I want to like it....but ive already seen gameplay.

>>381090328
No

I'm not sure if I should buy it. I mean it's only 40 bucks but I could also get crash for that price. I'm not too hyped for either of them but I could need a new game to play.

>>381091257
Don't

>>381093442
Why though?

>>381090328
Why did they get a new character designer?

>>381091257
There's a demo available on JP PSN, but for some reason they thought it would be a cool idea to give the free demo less content than the old one so you don't get to see much.

>>381093863
My guess is because it's a low budget spinoff that probably started as a Shining project.

Hell no

>>381094398
Sounds like nep games.

>>381090328
no. i have taste

>>381095045
Other way around m8.
Nep has "decent" gameplay and atrocious everything else

wait what? Is this a sequel/prequel from valkyria chronicles?

>>381095726
Spin off

Isn't it shit? I don't think i've ever seen someone talk about it positively on here.

>>381094180

>(tactics) Valkyria
>non-MMO Phantasy Star
I used to really liked you games SEGA.

Why are SEGA so bad with this series?

>OST by Yasunori Mitsuda

I'm hard as diamonds.

the gameplay is like a musou but way slower and with only a handful of enemies at the same time so you don't even get the satisfaction of slaughtering literal hordes

>>381095983
Because Japanese hate guns in military setting and as soon as you show guns in military setting, you'll lose a good chunk of your sales. Also if it isn't set in a Japan or Japan-like environment, nor a school setting most children (your primary market) won't be able engage into it. Also Japan is ruled by cute culture which is pretty hard to hand in hand with a violent military setting.

Basically blame Japan demographic audience. frankly I'm surprised it's not Vita.

>>381095983
I too am baffled. It's just one mistake after another:
1. They literally said in an interview that the 2nd game came out on PSP because they wanted to push out a sequel as quickly as possible since the interest in the first was high.
2. Changed the setting because it 'sounded cool' and to cater to a broader audience.
3. Failing to localise the 3rd.
4. Changed genre because the sales of the 2nd and 3rd weren't so hot, not realising that maybe it's because you didn't release it outside of Japan and that you switched to an underpowered machine so the graphics are poor by comparison to the first.

>>381094398

Alright, sold. PC release when? ;_;

>>381095983
Seems to me they have a "Japan" first mentality.

>>381098003
Japan has a Japan first mentality.

>>381097553
>Alright, sold. PC release when? ;_;
SEGA Europe has hinted a future PC port.

No, they remove the fun tactical gameplay from the first three games and turn it into a generic jrpg

>>381098904
sauce?

>>381090328
i rather have a remake of 2 and 3 than this.

>>381090328
first valkyria
best valkyria
/t

A friend of mine pre-ordered this and I honestly feel bad for him. He doesn't even like JRPGs and anime games, but he'll buy anything SEGA puts out that isn't Atlus or Miku because of nostalgia. He liked Chronicles for the battle system, I wonder how far he's get till he drops this.

fuck off Sega
Maybe I'll get it when it's 25 in a week

>>381095983
They keep trying to make it appeal to the Japanese like it when they don't like it.

>>381103723
Appealing to Americans is a bad idea though

>>381103823
The first one appealed fine to the western audience and did better than expected over here while it underperformed in Japan. Everything started going wrong when they upped up the anime to 11 for 2 in order to try and make it appeal more to the Japs who didn't like the series in the first place.

Price isn't the issue, its time. The gameplay is too slow to be Tecmo Dynasty Warriors look alike and the battles are too simple to be strategic chess. It fails at both.

Every single person who played the demo or imported said the same thing. I don't wanna touch upon the lack of budget, because it becomes obvious. Think the length of MGS4 cutscenes with 3D models that aren't animated, not even the mouths.

It's busy work. It's work-work. No payoff. Time is more important than money. I suggest you Google import reviews that tear it a new asshole. This is also my personal preference but VC1 and VC3 had good are direction, Revolution looks so mediocre in character design and aesthetics. The game was a PS4 exclusive until SEGA stopped treating as AAA and wanted to recoup their investment so out comes the Vita and X1 ports.

>>381090328
Play the demo and cancel your preorder

>>381090328
I don't see why /v/ is crying so hard about this most jrpgs these days have shit gameplay

>>381104883
Also forgot to add that no one plays jrpgs for gameplay

>>381104087
I take a dead franchise over one that panders to american pigdogs.

>>381105182
Explains how VC2 is shit on but VC3 is praised to hell when it's still filled with PSP limitations up the ass.

>>381097553
Hopefully never, it's not worth it
t. PC-fag with PS4

>>381104883
JRPG gameplay is at its best right now. SNES, PS1 era JRPGs were the ones with bad battle systems because they were going through a big experimentation phase at the time.

>>381104883
I unironically like Neptunia for it's gameplay.

I have it ordered, but I won't deny part of why is morbid curiosity.

>>381105259
>Series keeps the tone and aesthetic of the first one and survives and does well
>This is pandering to the west

Too bad that Sega is actually staffed with morons like you.
