I really like Valkyria Chronicles

Just managed to play 4 recently after finishing 1. Really fun. What are your thoughts on Valkyria Chronicles and whats the chances of it being brought back to life?
Dead series or is there hope for 5?

    Dead series.
    The first game was a commercial failure and that's part of the reason its sequels went to PSP. The fourth game was another commercial failure to the point where it only started selling when its price was slashed down to 1/3 and gave away the DLC for free.

    There is also the fact that (and it's something Ganker and BC fans refuse to accept) the VC series is very mediocte gameplay-wise, being carried by its art style and characters.

    You should be able to make a custom character for the MC and interact with the story
    Also I don't remember if this was present or not but there should be branches and paths where choosing one level over another impacts the war such as having more/less enemies somewhere, different emplacements/vehicles/weapons, etc.

            A bit more personality over windboy, I must admit.

            • 1 year ago
              Anonymous

              Windboy was dragged down by the fact that they decided to stick him with an unecessary and uninteresting autism (seriously, the fricking weather? Its the most boring smalltalk topic) and an unconvincing romance. The responsibility of command + him getting the order to scuff the mission were really powerful moments which made me want to like him more, but I felt like they included those other elements because "that's what's always been in VC games" and it didn't give his character enough room to breath
              Kurt was memorable and he had a fun autism and potential romances in VC3, but I don't think Claude needed them in 4; them playing up the burdens of leadership plus his rivalry with Klaus would have been far better

                He should’ve done it, they already led up to it with the choice he made the chapter before and his talk about how the war is twisting him. It would’ve made him more memorable

              • 1 year ago
                Anonymous

                I really like the tension between the fact that he, in all honesty, should have done it, wanted to do it, against the little reasons which add up to why he didn't-- the ceasefire notwithstanding. Even though he immediately fights Minerva, who's basically a foil to him the entire game, who wants to go through with it, he still really seems to doubt his decision, after everything. They're some relief for Claude in the scene where he meets Walz and Crymaria, but he still almost seems uncertain as if he's done the right thing, even after that moment, right until he goes back into the ship to save Angie.
                It happened only in a post-game description, but the fact that he got demoted for his decision to not blow the ship really is the cherry on top of the decision he made-- the whole world, including himself, expected him to do it, and he chose not to.
                I think that's really good, but it would have been made more memorable if he had longer to dwell on the fact that the ship was a doomsday device-- it might have slipped into anime MC broods all the time territory, but it would have probably put more emphasis on his decision, and made him memorable for his choice not to blow it. Maybe he would have been more memorable if he had gone full psychomode and done it, but that really flows against the optimism which runs through VC's stories.
                Claude's story in VC4's is almost like a Catholic parable about free will, about choosing to do the right thing over the easy/utilitarian/desirable/most useful thing, a bit like Luke in the original Star Wars trilogy

                Good point and well written out. I would’ve liked to see him lose that optimism as a result of the things he’s seen and done and end the game on a shocking note personally but the way you put it makes me enjoy the ending as it is more.
                I too always enjoyed the bit in his profile that he was dishonorably discharged and stripped of rank as while nowhere near the level of Raz and Kai, it gives his story some bittersweetness to it compared to Welkin and Alicia’s fairytale ending

      Even if Valkyria Chronicles wasn't dead, it would never evolve and grow into a respectable videogame franchise due to being a weeb game. A weeb game can never be too difficult or complex because it would turn off weebs, who want their games to be interactive anime and nothing more.

      VC's gameplay and systems have potential, but they would need to be used on a non-weeb game to reach said potential.

    I really liked 4. I don't know if it was just me or if the level design was that much better but it just felt 10 times better to play than 1. I guess the A ranks being more lenient, which give you enough time to beat every mission without using orders, which I found to be the most fun way to play, might have helped. That and the APC being really useful in letting other units besides scouts have a role in every mission

      Meanwhile fans of 1 hated the frick out of 4, and that's one of the reasons it sold so badly.

    I really, really like VC
    I don't think it'll come back--- VC4 happening was already a miracle, but hopefully it gets a spiritual successor
    I only wish that the mechanics were stretched to even further conclusions-- 4 did a great job of upgrading the mechanics of VC1 but t kinda ignored the cool things from VC3. Maybe the Riley/Claude romance could have been cut; I think it is the weakest and least convincing one in the series, and Claude's story really stands on its own by the final chapters
    all things considered, I really desperately want to breed with a smelly oily darkhair girl even though it would make me a race traitor

                It really shouldn't be. The german poet Goethe wrote a book called "The sorrows of young werther", which ends in a suicide. IRL, not very many but some people did apparently kill themselves in imitation of that suicide and connected with that book. Is the author responsible for the actions of the reader? No. Holding the authors of books "responsible for anything and everything his characters do" would just lead to VERY dull stories. Unless that's your intent, which I'm starting to believe it is. Some people just really don't like leaving their comfort zone.

