Valkyria Chronicles Series Thread- Sega ruins all the things. ALL OF THEM.

yeah
But regardless.
Serious question; should I just make all Shocks (besides by 2 gunners) Commandos? I know that the AP Gain is very nice, but the loss of the grenades is more than made up by the power of the Flamers, correct? I'm currently spending some time to upgrade all my lacking characters, so I've just felt like asking with regards to the Shocks.
On another somewhat serious note, is it just me, or is it rather disappointing to see Selvaria in, of all things, a Lanseal uniform? What happened to VC1 Selvaria, that was featured in the early JP VC2 screenshots for bonus content? Did they just drop that entirely for the US version? Or was it done for both versions? I ask, because if Maxi comes out later, I'd like to expect whether or not he'll be in his princely attire or another Lanseal Uniform.
That said, that's what Heavy Scouts are for. Their rifle grenades have a stupid far reach.
1) Their interception fire is on par with a gatling bunker. Which makes sense because they are effectively walking gatling bunkers. Nobody can protect a base or hold down a choke point quite like them.
2) Gunners, and especially heavy gunners, are frequently capable of mowing down multiple units in one salvo because of their sweeping attack and absurdly high damage.
3) Assisting fire, assisting fire, assisting fire. When assisting another shooter, they use their concentrated interception fire, which is capable of killing pretty much any infantry unit in a single magazine.
Gunners are overshadowed by Commandos pretty handily, but they definitely have their uses and I very frequently use at least one.

We need another thread.
Poor Selvaria. You're not alone. I'm sad too.
And as for my current team, grinding and going back to Ace all the old missions has seen about 80% of my characters advancing to the next level. Lancers are still being a pain in the ass though... And so is the Certificate/Diploma drops.
And I really, really dislike Selvaria in Lanseal attire. Couldn't they have at least kept to her old one like what was previewed way back when?
I'm like that with all of the unlocked characters. Like, using Marina wearing a Lanseal sniper outfit is just wrong. Give her a militia uniform!
No she's not. Her encyclopedia entry doesn't say she is; you never see her on campus; she doesn't have any classmate events. She's a member of Squad 7 who joins in your missions through the power of "it's just a game, you should really just relax." There's no in-game reason for the guest characters to be wearing the cadet uniforms.
The real-world reason, of course, is that they either didn't want to spend the money doing entirely new sets of uniforms, or else the game couldn't handle the added assets.
Then she shouldn't be going with you in missions. More mystery!
Also, you didn't explain (VC 1 spoilers)
I guess they joined the militia too?
I'm not asking for much. Just some extra uniforms
2) I'm never making an OP ever again, I have been working on this damned thing for like eight hours now
The only UI quirk I have is that I wish there were an easier, more direct way to compare what credits my recruits need to what credits individual missions are offering. As-is, now I have to bounce back and forth between the Change Class screen on the drilling fields and the Mission Info screen in the Briefing Room.
I'm just annoyed that my girl is in a school uniform
Regarding Selvaria, yeah, I used her this morning. She's really good. Not like you'd expect less from Selvaria though.
no more making OPs for me
only me
Only thing you're really losing is custom firmware possibilities, if you swing that way, but everything else is a massive upgrade. People have been debating the screen of the 3000 versus the 2000, but I haven't seen them together in person to compare. I like how much lighter and, well, slimmer the newer PSPs are. Just remember to take out your memory stick before you trade it in. :P
Also go to the new thread!
what the hell
