They should release a downloadable level where you only get to use Hans, but he can like punch tanks and destroy them in one blow, and foot soldiers will all run away from him when he gets near them, and he can shoot laser beams from his eyes. That would be cool.
bought the game at EB, was originally going to pick up RA3, but all these hype threads I've seen on the forums kinda swayed my decision.
Liking it a lot though, its like a mutt of anime cel/shading+ RPG+turnbased CoH. Not a bad pedigree at all, though I still think the anime is a bit too heavy handed and the pig should be roasted on the spot.
Finished this a couple days ago. Awesome awesome game, though I wish the ending were more like SOA with wrapping up what happened to the rest of your crew. They gave that treatment to the main/secondary chars though.
Definitely my runner up for GOTY!

When you start the New Game+, go to the personnel tab, it adds a paragraph about what each person in your squad does after the war.
I've taken a hiatus to play Fallout 3, but put Valkyria Chronicles in again a few days ago. I tried hard mode. Holy crap, that's some hard stuff. It makes me mad at the rating system all over again... no matter how brilliant my strategy is, a better ranking can come through gambles and order abuse.
Oh well, if I ignore the rankings, hard mode provides exceedingly interesting battles. Fun times.
Edit: Pika's sig is awesome. And yes, as Rent so brilliantly observed, Fallout can suck it. Everyone else may love Fallout, but it will never come between me and my Valkyria Chronicles.
I think the new thread title should be "It's like chess but the characters shoot each other."
Man I never realy used the smoke rounds much on my first playthrough cept for ch11. They realy do seem to be the key to winning hardmode skirmishes. Even more than order abuse.

I know the spoiler bit. I said that I thought it would have made the ending even more awesome if they included the rest of the crew as well, not just the main and secondary chars.
Anyway, I just dropped by to ask if anyone else has seen the RAWW of the first episode of Valkyria Chronicles.
I've seen it (now waiting for subs), and I must say "Damn! I want more!" I will say this; the creators have attempted to recreate the CANVAS system by giving a faint texture that is noticable as you watch the episode. Also, so as to not really spoil much, I'll just state that the beginning has been rewritten for faster introduction and a bit of action. Damn cliffhangar will force me to wait another week for Ep.2 to air in Japan.
Well, take care of yourselves; I'll be dropping by every so often for the duration of the anime!

Sarcasm?
I find it funny how the reviewer thought it was going to be like Fable.
If that be not sarcasm, off with ye! Off to the Gamespot or GameTrailers boards! For here be dragons! Dragons of intellect and good taste.
Edit: @ Xia: adorable.

New Title Suggestion: Valkyria Chronicles- Suck it, Fallout 3, VC for GOTY
Welkin's face is brilliant. I love it.

Oh, and screw Jeagor's tank.
I think that you have to not delay it too much i.e. shoot less barrels.
I love that level. The scenery is just gorgeous in that one.
haha i said the same thing like a page ago

That said, where's a sig rotator if you want to use them all at once:

but if everyone used it everyone would have random sigs but all showing the same sig
Shame the last mission was so pitifully easy. I did it in a turn - rushed the boss with storm troopers.
