As I said, it's not just the pirates. In fact, I could even add those who went berserk over the decision to abandon the PS3 and go with the PSP as well. Many of the users I talked to who loved the original game started ranting how they were abandoning the series because they wanted a full fledged PS3 version. Valkyria 2 improved on many of the things the first one did and added new things as well, while introducing several logical limitations because of the hardware. The third improved further and made the game easier to understand, but just as difficult to beat, probably more. Yet those who were angry over the course the series took didn't buy the second and now logically won't buy the third.

I was always disappointed with the "fans" who claimed they wouldn't buy 2 after its jump to the PSP. Was I disappointed when they announced 2 was going to be on the PSP? Well yeah, but it didn't stop me from buying and enjoying the game. It had its own charms that I really enjoy.

And really, it isn't ALL that much more lighthearted than the first. Sure, the beginning is all happy go lucky, but once things kick in, it starts getting pretty dark, what with all the betrayals and deaths and mistreatment of a poor 13 year old girl who finally learns what life should be like.

The villains were also a bit more... evil, I guess. I could sympathize with Max, but I really couldn't with the Gassenarls. Yeah, Max was a jerk, but he was a jerk with problems. The Gassenarls just seem incredibly spiteful. In fact, all of the generals from the first had some redeeming factor.

I must have played the wrong game... Gregor? Redeeming qualities? Selvaria did, Jaeger too, but Maximilian? Debatable. Gregor? Nope. None.

I completely agree that the Gassenarls were horrible. I loved it when they died.

Yeah, I'm aggravated at these false fans too...

I was hoping it would at least bring new fans to the series.

Gregor cared for his troops, which won me over for him, despite him being a complete monster later on. He easily could have put a bullet in both Welkin and Alicia when he and his squad stumbled onto them, but he let them go because of the compassion they showed for one of his own men. Of course, if he HAD killed them, it would have really messed with the flow of the game, so he naturally had to let them go, but that's semantics.

As for Maximilian, I guess maybe redeemable isn't exactly the right word, but I did feel sorry for him, and I can sympathize with the effects his upbringing would have on his mental state.

Damn, if they actually said they weren't bringing it over, that's like a punch in the balls. It's painful to think that we won't get a VC game.

If only they'd stuck with the PS3...

Are you talking about the anime? I didn't watch it nor felt really interested in it. Even if you say that, his treatment of darcsens would have invalidated any point he might have gotten.

The series was moved to the PSP because the first game didn't sell as well as they expected. I doubt there was much choice because of production costs.

No, I think I made it through only 2 or 3 episodes of the anime before I stopped. It was a scene from the game. I can't remember the chapter number, but it was the one where Welkin and Alicia get separated from the rest of the squad and have to reunite with them. In the middle of the night, they come across a wounded Imp who eventually dies. So they bury him and what not. Gregor and his men come across them, and because of the respect they showed his troop, he decides to let them go, which naturally results in them kicking his butt. But I do agree, he was horribly evil to the darcsens and overall, he was a total jerk (understatement alert), but he did have redeeming qualities. In fact, since that chapter takes place before the Fouzen chapters, it shocked me to see him act so dispicably. Made me want to work harder to beat him.

That wasn't Gregor. The guy looked similar, but the voice actor was different.

I just gave the game a check. The nice guy doesn't have a decorated uniform. Gregor's looks different with the stuff on his chest and shoulders. I'd say he was likely a platoon leader comparable to Welkin, in Gregor's division.

Just found out about this in this thread. I feel so sad to find this out ;_;

Why Sega! Why! I've bought 2 copies of 1 (gave 1 away. Hopefully that got a new fan), 1 physical copy of 2 and a digital copy of 2! I even bought every bit of DLC the day they came out. Why Sega!

Huh, well then yeah, Gregor is a complete monster. I stand corrected.

Oh, and to the person above me who mentioned Fate/Extra, Siliconera just released an interview with Aksys in which they mention they might have some news related to Marvelous at AX. Combine with the two "PSP games RPG fans should know about" that they're supposed to be announcing, it could potentially be one of them. They could be just about anything though.

What about your relationship with Marvelous?

AV: Come to our panel! [Laughs]

FW: We love Marvelous! If you like Marvelous, as much as we do, maybe come check out Anime Expo… [Laughs]

I promised a friend I'd post here, hoping Aksys will take up localizing the game

The Gassenarls aren't THAT bad, we don't really get to see any "redeeming" qualities but I would really only call the son a monster. The father mostly wanted power and for Gallia to be it's best, the sister was mostly just a devout follower of a religion and followed whoever was in charge. They aren't complete monsters, though they aren't nice people either which I think is fine.

I also adore 2 and think it gets -your mother is a classy lady- on far to much, no it wasn't a perfect game but it is NOT a worse game because it's on the PSP and that it's not following the exact same characters and story. I think it had it's problems, but it also had it's pros as well and it provided a lot of improvements over the first game.

It's story isn't perfect either, but it's not as light hearted as people say it is, and 1 isn't as dark as people like to say it is. It annoys me when it's put on this pedistel of being some Ultimate Game, when it was just a very good game, but a game none the less and one with it's own problems.

Well looks like Sega really isn't going to bring it here: http://www.gamespot.com/psp/strategy/valkyria-chronicles-iii-unrecorded-chronicles/news/6339405/valkyria-chronicles-iii-not-coming-to-us-and-europe

Perhaps this will make it easier for someone else to localize it...

Well we do have that Updated Re-Release coming out next Month in Japan, maybe Aksys can bring it over? of course this assumes SEGA will even let another company touch one of their products, even though they have no interest in releasing it themselves.

No, this is the final nail in the coffin. If Sega had any intention at all of allowing a another company to localize the game, they would have simply kept quiet abotu it. The fact that they outright said it wasn't coming over means, basically, that there is no chance at all that we will ever see an official English release of VC3.

That's a big bummer. I'm playing it in Japanese. The game gets pretty hard to follow so an English version would've been great.

I love how they blame it on the sales of 2. I bought 2 but not everyone in the west cares about the psp and sega knew that handhelds where dead in the west for the most part. Japanese handheld sales are not the same as western sales. Oh lets not forget sega's fail at marketing the game. Oh well I have 3 anyway but it still blows.