    I've long said that done right Valkyria Chronicles would be one of Sega's most reliable series, along with Yakuza and Atlus (when they properly tardwrangle them to release their games on PC and port them well in a reasonable time. Now I can only wait for the Vanillaware games..).

    VC4 was a solid title and 1 was a sleeper hit, especially when it was a fantastic port to PC via Steam (and modern consoles) , had all the DLC, was the "best version", and had a very reasonable price so that anyone who was open to anime tanks and "totally not an Interwar-esq story" would be onboard. The minutia was solid with each squad member having their own personality (both in story and in mechanics, as personal abilities would be unlocked; I can remember Marina the edgelord doing better when she was away from everyone else and Freesia the flirty brown hottie getting a boost if she was able to flash her breasts at a man nearby, while a lesbian engineer was less confident when men where nearby, and Jane Tuner just wanted to murderhobo her way on through the entire campaign. Of course Vyse and Aika of Skies of Arcadia were nice touches too) , and the mechanics were the better parts of Fire Emblem strategy + action movement , aiming, and resolve. VC4 was a suitable follow up as a "true" VC title, but was completely fricked over by having a 4 in the name meaning nobody but hardcores would be likely to buy it thinking they missed 2 and 3, not available on any modern platforms. It SHOULD have been named 'Valkyria Chronicles: Federation Front" as it happens contemporaneously to VC1 but from a different perspective.

    I've long advocated the series needs to return and proper remakes of VC2 and VC3 Extra Edtion would be a good first step. Make them remakes and not remasters allows them to get beyond the PSP limitations and improve mechanics such as more VC3 EE style classes in VC2, but both titles core settings and content, if enhanced, would be worthwhile w/ PC release.

        That's really unfortunate. Maybe there's some way we can write to Sega and see if they're willing to do things right for Valkyria as well as other series they have some control regarding (ie Vanillaware - I'd still want to see 13 Sentinels Aegis Rim come to PC, but I really want Dragon's Crown Pro and Muramasa Rebirth, the latter being akin to Persona 4 Golden as its best version is locked on Vita).

        VC2 and VC3 EE remakes should be next on the docket before a major iteration of the game style that allows players more chances to pick battles on the strategic level, implement tactics and especially have win conditions that aren't rated A/S entirely on your speed; a little bit of FFT or Fire Emblem wouldn't hurt in terms of choice.

    I love 4 and I actually like it’s characters, I think them being kind of shitty people is an interesting contrast to the VC1 cast but there is a lot I’d change.
    Claude should’ve done the big thing at the end. It would’ve made him the antithesis of Welkin where he chooses duty above all else.
    Also Claude/Riley really fricking sucks. I wish it was VC3 style where you could hook up with Kai instead. Raz would be better with Riley anyway as he’d actually call her on her shit instead of being a pussy

    Varying levels of sexual harassment is just everyday life, I wish I learned this at a younger age. Every job I had has people testing lines/flirting with each other. It's practice because if you never flirt/push boundaries your going to find yourself on a date and not know how to talk to the other sex because you act like you were raised in a celibate monastery.

    Pretending that VC1 was a serious, nuanced, realistic war drama while calling VC4 romcom-tier anime shit is the funniest thing I see on every VC threads.

    The silver lining about VC being dead is that the VC1 genwunners are punished too so I don't feel too bad about the series dying even when I liked the games.

      Besides that, none of those people seemed to have even bothered to playthrough VC4 in the first place-- it's still a fun, campy anime WWII RPG kind of story, but in some places I feel like it explores the more serious aspects of conflict even more deeply than the first

        They're partly responsible for the series dying a second (and final) death so while I suffer, they suffer with me.

        Or you know what? Maybe they don't. Given how they believe that 1 (and sometimes 3) are the only games worth playing in the series) no more VC games probably satisfies them and I'm the only loser in this war.

I especially don't see why anyone would call it worse than 2, and gameplay wise 4 is undoubtedly the most evolved and most well-polished in the entire series

                Clearly you haven't been on VC threads if you haven't seen VC3 fans in action; basically Hollow Knight fans when they invade Bloodstained threads.
                I unironically blacklisted 3 due to them and it's the other game of the series (besides Revolution) I won't play, out of pure spite I didn't like 2 very much; I think that being limited to hardware handheld cripples the VC concept so 3 must be no different, no matter how much is wanked off.

