Just finished the game and I heard there was an anime. Is it any good?
It's horrible aside from Selvaria's tits, and even those couldn't save it.
It's shit. Just play the inferior sequel to the game i it's still a better experience than the anime.
>>119745181
It's shit. A genuinely awful adaptation.
>>119745809
Oh god, it's true. How depressing is that?
>>119745181
It's okay, it follows the best characters to the game and VC3 has an OVA too. The anime uses the game's OST and is even animated like the game
>>119745918
Calling the game's awesome OST an attribute of the anime seems a bit disingenuous.
>>119745181
It's the same as any other anime adaptation of a video game.
>>119745918
The bottom one looks kinda cool.
>>119745918
I didn't know there was a third one.
>tfw you search for best girl Jane and Google asks you if you meant Jann
>>119745181
Why don't you watch it and find out yourself?Its a horrible anime conversion. Even worse than something like Star Ocean EX or Final Fantasy Unlimited.
>>119745963
Go to bed anon, you're tired
Never called it an attribute, just said it used it.
Still never played past like 20 minutes into VC3. Is it really worth it or is it just VC2 with a slightly better paint job?
>>119745918
>The anime uses the game's OST and is even animated like the game
One of the main reasons the anime sucks so much is because its NOT similar to the design of the game. The game has a very distinct style that the anime doesn't replicate in any way.
>>119746142
Sorry, I misunderstood your intentions. It is gone 4am where I am. And I have fucking lectures in the morning. But it's been forever since I've seen a Valkyria Chronicles thread on /a/.
>>119746203
>The game has a very distinct style that the anime doesn't replicate in any way.
It was the most successful attempt to emulate a 2D design in a (sorta) 3D format. The anime not replicating this was a major strike against it before it even aired.

>>119746085
It wasn't released in the US, VC3 is everything good about the other and more, the only problem is that is for the PSP and not PS3.
As for the anime it was just a short 2 episode OVA. It didn't have any major backing so the animation is great but it is still VC. VC3 is a lot darker than VC and VC2, the 422 are a penal sqaud that act like special forces and get screwed over a lot. VC3 also unites the other two series with a whole bunch of cameos by the 7th squad, Class G makes cameos but that is game only.
Pretty terrible.
>>119746157
3 was much better than 2. At least you finally get to control a valkyria.
As for the OVA I'm still butthurt that they didn't include best girl Margit.
>>119746157
VC2 would need a lot more than a slightly better paint job to be considered any way good.
>>119746375
Huh, actually sounds good. That said, I'd be wary of the limitations of the PSP when it comes to a game like VC.

Are you talking about the game? Because plenty of other games have done that. Dragon Quest VIII is arguably the best looking game on PS2 because is successfully broke the 'uncanney valley' of anime graphics in a 3D world. Valkyria Chronicles also did it successfully. But it did come out 5 years later on a stronger system.
But yes, in the end, the anime failed to emulate it.
>>119746464

>>119746464
I haven't played the second game, but I've heard it said that elements of the gameplay are improved over VC2. Is there any truth to this?
That said, I've little intention of playing VC2 anyway as I can't tolerate the change in art style.
>>119746464
Sega drastically reduced the development budget and changed many key members of the development team. Sega still whines about VC being a failure, despite it selling some 700,000 copies.
Basically, Valkyria Chronicles is the Sega version of Suikoden. A series with endless potential, constantly squandered by low budgets from shareholders.
>>119746442
The cut scenes are anime and cell shading but the game play is VC/VC2 style. You get fewer characters but a lot more options. You can class up anyway for the most part.
Also same thing about what >>119746421 said
But if you do well, you get 4 Valkyria to control.
>>119746534
Yeah, I was talking about the game. I haven't played nor seen any gameplay of the Dragon's Quest games, but I'll look into it now.

