Up to now, we have not seen the Emperor or heard of his views on the Gallian war. Very clearly, his 'commoner' son had violated one of the cardinal rules of war: fighting to inflate his ego. I'm of the opinion that the old fellow might cut a deal with Cordelia and switch to cloak-and-dagger methods to undermine Gallia.

So, I found an interesting piece of music from 1941 that put me in mind of someone we should know. The work in question is "Es war ein Edelweiss", composed for none other than the Wehrmacht Heer.

How Valkyria Chronicles Has Been Ruined in the West
 

I'll see that and raise this Destructoid blog entry. On a related note, I will reiterate my opinion that the larger war that serves as the backdrop for the misadventures of Welkin and company would've been a fine basis for a third-person 'Battlefield Gallia' or even something akin to EndWar.

There are dozens of game types that the Gallian-Imperial War and the Second Europan conflict could be used for. A game similar to CDV's "Blitzkrieg" series, or Codemaster's "Soldiers" are two very different but interesting RTS that would be examples of what could be done. But what we have in that case is Valkyria Chronicles trying to be something else.

Innovation is what was praised in the Destructoid article, despite Valkyria having many standard qualities. Although many things carried over from early production, the only really innovative thing that Valkyria Chronicles/Gallian Panzers had at the time was its visual style (which should hopefully influence later fantasy and RPG games). Its gameplay seemed very much akin to another tactical RPG known as "Operation Darkness," itself a fantasy Second World War game. Basically it's pick a unit, choose a path for the unit to move, choose to engage and hope you hit and score a one-shot. It was very different from BLiTZ.

The question is how do they innovate in an attempt to revive popularity? The last two games were a step backwards in many respects and the last was kind of a reserving of week old leftovers. The new card battle game is too early to tell, but I'm not ready to jump up and down over it. There is the history they have created of the larger world setting of Valkyria Chronicles. In my opinion, BLiTZ could be applied to a game set in the 18th to mid-19th centuries.

hey anyone know if there will be another valkyria chronicles game besides 1-3

Not that we know of, except the production team want to do one that cents on Atlantic Federation countries that are involved in the war against the Empire.

Also going to add something that I found in the VC3 artbook as the team wants to make a game that centers in on the AF's involvement in their war against the Imperial Alliance.

Sega to Release Valkyria Chronicles Tactical RPG on PC

To put my reaction to that that night lightly.

YYYEEEEAAAAAHHHHHHHH! Sometime the love-hate relationship I have with Sega pays off :bow:
