Valkyria Chronicles 2

[Kiarax]

You must have missed someone. They like to hide random dudes in out-of-the-way grass areas and stuff. Need to make sure you check out every nook and cranny.

[Tyrath]

Yeah I tried them again and found them all, thanks.

I really like that every character seems to have a negative potential that can be turned into a good one if you use them enough and then do their mission. I have a small set of characters as my main team though its making the completionist in me want to start using everybody xD

[Draylo]

I will have to look into DLing this, I liked ps3 version but never finished it... too many games to play now!

[Tyrath]

Unlockable VC1 characters *new*

These characters can join your squad at any time in the game, but have no character-specific missions.

Alicia Gunther Beat the game once.
Brigette "Rosie" Starks Have the Shocktrooper class reach level 50.
Largo Potter Have the Lancer class reach level 50.
Zaka Have the Armored Tech class reach level 50.

I didn't realize they went past 25 O_o

[Kiarax]

Me neither, God damn I need to get back to this. Having withdrawals but I'm so close to finishing BBS now, lol. I wonder if Alicia will be God mode in this one like she was in the first. Maybe level 50 is a New Game+ thing? (And hopefully a hard mode, this one feels a lot easier than the first so far).

[lilfoo]

I have been grinding hardcore in my first run cause i wont god mode scouts like i did in VC1. once all(?) classes hit 25 the bar expands to 50.

Sure surprised the hell out of me.

[Zilong]

Scout kinda blows in this game since orders are so goddamn expensive CP wise and Grenade Launcher is the heavy scout tree that cuts down the mobility

That alongside the fact that Elite Trooper's movement ain't that bad and the fact that Commando destroys lives...makes scout pretty meh.

Also, APC + sniper and armor tree is pretty broken as well.

And if you play on CFW, do yourself a favor and get the undubbed version.

Anyway, back to grindan, fucking credits farming suuuuuucks.

Oh, unlock Isara by linking PS3 vc data, what'shername from PSP2 + extra mission for PSP2 saber for tech class by linking PSP2 data (japanese data works for english)

I don't know what the hell is wrong with me but... I stayed up all night making a new save just to show a friend how an approximation of how I A ranked the April story mission. This strategy works so well that tiredness, lack of the right classes (really wanted a scout vtn rather than engineer vtn, etc) and generally shitty playing (I blame the tiredness partially here!) didn't stop me from winning in 3 turns and A ranking. It can be done even better if you feel like farming for the right classes and for a gattling flamethrower like I had the first time through.
This isn't my exact battle plan from the first time since I didn't know what was where, but this is close enough. This time I sorta made up for my lack of equip/classes/half-decent playing with knowledge of the battlefield.


Spoilers if you haven't already done the April stuff, obviously but here goes.

Spoiler: show

I really fucked up on the grenade with my scout, it's possible to knock them both away from the camp and take it using 1CP, which is what I ended up doing my first time through... basically imagine this without me knowing about turrets and me playing 20x better and basically you will be able to have a pretty decent mental picture as to how this went the first time through

Anyway... off to get some much needed rest.

DLC rolling out soon

http://www.joystiq.com/2010/09/14/va...er-this-month/

The excellent PSP strategy RPG, Valkyria Chronicles 2, will receive DLC in "one huge pack" later this month. Sega will have more details and pricing sometime this week. The first mission pack revealed by the publisher will take players to Mellvere for a challenge "unlike any you remember from the initial campaign."

For fans of the first game -- who want something creepy -- Sega has also revealed the code to unlock Isara Gunther as a playable character: 37LRK5D214VQVFYH. If Sega has included the same unlockable characters featured in the Japanese version of the game, expect future codes for Faldio Landzaat and Maximilian from the original Valkyria.

[Kiarax]

Looks like the Faldio code is out now. He's a Lancer: GWNU95RSETW1VGNQ
Another sticker, didn't even check what bonus it gives: TXU14EUV74PCR3TE

Gonna be another code tomorrow apparently, but PSP2 comes out too so I'm guessing it'll be Emilia + bonus missions, which is already possible to get if you use a PSP2 save.

[Araelus]

In case you missed the TGS2010 thread,

confirmed that Valkyria 3 is gonna be for PSP

Well, congrats ...

[Zilong]

Well, they definitely aren't getting my money then

I'm a big enough fan to get it day one on PS3, but not big enough to ignore the fact that I have a modded PSP

[Correction]

Sega: allergic to money.

[Kiarax]

Sega: allergic to money.

Week 1 sales were better for VC2 in Japan, US and Europe. Continuing sales are slightly less overall, but considering how much cheaper it is to develop for the PSP, they probably made a whole lot more with VC2 than they did VC1. Sounds like they're going exactly where the money is really.

[Doombear]

I wouldn't mind that so much IF my ears weren't ringing from the VC2 Cutscene Dialogue:

- Uhhh
- HAHA
- No way
- Uhhh
- Hmmm
- Alright!
- Uhhh
- HAHA
- Mmmm
- Ok!

I mean seriously... it hurts after a while to listen to it. I like the music though, so doing away with the sound altogether isn't really a solution for me. Does it bother anyone else or am I crazy?

?

[Doombear]

Well shit... Not sure why i didn't do that. I guess I may do that. I hadn't really spent much time looking for an Undub. Thanks Elcura.

[Tyrath]

The only thing that bothers me is Avan's laughter.

[Zilong]

Selvaria suuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu uuuuuuuuuuuuuuucks

Seriously, scouts are shit as it is, do you really have throw in an extra character with just 2 potentials on top of that for me to not use?

I'm having hard time justifying using Aliasse as it is, and she is leap and bound better than Selvaria could ever be
