Why is Valkyria Chronicles so amazing? I mean I know why it's amazing because I played it, but how could something ever become that amazing? Tell me the secrets behind the wonderment that is Valkyria Chronicles. Thank you.
ok then......... Valkyria Chronicles: Valkyria Chronicles, known in Japan as Battlefield Valkyria: Gallian Chronicles, is a tactical role-playing game published by Sega exclusively for the PlayStation 3 and was developed by Sega WOW's Overworks division. It was released in Japan on April 24, 2008. A European version was then released on October 31, 2008 before a North American version was released on November 4, 2008. The game is set in Europa, a fictional version of Europe, in 1935. Because of its abundance of ragnite ore, which can be refined into a powerful fuel, the neutral nation of Gallia comes under attack from the East Europan Imperial Alliance, which is itself engaged in a war with the Atlantic Federation.] Players take control of an uprising of Gallian nationals, dedicated to repelling the invasion. The game's visuals, which feature SEGA's CANVAS graphics engine, have received a lot of attention - with CANVAS, the game's entire graphical style is built to resemble a watercolor painting in motion Plot In the year 1935 EC, the continent of Europa was dominated by two super powers: The Autocratic East Europan Imperial Alliance on the east and a commonwealth of loosely allied democracies known as the Atlantic Federation on the west. The economy of both powers depended on the precious multi-purpose mineral of Ragnite. Its growing scarcity resulted in the Empire aggressively invading the Federation's eastern border, sparking the Second Europan War. The Empire, with its military superiority quickly put the Federation on the defensive. Emboldened by their progress and momentum, the Empire decided to start a second front and invaded the neutral nation of the Principality of Gallia on its western border. When Imperial forces launch an attack on the Gallian border town of Bruhl, Welkin Gunther, son of late General Belgen Gunther, was forced to fight for his life alongside Town Watch captain Alicia Melchiott. Along with Welkin's adopted sister Isara, the three escaped to Gallia's capital of Randgriz and subsequently joined the country's militia forces. Welkin was given the rank of lieutenant and was assigned as the commander of the newly-formed militia Squad 7 with Alicia acting as his non-commissioned officer. Initially members of the squad questioned Welkin's qualifications to be a commander due lack of combat experience. However, he quickly earns their trust and loyalty with his tactical genius. Together they fight in order to drive the Imperial forces out of Gallia, as well as discover the true purpose of the invasion itself. Gameplay Valkyria Chronicles features a unique turn-based battle system called BLiTZ (Battle of Live Tactical Zones). Between turns the player is treated to an overhead map view, Command Mode, but zooms in to control each individual unit on the battlefield during Action Mode. Movement and other actions are handled in real time during Action Mode, though limited by an AP gauge that varies for each character. Additionally, the player is in direct control of characters' aim during Target Mode, allowing for head shots and other advantages. Taking command of individual units during the player's phase costs Command Points, which can be used to either grant movement to many different units or the same unit consecutively, depending on what the player wants to accomplish. Each character in the game fulfills a specific role - for instance, Alicia is a mid-range rifle-toting scout, while Welkin is a tank commander. There are also a host of other roles including assault infantry, Lancers which are the anti-tank specialists, snipers, and engineers. These various units form a rock-paper-scissors dynamic of strength and weakness. The foot soldiers (Scout, Shocktrooper, and Sniper) are effective against slower anti-tank units; anti-tank units can quickly destroy tanks with a well-aimed shot, and tanks are generally devastating against infantry, whose anti-personnel weapons are unable to inflict any significant frontal damage. By gaining experience and completing missions, the player's army will receive new recruits and their materiel can be upgraded. The environment also factors heavily in combat. In an urban level, for example, snipers can be sent onto rooftops to eliminate unsuspecting enemies below. Tanks can knock down walls and other obstacles to open new paths. Buildings and other structures offer hard cover around which to maneuver. Foliage offers soft cover to reduce the chance of being spotted by the enemy and to confound their aim when seen. As the Gallian forces advance across the battlefield, control points can be captured, giving the player a tactical advantage and offering additional locations in which to call reinforcements. As Welkin, the player