What happened to this game? There was a ton of hype for it and then it suddenly died.

Most of the people who were caught up at how cool it looks realized it was a SRPG and now it's just the SRG nuts who are keeping the hype alive?

Waiting for translation can be a pain. I mean this was hyped around the same time Operation Darkness was.

I really am hoping that Valkyria Chronicles is way better than Operation Darkness.

And yes, people don't seem excited as it is a SRPG, but, with good reviews, it has a chance to beat Fire Emblem.

Considering in the gameplay footage the camera doesn't go widely spinning off to nowhere it should definitly be better.

Fire Emblem... will be tough.

They started off about equal in japan... but lately it's dropped off compared to Fire Emblems legs due to the wii being vastly more popular

Meanwhile Fire Emblem sold better in the US then Japan. Which is... weird for a SRPG. I attribute it a lot to the Fire Emblem name... people know the name... it was some fanatical fans.

If Valkyria doesn't get any advertising support... I just don't see the juice there... it would have to beat Fire Emblem handily to not be overcome by it at the end of the day do to superiror Wii legs.

Not sure about others since FE doesn't have others numbers for some reason. Didn't even show up in the charts at release... so with a strong Euro release maybe? Makes you wonder if Fire Emblem is just missing data... i mean...Ioi cover s games that sell like 1,000.

Honestly i don't expect it to launch any better here then it did in japan though.  Hopefully i'm wrong though.  Partly because i probably won't have a PS3 by then and i'd rather buy this for 20-40 in a store in the bargin bin then 90+ in the "rare" bin.
