Valkyria Chronicles Gashapon

Valkyria Chronicles Gashapon - Rosie / 戦場のヴァルキュリア ロージー

These are fantastic! And only ¥300… surely essential for Valkyria Chronicles fans – only problem is that with so many characters in the game everyone is going to feel their favourites are left out: where are Selvaria, Aisha and Wendy?

Alicia Figure Due (Valkyria Chronicles)

Valkyria Chronicles Alicia Figure 戦場のヴァルキュリア アリシア フィギュア

Being a great fan of Valkyria Chronicles I couldn’t help but notice that finally the game is getting some interesting figure treatment (if we exclude the awful promotional launch figure); this Alicia figure is due for release in September, and apparently is designed with the aid of some novel software; the results certainly seem impressive (boots and armour are particularly well done, see below), but I am still not sure about the face – perhaps it is just the photograph or angle, but it looks a little plain.

Valkyria Chronicles – Review

Valkyria Chronicles Review - Selvaria is glorious

Having finally finished 戦場のヴァルキュリア/Valkyria Chronicles, I am in a position to review and recommend it; my earlier impressions also still stand, view them here and here for additional detail and more screenshots. Valkyria Chronicles is really one of the first truly next generation games for the PS3, and probably heralds the maturation of the platform. It is easy to recommend, in fact difficult not to recommend, on every level; for anyone who is a fan of wargames, RPGs or anime, it is a game which is absolutely indispensible. Enough with the general impressions – what of the game proper? What of Alicia’s swimsuit? Read on for both.

  • Ah, I see, about the same as me there. The DLC or better yet a quick sequel is what I'm hoping for, but I'm not sure just how well it has done...... More

  • Ah sorry, I meant that the 30 hrs are just the time my playstation displays in the savefile-manager. So it does not include the actual playtime with reloading etc. I sure have actually saved/loaded a... More

I was enthused before, and more play reveals 戦場のヴァルキュリア/Valkyria Chronicles to possess astonishing quality in terms of gameplay, as well as graphics and production values. This is Hans, by the way.

Valkyria Chronicles - First Impressions

Valkyria Chronicles - Screenshots

Finally the long awaited RPG 戦場のヴァルキュリア/Valkyria Chronicles has hit the store shelves, at least in Japan. I’m usually not one to get taken by prerelease excitement, but my anticipation was such that I had to get up early (or rather, stay up late) and brave the uncertain Tokyo weather in a jaunt to Bic to pick up a copy. I’ve taken some time out from playing it to provide my first impressions and plenty of detail on the game.

Valkyria Chronicles very soon

Valkyria

This is 戦場のヴァルキュリア, or Valkyria Chronicles. I am eagerly awaiting this strategic RPG for the PS3, out in mere days (the 24th). Details on the actual gameplay seem to have taken a backseat to shots of the stunning cutscenes and beautiful character designs. The tanks are also quite nice… Here are some shots of the trailer I took; I will doubtless post a more detailed look after the release.
