They could opt for some better more realistic weapon sounds. but the words and clean feel of the game should still be there. The screenshot looks really interesting. PSP is already graphically superior than DS..so PSP is a better choice for me. VC wouldn't work well with a stylus. |

As for the console, the DS might have actually been pretty cool. In battle sequences they could have had the top view map on the touch screen, and the active movement part on the other screen. That way you could always get a sense of positioning as well as being able to easily select units or set targets. Speaking of targets, I hope they give you mortars in the game . |

Actually if you take a look at the screenshots of the game itself, they don't seem to be running around in the school uniform during battle. If they had been doing that, then yes, you could rightly claim that they ruined it by making it seem like a dating sim, but after examining all the screenshots I'm slightly optimistic that the game will turn out good.

I was mostly referring to the visual style, but looking back on my comment I kind of muddled that up . I too have a pretty healthy optimism for how it will turn out. I'm especially glad they're not just rehashing the same gameplay with a new story but also adding new elements to advance the franchise.
I'm curious how they're going to present the game though. Whether they keep the in a book style or if they move to something different like an open world style game. |

From the original we're told at the start the "game" was going to be an account of "Those Who Lived, Those Who Fought and Those Who Died On the Gallian Front." So the sequel could be like a battlefield tactics manual or another historical account of how the future of a nation in turmoil was shaped by so few unexpected heroes.

Eh, I suppose so, but I get the distinct impression that the mission selection screen is in their classroom and they're the ones making the decisions. Which means it wouldn't really work in book form imo.
Unless, of course, it's something stupid like Assassin's Creed and that's someone else's classroom and they're going "Hey! Lets go to this chapter of the conflict now!" =/ |

Even if it's in a classroom, it'll probably run something similar, although I heard someone from forums talking about something like Radiata Story, where you can walk inside a town recruiting people with different times as they have their own schedules. Although I think this should probably more plausible for PS3.
Yea, looking at the new valkyur, I guess it's not too serious. Wonder which side she'll be on. She does bear a striking resemblance to selvaria, except her laugh. |

Also did composition for the original Valkyria and has worked on a long list of other classics. Shame the teaser site allowed us to take a good look at the Europan continent. Now it's gone unless someone got a good pic of it. I'm a sad panda.
