Valkyria Chronicles 2, already derided by fans for abandoning the PS3 in favour of a cheap PSP sequel, has attracted even more opprobrium for completely abandoning the storyline of the previous game/anime, with the new game blithely resurrecting no less than four characters who died in the previous story.
Naturally this disclosure imparts spoilers:
Zombies?
Whilst including bonus characters from other franchises might be quite normal, including much loved characters who died in the course of the main storyline in a game ostensibly set in the same universe, and after the events of the original, is a severe stretch at the very least, and sacrilege at worst.
It seems Sega could scarcely have done more to alienate fans of the original series, whom it has already openly scorned as being surplus to its demographic requirements; with Sega having already said any commercial failure will likely scotch any proper sequels, it seems the franchise will be over despite scarcely having begun.
Dumbest move ever
what the?
this is like square bringing Aeris back to life for some “FFVII-2 volleyball chronicles”..
ugh i just don’t know anymore ¬_¬
As stated by other users the “dead” characters are simply bonus features with no place in the game’s plot. The fact that they are mostly unlocked using codes should make that point fairly obvious.
Nice. I want those preorder bonuses.
Unless you have proof that these are story characters and not bonuses (Selvaria was already confirmed to be a bonus, incidentally) then this is a terrible post.