>>119746753
I didn't get to play VC1 until it came out on Steam, and then as luck would have it I was able to buy a PS3 for €160 in the January sales.
>>119746753
Not as bad as me. I bought a PS3 just to play Ninja Gaiden Sigma 2.
In the end, I ended up getting 15 other games I loved. Including Valkyria Chronicles. PS3 was definitely the best system last gen.
>>119746464
True but if you look at the events it makes sense,
The actual timeline:
VC is the Great War, VC is the big war were legends are made and heroic tales are told
VC3 is the Underside of the Great War, where the losers are working behind the scenes to show that the good guys aren't so good
VC2 is the Low Intensity Civil War or in this case Uprising, so the high school setting is fine for this because the Great War is over and people moved on
>>119745918
Man, there's zero artistic/stylistic consistency between those 3 games.
>>119746795

That sounds genuinely interesting. So is VC3 set during the events of VC1, but VC2 isn't?

Yes.
>>119747042
Frederica Lipps is better.
>>119746898
VC just looks like a standard war game, VC3 looks a lot darker due to it's nature, and VC2 is very light hearted considering that Galia is basically at peace

VC3 is a side story of sorts, the MC of VC3 starts out like Welkin but some stuff happens and he is latter shipped to 422. VC2 happens years after VC/VC3. VC2 is the Civil Uprising, but is no Great War, Welkin and Alicia are retired from service and everything is basically peachy. Everybody goes to the Academy because there are no wars left.
>>119747251
Are you fucking serious? He was one of my favorite units. He and Hannes were the shocktrooper bros.
Out of all the qts of all 3 games I always found Margit the prettiest. Is it the drills? Her voice?
>>119746587
Christ, imagine what a decently funded, well-designed VC game would be like!
>>119747309
The point is that it eventually did sell a lot. Which showed the series had promise. So they should have at least given its sequel the same level of budget and time as the first game. And, most important, kept it on the same platform.
Instead, they made a low budget sequel on a system only popular in Japan. Wow...I wonder why interest in the series plummeted....
>>119747400
They use tanks during a civil uprising in Gallia?
>>119747437
Drills are usually a good indication of best girl unless they're just a HUUUUUUUUUUGE irredeemable bitch.
I wonder whether Valkyria Chronicles might run on my toaster or not.
I heard the port to PC was very good, though, so I even feel tempted to buy it, although I pirated it already.
>>119747138
VC2's war is "We want to make sequel, but we don't want it too far in the future because we want character to make cameos so here's the worst excuse for a war ever!"

Because nobody cares about them, even their CO is a shitbag, he doesn't wear his uniform properly and it is implied he is banging Frederica.

Valkyria
Regular Army
Reservist Army

>>119746573
There's a tiny bit of truth to it, but it's not so impressive that you can claim without dispute that it was an overall improvement in gameplay. Here's some features for better or worse YMMV
>Each class branches into two higher tier classes that each branch into two more as you upgrade
>Tiny maps that connect to each other through the use of flag bases
>Semi-random spawns each encounter (bosses and certain shit stay the same no matter what)
>RNG loot system for R&D and upgrading your classes
>Leveling barely does jack shit in the short run, though depending on the class it does have huge gains if you grind all50 fucking levels, good luck maxing even one class before you finish the game without some serious time wasting.
>The AI gets smarter as you progressAll this means is the AI is really fucking retarded at the start and can't even move a unit in succession for half the game
The art style doesn't actually change per se unless you're talking about the 2D cardboard cutouts replacing the in-game cutscenes. But the difference between a PSP and a PS3 means during battle the characters look a lot more shitty, especially VC2 which is so lazy everyone uses the same body for each class.
>>119747637
Wait, is the Militia the Reservist Army?

