Valkyria Chronicles

XD So glad Jann is in it... can't wait...

But yeah, it'd be awesome if Vyse was in it but I'm not holding my breath....

OH SNAP!!! DLC is dated!!

Looks like, April 16th, it's a bit expensive considering it's 3 separate downloads, but for Valkyria Chronicles, I'd pay double.

Valkyria Chronicles DLC marching to PSN soon - PlayStation.Blog

EDIT:

WRUP: Joystiqyria Chronicles

News: Sega Interested in Valkyria Chronicles Sequel - Kombo.com

Ah, ah! Yes please!

I remember back around the NA/EU release they said that they want to do a sequel depending on how the game did in the international markets, and I know it didn't do too hot. It is nice to hear that they still really want to do a sequel though, because I sure as hell want them to do a sequel too.

Though with the ending I can't see the original cast and crew returning, at least not entirely, though I think we already discussed possibilities elsewhere xD

Why not?

A new war begins, then everyone will drop their lives and fight for Gallia once more.

Have you two forgotten that Jaeger still has to free his country. While I can't see many of the Gallian characters returning... I could see some of the more mercenary type characters in the game coming back... maybe even Vyse XD *crosses fingers*

No.

A enemy for the next game shouldn't be that difficult to come up with. Gallia can either have a war with the Imperials or the Federation.

I didn't forget, I'd love to play from that perspective, and yea I can definitely see those sky pirate characters returning for an encore.

I'm thinking that a sequel would be similar to how Fire Emblem Radiant Dawn was to Fire Emblem Path of Radiance... I know Eva would know what I mean by that XD lol.

Watched the third episode just now... I'm kinda getting used to the differences and such... but one thing really bugged me...

Largo was using a rifle instead of a Lance... UNFORGIVABLE!

what what what!!?? which fan-subs are you watching the ones I watch haven't released the 3rd episode yet...

Also, I still need to play the DLC... but I've been getting sick and feeling like crap, so yea it sucks.

I've been watching it online on the ZOMG Anime site... but the particular fansub they have posted up is pretty sucky.

Finished A-Ranking the Selvaria mission line today...

Vyse is definitely getting the Ruhm woot!

Also, I download the VC fansubs here Doremi Fansubs, they're not as fast considering they still don't have episode 3 up, but maybe they'll be better for you, plus they have HD versions

XD We've probably talked about this before, but who do you use in your squad, Mav? I mean, we're both at that stage where all we really need to do is use Alicia and the stage is done well within 1 turn, but let's just pretend we're still just playing the game for the first time XD lol...

TANKS

Edelweiss (Welkin) - Got it fully upgraded (of course) and equipped with the Reinforced Armour. It's outfitted with a Carbon-Coat Plate and Ragnite-Coat Plate for tonne of extra critical defense, a Stereoscopic Sight for extra accuracy and an Extra Magazine for an extra Mortar round.

Shamrock (Zaka) - My one is equipped with the Anti-armour Ragnite Rounds. It's fitted with a Carbon-Coat Plate for extral critical defense, a Periscope, Monocle Sight and Firing Calculator for a tonne of accuracy and an underside Magazine for another Morter round.


SCOUTS

Alicia - Gotta use her, but since she's the best scout in the game and is really cute XD... who's complaining? Got her equipped with a Gallian-S20R since you can get up close and personal with a lot of enemy units.

Wavy - He's really good. though I don't use him much since it's mostly Alicia and Noce up in the front lines... but he's a great camp defender. He's got a Gallian-S20.

Noce - I make use of his yearning for Alicia and have him back her up whenever she needs it. He's got a Gallian-S20.

Freesia - Don't use her much but she's proven useful in a couple of missions when you need extra scouts. Got her equipped with a Gallian-S20.

Aika - I'm a fan of Skies of Arcadia so having Aika on the squad is an obvious move for me lol. She's a great scout and I use her whenever I need a good scout where I can't use Alicia cause she's off doing something else. Got her equipped with a Gallian-S20.


SHOCKTROOPERS

Rosie - Love Rosie, and of course you have to use her anyway. If it wasn't for Vyse, she'd be my favourite Trooper. Got her equipped with a Mags M30R and VB FW 2(g).

Alex - I don't use Alex much at all until the later levels to support Vyse since they're friends. Got him equipped with a Mags M20R and FF-8.

Vyse - Along with Aika, he's an obvious choice, but he's so damn awesome XD. Got him equipped with the Ruhm and VB FW 2(g)... he's unstoppable!

Lynn - I like Lynn for some strange reason... dunno why, can't place my finger on it... don't use her much though lol. Got her equipped with a Mags M20R and FF-8.

Jane - Ruthless, but don't use her much. Got her equipped with a Mags M20R and FF-8.


LANCERS

Largo - Great guy, got him equipped with a Theimer M20R.

Jann - Love Jann, I end up using him more than Largo lol. Equipped with a Theimer M20R.

Nils - Nils is pretty cool but I hardly ever use him. Got him equiiped with a Theimer M10R.

Walter - He's such a downer but in a funny way to keep in the squad, hardly use him though. Got him equipped with a Theimer M20.


