i think this is THE va cast to beat in this generation of console games (and easily in the top 5 best VA casts in the last decade)...I haven't seen such an impressive cast in years.

Tears to Tiara came pretty damn close to matching the cast quality though...especially for such a niche title.

Recent Tales games or Persona compare easily. Also..

Jiggles: This or Trusty, are you kidding me ? XD It better be this!

I suppose that's debatable...they seem to use a lot more new comers/unknowns in their cast lineup which, atleast for me, puts it in the spectral gene type category...not to that extent but having heavy hitters mixed with some really crappy VAs...

I just meant which to play first...i plan to get both

Tales usually yeah, but Persona 3/4 have been all out heavy hitters mainly. I don't want to start a seiyuu list war now and I love Valkyria, it's just not the end all be all of seiyuu-dom.

I was just thinking about what a remarkable looking game this is.

However, it seems as though many developers were trying to achieve this look with their PS2 games because the hardware was so limited. Now it's totally intentional.

Yknow, she's the lead in Tales of Hearts.

Depends on US sales i think, and it wouldn't be a direct sequel based on how the storyline is. Though only one set of DLC's been released, I think that'd be the way to go...various sidestories and what not for the non-storyline characters...bitesized chapters with different endings based on how well you perform in the battle (C rank, B rank, A rank, S rank, etc)

TBH, while this is also a long long long shot, the chances of Eternal Arcadia, i think, are higher based on some entries in the char profiles in VC.

I missed that bit of news~ What was released on DLC? Anything important to the gameplay?

HardEX mode which removes the tank from skirmishes, increases the enemy troops, and in turn, also removes the buffs you can give your own troops..really really difficult. (300yen)

Eady company storyline...Eady and co. get separated from the main batallion and have to fend off imperial troops from a small town. It was just one battle, but it was really well designed and pretty challenging to boot and fully voiced. People thought Sega had the DLC planned from the beginning and had recorded the voices prior to releasing VC, but Kano Yui on her blog (Eady's VA) mentioned something about being called back in to the recording studio as the heroine for the new DLC. (600yen)

^---sidestory so has no bearing on the main storyline.

Those are really intriguing updates!

i thought i saw a post in the import VC thread that the DLC will not be included on the US release and whether there will be DLC for the US version was still up in the air...sorry too lazy to go check atm >.>

No worries, it was good to get that information~ I won't be surprised if the US version doesn't have the same DLC as the JPN version.

I really hope this game does well in North America and Europe. I don't give it much hope because it's released around the same time as R2 and Gears 2.

I'm buying it though, I've been interested in it ever since I first saw it.
