA has a small but solid following in Japan.
She also hates Rosie and panics, but on the flipside, she's one of the few characters who can go down to 0HP and instead of dying, recover with 100%HP. Also with leadership, her DEF goes up so she has quite a bit of potential　(no pun intended) for a shocktrooper imho.

I just watched the review, it was definitely hit or miss.
They don't mention the musical score or the amazing character development.
The review was far weaker than IGN's video review because the length was too short to explain the breadth of the game experience, the review gets 2/5.

Since anime goes for the cheap ratings by pandering to the otaku audience, here is what I am predicting.
-Attitude: Edy
-Rich girl: Susie
-Crazy girl: Wendy
-Non-threatening old man: Coby
-Antisocial: Marina
-Starlet: Ramona
-Lolita: ???? (have no idea)
Oh man the Chapter 13 battle can be brutal if
Sucks that there wasn't any warning, but I don't think they could have logically added it in.
you capture the middle base at the end of your turn, leaving Welkin's tank a sitting duck in front of one of those anti-tank guns. Thankfully I saved when Selvaria showed up before I ended that turn because you get blown up at least 80% of the time if you can't move, and obviously you got one turn to take over the final base in the event you survive.

It was not hard taking over the base. Send a lancer there to attack the heavy tank's weak spot, then send some scouts to grenade the base.
That's what I used, and it was a success.

Of the
3 Selvaria battles, I thought it was by far the easiest. Particularly once you know that taking the middle base causes her to appear, then you can plan around that. Anybody making a run for the main enemy camp from the middle base is out of her range, so unlike chp.7 you don't have the worry that you are having to try move troops and take shots and she might throw out some interception fire. For my final run and had 3 scouts and a lancer, with the scouts using up their grenades on the foot soldiers and the lancer hitting the tanks radiator. Also a grenade to the back of the bunkers, hits a fuel cell, and takes them out in one hit.
This game gets my vote for best of Fall 2008 so far. Will see if the ending disappoints.
I have played Bioshock, LBP, R2 and MS2. They all offer very different experiences but Valkyria pulled me into the game and never let go (I got fed up with Bioshock once it became draggy).
People, please buy this game. T_T

How's that art book pre-order bonus from gamestop? It goes for like $30 on ebay, but is it worth that?

Lucky me, I had to bitch and moan to get my artbook.
Those three gamestop employees deserved every thing they got because of what they did.
