Valkyria Chronicles thread: Alicia's sweet baked buns edition
I loved the original, it sold me on A PStripple after years of NO GAEMS bad press along with stuff like Demon's Souls and Folklore. But of all of those games Valkyria Chronicles was easily the best. Its probably why it would go on to other hardwares and PC, because there was a much bigger audience for this unique blend of WW2 and fantasy and gameplay that blends strategy, 3rd person shooter and jrpg to feel like some strange hybrid of Peace Walker, Tales' and Tactics Ogre.
I've been playing through the Handheld games and they are fine for handheld games. Like Peace Walker itself they carry a lot of the tone of the original big budget console release but with a lighter tone and more elements to appeal to japanese handheld crowd that have more differing tastes.
But now VC4 is on the way bring a story of 'not-russians' and FILTHY FUCKING DARCSENS surviving in the frozen alt siberian wastes of northern europa and i thought it was the perfect time to pick up the PS4/PC remaster of VC1 and replaying it is like falling in love with the series all over.
Sure it lacks some of the great balancing choices of VC2 like scouts teching up into certain roles like sniper that made it feel like YOUR militia you customised as well as things like medics being a unit you needed to smartly position like engineers in 1 but this still holds up so well and its maybe my favourite game from last gen and it turns 10 years old soon.
What do you think of the series? love it? put off assuming its weebshit? like it but want some changes for VC4?
Personally i think its the only game i can sincerely gush about to /v/ because i think it offers something for everyone. Rpg mechanics, weebshit, great soundtrack, great strategy -though the first has some cheese strats that got ironed out in sequels- and its still a shame that now 5 games in -yes i'm counting revolution thats how much i love the series as a whole- theres still so few anons that have played one of the best games made after the PS2 era i have ever enjoyed.
and sure it sucks 2 is nowadays PSVita only and 3 is emulation or fucking nothing, but considering it could have been 'Gallian Panzers' a animal ears WW1 'kemono shooter' thrown out to die at the end of the PS2's lifespan i'm happy with what we got and will recommend the series any day of the week.

I've only played 1, but class balance is completely fucked, where Scouts render every other class obsolete outside of lancers in the very last mission, the retarded GOTCHA moments where dumb shit spawns in and fucks you over, necessitating either foreknowledge of the mission or a restart is shit-tier game design, and the story is terrible.

They fix a lot of that in the sequels BUT the monkeys paw trade off is going for the japanese handheld audience means -and this is a quote from the team while working on VC4 right now- "we made 2 in particular about a school and students with super powers because thats what the japanese handheld audience loves".
Though thankfully for VC4 they said "VC1 was more popular in the west for its more grounded fantasy so we are toning back the super powers and no high school stuff which only japan seemed to like, this is a release for western fans, thank you for your patience".
Which means without the bullshit the stuff 2 added in particular includes
-a tree where almost everyone starts as a scout and then they tech into one of 3 trees, one for heavies, one for better scouts and snipers and one for mid level shocktropper stuff
-Medics are now an in army unit. Instead of saying any fallen member with a scout in a single turn you need to get a medic to them so keeping one near your tank like an engineer was always mandatory, but on long maps could still get fucked if it forks dramatically
-New classes with specialisations like a guy with a tanky shield and armour with a huge hammer for clearing mines and going into melee combat
-Turning tanks into far more specialised equipment. maybe it doesnt get its bumpy trot on and trundle around the field spreading death but sets up at one fixed vantage point and becomes a mortar instead.
VC4 also seems to be including survival aspects as its not a reinforced brigade but a small militia in the northern wastes without resupply lines so it could be more strict e.g: ragnite is limited, do you upgrade weapons at the cost of risking units freezing to death between battles?

If you ever played peace walker or to a lesser extent monster hunter its like that. Tiny areas you swap between on missions. It allowed for some neat deploy and redeploy stuff but you miss the big desert and forest battles of VC1.
I'm hoping for some big visibility obscuring blizzard battles in VC4 fighting the enemy force along with bandits and deserters.
God knows the northern siberian shit the russians encountered in WW2 lead to fucked up stories of troops turning cannibal, feral towns or finding germans whos vehicles crapped out and then they all just froze to death overnight.

The game was a lot more enjoyable when you didn't realise you could scout rush, and also not knowing you could save during missions. Every mission I killed everybody before taking over the main objective, because I thought score would also be based on the number of kills.