>>119747648

Fuck that shit. The distinct visual difference between the classes even at a distance was one of the best stylistic (and gameplay) elements of VC1.
>savescumming to beat the game
>>119745181
Say I have shit taste, but this might be a case to just watch it yourself. I asked the same question a while back, and someone told me to form my own opinion, so I watched it and it was a 6. 6 being Kill la Kill tier and 7 being Chaika tier. I enjoyed it like I did Kill la Kill, but it brings pretty little to the story of you've already played the game. It's reasonably faithful to the game, but did Maximillian with a bit of mediocrity. OP is shounen generic shit, so nothing special there.
>>119747796
It would have been better if the save system worked like that of Fire Emblem games (or at least the GBA and earlier ones, I haven't touched the new ones so I'm not sure how they function)
>>119746464
>VC3
>Mediocre at best
Nigga, did you play the game? It's the best of the three VC games in terms of pure gameplay.
If it was on the PS3, it would have been even better. It showed its limitations as a PSP game by having smaller levels and often repeated levels as well. But otherwise, in terms of gameplay mechanics, it's the best.
Edy best girl
>>119747796
The later missions are so fucking hard that I don't blame anyone. Savescumming isn't even enough for some of the last bosses. It's better just to suck it up and look up a guide. That's the only complaint I have with the first game.
The only reason I like this franchise is for the sisters.
>>119747937
Her sister was the only thing I liked about VC2. They're both adorable.
>>119747794
No you are interpreting it wrong. I mean each class has one body, and everyone that's under that class uses that body.
So say you are a shock trooper, you will have a shock trooper body. It doesn't matter if you're a girl or a boy, you will have the same body.
It doesn't even matter if you're one of the main characters, this applies all the same.
This gets to be a problem when you have girls who are 12 year old or some shit being the same as a 24 year old man in stature, and goes double for Largo retains his VC1 head size but gets a twig of a body giving him really fucked up proportions. As for the girls Selvaria and Juliana were wronged for obvious reasons.

That's hilarious, got any images?
>>119747939
I beat the first game without ever save scumming/looking up a guide. I just got really shitty ranks during the hard missions and people died.
VC2 was when I started save scumming, because I didn't find it that fun and just wanted to finish it fast.
>>119747937
100% incorrect. Edy is the worst thing about the franchise.
Does anyone know the status of the anon who was scanning the VC1 artbook?
>>119745181
It's probably going to be shit since you just played the game, but coming from someone who's only seen the anime and never played the game, I thought it was pretty cool.

This is actually alright compared to Lancer, since the upgraded class gets big ass robes. You don't get that luxury to start with. And for reference, everyone's heads are way smaller, just check the VC wiki they have galleries for each character.
>>119748067
>I just got really shitty ranks during the hard missions and people died.
I only ever reset a mission when someone died because in this sort of game I feel terrible when that happens. It feels like they put their trust in you to command them and you fucked up and got them killed.It took me ages to beat the episode with the pincer attach right after Alicia punks Selvaria because I kept losing units and I would restart every time I did. Finally beat it thanks to Largo's ten-turn mad dash to crit spot one of the big tanks.
>>119748080
Nevermind, looks like he's 300/400 on the /vcg/
>>119747939

>>119747982

Wow.

Ah I love her personality and animations, all relaxed and happy she just blew someone's brains out.
>>119748047
>>119748047
Man, Selvaria is such a wasted character.
I remember first playing the game thinking she'd play an important role in the plot. But she ends up just being Max's submissive little bitch.I was really hoping that we could convert her to our cause later on in the game, but no. She just kills herself for her master. We didn't even get that much of her in the DLC.

I don't about that, stalker-chan is pretty cute too.
>>119748309
VC is just a really flawed game with tons of potential that was squandered because of Sega. So as unfortunate as it is, I guess you couldn't have expected any less.
>>119748149
The Jaegar one? I just wasted a lot of CP using the Edelweiss doing hit and runs along with Marina/Largo sniping then hiding behind walls. I slowly advanced with Alicia and Aisha to the north part of the map going west.
The biggest danger for me that time was getting the guys in the alley and then finding a fucking tank as I ran out instant gibbing my shock trooper, but since it was Rosie I didn't lose anyone that time. Anyone else and they were dead.
I basically didn't fuck with Jaeger at all until I cleared the entire map and had an engineer with Edelweiss the whole time. And either the AI was stupid or I was lucky but Jaeger wastes a lot of CP smoking shit and almost half the time it ends up doing him no good even during the early stages because I simply choose to attack somewhere else then and force him to move his units out of the smoke.
Later on when I started capturing bases, he still does the same places and at best he puts my tank to 50% or lower, so I repair.
Once everything was cleared, I just retreated most of my guys and brought in a ton of lancers and one of them was gonna get near his ass.
I got a D on that mission or something.
>>119748434
Sega have squandered the potential of so many games in recent years. Why they still exist is beyond me. And they treat any good games that manage to slip out as prodigal sons unless they meet unrealistic sales projections.
>>119748309
To be fair, it's part of her character to be a waste/tragedy. That's the entire point of her contrast with Alicia.
I'm not saying that justifies it, but that was clearly what Sega was aiming for and it'd be pretty terrible to just change the entire theme and shit just so you can save the most popular girl in the series from an integrity standpoint.

