Yeah I thought it was good, definetely not perfect.

With the 2nd one we could've seen it expand the franchise even more as the second one didn't rely on characters from the first game for its story.....and it has a very nice story that could appeal to many demographics.

I cannot comprehend the stupidity of SEGA's decision....DS wouldn't be possible but Wii definetely would have been.....its just hard to understand why they did what they did. And Valkyria Chronicles 3 is not going to do that well...when it comes out PSP will be on its last legs.

Valkyria Chronicles had all the potential to be the New IP breakout JRPG franchise this gen......all that potential was destroyed. But its not all over...SEGA can still make VC4 for PS3 and lower the damage thats been done.

I can only think SEGA thought VC2 being on PSP will lead to an explosion of popularity in Japan...but at the cost of Western sales.....just bad decisions really.

JRPG devs need to realize JRPG'S CAN SELL IN THE WEST....just market them please!

This thread is the perfect example of what many JRPG fans have become.....cynical, bitter, annoying and unappreciative gamers who see themselves are royalty. Oh and then they use a new upcoming JRPG as a beacon of hope....when that doesn't turn into what they hope for the cycle will start again.

How a thread of great SO4 sales turned into this mess I do not know, why did it though? Does it sting you a game inferior to your favourite JRPG is selling well? Why do you feel the need to insult SO4 and other JRPG's while your at it?

Know this, you people have brought upon the so called perceived "doom" of your own genre......yes I will call it perceived as JRPG's face no "doom"......sales figures show this.

Thank heavens for posters like Wagram, robottechheaven, Mad55, Xen, Huaxiong and Xxain.

Feel free to complain about the current state of JRPG's....but don't do it in a thread where we are celebrating the success of one, something which we don't get to do often this gen for a JRPG.
