hahaha, this thread is awesome, especially vagabond's rants towards people who are not planning on picking this game up :D

You should really get this game, beautiful graphics, amazing atmosphere, wonderful story, great battle system, just one of the best RPG games out there for this generation. You wanted to have exclusive RPG's on the PS3, now you've got one!

I'll be buying it, but not right now.

This is one that will be talked about for years to come, it's really honestly that good. For anybody that hasn't bought it, do it. It's even 10 dollars off at amazon. Their are only two valid excuses for not owning this game. (1) you don't own a PS3 (I'll understand if this is the reason) or (2) You fail at life and you always will (this is not a valid excuse)     See larger image and other views  See all product images See 1 customer image Share your own customer images Valkyria Chronicles Other products by Sega Of America, Inc.

See details I fall under the first category. I guess I'm off the hook...for now. I'm a sucker for strategy RPGs so I will assuredly pick this up down the line. No way this can be better than Advance Wars Dual Strike though. My head would explode from sheer awesomeness overload if that were to be true.

They're actually kinda similar honestly.  I mean you even have COs in the vein of "orders" that have similar effects.

You are speaking all of the right words here. I may have to bump this up to numero uno when I get a PS3. Is there online matches also?

Sadly no... it's the one "flaw" with the game really... cause it would be amazingly fun online in versus or co-op.

That's a big flaw, but it's no dealbreaker. I was thinking of MGS4, Resistance 2 and Motorstorm 2 as my first three games, but after the bombing MS2 took, I have no faith in their being an active online community, so much of it's worth has gone to the wayside. Valkyria could be a nice replacement.

Came back just to make this post, lol.

Does North America version of this game have original Japanese dialogue support?

If it does, I am thinking to pick this one up after seeing so many great reviews about this game.

It sure does. :)
