Damn, hotness. I wonder how Famitsu will review it.
They already reviewed it -> Valkyrie of the Battlefield: Gallien Chronicles : 8/9/9/8

So this is the Valkyria...
I'm still getting this, though I'll wait for the US version perhaps, as long as it has the japanese voices. If not, I'll get the japanese version.
Another good looking, well reviewed SRPG, from a proven Sega RPG team.

Looks better in motion (especially for the hair in pics 5 and 6).

Even months after the original trailer was released, I'm still not sick of this art style yet. The little touches make it so unique compared to the standard Anime-cell shaded graphics.

Hopefully the gameplay will be just as good

Everyone pay attention for I bring forth Valkyria Chronicles impressions!

Valkyria chronicles have been reviewed in this week's famitsu, scoring a total of 34/40 .
8,8,9,9

the reviewers particularly noting that :

+The game is very refreshing by combining action and simulation game elements together
+Graphics,Scenario,Presentation belongs to the top class games' performance
+Compliment on the originality and unique aspects on the game.
+Large battle stages
+Gameplay can be quite challenging at times

I read the review and the rest of the magazine today. I was so caught up in the 7 pages of SRWZ that I forgot to read the Valk stuff when the mag first appeared on Friday ^-^

Not much more to add, though. Overall they say that the production quality is very high, and while the focus is clearly placed on the story and dramatic elements the battles were described as "surprisingly challenging," with plenty of different possible stratagies and tactics availble. One reviewer did stay "although there are numerous things I don't like, overall an excellent game that really makes hope for the sequals," he didn't mention excalt what he didn't like!

Of course, you're better off watching the plethora of vids that Sega have been putting out, anyway! Especially the 2nd Training vid that just came out gives a really good idea of what the game will be like to play.

Personally I love the idea that the enemies fire at you in real time, meaning you have to hide and wait until they reload etc., and the idea that your guys always automatically fire back at enemies who move close during the enemy turn - there's massive strategic potential for traps and ambushes there.

In the back of the mag there were two more pages of images, including images of the optional soldiers who can be recruited around the start of the game - the "filler" units that don't impact the story but can be used in pad out your forces in battle. What is most impressive about these is that every single one appears to have a unique face - I got a really good semi-Shining Force vibe from this. So I'm loving that.

Fairly recently Famitsu have also started to put an estimation of play length with their reviews. For this it was 40-50 hours to complete and then 100+ to do all the bonus stuff, whatever that may be.

"Graphics,Scenario,Presentation belongs to the top class games' performance"
"Overall they say that the production quality is very high, and while the focus is clearly placed on the story and dramatic elements "
I'm hyped ^_^

always good to keep the hype up for this game. If I could bottle the stuff and shoot it directly into my veins....I wouldn't do that, because it sounds dangerous. Still though, one of my most anticipated of 08

lol. That's pretty funny. Good stuff.

 

@ RDB

Valkyrie Profile is made by Tri-Ace where this game is being made by the Skies of Arcadia team at Sega.


 Whoa, whoa, whoa. The Overworks team still exists? What the hell have they been doing for the last 8 years?


Im not sure if that Overworks team still exists, but I remeber reading a snippet whenever it was annouced at TGS last year about the Skies team being put on it.

@ routsounmanman

The release is actually Fall, which leads me to late August / early September. Disgaea will come in August, so I assume that they will let RPG lovers get the two before the big storm of games later.

 

@ iclim

Awesome news. More and more hype for me.

And snuggle the girls be they short or tall,
Then follow young Mat whenever he calls,
To dance with Jak o' the Shadows."
