Story
Gallia's a nice little country. It's a happy place. It's also got a lot of ragnite, a valuable resource. The Imperial Alliance army wants some of it, so they invade. It's up to you as Welkin Gunther, commander of Squad 7, to drive the Imperials back out of Gallia.

Gameplay
Gameplay in Valkyria Chronicles is simple to understand. The first thing you see when you start a battle would be a screen like this.

commandmoderh8.jpg
Blue = friendly, Red = enemy

The Command Mode map shows the position of all your active units, as well as those of the enemy that you can see. Select one of your units, and the game will zoom in to the selected character and enter Action Mode. This costs Command Points, represented by the shield icons at the top of the screen. When you run out of CP your turn ends. (You may also end it prematurely if you wish.)

actionmodesq2.jpg

In Action Mode the enemy will fire at your selected character, so move to your destination quickly. Once there you can press R1 to start aiming your weapon. While aiming the game is paused and enemies will stop shooting, so take your time to line up a good shot. Tip: The D-pad allows for more precise aiming. After shooting, you may move the character to another location and return to Command Mode.

14_angsty_lg.jpg
Why?
jg08bp.jpg
There's three new Valkyria Chronicles DLC packs! Firstly, you can continue the fight against the Imperials in a brand-spankin' new mission, titled 'Enter the Edy Detachment', which puts you in charge of 6 popular characters in Squad 7 (Lynn, Jann, Homer, Susie, Marina, and the referenced-in-DLC-title Edy) to save a small town under attack from Imperials! Second, you can see EWII from the Imperial's perspective, playing cowardly Engineer Johann, assistant to our favorite, chesty Imperial Selvaria Bles, in four distinct missions all detailing the Imperials' attack on Ghirlandio, titled 'Behind Her Blue Flame'. And finally, you can re-play all the main campaign skirmishes on a new, even harder difficulty mode, titled 'EX Hard Mode'.
sad_kid2_150-thumb.jpg
*sniff* Really?
jg08bp.jpg
Yeah, really.
sad_kid2_150-thumb.jpg
How much do the three DLC packs cost?
jg08bp.jpg
$4.99 in the US, or $14.97 for all three, if you want to be a pretentious twat about it (which I am). So really, you're looking to spend 15 bucks all told if you get all three packs. If you live somewhere else than the USA, I don't know how much your DLC costs, because I DON'T TALK TO TERR'RISTS.
Patriotic%20knuckle%20sandwich%20small.jpg
Fuck yeah.
sad_kid2_150-thumb.jpg
Buh...buh...buh...I don't have fifteen dollars! Rent, you need to help me decide which of the three is best for me.
jg08bp.jpg
Firstly, get a job you bum, secondly...oops, better switch to a normal size here...

