VC getting a 7 is fine from Edge, since The Last Story is better than VC and btw, so is Xenoblade. I can't decide if TLS or Xeno is the better game actually, they are pretty close, the ironic shit is that the best JRPGs from this gen imo are on Wii lol........... so fucked up, so long are the wonderful days of the SNES, PSX and PS2 eras with JRPGs I guess. I mean shit, I'm playing FF6 and Breath of Fire 4 on my phone on emulators again and they are still better than most JRPGs from this gen lol.

It's a bit silly comparing Valkyria Chronocles to The Last Story or Xenoblade really...

I could understand comparisons with FFXIII, but VC... Nah.

Sure you can, they are all tactical RPGs if you think about it, well, I don't know if you've played TLS or Xeno to compare though, I can easily compare the 3, hell if you bring FF13 into the equation, all 3 are better than FF13 lol.

Wait a minute, Machina's not in love with Valkyria Chronicles?

Nope, though I expect it's better than pretty much all the other RPGs on that list in the OP. Beautiful art style, and lots of potential with the Empire characters (tho I've no idea if any of it came to fruition), but the dialogue was ridiculous and cringe-worthy from the off and the gameplay wasn't good enough for me to push on through it. The only game I've played this gen with dialogue more embarrassing is Killzone 2.

I didn't enjoy Lost Odyssey either by the way, though at least I completed that one.

Your not liking Lost Odyssey was known to me; just didn't know that about VC.

I've not played neither of them, but I've seen gameplay videos.

TLS and Xeno both look like traditional JRPG's, although TLS has a very unique battle system. You can roam your world map or whatever, towns, talk to people, visit stores... Etc.

Valkyria pretty much has you doing missions, and in between you upgrade your squad at a menu and get your story through cutscenes and story boards.

They're very different.

So they think it's the best RPG of this generation, come on Nintendo localize

In all honesty...what is it up against?

 

Maybe ToG and Xenoblade, but they haven't reviewed them yet (to my knowledge)


and valkyria chronicles. best RPG of the gen on wii, yah! wonder which I'll like better between this & Xenoblade. I;m definitely getting both. Both releasing this year WILL drive wii hardware.

TLS is also mission based, has no world map and is basically a RTS RPG.  It actually probably has more in common with VC than with Xenoblade or FFXIII.

If this is true, then it's even higher on my radar

From what I've looked up, which I admit isn't all that much... Spoilers >.<, it looked like your traditional JRPG, but this is good news
