    Just recently got back in JRPG's (I guess you could consider FF: Tactics one, or Lost Odyssey) is this a franchise worth checking out?

    I like the combination of what appears to be an action/strategy game and a role playing game.

    Also, does Valkyria Chronicles come out on any other platforms? I thought I saw something for it on PS3...maybe I was wrong. #valkyriachronicles2

    @Koztah: Cool, I have heard many good things about it. Looks like this is a series I will have to get into.

    Just watched a game play video, looks like my type o' thing!

    The blend of real time gun play/tactics/and squad based commanding looks well executed.

    I love these little gems that go under the radar here in the states :D

    You can get these games/demos without leaving your house.

    Simply make yourself a Japanese PSN account. But be warned, when you transfer games/demos to your PSP, you are required to set it to a specific region....so you can't stockpile games from different regions on your PSP at the same time.

    I've got about 20 Japanese, and 5 American PS1 games sitting on my PS3 hard drive right now. When you change regions on your PSP, it will wipe clean all of the games from the previous region on your PSP. Fortunately, the save data from all of your games will remain on your system no matter what it region it is set to. And all of those games will still be sitting on your PS3's/PC's hardrive...so you can just change the region and transfer them back to your PSP an infinite number of times. #valkyriachronicles2

    @FarmboyinJapan: Indeed, I was just about to comment with "Green with envy? Why not just download the stuff for yourself?" which is exactly what I plan on doing.

    VC2 is one of my most anticipated games of 2010 (perhaps slightly behind FF13, now that I've been reminded how much I love console RPGs by Demon's Souls), I can't wait to play it in English. #valkyriachronicles2

    @FarmboyinJapan: Might try this, i've got two psps now (since i got the go) so i might turn my old one into a storage unit for exclusive japanese stuff. How can i pay for items from different regions though, can i pay by credit card or do i need japanese psn cards. #valkyriachronicles2

    @simplyPARTICLE:

    You could just as easily do that...have one PSP be set to one region. I've got two PSPs as well (1000 and 3000), and I thought about doing that, but I'm sorry...once you've enjoyed the 3000's screen...its extremely tough to go back to the older models. So what I usually do is just wipe my memory card's game data whenever I want to change region...rather than just use a separate PSP for a separate region (the infinitely more convenient option).

    In terms of purchasing content with credit cards...while you technically CAN do that...when you sign up for the Japanese PSN, you have to put provide an address as well (don't worry, any bullshit address will work). The thing is, I am pretty sure that the address you provide when you sign up, and and the billing address for the credit card you want to use have to match or its no dice.

    I would recommend trying to use the Japanese PSN network cards/tickets. I am pretty sure that play-asia or whoever sells them. #valkyriachronicles2

    @Chrysolite: Has GEN gotten PS1 emulation and CWCheat working? I've heard that you can't play PS1 ROMs on it anymore, and having a portable copy of Einhander on me at all times is one of the reasons I use CFW in the first place. That and I do enjoy taking screenshots in Monster Hunter. #valkyriachronicles2

    Couldn't one make a Japanese account? I mean, it's the PSN. Back when the Killzone 2 demo came out in the UK, weeks before the game's release, people were making UK accounts. I haven't bothered with a Japanese account, but is there something I'm missing that would restrict the same loophole? #valkyriachronicles2

    Hey, remember when the sequel didn't look worse than the game it was a sequel to?

    Yeah, that was great.

    It feels pretty much they chopped and killed the beautiful graphics of the first game. The graphics are not near the original and I don't get the same feeling from this.

    @ShadowOdin of dubious snowiness: I think there's a good chance of the Canvas engine returning in for some spectacular cutscenes which we know the PSP is capable of. In-game I was seldom struck by the game's graphics, because they're just a nice little take on cel-shading really.

    These clips have filled me with great relief. Sure the graphics took a hit, but the gameplay itself looks to be as intense as its predecessor.

    They so should not have put a 2 in the title. Since seriously that deserves to be on the PS3 instead.

    Regardless of that do hope the game turns out to be half decent.

    @Witzbold: I was thinking the same thing. If it was some sort of sidestory, I wouldn't be nearly as hesitant about it and the (apparently) simplified nature of the gameplay.

    We can still hope for an enhanced port graphically on par with the original, I suppose. Or perhaps it'll sell so well that there will be a third one on a home console... kind of like MH3.

    @Witzbold: @Witzbold: I agree. I think they should have just gone with Valkyria Chronicles: Portable or Valkyria Chronicles PSP (Yeah, its obvious).

    They should have left 2 for the PS3. I don't really like the idea of progression through a franchise jumping platforms.

    That said, i'm incredibly excited about the new game and I hope to see even more VC in the near future.

    Way to go Sega!

    The only thing I didn't like about the original was how so many battles would have unique mechanics or sudden twists that would require you to restart the level once you figured them out.

    Not that that's going to stop me from getting this. But it sure made the first one a real chore when it wasn't busy being awesome.