****

Ahh, that's better. Well, all right, let's detail the pros and cons of each DLC pack, shall we?
DLC Pack Number One: Enter the Edy Detachment
What's in the DLC?
A single mission, entailing the exploits of 6 members of Squad 7 who get a little...lost on the way back to the main squad, who end up saving a small town from an Imperial attack single-handedly.
How does it play?
It's set in Largo's side-mission map, starting out with all six members (Jann, Lynn, Edy, Homer, Marina, Susie) in a small base, being attacked from North and South by the Imperials, who are constantly reinforced every turn. Oh, also, a mortar hits your base every turn. You know, for flavor. Mission ends if any Imperials enter the base, hit the turn limit (just like every other mission), or Edy dies (Edy is default leader). Every character is set at level 11 with a top-mid tier weapon (think the weapons you used in Chapters 13-14 of the main game. Oh also, the sniper doesn't suck, much to everyone's relief.) You cannot issue orders in the mission. You cannot gain any EXP or DCT from this mission. You cannot gain any new weapons from this mission. In other words, this mission is just for funsies.
Is it fun?
In my opinion, yes. It is, in my opinion, the best map of all the DLC, being that you don't really explore the map at all in Largo's side mission (making it feel very fresh), and makes it necessary to utilize all classes effectively for survival. Ironically, the one Scout they give you on this map sees the least use (every other class, especially the Lancer, is extremely necessary for an A-Rank). Incidentally, it probably has one of the most unique structures to the mission of all the missions in the game- it feels like no other, and has a real sense of tactical necessity and an 'We're all coming out of this together or not at all' feel about it- think Saving Private Ryan or Black Hawk Down but more anime. The change-up mid-mission, unfortunately, devolves the well-designed aspect of it to "rush X person here, go go go". It's still loads of fun, however.
Also, the mission has four different endings, depending upon rank upon completion-A-Rank's the best, with D being the worst, so there's good reason to play.
Does it have a lot of character interaction?
Yes, yes, A HUNDRED TIMES YES. IT has about a five minute "cutscene" (it's the talking head type), before mission start that really gives character to the sextuplet and is friggin' hilarious. If you liked any of these characters in the main game (and who didn't like Marina? No one, that's who), you'd be remiss to check this shit out. Incidentally, there's a bunch of "miniscenes" at the beginning of each of your turns that help flesh out the characters as well. SPOILER ALERT: If you have NOT beaten Chapter 11 of the main game, do NOT play this DLC. It ruins a critical plot point of Valkyria Chronicles if so.
So, in a nutshell:
Pros:
  • Very good map
  • Well-designed and interesting mission
  • Brilliant VA and character interaction
  • Unique mission structure and general aesthetic
  • Four unique endings (replayability!)
Cons:
  • Strictly speaking, only one mission, so unless you replay (and you'd be remiss NOT to), we're speaking only 2-3 hours of fun
  • Gets kinda lame halfway through, with a mid-mission, kind of unwelcome, changeup
  • Bullshit hiding sniper that'll guarantee you replaying at least once due to not being omnipotent (Seriously, FUCK that guy)
  • No actual, game-advantage reason to play it, if you're that guy
  • No trophy patch what the hell SEGA your game sucks by default because I am a fucking loser who defines his life around a number after my PSN name to make up for the fact I have never kissed a girl and are dead inside [/neogaf]
DLC Pack Number Two: Behind Her Blue Flame
What's in the DLC?
Four (four!) missions entailing the Imperial assault on Ghirlandio as seen from the eyes of Johann, a young, skittish Engineer and his mentor, the fuckawesome Valkyrian general Selvaria Bles.[/b]
How does it play?
Eh, it's okay. I haven't completed the DLC yet (yeah, yeah I know, D:) but the two missions I have seemed pretty generic and by-the-numbers. Oh, don't get me wrong- it's fun, it just doesn't stand out. However, all faults can be displaced once you get to test drive Selvaria (:winky:). She's got the defense of a Lancer, her gun (the Ruhm) shoots like a machine gun, but has the power of a lance and the accuracy of a Scout rifle, AND she has the movement of a Scout, means that she's the most absurdly overpowered character EVER. And she is a motherfucking blast to play as. It's like turning on God mode in VC, controlling her. Oh, and did I mention that you UNLOCK the Ruhm for main story play once you beat the two beginning missions (it's a stormtrooper weapon)? Yes, it's that fucking amazing. It's...it's...well...
highfiveshirt.png
So, well, yeah. The missions might not be the best, but playing as Selvaria makes it all worth it. Oh also, Imperial weapons fucking suck, for serious. You CAN issue orders in the missions (you only get three, individual accuracy boost, group accuracy boost, and group defense boost- i.e., the ones everyone used anyways). You cannot gain any EXP or DCT from the missions. You cannot gain any new weapons besides the Ruhm from the missions.
Is it fun?
Is more VC tactical goodness fun? Yeah. And you get a lot of it- this is a quarter of VC in one DLC pack, complete with the cutscenes (a lot of cutscenes, all of them talking heads), orders, unit deployment, all that jazz. Note- you cannot save between missions, so if you want to resume where you left off (i.e. not completing it in one go) you must save mid-mission. (Once you complete a mission you can just jump straight into it, however).
NOTE: You do NOT have all four missions available to you right off the bat, and two of the missions must be unlocked be external measures besides 'complete the previous mission'. Here's how.
The missions are laid out like this:
Mission 1
Mission 2
Mission 3
Mission 4

