The third game, aka the best game in the series, never got localized.

>>381271072
they got a porn artist as a concept artist

>>381271652
I want to believe that Sega will one day localize this either as a PS4/PC remaster. It's the best game in the series (except for the segmented PSP maps)

You do realize most concept artists in Greatest Nippon built their portofolios and their reputations that got them hired as legit artists by drawing porn, right?

I'm hopeful that the rumors of a remaster are true and we'll see something once TGS arrives.

>>381271072
SEGA being a bunch of moronic imbeciles as always

>Hey! this original series did pretty ok, better than what we were expecting and the fanbase loves it. Let's make a sequel!
>Ok, but let's put it in the system no one except nips care about and is already on it's way to being fully hacked allowing full piracy on the console.

>>381271713
He's character designer. And it's plus because concept artists are shitty photobashers and thiefs

>>381271964
He probably think drawing porn is something bad and not requires a lot anatomy knowledge.

>>381271072
They hired an artist that draws holocaust victims with the anatomy of Bayonetta and fleshy basketballs on their abdomen.

>>381271072
They keep killing selvaria

>>381271713
But he was on board from the beginning. If anything the designs got worse the less he was involved.

Amazon ratings don't mean shit, especially amazon japan ratings when nips review bomb those on the regular.

>>381271072
it went from good game with an anime art style to a full blown nerd virgin weeb series after the first game

Grossly incompetent Sega executives who don't understand business and hate money.

>VC 1 does surprisingly well in the west, does ok in Japan
>"Lets make the game appeal more to the Japanese who didn't like the first one in the first place! Also lets put it on the PSP so that the nice art style looks like shit."

>"Lets make VC 3 more like VC1 since 1 sold better but lets not release it in the west where it sold better."
>VC3 flops
>Series is kill

Revolution looks like they had another game originally and they heard peoples cries for a new VC so they threw in a shitty looking Chinese knockoff Selvaria in the game and renamed it Valkyria Revolution and thought that would be enough.

>>381271713

Those amazon bombs sure do matter right?

>>381273730
Blatantly false.
3 is better than the first game, is far more balanced, has more depth, and content that comes with it it.

It is the peak of the series so far.

>>381273738
Really? How about check amazon

>>381273915
>balanced
Not him, and I've only played the first, but what balance is there in the game? I didn't find the story to be hard enough to require mad strats, only the challenge missions.

>>381274219
Scout being OP

>>381274326
Really? I dunno, I just played through with whoever my favorite characters were so I had some from every class except engineer. What was so OP about them? Movement?

>>381274219
The problem with the first game is that the class abilities are poorly balanced and scouts can break the game incredibly easily.
You can get scouts from the start of the map to the end goal in only a few turns because of how strong they are.
Other classes just aren't worth using.

In normal play this doesn't mean much to most people, but it's there and it's real bad.

There's also things like missions grades being determined by how quick you were at completing the mission rather than things like enemies defeated, bases captured, etc.

>>381274219
Just use the Awaken Potential order on Alicia and find out.

>>381274528
If you play "normally," the game is somewhat balanced (with allied lancers being the weakest fucks in the game). Once you try being daring with scouts/machine gunners you'll learn that a buffed scout (Like, say, a baker from not Belgium) can literally solo every map aside from boss battles like Severia and the fuckhuge tank.

>>381275093
>with allied lancers being the weakest fucks in the game
Level 20 lancers with the anti-armor potential don't fuck around son.

>>381274569
>>381274895
>>381275093
After getting the level ups for all the classes I started S-ranking or whatever the missions with my standard comp, so I guess I never really tried to meme my way through. Guess that answers my question, though I agree with >>381275275
that lancers are decent enough, if only because the AI tends to sit right next to each other, though I guess a well-placed 'nade does the same. Being able to one-shot a tank without crits was still pretty useful though.

>>381275275
Why bother when a level 10 machinegunner can do the same job with slightly better positioning?

>>381275275
This! Jann, Audrey, and Elyse are amazing units.

>>381275578
Was Jann the one who said "Die for me, sweetie"? I love the voice lines. Were there different ones for each character? If so that's amazing.

