Incline The Valkyria Chronicles Thread

[Riskbreaker]

Jesus, this thing looks just so damn unappealing, in almost every possible way. I shan't shed a single tear if this never gets released in teh West!

Seems like the idea behind VC's combat was just too good for this world.

 

[LESS T_T]

FWIW, they call this a new "Revolution" series separated from "Battlefield" (VC) series. Hope the VC remaster is a sign for a new turn-based VC entry in the future.

The yakuza series is doing fine even though sega doesn't give a damn about it.

Yakuza series is awesome because it allows to play pachinko. (And golf, and other stuff.)

If it's not turn-based, then what's the point of this game? Why slander the Valkyria IP with this JRPG shit?

Sega way of thinking:
1)Jrpgs make a lot of money
2)transform popular ip into a jrpg
3)????????
4)Profit

Sega way of thinking:
1) Fags played it for the waifus anyway. Gameplay? What gameplay?
2) Add MAOR waifus
3) ????????
4) Profit

Improved.

There is no way a JRPG will have more waifus than VC.

This is the same publisher that released Resonance of Fate around the time two juggernauts came out -- FFXIII and God of War 3. I love a lot of the stuff that SEGA puts out, but they always make baffling decisions. We'll be lucky if we ever get a sequel to Binary Domain.

I heard they were making a new VC game, I got hyped.

I see this news, I die inside.

When will Sega stop ruining their franchises with the force of a thousand sonic games?

[abnaxus]

No remaster without making Alicia's tits as big as in the animu.

 

[Morality Games]

Apparently not an SRPG like VC, but a JRPG

 

[Morality Games]

I mean really Sega owns ... all Atlus games. Why is it so imperative to resuscitate VC as a JRPG?

 

[Wirdschowerdn]

Did u rike eet?

It looks like every newshit (post-PS2) jRPG. Needs bigger swords, though.

Good job, Sega. VC is officially dead.

 

[Kefka1134]

YAY! I'll be playing this hopefully.

 

[Kefka1134]

Oh did not read the thread *cough* *cough* oh my! How terrible they transformed such an already pretty JRPG like game into an actual JRPG, how faithless!

In all seriousness, VC was apparently always up and down after the first one, this one looks way closer to the first one rather than the more generic anime-y ones and that has me pretty excited.

 

[HotSnack]

Nothing says alternate WWII setting like running into battle against a tank armed with nothing but a sword.

(Insert impoverished country joke here).

Right.

I guess these are some great news for those JRPG aficionados that try play each and every JRPG, and who only managed to stomach VC's gameplay due to visuals and writing (and enormous collection of waifus, of course).

It's Shining Force's fate again.

What's next? "mods will fix it"?

 

[Kaivokz]

It's Shining Force's fate again.

The Shining Series actually had two more not-completely-retardo games released in Japan after III. Shining Force Feather, which was a turn-based tactical RPG like the earlier games. And, Shining Blade which actually used a combat system very similar to Valkyria Chronicles. Unfortunately, neither of them were of very high quality and both were on handhelds.

While Sega may make baffling business choices, they probably know their primary (Japanese) audience pretty well. All you have to do is look at the sales figures for the recent Fire Emblem game; the version that was marketed as easier and more modern sold far more than the version that tried to go back to the roots of the series (different combat objectives beyond 'kill the bad guy', no option to 'grind' by playing old maps (limited money/exp), etc.). The easier one also has a lesbian or something.

 

[RuySan]

I don't know why, but i can't find this game to be that much fun. Maybe it's the lack of character costumization (whole classes are leveled instead). It also doesn't seem to allow for many variations in tactics.

I agree, and we have Koei which made Pokemon Conquest based on Nobunaga's Ambition, regarding shift from original series.
Should we blame Sega and Koei for producing these, or the ones who massively buy them?
It's pretty exhausting.

Those tits are massive.
