I read something from here:

recently that made me wonder if this game will have some school type activities as well, or if that's just part of the story.

"The game's concept is to contrast the normal daily life at the school with the abnormal world of war."

Almost sounds like a Persona type concept, but that seems out of place for the setting.

looking good =)

well those are only from the magazine so they are not very good qualitywise but, they sure looks sweet to me. damn i want this game so bad.

Forgot the link to the article - http://www.famitsu.com/game/coming/1225908_1407.html

I don't like this. It looks magnificent on HD...

Holy shit that looks horrible! How can something called Valkyria Chronicles look that ugly?

Just comparing pics of the first VC and these, they look nearly identical to me. School life could be daily military training and recruiting new comrades.

And? Since when does a person who owns 39 DS games and 21 Wii games care about graphics?

This game has leveled up in my estimation, it gains-

interest +1
