Please make it for the PS3, since I don't have a PSP D= pumped about it anyway.
How is the second one?

I hope they keep the school setting or at least have the main character start out in one and then graduate so he/she can be part of the actual war.

Just don't have Anisette in 3. She has the most annoying voice I've ever heard in my life. Edy's voice was bad enough, but for Anisette that voice actress kicked it up a couple of hundred terrible notches.

Yes. I just started playing the 2nd one and it gives me a Sakura Wars vibe even more than the 1st one did (and that gave me a huge vibe). It's a lot of the same staff so it's not surprising.
I'm actually really hoping for a return to VC1 style, story wise and art, and its a prequel. I'm replaying VC1 now and there is a lot of potentially great backstory there.
spoilered for those who haven't played the first one, though for one WHY THE HELL HAVEN'T YOU??!! And why are you in this thread then?

Would love to see what led up to Gunther being a war hero and I can tell the story behind his wife/welkins mom dying during the war would be super sad and emotional. Would also love to see the dynamic of him and Theimer and more of that story, and maybe find out who the man in cemetary really was. Then you have where Alicia exactly came from, she ended up in Bruhl so that couldn't have just been blind coincedence. Finally you have the story of Largo, Varrot and Frederick. All this could make a very compelling game storywise and there is enough sadness and death there to keep it from turning it into the anime freak show VC2 is

It'd be pretty cool, I think, if VC3 has something like a world map system that would allow you to reach other regions, possibly unlocking new classes related to the nations you'd reach, or unlocking Civilization-esque "natural resources" that would be replenished every X turns and could be synthesized to make nice equipment. The 'book' system worked well in the first game, but I think it's high time the Valkyria Chronicles series got into some deeper world-building.duckroll said:

Maybe it'll be a PSP Mini. Playable on PSP and PS3! Everyone wins!Luigiv said:
They better have Sakura Wars cameos this time. Or a crossover... that would be fine too. I wouldn't mind having a koubu or two to go up against some tanks. 
Yeah, I've thought that since I saw the battle system footage for the first game. Valkyria Chronicles is a pretty clear attempt to try to appeal to westerners; imagine someone explaining to Sega that Sakura Wars won't do well outside Japan because westerners don't like dating sims, but they do like WWII shooters, and you basically have VC.

For me to see Valkyria as any successor to Sakura Wars is for them to add dating sim elements like the Sakura Wars games. Heck, even adding something like the Persona 3/4 system would be enough for me to say "Valkyria is the successor to Sakura Wars."

Erm, is this even true? Red Entertainment did the development and planning for Sakura Wars games, and they're not involved in any way whatsoever in Valkyria. Which staff are the ones who worked on Sakura Wars in the past?
jiggle said:
Eww, get that RPG garbage out of here. VC should stay a strategy game first and foremost without RPG clutter. Attempts to add more RPG elements into VC2 already made it worse than it should be.

Town explorations would be wonderful.
I know I said it before, but giving an option to choose a male or female lead would make the game better. Especially if the dialog and the character dynamics were changed to make each experience very different from each other (ala Persona 3 Portable).
duckroll said:
LOL, very true.
It was an experiment that blew up in Sega's faces, hopefully they learn to "keep it simple stupid" for VC3

duckroll said:
Yup, which is why I could imagine a continuation of the Valkyria franchise kills Skies of Arcadia fans inside (since it is the same developer team).

With overworks at the helm you are more likely to get cameos from the games they worked on rather than having general SEGA cameos. With that said, it would be pretty neat for some Sakura Taisen cameos for VC3

That's not true. VC2 had a ton of Sega tie-ins, at least in the JP version. There were stickers for Ryu ga Gotoku, End of Eternity, etc. There's also a PSP2 character you can unlock. Nothing from SoA or Sakura Taisen though. I'm pretty sure Red Entertainment owns or co-owns the rights to Sakura Taisen anyway, since they're the actual creators of the franchise.

I did not know that, but I did notice that quite a bit of unlockables are attained through a Phantasy Star Portable 2 save file (which I don't mind since I am buying it anyways). Well, I guess they would do some cameos from the current crop of sega games.
I certainly hope they have cameos and characters from VC1 and VC2 characters. Selvaria and the Empire would be pretty easy since it does take place in 1935 and the empire reaches more than just Gallia. Having younger versions of the VC2 cast should be easy to do. The problem is having cameos of the VC1 main cast IF the game is taking place concurrently with events of VC1.

Giolon said:These were my hopes exactly on what VC2 would be before it was announced. Hopes and Dreams meant to be shattered and all that jazz.
With Valkyra Chronicles they developed such a deep lore that they really could go anywhere:
-The origins of the Valkyrur
-The betrayal of the Rangriz line which led them to power
-The origins of the Empire
-The origins of the Federation
-The first great Europan war
-The current second great war between the Empire and the Federation
.....and that is just the potential prequel saga. They could have made 8 games and they probably would have not developed all the cosmology, history, and lore of the Valkyria Chronicles world.

Giolon said:
Yeah, the world of Valkyria Chronicles is still waiting to be developed further because there are so many questions marks when looking at the cosmology and history of Valkyria Chronicles.
It is unfortunate they decided to make a sequel when the prequel has enough material to make games until the franchise burns out.

Hcoregamer00 said:
Let's not get too ahead of ourselves. Remember what happened when they announced some 6 or 7 Sakura Taisen games at once and only 3 of them made it to the light of day?
Giolon said:
Yeah, just seemed like a stupid way to incorporate a school-girl skirt into a design somewhere (Colette). Though I do remember something in the 1st game, like Welkin mentioning he went to a military academy like everyone else (some countries in EUR like Germany still require people to serve for a couple years if I recall correctly), so it's not the setting itself that bothers me, but rather how it's handled.
Hcoregamer00 said:
See, and you know what all of that screams? Episodic content done right through regular DLC for VC1. I would gladly pay $15 or $20 for 8 - 10 new "chapters" per episode covering any and all of those topics. I don't need any type of overhaul from the VC1 game so just release them as add ons for that. Sega would make all the current VC fans happy and it would save them money not having to develop a new system and cut way down on distribution costs and be a safe bet for them.
Of course, this is Sega we are talking about so rational and smart business decisons are usually lost on them.

Ok, so my Japanese is still approximately on par with that of a goldfish's, but I don't see anything on the list that would read as 'Senjou no Valkyria 3', so... help?
