I purchased VC in early december and finally started playing January. Well, I just beat it a few nights ago, and I'm still slightly sad that it's all over. This was a game that had had me feeling bittersweet towards the end. I wanted to see the end, but I also wanted the experience to last as long as possible. I've been a gamer for a decade now. This is among the best games I have ever played. It caught me by surprise really. I must say, in a sea of 'insert generic FPS' here, this game is bodly refreshing. The artistic style is superb. I thought the story really picked up and I was definitely attached to the main characters. Gameplay was a blast, and it all felt very polished and nearly perfect to me. Here's copy a blip from my Sega forum post. "I can't help but feel aggravated at my fellow Americans for purchasing the tried and true aliens invading X world FPS games, or shallow western RPG with mediocre stories over this gem. Oh, don't forget the blood and vulgarity! We all know that constant F-bombs and realistic blood splattered all over the walls makes a game epic! I guess I shouldn't blame them. VC was released at a time when the western behemoths were hitting the market. Being a niche SRPG and poor advertising in the US definitely didn't help either."
Anyway, I strongly recommend this game to *anyone*. Grab it before you have to scour Ebay and Amazon for marked up copies. Also- The OST is great. Youtube, "Valkyria Chronicles OST - Succeeded Wish ( Without Vocal )" ^^
EDIT: My wish is that we'll see a prequel (Alicia's parents, Gunther, Largo/Varrot/R, EW1) or Arcadia title in the future. With the poor sales though, I guess this won't be happening. Does anyone think another Japanse title in the VC series will be developed? If so, I'll just have to grab it. |
I agree with everything.
It's tons of fun and I'm about to order the OST.