ENGINEERS

Dallas - I hardly use Dallas but it's just funny to have her around Alicia lol. She's got a Gallian-S20.

Nadine - I have her on as support for Zaka in the Shamrock. She's got a Gallian-S20.

Claudia - Favourite engineer and the one I use the most. She's so damn cute, I love having her on the squad XD. She's got a Gallian-S20.


SNIPERS

Cezary - Some people don't like Cezary and while his attitude is pretty bad, he gets the job done. Got him equipped with a GSR-20R.

Marina - Best Sniper ever. Got her equipped with the GSR-30R.

Catherine - Hardly use her but there are a couple of missions when she's really useful. Especially the War without Weapons one. Got her equipped with a GSR-20R.

Haha that's too true, anyway here I go...

-----TANKS-----

Edelweiss (Welks) - Obviously it is fully upgraded, and for my final upgrade I believe I went with the Reinforced Body 3, for extra defense. The reason being I loaded up on accuracy boosters in the equipment section, I got the Ragnite Plate for defense but the rest is all accuracy boosters, I've hit other tanks in the weak spot at basically draw distance on some maps.

Shamrock (Zaka) - I'm pretty sure my Shamrock is set-up exactly like yours lol, as it was the most logical way I could see arranging its equipment slots. That being said I hardly use it, it served a key purpose in one of my strategies for the mission where Alicia goes Valkyrur but that is about the only important role it had.

-----SCOUTS-----

Alicia Melchiott - Gallian S20R - Well for one thing most of the time she's a mandatory character, but yea, she's easily the best scout in the game and eventually becomes game breaking to a point. The S20R suits her, because you lose out on range, but her potentials increase her accuracy so it becomes a moot point, plus the S20-R has increased damage on armor, which means Alicia can take out tanks... with a rifle.

Musaad Mayfield - Gallian S20 - This guy is a beast of a scout, he's got the S20 for more range and accuracy than the S20-R, but he has a couple potentials that I love. Bloodthirsty let's him potentially attack twice for the cost of 1 CP, and Power Scout if he has 5 enemies in sight his stats go up, which makes him great for the large maps.

Ramona Linton - Gallian S20 - Ok, she's not really that good at all, she even has some pretty bad potentials so I don't use her often, but you'll find I have a lot of females in my Squad... just because.

Freesia York - Gallian S20 - She's better than Ramona and she has the potentials Desert Bred and Fancies Men, so she works great when paired up with Musaad above on the desert missions. She also has Concentration, which can basically turn her into a sniper for a turn.

Cherry Stijnen - Gallian S20 - Cherry at first glance isn't all that special, but her potentials make her pretty damn good. Rosie Lover boosts her attack near Rosie, which is good because you always deploy Rosie. Fancies Men means she works well with Musaad, and Skilled Assassin gives her boosted attack and evasion when she shoots at someone that doesn't notice her.

Aika Thompson - Gallian S20R - If Musaad weren't so awesome, Aika would be my second most used scout instead of third. While the other scouts work well with Musaad, Aika works great with Alicia. Aika has Runner's High, which increases defense when her AP bar is less than half full, and she has Double Movement, which let's her range the entire map with Alicia. She uses the S20R for more damage, because her range and increased defense on low AP allows her to get closer to enemies.

-----SHOCKTROOPERS-----

Bridgette (Rosie) Starks - Mags 30R/VB FW 2(g) - While Rosie isn't mandatory most of the time, you'll usually want to take her for the extra CP, and she's damn good too. Strong-willed makes her take very little damage from interception fire, and Double Attack, well it finishes bitches off if they manage to survive the first volley of fire. Also gotta love the flamethrowers and how they just torch enemies even behind cover.

Hannes Salinger - Mags M30R/FF-8 - I like this guy because he sounds like a goddamn grizzly bear, and he works in versatile situations. His Mid-Range Skills potential, means he can still be effective when enemies aren't around, while his Imp Hater and Daredevil potentials mean he's a terror when surrounded by enemies. Oh and did I mention he has the Ultimate Damage potential, which gives him a permanent increase in damage?

Vyse Inglebard - Ruhm/VB FW 2(g) - Fuck Vyse is the man, he has some of the best one liners in the game, Challenge Lover means that he can charge into enemy fire and be friggin lethal. Super Damage ups his damage output and he has Double Attack, just in case some Imps are stupid enough to survive the first round. Vyse almost single-handedly killed the last boss for me. Fuck Yeah Vyse!

Lynn - Mags M30R/FF-8 - She is a pretty ideal base defender, Trooper Killer gives her an advantage over other ShockTs, Hard Worker means she can potentially act twice in one turn. She also has Ambush Spotter which lets her spot hiding enemies as good as scouts, and if she takes a lot of fire while defending there is even the chance she'll use Full HP Recovery. Solid base defender.

Jane Turner - Mags M30R/VB FW 2(g) - I like her because she has Sadist
-"Inflicting pain on others fills them with a sublime sense of pleasure."
She also has Fearless Will which boosts Defense and Attack when within range of enemy interception fire, and she too has Full HP Recovery. I love Jane.

