Nah. Director only hint of a DLC, but never mentioned about it's contents. Which got Edy demanding that it should focus on her before kicking him out.

But my take of the next DLC will be a branching story between this game and the next.

Seems like the mostly like conclusion. Still i wouldn't mind if it's just something set in the first game's timeline.

Would it involve ethnic Darcsens with baseball bats and knives looking for Imperial stragglers? *tongue in cheek*

Apparently the Japanese just love her "type" of character. Tsudere twin-tail.

Color me confused. I judge her mostly on her combat worthiness and therefore I place her extremely low on the totem pole.

And if there're more DLCs, all the better. I just don't like the comment that the Japanese don't feel that they're done with the PS3 yet. They damn well better not be done with the PS3. They had better eventually be another game on it.

Amen.

This and the Disgaea series are two of the most addictive games I've ever played.

I wish they'd get out there and think up some good new storylines that exploit the PS3. Heck, they could just as easily do an EW I game, or a game set 15-20 years later on the same scale. Or games from the Empire or Federation's point of view. Show us the first great commander named Gunter in EW I... or show us the one who comes after Welkin. (And will she take after her mom?)

They went to the trouble to create a verdant field of possibilities... now DO something with it: like an online head to head game of Imps vs. Gallians. I'd love to have a human opponent in this game. The AI is a bit soft/weird/odd/quirky sometimes, and it's more fun to beat another human, because they're unpredictable. Pick a side, pick a map, and go at it.

As for the Edy Adventures, well, more missions is more missions. I look at having to use Edy as an added challenge. I'd rather have a true sequel for the PS3, but I'll take what I can get. I don't get the fascination, but I have my own favorite characters.

Today's fun moment: Elysse at level 20 taking down the Marmota in 2 shots. Guess I really didn't need 4 lancers for that mission, huh? lol. And yeah, she took out each gatling turret in 1 shot, too. (So did Jann.) Man, that mission was such a pain in the butt the first time I went through the game. Second time was cake.

Any ldea if Jane will be included in any of these dlc?

Spoiler for Mission 7:

At first I used a ton of Lancers too on that mission and was using them on the coolers even. But then I realized that an engineer can just climb up and throw a grenade for an insta kill them. The Batomys still takes a ton of rounds/time to finish though cause it moves so slow... When you get to the point where you can actually kill it though it's no problem. Nils is also kickass for finishing it off.

And I love using Elysse too; she's my favourite Lancer.

Spoiler for Mission 17:

With 'Awaken Potential' and 'Demolition Boost' she can fire endlessly at the Lupus and kill it in on turn 2. She just keeps getting more and more ammo, you just need to save most CPs from the first round.

Yeah i know what you mean. First time around i had a bit of trouble, having to retry the level at least three times. Can't even believe i got an A on my third go at that stage on my first play.

God, I hope so. But I hold not my breath. I'd think Susie and Nancy would be more likely to be in the DLC... because, you know, incompetent characters add a certain level of challenge.

Spoiler for Mission 7:

Yeah, instead of an engineer, I use Alicia to toss grenades in the radiators, because she has more AP, and if she dies, well, it won't kill the mission completely. I keep Nadine close to my lancers, just in case they want a reload, and she can backup Alicia if Alicia gacks. She can also run to the Edelweiss and save it if need be, while the Edelweiss tosses a smoke round on top of Selvaria to cover her.

To be honest, most of mission 7 for me is waiting.

From SEGA's official Valkyria twitter:

"Just in case anyone missed it - more Valkyria DLC is coming to the US this winter! Edy, Marina, Jann, and other favorites will all be there!"

The twitter (ValkyriaTribune) was the best place for updates last time too.

[JagdPanther]

How about Freesia?

Chances are it'll be the same Edy team as the first DLC.

[SoggySoyBean]

Seeing as this will probably be the last DLC for the ps3 game, I was hoping that Isara would finally be a playable engineer Seems exceedingly unlikely though

[videoman190]

My favorites are Nancy (because she reminds me of Fio of Metal Slug and she's cute), Ted, Freesia, Hannes, Jane (Because of the Rambo movies) and Dallas!

[jwai]

Urrah! I've finally ploughed through to the end of VC, with all classes at level 20, and all R&D upgrades researched.

Spoiler:

I didn't think Faldio was that strong to drag Maximilian, especially with all that extra gear. Max didn't seem to offer much resistance either

Alicia's pretty damn cute with just a single ponytail

It's going to be a slight bother having to get all the characters again in the cleared game. I guess I'll finally get a crack at the DLC missions too.

Spoiler for Ending scenes etc:

Maximilian was probably exhausted from all that unnatural power being contained in his body and, of course, being given a beating from the player...

I recommend playing through the second time with characters you didn't use before to unlock more profile entries. Also, your fully upgraded lvl 20 characters will be overpowering for just about all the missions now, so you can afford to use chars with negative traits more. Perhaps omit Alicia, Rosie and Largo from the lineup for less CP to increase the difficulty some more.

EDIT: Just adding that you don't need to complete the game to unlock more profile entries by the way... it's simply the way I chose to get them.

I LOVED having the maxed-out classes through the first several missions. Made things a total breeze. I had tons of left-over CP in some missions to use to just screw around.

Must say, it is pretty fun completing a mission only using one CP.

Kind of disgusting, but fun in a OMGWTFPWN'D kind of way.

I loved in the first few missions how you could kill pretty much any any soldier with the ZM Kar 5(g) with a single headshot or a whole magazine if they were crouching.

And my new router should be here today so hopefully I'll be online by the weekend and I'll finally be able to get the DLC.

Yay.