      Weird take. VC4 has way more in common with VC2/3's style which is objectively more anime. VC4's issue was never a lack of seriousness but a lack of new ideas. X-0 is just a more moronic CR and we once again are concluding a story by trying to blow up a major landmark but this time an old homosexual we never even talked to is rambling about his gay lover. Nikola and Chiara deserved to live more than Klaus.

        actually, yeah, maybe they did. They certainly got fricked over more than him; Klaus really seems like he's there only to save Crymaria at the end, and while that works nicely for Crymaria, nothing really happens for him except for the fact that he's exceptionally based.
        Nikola and Chiara are kind of like a distilled sexy-and-ruthless female officer types, while Crymaria is like the distilled essence of the moody and emotionally unstable witch-- its kinda like they split all the bits of personality themeing which went into the creation of Selvaria and parcelled them out into three different characters

    Even as a big fan I don't think they should make another one.
    Unless they make the gameplay a lot less janky. Honestly that wierd inbetween realtime/turn based mechanic makes the gameplay age worse than typical fully turn based trpg like say Fire Emblem

    Speaking of which, Fire Emblem should show Sega that there's an audience for this type of games but they should improve the gameplay.

    Rosetta is only the really weird LGBT character; should have been played for laughs Cpl Klinger in M*A*S*H or like Aoi Futaba in You're Under Arrest! but instead it was played rather seriously.

              well it's not super silly but when she was ncoic for like details n shit, she'd make the squad leader and the like do more tedious work while the guy she was fricking (my suitemate) was given lax work which just about showed her favoritism
              squad leader eventually gets pissed because it happened so constantly and he's like the highest (extended scale even i think) apft scorer in the squad and all and he rats my suitemate and nco girl's sexual relationship out to first sergeant
              i wasn't actually around for that shit because i was put on the brigade military honors team for months so i was rarely around the barracks except to sleep and post on Ganker on my laptop

                >tfw when I've seen people stay on the books for longer than a year despite doing everything in their power to get thrown out including pissing hot on a UA, getting overweight, and just not reporting for duty

                Why is it so difficult to get chaptered out of the army?

                beats me, even when their pay is partially forfeit it's still a waste of money to keep them around at all since they kind of halfass their extra duty shit most of the time
                i knew this one guy who said "I quit" when he was in basic training for a WEEK
                he told me this sap story about how he said in college that he'd "try out the army for a week and quit if he didn't like it" and that was after everyone was getting their ritual scuffing from the drill, which i went through (i was just a hold over waiting on my orders to my ait)
                the funny thing is after like a couple months i think it was, they actually granted him the ability to chapter out finally and he was gone
                dunno how that happened so quickly but i made it clear to him i was not a fan of his either way since he was a sissy college boy

        it's pretty good; short and sweet like Behind Her Blue Flame; if you ever go back to replaying 4, it's worth the time-- adds depth to both Crymaria and Selvaria, and has pretty good rewards-- Crymaria, Selvaria, Chiara and Nikola all get recruited into E Squad, and you get two Dunkel crossbows to give to your Scouts and Engineers

    the fact that the first game got ported to PC but not 2-3, yet the 4th did, has to be some of the most moronic shit I've seen Sony do. Right up there with trying to block the Microsoft deal.

    SEGA should really just drop EW2 and just go fo a 50 year time skip or some shit. Just make a new valkrie that looks like selvaria or some shit make her a clone if you want. We all know the only reason the series is stagnant is that sega realized too late that selvaria is a money maker and need to redo ew2 over and over to include her.

    As opposed to all the normalgays that call this shit 'anime ww2', I want the series to just go full anime and have valkyries as actual units complete with giving everyone laser weapons and shit. Give us more raita designed valkyrie and more fanservice, just let loose. A game made with passion is always more welcome than one made to appeal to moody normalgays. 4 made it clear that ideas were running thin in terms of story, and the level could use some work with being a bit more open with more alt paths.

    Why do so many people, who, presumably used to hate on Jack Thompson for saying violent games directly caused violence, always imply that sexy stuff in games will cause men to do... stuff?
    A. There's nothing that has ever conclusively stated that and
    B. even if it did, what is the worst that would happen? The people playing these games are shut ins and rarely around women.
    It really is just about them seeing something a small amount of men enjoy and wanting to take it away.

        Yeah, I guess, but when did they shift their focus away from shit like MK's violence, heavy metal, and D&D, and towards video game girls and why have they seemingly taken over the entirety of gaming "journalists"? Sure as hell doesn't feel organic.

          2010's. Ever noticed that when people were against the rich like Occupy Wall Street, the articles about race, and privilege became more prevalent? Divide and distract so they can continue on like nothing happened.

            ever notice how people decided to protest bank bailouts at wall street when the new york fed is 4 streets over? isn't it convenient how whenever """bankers""" are threatened the hostility is automatically shifted towards some caricature of a robber baron capitalist? isn't it funny how you can draw a capitalist as a pig in a suit but if you draw a cartoon of a banker the adl gets on your case? really makes you think.

    Games aren’t real. Women and trannies want to control what men are doing because they are currently ungovernable. Being an incel allows men to stop falling for the alimony trap.

      Do you even hear yourself? If you're an incel that means you want to fall for the alimony trap and can't. It's not a matter of conviction but lack of ability.
