OH. EM. GEE.
I knew this would happen eventually, and look how our faith is rewarded, folks. Even if it's on the PSP, it's still gonna be awesome. I mean, a loli-Valkyria? Sounds like a winning combination if I ever heard of one. And the protagonist (at least I'm guessing this guy is the protagonist) looks like Renji Abara? Sweeeeeeeeeeeet. |

Wait, what? PSP? And where the heck is that country situated? It's got the Gallian lake going and all... wait... that is Gallia! And the Empire's attacking them again? Two years later from the last game? And is that a solid lance whip?
Huh? Please don't tell me they let loose the anime writers on this thing... |

Because Sega have used up their quota of awesome for the next 10 years, I'm afraid. Valkyria is going on the pile of games they're going to slowly destroy until the fans cry with Shining Force and the like.
Honestly, a school adventure? Suitably generic character designs? A handheld? You call this a proper sequel? Screw it, I don't know why I even bothered getting excited about a second game. If this is what they're going to do I'd rather they kept it as an awesome one-off title. |

Well... considering that said school is a fricken star fort I can somewhat understand it being involved, as it could be some sort of military college that Gallia made after the 1935 war ended but... not them running around in school uniform.

Except... that makes no sense. If in your currently established market doesn't have a PSP and has no intention of obtaining a PSP... well, there goes that section of purchasers. And since VC is such a niche title they really should be doing everything they can to consolidate what they already have.
Not to mention that if the PSP game doesn't sell well there won't be any further VC. Why make a third game if the second bombs? |

The PSP is a heck of a lot more affordable at $170 for the core system. Plus, games are typically $40 new, and less for older titles. You do need a Memory Stick for saves, say a 1GB for $15. So $225 to play VC2. And for the record, I have a launch PSP and I'm definitely getting this when it hits the US. It's almost tempting to get the JP version instead and not have to wait as long. |

Hopefully they'll do the same when/if VC2 comes to NA. |

I suppose that's true. So long as they actually do advertising I guess they might actually end up more successful on the PSP with VC2.
That being said however I'm rather pissed that I'd have to buy another console in order to get access to more VC. |

.....I sense a Final Fantasy Tactics series vibe from the sequeal.
FYI, FFT was release on a console first and developed a cult following. But the next game in line was released on a handheld. This time vwith a more childish chara design, a tone down battled system and a less-than-epic storyline. And nothing was the same again. I'm begining to see VC taking the same path. |

So I guess it's all up to who's in charge of producing the game here. |

I'm sceptical, but I'll most likely get it anyway. It feels way more generic than the first game though, they created a more mainstream anime theme just like the anime became much more lighthearted than the game. This is war dammit, not a goukon >_>
