I hope that you feel like you're taking territory from the enemy and expanding your own, because that's something I didn't feel like I was doing in the first game. Story wise, yes, we took territory from the enemy. But it had no impact on the gameplay, and it didn't feel like we grew bigger. I would like to really feel like taking territory matters in this game and is benificial to the player in some way, like expanding our base and it's functions, and being able to recruit new people from specific territories we've taken over. (Not that they just show up automatically once you've completed a new chapter, but perhaps doing some mission in that area and give the new recruit a proper story introduction, or put in an add in the local newspaper agency to trigger the event, etc.)

The famous composer that they're getting sounds interesting, because they already had a very good one for Valkyria Chronicles 1 (Final Fantasy 12 composer).
And they seem to be using a different artist this time for character design, and so far I feel this is a negative change.

I'm really happy that they are continuing the franchise though, and on console/PC.
But since this is like a completely new game, I don't know how much I'll like it until I see it in action.

Yeah this is a very different type of game, and its easy to make the distinction with the names in japanese since the normal games are called "Senjou no Valkyria Chronicles" and this new one is called "Kakumei no Valkyria", (Valkyria of the Battlefield and Valkyria of the Revolution in english),

So i already adjusted my expectations for this game, i am not expecting a new "traditional" valkyria chronicles game and neither am i expecting it to be any similar to the previous games, im just expecting a GOOD JRPG in the world of Valkyria Chronicles, (and i know this new game is set in a different world but its also supposed to be very similar to the previous one).

Regarldess of the changes i am still hyped, plus the fact that they are making a distinction between the two types of games (Senjou = SRPG and Kakumei = Real Time JRPG) means they arent changing the formula, they are just adding a new branch of games (kind of like a spin off game), so the traditional VC SRPG still exist and if this game is succesful we might see a new Senjou no Valkyria Chronicles.