Gotta love that VC1 aesthetic.
>>119745181
I'll be honest with you. While the destination was the same, the road was very different. For example:
1) Turning Alicia into generic tsundere, who hates being around Welkin for the first two or three episodes.
2) Taking the cabin scene and re-writing it so that the wounded soldier forces his way in, by threatening Alicia and Welkin with a grenade.
3) Forcing in a Love Triangle between Welkin, Alicia, and Faldio.
>>119748779
More fucked than a half Jewish Darcsen.
>>119748051
Better girl.
Is the game good? I've played a bit of the PSP game and it was alright until I got completely utterly stomped on one particular bullshit pseudo-stealth mission with fifty thousand tanks and shit.
>>119748878
I've only played VC1 but I loved it. Then again I've always loved tactics games so I'm sort of biased.
>>119748878
VC1 is the best game in the series, but isn't exactly perfect at the same time. Still, well worth a play.
>>119748707
VC1 aesthetic is GOAT.
>>119748051
Oh the memory it brings... My Marina and Cezary team was godly, each of them alone in their little spot wrecking shit as if it was a form of communication.I still remember the Selvaria mission where 2 units where insta gibbed by that fucking scout riflle then Marina 3shotted the bitch because she never misses.
>>119748205
She really is. I wish more cards were actually ripped, considering she has a lot of them.
>>119748743
I dunno I liked having danger of characters dying. It made me play differently and make irrational moves just because I favored certain characters.
VC2 I end up sending Zeri and Mischlette to their deaths so many times I would have had generic squad mates if it were VC1, all because of trying to get phoenix.
>>119748835
Faldio goes after Alicia in the anime?

>>119748450
Jaegar is scripted to always use his second move to smoke. If you kill everything he'll actually smoke the ace hiding in the alley and give away his location.
I wish there were difficulty settings so you could make the AI not so insipid but I guess that would have required coding AI to start with.
>>119747939
Are you serious? I did occasionally screw up a couple of times toward the end, but there wasn't any mission that you had to resort to savescumming to beat, even knowing nothing going into the mission. Not being able to A-rank? Sure, but unless you are just randomly charging your unit to certain death, they were highly beatable.
>>119748876
You my friend have the right idea. Catherine needs more love.
>>119749123
If the AI was better, the game would be fucking impossible unless you savescummed hardcore. You already get fucked up pretty bad, even if it is plenty beatable.
>>119749123
It's still better than VC2's AI. But yeah AI is one of the big things that could use improvements.
I still think the concept of VC as a game is wonderful and untapped though. It had a really good mix of cutscene/gameplay/artstyle/etc. The CANVAS engine is the type that ages well I think too. I sure as hell didn't find it all that lacking on PC.
Just a shame they didn't make a 4 and on. There's plenty of ways to continue, just don't connect it to Gallia.
>>119749206
The desert mission when Selvaria comes in halfway through is not easy unless you block her with your tank.
>>119748876That feel when she becomes a hermit.
>>119749220
As long as you don't play the English dub.
Christ almighty, as an Irish person I thought I was going to die. If I ever needed further evidence as to why you should always stick with the Japanese dialogue, Catherine was it.
>>119749299
That was such a huge difficulty spike it was ridiculous. Ended up being harder than half of the later missions and was vastly harder than everything leading up to it.

>>119748191
I nearly had an aneurysm on that mission after my carefully crafted plan to get get a shocktrooper past the enemy lines behind the tank failed miserably becauseLynn couldn't actually damage that tank with her MG.
I also realized after the first attempt that you could just park a lancer behind enemy lines before they show up, but felt that was cheating and stubbornly refused to do it.
>>119749299
So? Thats what most people would do after seeing someone instakill everyone but not make a dent in the tanks. Not trying to be all high and mighty but I introduced VC to a friend and he did it on his first try by basic intuition.

