That's the original title for Valkyria Chronicles for japan release. Well..it's not entirely bad in the first place. As for today will be marked as the day i finally FINISHED playing VC on my PS3...after bought it in January this year. Hahaha...Turn based Tactical RPG it not a game you can finished in 2 days(well..it depend). I prefer to play it slow & steady as the story itself is the true gem.
I keep saying over & over again that this game manage to pull off every single human emotion from the time you start the game until you see the ending. Not all game manage to do that and not all manage to executed it perfectly. Compare to any other game that used war as a foundation for the storyline, nearly all of the character in this game dont have "GRRR...I WANT TO GO TO WAR & KILL PEOPLE" kinda attitude/motive which pleases me to a great degree.
Some of the main attraction for this fine game are:
1) Water coloured art direction
The game is rendered using SEGA all new CANVAS engine which make it look like a water coloured painting on a canvas which is beautiful.
Yerp..you also get the "RATTA RATTA" word FOC
2) The Storyline
Set in the center of Second Europan War, a tiny country try to fend off the attack by bigger nation and Squad7 is the star in here. Instead of showing Atlantic Federation as a good guy, this game show that there's no 'good' guys in war..all there is a greedy & selfish people who trying to take advantage of others problem. Well..it's the same with the real world we live in anyways.
3) The Emotion
Every moment in this game is full of emotions. Sadness, happiness, envious, hatred, determination, love, unsure and others will accompany from start to finish. Some of the moment will make you shred your tears(or even cried). I wont spoiled this part as it's a part of the main storyline.
4) The Lovely Selvaria Bles
Aside from he big..urm...melon, she really a great character in VC. Eventho inside the game we didnt see much of her, an expansion pack dedicated to her Mission really worth the money tho i must say Empire unit is lame & weak. From he profile, it seem she enjoyed cooking. No scene in game showing about this but in the Anime (yup...VC also got anime) durign the ending credit, i can see clearly chibi Selvaria is cooking something.
Ah yes...the official poster of the anime. A bit different from the games sequence, i hope the anime touch some part of the war that not inside the games.
Just a random pic.. i didnt know Edy is quite famous among VC fans
