Europe gets Valkyria Chronicles early

SEGA will be releasing Valkyria Chronicles on 31st October, a fortnight earlier than expected.

This is the PS3-exclusive turn-based and real-time strategy game painted in a pretty watercolour way.

There's a PSN demo on the way next week, which is helpful, given as we know relatively little about the title so far. What we do know is stuffed handily into our Valkyria Chronicles gamepage.

Europe redeemed :O
 
Considering when Fallout and Fable come out in the US, I'm totally OK with that. Money > Time is never a good equation when you're a gamer.
 
People keep touting the artstyle for this game, but to me, it just looks like someone pasted a photoshop filter over regular anime style graphics. Now Okami, THAT was watercolor.

I'm still dying to play it, as it's a new RPG from sega. Like John Davison said, it's like someone opened a door at Sega and went whoa there's all these people who know how to make RPGs here!
 
w00t!

Although there's so much to get from the 24th onwards. Everything is so tightly packed. It's not a money concern, it's a damn time concern!

Looking forward to the demo though.

Fixed.
 
For the few in here still excited about Valkyria Chronicles even with the massive avalanche of good games rolling in the Oct/Nov time frame:

I just received an email from Amazon informing me that my Valkyria Chronicles pre-order will ship earlier than expected (and also cheaper at $56.99 :D ).

My pre-order should now arrive on November 7 (2-day shipping). I believe the original release date was something like November 12.
 
I hope this game is the start of sega being an RPG powerhouse again. :D (especially on DS and PS3 since those are the systems I own. :p)

hmm hmm this is hard.
buy the euro version earlier or import the us for cheaper.

Sega really needs to see the sales for this game sooo if we want games like that in Eurpe you know what you have to do!
 
Normaly I would have been glad. But am i the only one who thinks this was a bad move?
There are so many other top games coming now in October, that I think it will be missed by some or just ignored because people will buy other games.

Yeah was already discussed and I totally agree. I think this will really just sell to the hardcore.
 
I'll eventually buy it, but it'll have to wait a while (prob pricedrop) Allready getting Fable and Fallout. Then there is also gears :-/

Looking forward to this one but my fall schedule for games is crammed right now. I may have to fit this one if the Demo really excites me. I'm a big fan of the developers

Oh, I missed that. Sorry.
Still hoping it will shift a few copies and not just to the hardcore gamers.

You guys better buy the game, or else this early release will all be for naught.
I would have bought it, but sadly my economy won't allow it. =(
I was originally going to import the US version, cheaper, earlier. Well not its only the cheaper part that has the upper hand.

Spielegrotte is your friend? Or you can just use the "Tiefpreisgarantie".

Or get it from Play.com for 56€.

Germany is just angry that this game has guns.

At least you are getting it uncensored.

Wait.. What? I feel like I've missed something important here.
i think sometimes games get censored in germany.

but i am not letting Xater talk me into buying euro versions. bleh.

So I guess there won't be a special/limited/collectiors/whatever edition for US/EU?

It would have been crappy anyways.

Probably a metal box with a soundtrack CD missing half the tunes.
 
Ohh, Okay. Then I didn't miss anything.
I thought the EU version was going to be uncensoured.
Phew, got a bit scared there.
 
Lindsay said:
But that japanese one was so awesome ;_;

There was NO CHANCE that we would get the Japanese Box.

Heck, they probably would never have a Special Edition of this game with just the Alicia figure and the artbook (which was slightly more reasonable)

My friend just got a PS3 today. My first response when he said this to me.

"BUY VALKYRIA OR I'll HATE YOU FOREVER":
 
Sorry for double posting, this is just the most recent thread about the game.

There's a new trailer out today that Sega of America released, an Alicia trailer. I'd upload it, but my connection trying to even download it is taking forever, and I'm a bit busy.

Both your problems have the same source -- if you're European and not buying PAL games from play.com you're doing it wrong. Admittedly the PEGI logo could be smaller but it's not nearly as much of a travesty as the usk one.
(I already have Valkyria Chronicles preordered there of course)
 
Lindsay said:
So the game will come out possibly before the US demo gets freed from the confines of QORE? That stinks! Maybe I should make an EU account afterall. >.<

EU accounts are easy to make. HK is a good one to have also. Japan isn't too hard to make as long as you have a guide (or read Japanese).