Faldio was Welkin's friend from College and in charge of Squad 1 in both game and anime.After discovering Alicia might be a descendant of the Valkyrur, he shot Alicia to awaken her powers, and later sacrificed himself in the final battle, that much was kept in regards to his character when they wrote the adaptation.
>>119748876
>I'm not done yet!
>>119749457
That strategy of blocking her with the tank requires a restart after getting completely shit on after she shows up. It's not a bad strategy, but having to restart to implement it is bad game design. Gives you absolutely no chance on the first try.
>>119749299
That and keep key units away from her, in VC3 I hit her with snipers on opposite sides of the field to make her look in different directions so my guys can move.
>>119749374
It's actually interesting. When I unlocked the bit about her story whereshe was forced to watch a friend die due to lack of ammo, it happened after I more or less accidentally recreated that incident.
>>119749299
Selvaria only really screwed me over the first time because the last radiator was the one on the inside of the map. The other two radiators are trivial, the Batomys will block her for you.
Is anybody else having to type out their captchas again?
>>119749299
It was definitely a huge difficulty spike, but not terrible unless you were extremely unlucky and lost all your lancers to her initial warpathing.
>>119749299
Nah it's actually really easy even if you don't block her. I lucked out on it unintentionally but here's how I managed A-rank on my first try:
>Start normally a bit more engineers and lancers than normal
>Op scouts take out the shitters at the top because op scouts
>Break down the walls with your tank and repair it if you can't find a way to hide it, I didn't and I ended up running Edelweiss ahead of the Batomys and straight to the last base camp because holy shit Batomys hurts.
>Take out the left reactor the first time Max blows up a wall while you run engineers/scouts/lancers to the trench past the 2nd base camp; basically the right side of where the Batomys is when it makes it's final stretch towards your final base camp
>Proceed as normal and Batomys will provide you cover because Selvaria runs to the left side of Batomys while your characters are all on the right
Basically once Selvaria appears, she b-lines to the left of the Batomys, and if you position the units right she has nowhere to shoot at you for a long time. Someone might get downed, but she won't have time to perma-kill them, and since you have 3-4 characters along that area saving each other when you can just ragnaid after you reach the downed unit.
Also, by breaking down all the walls after you've brought Edelweiss past them, you force the Batomys to fire a lot faster so you can get all 3 reactors down before Max even gets close to last camp.
>>119748948
Damn I got so pissed Cezarylost his memoriesIt was nice seeing a weird person in the middle of the war as if it was one of us trying to survive and play smart.
>>119749408
I'm not a Darcscen hater, they just happen to be the only characters with Phoenix that I use. I'd kill Anisette tons too but I already use Zeri/Franca/Marion/OP Lynn since I was save scumming anyways.
>>119749536
What? when I did it she just got stuck between edelweiss and the big-ass tank and I kept moving to accompany the big tank's movement. Did I just get lucky?
>>119749467
>Valkyriafus, more important than the war itself
It seems the real war has begun
Everybody seems set in their factions,
VC waifus
VC2 waifus
VC3 waifus
Edy/Licorices
Selvaria
>>119749627
Yes
>>119749503
I was talking about the gif anon.
>>119749791
You probably got lucky.
>>119749299I blocked both the Batomys and her with the Edelweiss and an engineer in the back.
>>119749824
Apologies. If I remember correctly, he was part of a Russian bomb squad that was doing a exhibition. Not too sure on the details regarding that though, or even that much was correct.
I want tohug_an Edy.
>>119749611
Same thing happened to me, momentarily giving both the sensation of awe at this amazing technology and dread as I though all the bad traits my units were unlocking were my fault.
>>119749490
She's actually the second-best lancer in the game, statwise. Basically identical to Jann but trades HP for Accuracy, and accuracy is the biggest problem for lancers throughout the game.
I want VC4, and I want the main character to be Bernd Baltzar.
>>119749980
>Not moving Lancers to the rear and jam big ass lances up their asses.
>>119749748
>Not purposely making them cross mines or bullet sponges
>Sure you're not
Did not know that, I always save my guys before they are forced out or the enemy gets them
Why ????
>>119745918
jesus fucking christ
I'm no longer upset that I don't own a PSP to play the sequels.
