Got this for Christmas and have only just got everything sorted in my new place, but looking forward to getting started on it as soon as I can pry Disgaea 3 from the clutches of my PS3.

Valkyria Chronicles is a great game to play with another game. After the beginning missions the battles usually take a long time the first time you play them. So its nice to have a game to go to as downtime between battles.
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.

Sounds like a good idea, will probably stop be getting angry at X Dimension, but enough of that, this no the place.
Heh, this is what I get for being absent too long! ;3
...So... Anyone seen the first episode?
Crosspost!
Watched Valkyria Chronicles episode 1.
First off, I will most likely be watching this show in its entirety just for Alicia, at least.
The quick shift between gravity of war and... weightlessness of war is a bit jarring. I know, I know, Valkyria Chronicles, and...
So it's not exactly a surprise, and overall it might...might be for the best. But the sheer amount of "OMG I'M GOING TO DIE!" transitioning effortlessly into "OMG, DID HE JUST TOUCH MY HAND?" and back again in heated battle is just a bit much.
And they're shooting at you, Alicia! You don't stop running to shoot back!
It is almost inevitable that Susie will die and that makes me : (
Pretty much, I think it's really pretty, and I should like the characters taken individually, but everything else is probably going to take some work or getting used to.

I was able to watch the first episode of the anime, here are my impressions.
Soundtrack: The game uses the soundtrack from the Videogame, a welcome change from videogame to anime transitions. It is too early to say that the anime has original music written by Sakamoto. The Opening song is okay and the ending song was pretty terrible. I was kind of hoping for an orchestral opening score to match the grand tone of the borrowed videogame score.
Animation: The art design still bothers me because it is too different than the videogame. With that said, the anime has fairly high production values and movement is very smooth. If Valkryia Chronicles keeps it up, it would be a fairly rewarding experience visually.
Storyline/Pacing: I will shock you when I say this, but the anime is actually a fairly different experience. They basically go from story point A to story point B in the videogame, but how they go there is COMPLETELY DIFFERENT. This actually makes the anime experience all the more better since it will not be a complete retread of the videogame.
It also seems that they gave Susie a much larger role in the Anime, since she is already there as part of the Bruhl Defense force in the first episode and is already friends with Alicia. I would hesitate to say that Susie got promoted from a secondary character to a main character, but she will definitely have more airtime than her game predecessor. It will be interesting to see how the anime canon develops her.
Overall: The Valkyria Chronicles anime seems like it will be a different experience than the game, I look forward to see what the anime creators will come up with in developing the interaction between the main cast. I would almost go as far as to say it is an excellent representation of the game, but I will hold on to my judgment until more episodes come out.
It can be different, but still remain faithful. Which it really was. Of course they have to flesh out secondary characters and add a flowing structure to keep the plot moving, rather than dividing it into combat missions with intermissions in between. Carbon copying much of the game's plot/dialogue wouldn't work at all, since it's an entirely different format.
For what its worth, though, I thought it was pretty good, though we need to get a few eps in before stuff actually happens.

All creature will die and all the things will be broken. That's the law of samurai.
Anyways, in case you missed it earlier up this page, VC is $30 at GameStop right fucking now, brand fucking new. I nearly shit myself. I would have bought ten copies on principle if I had the extra cash.

It's already backordered on their website
TOTP Edit: So you should go to the store to get it! Don't let Valkyria Chronicles pass you by! </preaching to the choir>

Chrono Trigger will be easy to find for a little while at least, and is actually a pretty lame port (downgraded sound makes me a sad panda). Valkyria Chronicles is amazing, and already rare.
I couldn't finish Chrono Trigger. There's just too much going on at the end.
EDIT. Wow, the anime looks good. I'll love any part with the tanks. They remind me of Steamboy. Alicia was the pinnacle of stupidity through the whole thing, but they had to set up an introduction to Welkin somehow.
each of the main 3 could have died at least once already. (Being shot by Imperials does not count.) I usually don't like those scenes where 2 people are about to land the killing blow on each other and conveniently stop at the last moment when a 3rd person yells something.
I download a copy directly from a torrent site so that I can watch it over and over again with or without internet. ;3
Said board has both RAWWs and Subs. Becareful what you type though; safe and unsafe works can be downloaded just as easily.
If anyone doesn't mind such a vile way of watching a series, then I'll PM. In the meantime, I think it'd be best if I get reaquainted with the forum rules once more (just in case).
EDIT: Nyeh. Guess it's either PMs or forget it.

I went to gamestop this weekend with intentions of buying either Chrono Trigger for the DS or Valkyria Chronicles - both were $30.
I flipped a coin .... and I chose Chrono Trigger.

I cannot describe the magnitude of my approval of your words here today, sir. You have said what I was considering, and have succeeded with far less vile disgust and hatred in your text than I would have.

Also, the inflation of the every other set of boobs diminishes the greatness of Selvaria's. :P
Can trade TF2 items or whatever else you're interested in. PM me.
...So... Anyone seen the first episode?

Let me tell you about Demon's Souls....
moink!
No. Hell No.
I would kill for a full EW1 prequel. So many possibilities
Sounds like a good idea, will probably stop be getting angry at X Dimension, but enough of that, this no the place.
Bacon sarny and VC time methinks.

You can save mid-battle.
This is an order!

Excuse me while I go and have a seizure.
What is wrong with you.
You chose...poorly.
Had you ever played Chrono Trigger? If not then I'll excuse you until your next paycheck. If you own another version of the game however...
You did bad!
What the fuck get the fuck out

So you're going back tomorrow to buy VC right? Right?
EDIT. Wow, the anime looks good. I'll love any part with the tanks. They remind me of Steamboy. Alicia was the pinnacle of stupidity through the whole thing, but they had to set up an introduction to Welkin somehow.
I wonder if there's a trope for that.
And...
You sure that's Cath? Looks like Marina to me.
Anywho, blasted on through to Chapter 9. Chapter 7 was quite nerving, but 8 was annoying.
I want a liiiiiiiiiiink
Just go to Veoh and type in "Senjou no Valkyria."
I put a link in an earlier post. Anyways, here.

I.... my god. I mean, that's pretty, but I never realized how... big she was. I'd hate to have those. They go over half way to her elbow!
