[yezhanquan]

Call me a spoiler whore, but considering what happened to Juliana, did she appear as her younger self in VC3?

I can't read japanese but i still recall some chinese... click on the pic and zoom in for big huge version. Text is legible that way.
Actually I think the 71 is actually 7-1 (kinda like xv88 is actually xv8-8 not 88). The 1 might be refering to vehicle # or something to that effect since the 車 radical is well car. 7 looks like its related to the squad-oh wait it might be:
M.71 is Medium class, 7th squad, 1st tank.
I've seen identificationnomenclature like that before, were numbers clumped together are actually read seperate.
M is medium i'm guessing from the 中 ideograph/radical/character/kanji
probably wrong about that. I can make out name and work under "b.t" but...yea... i shouldn't even try haha xD

For instance, I used Kurt for the last mission of chapter 3 in order to nuke the hell out of the first tank: bringing imca and another lancer and attacking the tank will lead to an amusing 2/3 HP damage with a single CP, with less chances for the lancers to be toasted by the tank intercept fire, and you also have advanced both lancers way more than they would have if you used them individually.

Because of the glitch and the innherent issue with intercept fire in VCIII, it is hard to choose between scout or tech for kurt (tech would just mean you are certain to bring 2 units wherevere you want ).
Either way, I left the +20AP accessory for Kurt's personal use, just because of the special

Kurt special is great if you want those S rank on later mission XD. On the other hand though, Valkyria + Open Fire Combo is quite deadly to clear the map of enemy/weaken them considerably. I guess the tactical gameplay played out here what you want to use your SP for since SP won't be restored during battle.

Interception Fire hurts a lot here ><, so No damage super potential is godlike here since you can just go past a tank with a lancer and damage it radiator. Fencer class got shafted a lot unfortunately since VC2 and it's not as useful here.

The one aspect that I think this game did great for me is at its character. The characters are really diverse here from a real criminal to some men/women that is falsely accused and get sent to Nameless, and it make the character quest much more interesting. The two heroines backstory is quite interesting too, not to mention Kurt's himself and his crunching-candy-loudly habit :P

Not gonna spoil the ending, although I have to say I'm pretty impressed XD.

BGM is really good too. I don't like VC 2 BGM at all, and I can say I really like the BGM in this one. I particularly like Riela's theme song

Overall, I'm gonna give this game 9/10. -1 for not being able to kill a certain boss late game :P

Militia uniform is hot!

[Runty]

As long as some people have the game, care to give us some details on the character backgrounds?

[kuroishinigami]

You sure you want to be spoiled? It will make the character quest less interesting when you play it in English (assuming you still remember when it come out XD)

Spoiler for spoiler for character:

Spoiler for you've been warned:

Cedric is a real big criminal. He is basically a murderer, looter, and have done all other bad things. He's one of the rare real criminal that is sent to the squad.

Ada is an ex-police that is obsessed with capturing Cedric and sending him into death row that she lost her job for not cooperating with her superior that sent Cedric to the Nameless squad instead of death row.

Gizelle is a psychotic pyromaniac(who thinks fire as her friend) and she's sent to Nameless for Arson.

Frederica is a spy who use honey-trap to extract information from others, but she got found out and volunteer to join Nameless to escape from those people who chase after her.

Zahar is a former-general from the same country as the enemy general. He used to be considered a hero in his country before retiring after discovering the talent within Jaeger.

Shin is a half-gallian half-japanese(they doesn't explicitly say Japanese, just some country in further east than Empire) who was sent to Nameless because of his heritage, but he actually took pride in defending Cordelia in Nameless.

Alphonse is a former-noble detective who was sent there because illegal way to acquire some Personal Information(he's a Private Detective)

Valerie is a history professor who got sent there because she dug out the real history of Darcsen at Randgriz Castle

Amy need money to help is artist father keep chasing his dream and she's tricked into Nameless with the promise a good amount of money.

Gloria is sent into nameless because she smuggles some weapon. She's also working as prostitute "madam" although she used to be a spy who use Honey-trap for her country(according to her, she used to be quite a beauty)

Clarissa is sent into Nameless on the charge of treason because she falls in love with an Imperial Soldier and let him return to his country(the soldier want her to come with him, but she refused)

Imca was scouted by Crowley and she decide to join Nameless to pursue her revenge on the Valkyria that destroy her village(Selvaria)

Julio is sent into nameless because she steals some rare food ingredients from a high ranking military officer.