If you beat Mission 1 normally (reach the end point), you're immediately skipped to Mission 3. If you beat Mission 3 you unlock the Ruhm. If, however, you beat mission 1 by destroying General Douche's tank, you're immediately placed into Mission 2, (this is the ONLY way to unlock Mission 2). If you THEN attain A-Ranks in all THREE missions (you don't have to do this in one shot, you just need to have attained an A-Rank in all three missions at some point in time), you THEN unlock Mission 4 (which, I think, you play as a Valkyria, complete with blue flame and glowy aftereffects. I dunno, haven't unlocked it yet.)
Does it have a lot of character interaction?
Yeah, it definitely shows the human side to Selvaria, and almost presents her as a motherly figure (and what a MOTHERLY FIGURE she would have! :winky:
HEYO!
HI FIVES, GUYS, HI FIVES!
HAHAHAH
OOOOHHHHHH...
OH, THAT WAS GOOD. THAT WAS SOME GOOD STUFF INDEED), and her interactions with Johann (himself a very interesting and likeable character) definitely puts a human face on the Imperials (somewhat ironic since 99% of them have their faces obscured all the time). It weaves a fairly cohesive narrative, especially given the multi-part aspect of the DLC, allowing the developers more time to pace the story, giving it a suitably epic feel.
So, in a nutshell:
Pros:
  • Lot of bang for your buck (four missions for 5 bucks = deal)
  • Interesting, well-written storyline
  • Fills in a couple of holes in the VC narrative (note: SEGA regards all of this DLC as non-canon, however, but there's no reason to treat this as non-canon)
  • Selvaria is fuckawesome to play as
  • Johann's pretty cool
  • The Ruhm. Seriously. Look at that thing.
Cons:
  • No really standout awesome missions
  • Imperials have shitty, shitty weapons
  • Gallians can, apparently, dodge like motherfuckers (WOULD'VE BEEN NICE IF YOU DID THAT MUCH DODGING WHEN I WAS PLAYING AS YOU GUYS, YOU ASSHOLES)
  • Johann can die from being looked at the wrong way, and in all the missions if Johann dies, mission lost
  • Besides Johann's friend Otto, everyone in your Imperial squad is a nameless goon you couldn't care less about if he lived or died (Seriously, in my playthrough I honestly did not give a shit if a character died, unless they were either a CP dude or were Johann. Kinda ruined it for me, since that sense of comradery from the VC main game was just not present at all and it made me more indifferent to my squad's lives.)

    Such a good game. I just did a test recording to see how feasible it would be to do an LP down the road.

    Not optimal, but definitely an option, I think. I'm rendering the video and then I'll upload it to see how it turns out on Youtube.

    I doubt it would make for a good LP though, it's hard to make fun of the game, and that seems to be where a lot of hilarity can come from in LPs.

    So... at least 3 possible weapons can be unlocked via the DLC:
    Selvaria's Machinegun
    Anti-Tank Sniper Rifle
    Empire AT Lance

    I wonder if they can be used in the main game w/o a New Game + required?

    I had gotten the game for Selvaria and the Valkyria. So it was to my dismay when I realized that I couldn't command a Valkyria, not even once. But the game is still awesome. I sincerely hope for a sequel (or prequel, or... Damnit, just give me another VC!).

    Hopefully the DLC would change that.

    So, is there perhaps a way to play this x3 awesome game if we perhaps do not have a PS3?

    Because I really want to play it. It looks like Silent Storm, but with some serious upgrades. Not enough to buy a PS3 only for it though (even if Rent may argue that point.)

    One military dude to another man
    Totally fucking get it
    Fucking awesome, totally worth price of PS3

    I must say, this was my first ps3 game, and I'll love it forever. Plus my family loves Skies of Arcadia because Vyse is one bad, yet enthusiastic motherfucker.


    While not my first PS3 game, it is my first PS3 exclusive game. (I'm waiting for the inevitable "Metal Gear Solid 4 - S-word" edition).

    You'll be able to play as Selvaria in the DLC, but only with normal combat IIRC. No crazy Valkyria stuff (which would be essentially God Mode TBH)

    I can definitely get a better quality than that. Not bad, but definitely not great.

    Her weapon is so fucking OP it doesn't even matter though
    Range and accuracy of a sniper rifle, damage of a machinegun, and apparently she has more AP than a Scout? WTF?

    Hmmm, point taken. Sometimes I like being proved wrong. This is definitely one of those times :D

    Oh man, that video has got me excited. Lucky me I should (big should) be getting my PS3 back this weekend, or in two weeks. If neither of those times then in about 4 months. D:

    So the Edy mission basically revolves around the secondary cast of the anime? That's certainly interesting, but too bad Marina is the only awesome one in there.
