[PS3] Battle Field Valkyrie: Gallian Chronicles (AKA: Sega trying an RPG? LOOKS GOOD!)

Originally Posted by Source

Pictures!:

Cell-shaded graphics, but the shading technique looks fucking AWESOME. The story is set in a different universe of course, but the technology and setting obviously is akin to World War 2 (the European Campaign in particular).

Gears of Desu, it seems~ Headshots, tank units, anti-tank units, soldier units, snipers, heavy machine guns, etc. This looks like a god damn blast. To top it off?

NO FUCKING SONIC. No butchering classic series (I'm looking at YOU, Shining Force). Something fresh.

The fact that it has minds from the Sakura Taisen games in addition to the director from Skies of Arcadia makes this an instant must-buy for me. If the PS3 doesn't pick this up, it'll be almost as big of an atrocity of Front Mission 5 getting swept aside. The system needs an RPG (and this is a healthy mix of that and other genres), and this is just what is needed. I look forward to this coming to the states (assuming it gets announced).

I hope this is a turning point for Sega. Their games have been laughable after the Dreamcast fell through, but this is the first interesting game of theirs since that has intrigued me.

Edit -- This game is a nice amalgamation of genres. If someone wants to get antsy about it, just move it to general video games. But it's strategy/action/RPG/etc =O

Jam it back in, in the dark.

Yep, it's coming:
MAXCONSOLE - Playstation 3 - Valkyria Chronicles announed for the West

Made my day =D

There's nowhere I can't reach.

Hoping for dual language track =V

This thing is sticky, and I don't like it. I don't appreciate it.

I'll welcome Skies of Arcadia 2 IF this game is as awesome as it looks. Props to the creator for the awesome cameos ='D

I am a dolphin, do you want me on your body?

Still hoping for dual language tracks =I Weeaboo, Japanophile, whatever. I just don't want the came to be ruined by horrid (and common) voice acting.

I was speaking idiomatically.

omfg <333333333333

How ya doing, buddy?

Hah. Awesome =D I wish it came out a bit earlier in November, since I'll end up getting it midway through my time off =x Still, I am very much pleased with the game's press coverage. I was concerned that this would pass under many radars, but it seems to be getting some good attention (well-deserved it seems).

Anyone know how long the game is?

FELIPE NO

The Medic is from another game o'course :3 Note the bio's later entry that the medic is actually a set of triplets, named Mina, Gina, and Fina. Often seen chatting with Aika & Vyse. Sup Skies of Arcadia

What, you don't want my bikini-clad body?