-----LANCERS-----

Largo Potter - Theimer M20R - While he has some good potentials, he isn't as good as the other Lancers and I just use him, because of the CP boost, but you gotta love... "VEG-TA-BLES!!!"

Jann Walker - Theimer M20R - Holy crap, Jann has the funniest lines in the game, and besides that he is a bad ass Lancer. He has Largo Lover, and you always have Largo for the CP, so Jann gains an attack boost there, plus Jann has Ultimate Anti-armor which is a permanent boost in attack power. Jann is deadly, Sweetie!

Hector Calvey - Theimer M20 - He's pretty good, because he has Super Anti-armor which boost his attack, but he also has Tank Destroyer, which means he will OHKO any tank by hitting it anywhere, if the potential activates.

Audrey Heitinga - Theimer M20R - She can be argued as the best Lancer in the game, right up there with Jann. She has Tank Slayer which increase her attack power, and she also has Ultimate Anti-armor, I've OHKO'd some tanks with her, without even hitting them in the ragnite radiator in the back. She also has Mooch which can randomly add a round of ammo without needing to be resupplied. Not to mention, she's pretty damn cute too.

Elysse Moore - Theimer M20 - She can also be pretty deadly, she has Ultimate Anit-armor, Tank Killer and even Double Tank Damage, which lets her damage the armor and treads at the same time. She also has Extra Shot to add some ammo. I mostly just use her when I like to mix it up though.

-----ENGINEERS-----

Knute Jung - Gallian S20 - Knute is actually pretty annoying and at first glance he makes a horrible engineer because of his Metal Allergy potential which makes him lose HP next to metal a.k.a. tanks like the Edelweiss, but I found that he works pretty great in supporting the foot soldiers, he has a couple decent potentials to increase his attack ability. He also has Super Defense making him durable and Double Action, which when activated let's him act twice, whether that be attack twice, heal twice or a little of both.

Nadine - Gallian S20 - She is the best engineer in the game in my book. Darcsen Bond, let's her work well with Zaka and Isara. Repair Boost makes her the best at fixing up the tanks, she also has Super Defense and Double Action like Knute. Then she has Rear Guard which boosts her abilities when she acts last, all in all she's the best engineer.

-----SNIPERS-----

Marina Wulfstan - GSR-30R - I love Marina, she's awesome, I always liked the sniper classes in various games, which makes me a little sad that they aren't as useful in this game as in others. That's not to say they don't have their uses though. Marina is the best of them all too, most of the time your sniper is going to be isolated, and her My Way potential increases her evasion alone. She also has Extra Shot so she can replenish her own ammo and doesn't need an engineer for that. Nest Master increases her attack when she's on top of a ladder, and Penetrator let's some of her shots ignore defense, which means enemies in cover die by one shot still and... I've OHKO'd a tank with Marina. On top of all of that, she has Ultimate Accuracy, so she NEVER misses.

Catherine O'Hara - GSR-30R - Catherine is no Marina, but she's not as much of a douche as Cezary, and although she's in my squad now, I rotate between her and Emile and Oscar. She's got Penetrator like Marina, and she has Accuracy Boost, so she's fairly accurate, even though it doesn't matter with the GSR-30R anyway. She's got Roof Hunter which makes her good at taking out elevated enemies, and she has Ammo Refill, so she can replenish her entire store of ammunition. She's okay, but Marina is fucking awesome.

About the Edelweiss, I've found that I don't need to pack the Accuracy stats that high since even with a larger firing circle things tend to hit the target dead on anyway lol.

I totally agree about how the Shamrock is wasted and about Alicia and the S-20R. I have a couple more in stock but I don't think the others can take advantage of it as much as Alicia can. You want the others to have a greater range for safety reasons.

Musaad is great but I find he's wasted because of Alicia's awesomeness... also, you chose Ramona just cause she's hot I can diggit... as for Cherry, I've never actually used her before, I should give her a try. I like the sound of Skilled Assassin.

Hannes is aright, but I find Alex to be better because of Melee Skills, Ambush Spotter, Neutralise and Ultimate Damage as a set. I mainly use Vyse as my all round killing machine and Alex as his backup. But other than that we have the same taste in Troopers lol.

I should take a look at Hector since he goes well with Vyse and Alex and he does have some pretty cool potentials. I only really chose Nils cause he's voice by Steve Blum (...so's Zaka actually lol). As fpr Audrey... she'd be a better choice than Walter lol, but Walter is funny XD And I've never used Elysse.

Okay now... Knute is useless and annoying. Go with Claudia who has INVINCIBLE. MUCH better support character. Plus Claudia is super cute XD she and Nadine are the best two engineers by far.

As for the snipers, I always use Marina except for a two missions... the first being The Battle at Barious where I use Cezary since he's okay with having other people around, I use him to take out a group up north, high and then make him retreat lol. Then the other mission is War Without Weapons where I use Catherine. Other than that, Marina all the way... cause the hunt begins XD

Kyubi is in the game? =O

On the engineer list (The ones marked green), she's the last one.