can issue various Orders for the purpose of things such as artillery strikes, supervising medics, and improving morale. Characters The player assumes the role of Welkin Gunther, commanding the many and various troops enlisted in Squad 7. After meeting Welkin during the evacuation of Bruhl, Alicia Melchiott becomes one of Welkin's most trusted squad members. Pitted against Welkin are forces of the Empire led by Prince Maximilian. Under his banner is a woman named Selvaria Bles, who is graced by the immense power of the titular Valkyria. Release On September 29, 2008, SEGA of America held an exclusive Valkyria Chronicles Pre-Launch event at the Sony Metreon in San Francisco. Press and public were both invited, and SEGA used a raffle to give away Valkyria Soundtracks, Japanese figurines of the characters, matted art posters signed by the Japanese Producer Ryutaro Nonaka, and an 80 GB PS3. SEGA let the community send in questions before the event, then posed these to the Japanese Producer in an interview during the event. Pictures and a follow-up of the event were posted on the SEGA of America Blog. Supplemental downloadable content pertaining to the game was made available for purchase via PSN. First is the inclusion of a Hard EX Mode, extra challenging versions of existing skirmish missions where the Edelweiss is unavailable. Two side story chapters, "Edy's Mission: Enter the Edy Detachment" and "Selvaria's Mission: Behind Her Blue Flame," introduce Squad 7's motliest crew led by Edy Nelson and Homer Pieron, and the early portion of the invasion into Gallia as seen from the Imperial perspective. Hard EX Mode and Edy's Mission were originally released for the Japanese version on August 8, 2008, while Selvaria's Mission was released on October 31 of the same year. All three were made available in North America on April 16, 2009.

Hmmm, helpful. Okay then, what is the bonus item you get when buying the character pack with Yukimaru, Priere, and the frog guy?
WELL YOKO i have played the game... the game has incrtedible graphics but the characters are always slow moving.......they never have the best accuracy....but it is good enough
yoko, we havnt played it... y u so obsessed with it... surely there must be another game you play...Impact-Legacy
Of course there's other games I play. I just love VC. It was so unique and a refreshing experience in terms of strategy game. The gameplay was superb, the story was great, and the hoardes of characters were a delight to use. It was an all-around awesome game. Some people hate it, and that's fine, but to me and many others it's probably the best PS3 game, or at least top 3.
top 5 ps3 games at the moment (excluding upcoming games) ..... probs in this order IMO 1. CoD4 2. MGS4: GOTP 3. G.R.A.W. 2 4. CoD5 5. Dynasty Warriors 6
What is it with you and Impact-Legacy wanting to answer game information/hints/walkthroughs? Did you both plan this because you both basically had the same intro and Im pretty sure this is the fourth thread stating the same thing today.
impact.... NO THEY RNT these r the real answers........it was realistically voted by real ppl......... 1. Metal Gear Solid 4 2. Uncharted 3. Killzone 2 4. Grand Theft Auto IV 5. Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare MGS4 gets the top spot since its one of the few games that demonstrates the capabilities of the PS3.
ha epic was sittn right beside me wen i was doin it... ha we kept doin it to see if ppl like you would show up... and at least ppl are asking q's unlike you xD
The only problem I have is that this is the fourth attempt to make the same thread basically stating the same thing. Why not post in the first thread made by Legacy instead of making a new one?
legendaryscmt............ it takes up a wopperin 2073600000 bytesepic-hero
Dude, you don't know anything at all. So you're saying that 2073600000 is the size of MGS4? Do you know that that equals to about 1.9 gbs? You got to be kidding me. At least try to figure it out instead of guessing.
[QUOTE="epic-hero"]legendaryscmt............ it takes up a wopperin 2073600000 bytesBrettB7400
Unless I'm doing this wrong, that's horribly off.
I have seen from different sources that the the actual size of the game is 32 gb which equals 34359738368 bytes.
I personally have no idea. I can't remember where I heard it from, but I remember seeing something saying that MGS4 actually filled the disc after compression.

It actually did not fill up the full 50 gb disc. MGS4 needed the 50 gb so it could go past the 25 gb disc but in no way it was even close to the filling up the disc. I actually think that MGS4 could have gone to the 360 with compressing the size as on blu-ray, it was not compressed.
yoko........it is a brilliant game....yes,i do accept that............i just dnt like anime games THAT much................... kno wat i'm sayin?epic-hero
Totally. I feel you 100 percent. You just keep doing what you do, and that is to entertain me greatly.