The game would be infinitely better if it was modded to fix the retarded ranking that forces rushing. It should be based on damage dealt and taken instead, with maybe the number of turns being part of it but much more lenient. Also, remove the entirely RNG dodges. It's a terrible thing to have in a strategy game. The game already has an RNG element in the form of gun spread, so stacking another, much larger, layer of RNG on top of it is completely pointless and undermines planning. Especially when the shitty ranking system forces you to rush if you don't want to miss out on stuff.
>>13861464
Honestly, that mission is shit because she can show up, down and them run into and kill your characters in one turn. If you don't know where she's going to spawn (or worse yet, try to slow her down), you can get fucked. Sure, if you already know it or get lucky you can make it easy, but that's another matter. Ever bringing the tank near her relies on knowing that she won't just run around it and instantly cause a game over.

At least with VC it felt like you had to learn how to rush, where, and when. (providing you didn't just look up how to do it online).

That would be common sense; I did it myself numerous times.
Problem is that, depending on how i'm positioned I can either get crit by a lancer from behind, or risk a crit from the batomys itself (and I also believed that, for healing the Edelweiss it would heal more if I healed the crit spot of the tank which led to some positioning issues of its own)
The main thing that helped me the most was finding that the engineers could destroy the vents in a single grenade though.
The trenches don't offer too much protection either from Selvaria.

But there are proper Valkyria in the wild for sure since the Imps that found her immediately realized what she was, and captured her for experimentation.

Don't forget, you can get it running at 60fps with some hacks and it's actually the most stable psp game to run at 60 frames that I've tried. There is some minor issues but they really don't hurt the gameplay.
Quick question for someone who has played through it, are some missions just fucked? I'm at chapter 7 and the free mission Night Op crashes right after I beat it, It doesn't seem to be the 60fps hack to be causing it because I turned it off and tried it again and same result, it's the only time this has happened throughout the game for me and I was just wondering if someone went through the same.
Maybe the copy I have is shit since it came pre-patched.

Just FYI, saving a jpg multiple times will continuously degrade the image. Manually editing the colors the way you're doing it is leaving a ton of artifacts; there's an easier way in this case by selecting the watermark (because it's fairly clean) and running it through a recolor filter (because it's a fixed color watermark). The problem with this image, is that it's a shitty JPG with artifacting that fucks up the filter.
Pic is after running it through the filter assuming a 35% #FF5FCD opacity watermark (rough guess from a couple points) and manually removing the artifacts on the white background.
I'll try to touch up the remaining spots, but I'm lazy.

I assume you mean 2, and I agree, I didn't even bother to finish it, I dropped it after they introduced The Skulls Unit.
That entire game felt like the writer started reading BNHA and decided to throw it in the VC universe, without any extra thought.
I can't even remember one single name out of those characters. All I can remember is that shitty laugh from the MC that still haunts me.
I don't know about VC3 though, I've yet to finish it but currently I've already got a few favorite girls, I like the Granny and Valerie is a pure cutie.

However, seeing the same 5-8 maps over and over again will slowly kill you on the inside and erode your soul.
Personally, I finished it once and never touched it again nor do I intend to.

Steamspy keeps track of the price people are playing, it still averages out at about $15, which for a half decade old console port is reasonable. There's zero reason to believe that people wouldn't buy VC4 for full price if it was released at the same time as the console version. It's when the PC release is a year after console and being sold for $49.99 while copies of the console version are filling up the wire mesh bargain bins at $10.99 that sales on PC don't live up to the retarded publishers "expectations".

its not hard to understand, with humble bundle you can give developers no money at all, many people buy games at the cheapest price, split the payment, so that dollar you buy 8 games with can equal to pennies going to developers. This is where steamspy becomes unreliable, and it's far better to use it for new sales before any discounts.

Well he did want to create a royal bloodline of Valkyrur with a legit Valkyrur but he was too retarded to realize that he already had a Valkyrur at his disposal (who was grateful to him) and decided "nah nigga I want the one in Gallia." Remember, Selvaria died for nothing in the end.
It's the equivalent of finding a rare game at a flea market in almost perfect condition with a price tag of 5 bucks and then saying "nah I want the copy at GameStop for 100 bucks with no original case and the disc is cracked slightly, so I'm just going to buy the 5 dollar one and throw it away because I can"

>>13879930
In 1, only a few characters get spotlight. The rest you can see their personalities through their small lines of dialogue during combat, or their small biography entries. But both of those are enough to endear people to them, even making some of them very memorable. Like Catherine's "I'm not done yet" in her cute Irish accent or Jane who has a murderboner for imperials because they destroyed her flower shop.
In 2 they focus a lot on hanging out with your squadmates and fleshing them out, but despite being quirky animu army highschool, pretty much none of the characters are memorable beyond the tittymonsters Juliana, who isn't even in your squad, and Avan's laughter.