Had I actually paid money and discovered this on my own without looking into it I'd have been furious. Looks like absolute generic garbage.
>>119750043
>Not killing a second tank with front shots when your AP runs out as you run past the first tank
I mean, what else are you going to do, Ragnaid (S)?
>>119749980
are you counting Audrey?
>>119750088
Can't give a fuck about VC2 unfortunately.
>>119748876
My nigga
>>119750088
I don't know why they liked her so much, I didn't run into her that much and I don't remember anything about her that stood out.
>>119747937
>idolshit
>>119750190
Counting Audrey. If you don't count her then Elysse is the best lancer.
>>119750226
Because i want to seemuh master race women get fucked by muh inferior darcsen.But mostly becase i shipped them hard.
>>119749522
>Catherine is one of the few characters in the VC wiki to have her voice lines uploaded
Other waifus, are you even trying?
>>119748835
A bit I neglected to mention
To add on to 2): They took some of the most emotional scenes and changed them in some way or form, some good, but most bad.
They also gave Isara a love intrest, which was kinda cute, but didn't go far for obvious reasons.
Also, I do give the anime a shred of credit, though I'll likely take some flak for this. I think it took a more realistic approach to the use of the Valkyrur's power, and when I say realistic, I mean would most probably happen given certain high-up's in the military.You think that fatass Damon would just ignore the fact that Gallia posses a Valkyira? I don't think so.
>>119750279
Me too, I liked her tsundere behavior
I'm the only one who uses 3 or 4 units for most missions? I never had to use my entire squad
>>119746128
Who's into more darcsen men giving master race women the D ?
>>119750329
It's okay, I'll survive somehow
>>119750542
This is a common problem
>>119746587
I hate you right now because you're fucking right.
>>119750542
I did that too. I was almost disappointed that unit leveling didn't work like Fire Emblem, where I'd get a general, a sage and a swordmaster absurdly strong and blow through every scenario with just them
I've yet to install TN-V on the Vita to play VC2/VC3 ;_;
What happens to the Edelweiss after the war?
Back to the garage?Or did it blow up with Marmota?
>>119746587
Thank god Nintendo take up the helm for Bayonetta 2.
>>119750408
I do, he was an incompetent shit who wouldn't want his glory to be usurped by someone obviously more powerful than he was.
Do I wished so many times I could just shoot the smug little fuck in the back, especially after the anime and Selvaria's DLC.
>>119747937
She died in my game.
;_;
along with Dorothy.
>>119750542
Ironically I find VC2 to be a lot better than VC1 in this regard, simply due to having a lot more base camps to switch out characters/baton pass, and the size of the maps allowing other classes than scout to be useful.
VC1 unless it's something like the rescue Cordelia mission, there was almost no point in regularly using anything other than scouts/tank. Lancers/Eng/Snipers/Shocks were all very situational.
>>119750542
Same here, I start with 3 and sometimes 2, the others are used for leap frogging and flag defense. VC2 was my first so I am used to going in with 5 or less (I guess VC2 is useful), once I got to VC and VC3 (especially VC3) the games became easy after that. Besides you don't want a full team out just in case one of your guys get KO'd
>>119750576http://vignette1.wikia.nocookie.net/valkyria/images/6/6b/VC_Cezary_Potential2.ogg/revision/latest?cb=20141214230539
>>119750750
Getting the diplomas in VC2 is a pain in the ass, though.
>>119750717
Sega didn't develop Bayonetta though. VC gets hit twice as hard since Sega developed and published it.
>>119750798
You save scum that shit hard.
>>119750542
Yeah, I usually run around with a shocktrooper geared up with the Ruhm, have them kill about 50% of the map and have a few of the OP scouts running around, Marina or Catherine depending on my mood and a lancer if needed. I also usually tote around Karl as my engineer simply because Lynn is usually my shocktrooper.
>>119750725
Perhaps, but in the show she was placed directly under his command, and even if it was her doing the fighting, he is taking all the credit. Even in the game, he takes credit for other's actions.He blatantly took all the credit for Squad 7's work in the retaking of Ghirlandio AND Selvaria's capture in the game
>>119750542
>killing tanks with shock troopers + damage boost order
it feels like cheating
>>119749014
Why did it have to be fuggin Faldio?
It would have been more realistic if it was that one Scout guy from Bruhl who has the actual Alicia love triangle spot.
>>119750872
I know that, that's why I wanted the little faggot to die. But I will admit that's one of the few things the anime did better than the game.
Valkyria? What Valkyria? Nah, we let her run around like a common militia-woman.
