Hah, god damn it. Found a 4 turn strategy for Chapter 4 but it relies on lvl 2 Lancaars to deal an exact amount of damage, and mine are lvl 3. Oh well.

Combat animation is pretty bad for JRPG standard, what the fuck they are thinking for switching this franchise into another shitty Final Fantasy clone.

Atleast the combat animation will be tolerable for turn-based, it looks very shitty for Action JRPG.

They should have learned from Nintendo's Metroid fiasco that you shouldn't greenlight spin offs that depart from the fundamental design principles of the series unless core fans are sated. Otherwise you're heading into the market against a lot of antagonism.

I finished the game and now I've moved onto the Selvaria DLC. Took around 45 hours in total, and those hours included retries and skirmishes.

I really like the game's presentation and art style (but only when playing it in 4K, with the no canvas/no borders/no streaks and high-res character mods). It played really well on mouse and keyboard, with some awkwardness in menus and driving the tanks. The turn-based nature of the combat was really well done, and should be used as a model for other games like this. Imagine a 3D Commandos that used a system like this.

My main criticisms would be the cutsey-ness of the characters and storytelling. Conversations often lead nowhere, there's a lot of bullshit about vegetables and pig creatures, and most of the latter part of the game involves characters stood around moralising at each other.

Main story was pretty good though, would have been better if they didn't use real worldy terms like 'Gallia' (e.g. Gaul/France) and 'Europa', and if the map didn't look like a near match for western Europe. The Valkyria/Darcsen stuff was so different from our history that I don't know why they just didn't make the whole thing a unique world instead of some weird hybrid of WW2 like it is now.

It's bizarre how they took names of fairly obscure Dutch and Belgian cities for their country and city names.

Overall the animu is better.

Yes and no. The story was Garbage, but i kind of liked it in this strange fucked op surreal way.

2 also had the best character development system, mostly because it was the simplest. Kill enough things as a class to spec into the upgraded version of that class. Always an underrated system.

This reminds me I'm still not done with VP1

The mission where you have to destroy that big tank is literally the worst.
It's basically a turn-based Hidden & Dangerous with animu cutscenes but with a better tactical approach.

It truly is amazing how often the oft-used quote by Antoine de Saint-Exupery is right on the mark.

Just beat the first one. A solid strategy game that I appreciate because it offers game-play that manages to be different from the norm and yet still enjoyable. The only problem with the game is that the end-game levels dive into typical overpowered jrpg boss territory. The last bosses also tend to have abilities that break established rules.

Whole lot of nothing.

It's been out for two weeks, reviews are mixed at best.

Whole lot of nothing.

Does anyone know how to get in contact with the people that made the VC3 english patch? I would like to improve the text overflows, typos etc and translate the DLC and other untranslated content. I need their help with decrypting some of the DLC files (XOR encryption?) and I NEED their tools (if they made any) for editing the .mtp files because SEGA decided to increment the bytes of the text by 1 so hex editing these files manually is way too cumbersome.

You tried via the site, ofc?

[BreadGrill]

Yeah, they don't respond there but I just found an email I missed before so I might try that.

Series died after the first one.
Just like Dead Rising
