Was going to post this, glad to see you guys beat me to it!

As far as US pricing, all three can be picked up at $4.99 each ($15 total.) This is kind of a neat balance; instead of Hard mode EX being cheaper and Selvaria being more expensive (as they were in Japan), all three will be the same price.

We've also got some cool contests set to begin soon... more news to come. :)

$5 for a harder difficulty? Even for the token Valkyria Chronicles fan here, find that tough to spend that.

Do ya'll really think a harder difficulty is the same worth as a brand new campaign?

I can speak to help clarify this a bit, though I wasn't part of the group that decided the prices.

The way I follow it, the bottom line total for these (comparing US prices to Japanese prices) is actually about the same. The only difference is that in the west, Selvaria's campaign is actually cheaper than it was in Japan, while the Hard EX mode is a little higher, which is what balances them all out at $4.99 each.

If you were interested in all three, the cost has essentially not changed from the Japanese cost; I think it's simply a matter of reaction based on price to Hard Mode. Of course, if you are only interested in the campaigns, you can still get them both cheaper than the guys in Japan did. :)

I understand the reasoning behind the whole Japanese DLC. I expected Selvaria's DLC to be $8.

I'm just comparing to other games where they would release it for $1-2 or just completely free. I'm, at least, glad that we are getting it. So, is the US date the same?