>>119750872
Oh, and I couldn't agree with you more about ridding the world of that fat fuck.I was even singing Ode to Joy when he was annihilated in Selvaria's final flame.
>>119750884
Am I the only person who went through VC1 without ever using orders, not because to challenge myself, but simply because I was too engrossed in using units and just flat out ignored them?
I even remember buying them all, but I always FORGET. It never occurred to me to stack buff my scouts or shocks then go on a rampage. I just immediately thought "okay time to use someone else".
>>119750710Probably blew up with the Marmota, don't see how they would of saved the tank
>>119750890
Because nothing's more dramatic than the MC best friend who's a talented and handsome lady killer fall in love with a girl who's trying to woo the MC. It's soooo original.
>>119750890
To my memory, Noce wasn't even showed in the anime. There were alot of characters that either didn't show up, or had very little screen time. Like Catherine..seriously, she needs more love.
>>119750798
It was, I was just glad to get them.
>>119750748
Good thing about VC2 was that with the 5 to 6 person limit, you are forced to utilize your team to it's best.
I used scouts to start tagging enemies and cover ground, snipers to clear the field in sight, and gunner to defend flags, engineers to restock, and the tank all the time. Everybody else was on standby.
>>119750728
I deleted my save file and started over when I lost Edy.
>>119750542
Perfectly normal.
>japanese porn games
>having good gameplay
>making sense
>>119751077
Wouldn't it be S rank, since it was over in one turn?
>>119751006
but Faldio is his college friend. Noce is potentially his childhood freind, and is in fact is Alicia's childhood friend for sure.
I'm at a loss for why they didn't just use him, since that love triangle actually exists in-game.
This is now a Darcsen thread.
>>119751134
Not in the US
>>119750961
I never used them except in VC2, you don't really need them in VC and VC3
>>119751129
English localization shifted all the ranks up by one. A rank = S rank
>>119751134
You can't S rank.
At least not in VC
>>119751167
Damn dirty Darcsen scum.
>>119751162
Because nothing is more dramatic than to have your best friend have romantic feelings towards your girlthen proceeds to shoot her in the back, after mentally snapping from the loss of his squad.
>>119751162
There is mention in Faldio's profile of him being a womanizer.
>>119750961
I got through 2/3 of the game without bothering with ordered, then used "caution", felt like a god, and decided to never use it again.
>>119751071
Personally I think stand by is an iffy mechanic. On one hand, it's great for the PSP due to the limitations, and granted it makes it easier to leap frog thus utilizing slow units in more situations.
But it basically splits classes into campers and chargers. Scouts/Engies/Shocks charge while Snipers/AT just clear shit around camp 99% of the time. The only class with remote consistency in not favoring one over the other is Lancer, and that's only due to the option of charging past a tank and one shotting them.
For a game like VC1, not being able to teleport units in would have changed it drastically. For better or worse, I cannot say, but I can't help but feel there might have been a way to utilize ap in a more fun manner. A way that makes you contemplate whether or not it's worth running that sniper all the damn way to a certain nest or something instead of it always being an obvious yes/no decision.
I mean when the #1 way to flank an enemy is to appear behind them through a captured flag on another map, you know the game has zero formation value.
>>119751223
Huh? Not on the PC port it would seem, I've been getting S rank.
>>119751251
just... so oily
>>119751167
Ugh...just so...oily.
>>119751303
My PC port doesn't have S rank only A.

>>119751006
By the story that the anime portrays, she has more of a connection with Faldio, with interation with Welkin actually put to a minimum for a few episodes, from what I remember. Welkin actually shows very little intrest in her for the majority of the first half of the series.

Fuck off, Darcsen Haters.
>>119751552
>>119751383
But Cezary becomes a darcsen lover after the war!
>>119751300
I used my gunners for camping, the way I did it was if I knew there was an enemy with high armor and high attack, I would switch snipers with gunners and I would space them out so that their fire pattern overlapped. I had more kills with snipers than any other class, due to all the upgrades and the priority for leveling up I gave them.
VC was the last one I played I find it a little harder due to the gameplay differences from VC2 and VC3. I don't like the fact that I have to wait for reinforcements
>>119748707
That's great except that it implies VC2 was the best one.
