Valkyria revolution looks very disappointing...

THe term "if it ain't broke, don't fix it" comes to mind when this game gets mentioned. They've completely messed with a gameplay formula that everybody who played this game loved, it made it a massive fan favourite, and they changed it. I don't know what it is with Japanese developers but they really seem to NOT listen to fans. They've possibly destroyed a franchise that had massive potential to do well.

But Valkyria Chronicles was broken.

I don't know if I would say it was broken.  It certainly had some battles where the difficulty ramped up in a frustrating way, but I wouldn't say broken.  However, again, it is like sega doesn't understand how improve games.  When they sit down to make a new game, it's like they make changes to the gameplay because that is what is expected of them, not because it will be better.  They don't understand how to refine on each iteration... they could have looked at a more consistent difficulty ramp up or other things to improve the solid base they had with the first game, but nope, they just started hacking at the base and now you can hear them yelling timber with revolution.
