Valkyria Chronicles

Anyone played this? I was playing the demo today. I gotta say, it the game is anything like the demo, it's awesomeness so thick you can cut it with a knife. Basicly, it's an RTS where you control your units on the battlefield (no base building or anything like that), but when you choose to move a unit, it goes into a third person view, and you directly control that unit. I don't know...a bit hard to explain, but it's awesome. If you like strategy games, you should definitly check out the demo.

I played the demo. Its a good strategy type rpg . i got eternal sonata instead but i'll get VC later on.

Not a fan of SRPGs but pretty cool demo for those that are.

Its not classified as a strategy, its classified as a JRPG.

[stickcult]

It's like a...JSRPG...

[MichaelVash7886]

Its not classified as a strategy, its classified as a JRPG.

Don't care what it's 'classified' as lol, it's an SRPG all the way.

pft..wats the J stand for? Japanese?

[TwistedSystem]

Yup, also I heard it was turn based. If thats true it does seem more like a JRPG than a SRPG.

but....strategy rpgs are turn based too.....like...final fantasy tactics...fire emblem....the list goes on

Exactly. If it's not turn based then it becomes RTS in most cases.... Disgaea or however you spell it is the same way as VC IIRC except it's on a grid rather than semi-free movement.

yah..my favorite strategy rpg is fire emblem...i also like advanced wars...but...thats not really an rpg...or is it....idk

[MichaelVash7886]

I don't see how Advanced Wars is much different from FE lol.

[Noodlez]

me neither...now that i think about it..its the same exact game....

Ya but I saw the gameplay and it seemed much more like a turn based final fantasy type of game, pretty much all final fantasy's are turn based but only tactics is considered a SRPG, the rest re JRPG's.

[MichaelVash7886]

It's not really like the other FF's at all. It's like Tactics...

[TwistedSystem]

Ok well ill stop argueing as I haven't played it yet but i was just told by several people that it was a JRPG above all else.

I heard that Skies of Arcadia characters appear in this game. Can anyone confirm that?
