    Now, what's a dormant sega ip that would fit well with atlus' sensibilities as a video game developer?

    Sega has a lot of dormant IP I'd like Sega to take another crack at. (Resonance of Fate, obviously VC.) Curse you for bumping this thread and giving me hope. My heart fluttered like a frightened dove, and then frowned like a melting dove made of chocolate over a sewer grate in the middle of summer. It was so sad.

    Come on, it's obvious if you read between the lines that we're finally getting another Altered Beast.

    Literally every time this thread is bumped, I think "VC3 news! Wait, it's NOT going to be VC3 news and I'm going to be disappointed."

    Every time! Without fail.

    Good news everyone!

    Valkyria Chronicles 3: Extra Edition is on sale in the Japanese Playstation Store!

    But wait, you can't read Japanese? That's ok now, since a fan patch to translate the majority of the game to English was just released this past Christmas! You still need to buy the Japanese game, but now you can mod the game to be in workable English!

    Go wild, fans! The VC3 Fan Translation has finally arrived!

    Whoohoo! (except I am no where near finished with VC 2)

    Are we allowed to post the link? (I would assume yes, since it only links to the translation and not a patched game file):

    I asked a mod, and he said yes as long as it contains no further links to ways to obtain the game illegally (which that doesn't).

    Hey, somebody dredged up the thread after deciding yesterday to pick up my VC run. Unfortunately I left off at the stage where a very pissed-off Selvaria was on the roof of a building with a heavy machine gun. Turns out that Scouts and Snipers don't really react well to being penetrated by countless bullets. Fortunately I have a save with two teams of Scout, Shocktrooper and Lancer on either side of the citadel ready to go when I pick the game back up - hopefully I'll be able to deal with the heavy weapons before facing off against Miss Bunker Busters.

    Hope is the worst drug. Nothing ever got me higher, but the crash was severe and the withdrawal agonizing. It's like a nerd version of Trainspotting.

    Then I see a post in this thread and the cycle begins anew. I keep waiting for tolerance to build up, but it never seems to.

    Anyhoo, let's see how this fan translation thingy shakes out.

    I think a little hope is warranted here. Not for a localization, of course, but that you might actually get to play this game.

    It's like the PA comic where they tell the PS3 fanboys that while happiness is still not tolerated, begrudging hope now is.

    Valkyrie Chronicles was awesome. It satisfied my WWII, anime meldrama AND turn based strategy needs and then... no more games came to the PS3.

    Like, what the actual F?

    SEGA : kicking their fans in the nuts for 20 years.

    And I've fallen for it too, man. I'm actually past VC, but y'know what I want? A sequel to Resonance of Fate. I don't know why I hold out hope, but I do.

    I enjoyed Valkyrie Chronicles enough that I'd play a sequel if one ever got released in English (on a non-PSP, natch)

    I feel bad for you guys who have been waiting for so long

    Yeah, with any luck this fan translation will be close enough to an official localization that I won't mind the difference. So happens I have VC3:E2 sitting on a shelf behind me, so I will definitely try this soon. It's the fate of the series proper that still smarts. The cynic in me says "don't hold your breath" for Atlus to take a crack at it, but at least the hope is no longer down to a Sega going-out-of-business sale.

    After playing Project X Zone, Riela is the only true waifu. You know it in your heart.

    In original VC news, Selvaria was a pain to take down when I had her cornered by Alicia and Rosie, with All Units Defend and Awaken All Potnentials - she just kept dodging like nothing, even when I tried to have one unit flank her from behind. Undodgeable shot was a lifesaver, as was Alicia's Mysterious Body, but after a few tries I managed to clear the stage with a B rank - very satisfying.

    I think when I played that map the only shots she DOESN'T dodge are ones exactly 180 degrees behind her front. She can dodge 359 degrees of shots fired at her.

    Anyone have any advice for Chapter 17? Nothing I do seems to work, and I'm at that point where I hit a brick wall so daunting that I feel like dropping the game altogether. If it's not Jager's damn tank, it's everything else that throws a wrench into my plans - so many out of reach explosives and troops that I can't get rid of.

  • GrimthwackerGrimthwacker Registered User regular
    Okay, I FINALLY got through Chapter 17 after sort kinda using an FAQ but mostly winging it for the majority of the stage. Rosie's my MVP - she cleared out two camps practically all by her lonesome, awesome gal that she is! <3 - and most of my time was spent whittling down their reinforcements and Jaeger's outer armor. Once that happened, a Demolition Boosted Hector finished him off with two direct hits to the radiator.

    Suck it down, Jaeger, you miserable jerk.

    Let me tell you about Demon's Souls....
    I’ll tell you what happens in Demon’s Souls when you die. You come back as a ghost with your health capped at half. And when you keep on dying, the alignment of the world turns black and the enemies get harder. That’s right, when you fail in this game, it gets harder. Why? Because fuck you is why.

    Welp, that's VC finally done and dusted, after one very long, annoying chapter 18. Seriously, I had to look at some videos to make sure I was doing things right. The final boss in particular was just a pain, but thanks to Based Vyse and a good amount of luck I got through it.

    It's good to have finally experienced the game for myself; I don't regret buying a PS3 for mostly just this a bit.