>>381275573
But they don't? I'd like to see you get the same results vs boss fights with a level 10 shocktrooper. Even then why waste multiple CP vs a late game heavy tank when you could just snipe them with a lancer?

You don't even have to position with the 3 best Lancers, you can one shot tanks from half way across the map.

Guess you're right. In all honesty I don't think I leveled them that high, so maybe they get a powerspike I didn't get to experience? Also enjoyed the running around and getting behind cover that the gunners provided.

>>381276279
I agree to some extent that the balancing during the early game is a bit shit. Scouts can basically handle everything and act like standard foot-soldiers even though the game treats them as if they're recon units. Meanwhile early game shocktroopers are slow and barely do anything that a scout can't, lancers have launchers that can't go in a straight line and do less damage than a tank round.

Shocktroopers start getting better once scout rifles start requiring more shots to the head to kill and once they get their flamethrowers. Lancers are technically "always" good however even late game they're inefficient, only time they get god-tier in the endgame when you unlock the super anti-armor bullshit and the accurate launchers.

>>381271847
Yeah, like they localized PSO2.

Oh wait.

>>381273915
>more balanced
They are all balanced like shit mate.
VC2 tried to tone down one of VC1's problems of overpowered as fuck orders and made them useless instead due to high cost, meanwhile broken shit with abilities and fencers being the worst offenders.
VC3 looked back at VC1 and thought "man people really loved to solo the game as Alicia huh?" and gave you special snowflake powers to the MCs with the worst offender being "Valkyries" in general where you pop your hp/ap refilling super powers to run past huge part of the maps just like VC1 except now you are literally invincible. If you feel like it you can also use that to just make enemies kill each other easily.

Animu game with great combat and story. Creators were idiots and thought the demographic they hooked was weebs when in reality the game appealed to everyone. So they stupidly proceed to develop sequels strictly for weebs with shit gameplay.

Standard Japan, really.

>>381271072
one of the things is that some people though that swords were cooler than radioactive flamethrowers.

>>381277513
Things like Open Fire and Valkria Awakening are limited to once per map if you're lucky and you can't spam them.
They aren't as broken as you make them sound, and VC1 scouts are still far more broken. You aren't going to be running from one side of the map to the other using Riela. It just isn't possible with the maps being segmented.
You're heavily exaggerating.

>>381273191
I'll call the game shit just for rehashing Selvaria and then killing her off again.

>alright guys, we made an engine that looks pretty good at a time where there's not much competition on the platform yet. The new ip is a bit rough, but it's alright-y popular. What now?
>PSP sequel. With less maps, more anime.
>Genius!

Porn artists become the best anatomy artists because of their nature, they learn and perfect drawing the bone, musculature, tendon, fat layers, etc; and learn to stylizing it, and learn to pose the body in difficult views a simple concept artist won't dare.

As Raita perfected anatomy, now he/she just scales around bone and fat layers, never being happy with his current style. He just cannot draw balls deep in ass any better, its the peaks of artistic fucking, Its now his curse of never being able to improve.

Then we consider this genius draws machinery and war machines concepts just a well. What a artist.

>>381279094
How can a womanlet such as Imca be so perfect?

>>381271964

>>381271072
>What the hell went wrong with Valkyria Chronicles?
The same thing that happens to a lot of series, they tried to appeal to a wider audience.

>>381276003
For what it's worth that character is supposed to be a borderline anorexic giant. Her boobs obviously wouldn't be anywhere near that big irl but oh well.

I hardly remember maps with 0SP and there were a bunch of 3SP maps around.
And yes you can pretty much run from one side of the map to the other with Riela because the game loves to do alt path nonsense with a heavily fortified "hard way" and one with less / worse enemies but take longer to run as the "easy way."
You can laugh in the face of that nonsense and run past all the crap they throw at you from trying to rush with the Valkyrie mode.

>>381280170

Not only were there not a bunch of 3sp maps around, but you you can count the missions that had 3sp on one hand. I'm looking at the game right now. Most of those 3sp maps are during chapter 12 as well.
The most you get is 2sp and it's still not as common as 1sp maps.

You're wrong again anon. Why exaggerate so much?
