If you've been following my posts, you'd notice I'm mainly keeping my attacks on the TC himself. Supporting the game's 10/10 from RPGland or something and preferring it over rpgfan's 88/100 was pretty ridiculous. RPGfan was a bit more realistic about the game and I pretty much agreed with it as a whole. I'd say a 9/10 is pretty close to pushing it, although not undeserving. The 8/10 is the reasonable sweet spot IMO.

So how exactly do things like Skills and Classes work? Are classes set or can be upgraded? (sort of like Fire Emblem/Shining Force). Are there a good array of weapons?
This game has definitely got me excited... it feels like a true evolution for SRPGs.

Classes can be leveled to gain more orders or potentials. Orders are special commands that you can issue during battle that'll augment your ability. But it comes at a cost. Potentials are special abilities that can occur if you meet a certain requirement on the battlefield. Say, there's a character that hated males. So if she was near other male soldiers, her performance will decrease. Anyway, after a certain level, they'll rank up. While weapons and equipment is on the limited side. You'll level up their weapons as a set as well. At most you can only customize the weapon they'll carry. You can also upgrade their armor, but it's as a whole for everyone. The most customization is available on the tank.BlueTsunami said:
So it's not quite the full true evolution of SRPG, but it's definitely changing the movement and engagement concept. Just lacking on the customization.
Certainly better than booting up Tactics Ogre and going through that epic saga all over again.kiryogi said:
As for the review scores, it's up to the individual whether they are gullible enough to respect the writings of a glorified receptionist that tags some numbers at the end of their tirade. I don't see why someone like you needs to hold the flag of destiny by trying to change what other people see, hear, or think, unless it seriously affects your mindset. Let them live their own lives.
Personally I don't give a shit about review scores (you'll probably find more than 100 posts by me on GAF to that effect - that's also why I didn't include any in the OP), but I know that some people do so once one was posted (and the lowest one so far at that) I wanted to point them all out. And RPGLand's score is one of them, whether you like it or not. And it's not at all like they hand out 10/10 often.kiryogi said:
I find it passing strange that you appear to be unable to process the fact that some people (eg. reviewers) liked the game more than you did.
Also, if by "insane hype" you mean the GAF impressions on the first page, then I am not to blame -- I can't help it if a very large number of GAFers were completely captivated by the demo. Just go back and browse through the demo thread and you will see that my .gif accurately represents the general feelings.
Durante said:
Oh I can process it fine. But someone's gotta be the voice of dissenting opinion. Who better than one of the original players! I don't know why for sure, never minded it in other titles, but the excitement and positive impression here is just asking for disappointment somewhere along the line. And I'm here just to keep that in a sorted manner.

I guess we all need a negative nancy, but yours just takes it to an almost unhealthy level.
People are not expecting this to be the best thing ever, they just played the demo and was pleasantly surprised by the demo. It was like Bioshock in that the demo created more buzz than hype.
If people had extremely high expectations after playing the demo, it is understandable. I don't think anyone will be burned by the game because no one is expecting the greatest story ever told, the best soundtrack ever made, and the best script writing this side of Lawrence of Arabia. Hell, the demo does a good job in that it doesn't give you high expectations, it gives you a taste of the game experience that will undoubtedly be better as the game move along.

Yoh just has too much time on his hands or something. :lol
It is a great game that pretty much any fan of the strategy genre could appreciate. The hype is perfectly reasonable because the game is one of the most refreshing changes to the somewhat stale SRPG formula in a long time. And it accomplishes it with a huge amount of polish.

Exactly! For this alone it should be applaused. I never expected the game to be perfect in every single way. But it brings new things to the genre that SRPG hugely needs. Added with small attention to graphics, good gameplay and great music and you have a winner. There aren't many (S)rpgs who succeeded well and being innovative this gen.
Ps. I pre-ordered my copy. If things go according to plan, I should get it on thursday or friday
I could get mine in 2 days if everything goes according to plan. Hype increasing! And I arranged everything so I can basically play from thursday until monday without interruptionRpgN said:Ps. I pre-ordered my copy. If things go according to plan, I should get it on thursday or friday
Just wanted to say that I picked up my Fallout 3 CE but asked after (and received) the art book for Valkyria Chronicles, confirming what someone had mentioned earlier about Gamestop receiving those early for pre-orders. Hopefully everyone else that did pre-order from them will have the same experience and won't have to worry about greedy shits hoarding them for themselves.

Wow, didn't expect it to be sent out so soon from thehut. Cheap price and early delivery? Niiiiice!

How can a game I have never heard about, ever, and played the demo and was impressed be too hyped? There is a difference. Halo 2 was too hyped. This game was a pleasant and unexpected surprise. I played the demo and realized that. That is not being too hyped. That is real, I played it and enjoyed it and know exactly what I'm getting into.
Whereas a too hyped game is a game you hear about for months and months with everyone going crazy. Talk of ninjas on fire, etc. Only to finally get to play it and realize it's not much more than anything you've played before.
This game came out of nowhere for most of us.

Fixed, and you will be getting yours sooner than me, that's for sure. Seeing as they shipped mine today, in the best case scenario I'll get it next Monday.
So i played the demo of this a few times this weekend and i have to say i was quite impressed.
All of the SRPGs ive tried lately just felt like too much work, but seriously this felt right up my alley.
Long story short... i preordered this thanks to the demo when i went to pick up LBP over the weekend. I thought VC wasnt being released until the 11/04 though. Saw it listed on a couple sites as 10/28. I guess I'll know later when i get my preorder call.
I went from nothing to play on my PS3 to all types of games coming out... no way i can keep up.
