I'm interested too, and Valkyria Chronicles is one, if not my favourite title of recent times *points at avatar. Imca is still one of the best.*.
I'm not going to kid myself though. While it can say to draw inspiration from Valkyria Chronicles, this doesn't quite look like the successor (spiritual or not) that I'm looking for.
From the initial gameplay videos, the textures look...what's a word for it? ...rather chunky..and those damage numbers too...yikes.
Not really digging the static character portraits conversation cut-ins too.
Still, like others, I'll be keeping an eye on first hand impressions in Japan. I might go for it if it proves to be somewhat decent.