The 2 Darcsen is unfortunately sent there without any real crime, just only because they're Darcsen(they apply to be put into militia to protect the people he love(Dite) and to prove that Darcsen can fight too instead of just taking all the abuse they got(Gusurg)

Riela sign up voluntarily for Militia to find a place for herself, but she got sent to Nameless because her squad keep getting demolished and she's the only survivor(actually she should have died if not because of her Valkyria power)

Felix is sent there because he disregard his superior's order to abandon his squadmate

Margitt is sent there because she failed in her mission as a commander and considered a failure

Leila is sent there because she "educate" her superior. The only think that kept her from being executed is that her "educated" superior actually lost his memory after being educated.

Annika is there because of excessive self-defense(she beats the rogue in town until they pass out)

Ilmari is sent to Nameless because he doesn't attend the compulsary draft(he sleeps at home because he thinks it's too bothersome

Elliot is sent to Nameless because of Marriage Fraud(he said that he did love the woman, but he got afraid after their marriage and run away from her)

I think that's all.

[yezhanquan]

Wow, and I thought Class G was bad enough in the dyfunction department. Hopefully, the fellows get to make their peace with their various ghosts.

Any details on the bigger picture, i.e. some details of Squad 7 and Max which we don't know from the first 2 games?

[kuroishinigami]

Spoiler for cameo character:

Squad 7 and Maximilian and his generals are not the focus here, so they are only mentioned in passing. It's the same with Leon Hardins, Avans, Juliana, Zeri, and Cosette, although the events with them here is foreshadowing what will happens in VC 2.

[yezhanquan]

Well, what drew me as I played VC 2 was how the characters from VC1 tried to help in their own way in the civil war. From Oscar's fighting alongside the town watch at Yuell, to the Gunthers' help at Lanseal, to Cordelia's strength and courage: to me, that really reflects the spirit of the OP; it is really "our story".

I was hoping that VC3 would show more of such stuff.

[LoweGear]

Spoiler for Unlockables:

[grylsyjaeger]

AIKA!

Damn I need to get my act together.

[Snowman24]

^Vyse! Aika! WOW!!

[spawnofthejudge]

AND Fina! (Well, that could be Mina or Nina, but I CAN DREAM)

It's amazing how much I'd be able to forgive this game with the ability to play Vyse again. Especially if he keeps his evil laugh when mowing down opposition.

Also: Cosette's in a T-shirt. Even the cameos may have costume choices.

[Firefly00]

Such interesting developments here (I got a chuckle out of the image that hints at someone fooling around with ghola vats or Spaarti cylinders). Now, folks might recall my wondering how well the 'hazmat suit' mechanic from a certain portion of CoD: Black Ops could be implemented in a VC title. Got a different ponder today: how practical would a 'last stand' mode be to implement? Pick your team of 4 and see how long you can hold out against waves and waves of tangos. But there's a catch lifted from the upcoming Operation Flashpoint title (reference): an extraction zone activates after X waves, and the only way to record your score is to get at least one squad member there (on Hardcore, it's all or nothing).

Spoiler for A little bonus...:

And here's the music from that part of Black Ops, uploaded by the composer:

Spoiler for Serge epilogue:

He still depends Kurt as his commander, so while he's waiting for Kurt's further order, he spent his remaining living leniently as a shepherd.

If you're talkinng about what happen during his character quest

Spoiler for Serge quest:

He has a fatal illness, that's why he joins the nameless, he wants to find a place to die in battlefield instead of in bed. Kurt somehow teach him the importance of his life, and he gains a little hope to stay alive as much as he can.

Okay, so we know about that sort of stuff. But what about each one's character event and related scenes? I've seen a few videos for such, but I can't understand what's going on.

[kuroishinigami]

Uhhh.... That's too long to be explained here. Basically each character learn how to cope with what make them enter the Nameless

Spoiler for character:

Like Anika learning that the violence is not a true "strength" since she's sent to nameless because of excessive self-defense, and so on.

If you want to know the details though, you either have to wait for other people's explanation or the english version since I'm too lazy to do it(sorry XD)

[Runty]

I just HAD to post this up. Imca's starting to rival Marina as one of my favorite VC characters (though Marina's still in first, since I enjoy working with her personality so much).

Check this video at around the 43-minute mark. You are bound to get a laugh out of it.

Spoiler for Imca doesn't like...:

Mushrooms

Now to just PRAY that SEGA chooses to have Michelle Ruff voice Imca if an English dub is made.