VC suffered from having a number of missions that were hard as fuck the first time due to unexpected scripted reinforcement's, but easy as piss on the retry because you know what's going to happen. The Batomys might be the hardest mission in the game if only because your soldiers are so low level that the retry can still be difficult depending on how much your lancers miss.

Use scouts to throw grenades in the top of the ports or lancers to hit the sides. Repeat the process three times to beat the mission.

Playing it for the first time in years i remembered it being super hard. This time i took 4 lancers, an engi, a sniper and two scouts.
Lancers and tank took out all the canons with ease before the first camp. The scout and sniper at the southern spawn went up the ramp but near cover and took out the soldiers while the other scout hid near the edge of the map by the first wall collapse area.
Then i just had her climb up the tank, throw a grenade in to one shot a radiator. Sylveria showed up by man it was funny. I had my edeweiss and engi aiming up the ramp and they auto shot and killed the entire backup squad before they could do any damage.
Then i had the edelweiss shoot down every single blockade wall with my guys behind it for cover from selveria while two lancers did a suicide run to get one radiator close to dead but inentionally not dead. Then the scout hiding runs and gets a medic for both and grenades the undamaged radiator then everyone turtles till the damaged one pops back up and a single lance breaks it then i spend a saved up full CP bar by the point on constant edelweiss shots to nuke it for an A rank and like 3/40,000xp and 50,000dcc

I always figured that she DID realize it, and when she kept having her love rejected, she willingly accepted her own suicide mission.
Selvaria's not dumb, just blindly loyal and in love with Max. I think when Max gave her her final mission, she fully realized what he thought of her, and would've rather died than continue to live with broken heart under a man who she unconditionally loved her entire life, but will never love her.
Despite that flaw, it's her unquestioning loyalty and unconditional love that endear me to her. Other than her appearance, of course. She is actually nice, as seen when she captures Squad 7 and then lets them go before she destroys herself and Ghirlandaio. As well as how she treats her soldiers in her DLC mission.
There's also a bit of pity in there and wishing she could've been dealt a better hand.

It's easy to call her a dumbass for not realizing what Max did to her, but as a person whose mother was in a similar situation (abusive relationship), it's not that they don't realize, it's that they stick with the abuser because they love him, and keep doing things for him because they think he'll change or go back to being the idealized person he was when they first met him. It's not easy for a person to decide to leave something like that.
My mother took years (probably above 15 or so) to finally leave my dad. But she somehow found the resolve to carry on without him. But even then she found that she thought about going back to him when he came to apologize and beg for her to come back.
Selvaria's state is a little different. She was taken from her parents and then used as an experiment and test subject in a research facility (that Max actually funded) for years. Basically a tool to find out how to turn Valkyrur into weapons.
Max saved her from that and gave her a kind welcome into his own home. In essence he is her complete and utter savior, the only person to treat her like a human for a long time (despite his ulterior motives to just use her like a tool. The emotional manipulation is part and parcel of an abusive relationship).
I don't know if locking her up and torturing her for years then saving her was part of his plan but it certainly helped.
So he used her like a tool when the next war started, and due to her thinking of him as her savior and loving him because of his manipulation, she swore undying loyalty to him.
She knows that she's being used, but she's hoping that maybe one day he could see her as more than a useful item. But she realized that day would never come when he ordered her to use her Final Flame.
I don't condone her suicide and I honestly wish she'd just ran away or escaped from it all. When I first played, a part of me really wanted to believe she'd switch sides, or somehow survived what she did at Ghirlandaio.
But perhaps she believed that as long as she was alive, people would attempt to use her. Perhaps she couldn't live with the realization that Max would never love her, but she unconditionally loved him.
And while she says her Final Flame was for Max, if she really wanted him to win Gallia afterwards, she'd eradicate all troops in opposition instead of letting them leave Ghirlandaio.

Autistic but accurate for the most part. Even if you don't take into consideration how hot Selvaria is and how she was waifu material, you have to take into consideration how useful she was as a weapon.
She was the equivalent of a nuke on the battlefield and her Final Flame is a testament to that. The fact that Max used it for no real reason other than to just get rid of her is fucking retarded, the weapon known as Selvaria if used properly could have won him Gallia without much effort.

From what I can tell his entire plan for nuclear Selv was to kill Alicia.
…Ya know, thinking it over I think I was a bit too harsh on her, I think she purposely sabotaged Max's plan at the very end; she chose to go nuclear on the Gallians only AFTER Squad 7 had left the area- and Max looked scared shitless when he found himself confronted by Valk Alicia again, probably thought he had been rid of her through Nuke Selvaria.
