Of course it got predictable at times. Valkyria kept me entertained the entire time though. It touched on so many taboos that most games (and other forms of visual media) avoid.

What kinds of taboos?

Racism and Homosexuality are the two most obvious ones.

Homosexuality in that game is dealt with in a refreshingly matter of fact manner.  They're just gay, it doesn't affect anything, that's just the way they are.

And Racism shows up heavily in the story of the Darcsen plight.
