    No. No they shouldn't. This game doesn't need or deserve piracy.

  • nice game, would love to have it. sadly i don't own a ps3.

  • The only RPGs that I've played till recently were pokemon games. I did try Fire Emblem on the GC, but didn't get into it. Now, this game got me hooked from the demo, so I went out and bought it. I was all for action games but decided to try RPGs for a while. I'm currently playing Star Ocean on the psp and just bought the second Star Ocean and paid in full Star Ocean for the ps3. Modern action games are short and lame for the most part, but RPGs are longer and entertaining. New RPG fan here!

  • young ADHD niggers dont like this game because it involves patience and strategy. You have to THINK before you act. And they dont teach thinking in school. Hail hitler.

  • These kiddies don't like this game because the last real turn based strategy game that was made before this one was sadly before they were born. So they don't realize these types of games were a big deal back in the day, and by playing the demo I must say it's nice to see a TBS that isn't me replaying Warsong or Xcom for the 100th time.

    It's boring to these people because it's a game where you actually have to use your brain, and makes you wish you were living back then, when games were good...

  • dude stratagy game no shit it requires patient i dont get how the game is boring i already played the game for 40 hours and still not tired of it

  • Nah you probably just suck that much.

  • Fucking terrorist. Get back in your hole.

  • They obviously didn't implement the back up thing here in this version they reviewed... When it's your turn, and the character you've selected is firing at a target, any allies really close by should back you up (up to 2 or 3).

  • well it actually doesn't unlock until its explained i can't remember wich chapter

  • Chapter 3. You may be right. I will turn on my PS3 right now and check.

  • best game on ps3, period

  • I've just bought it... and I don't even have a PS3... yet. I didn't want to run the risk of there being no copies left in the UK.

  • LOL

  • I bought this game months ago, and am fairly close to the end. It is very tedious when it comes to loading times within battles, and frustrating when your lancers miss. I plan on finishing it and trading it in.

  • this is an *import* and therefore has *only* japanese dialogue. in the american version (already released) there is some great dubing and the japanese track is available also available with english subtitles.

    as for your complaints about the gameplay, it isn't for everyone. but it is certainly deeper than, say, advance wars or fire emblem. there really is no other game like it, and i'm sorry you don't like it

  • I was not looking forward to this at first cuz it looks shit 60 bucks for this game and I was like wtf, but boy i was wrong, it was on sale on gamestop and only for 30 bucks and i said id give it a try and i regret on buying it at first but when i started playing it OOOHHH BBBOOOYY 5 hours already past and still i can't stop playing

  • AWESOME. The fact that it has a japanese track makes it 10 times even more worth the 60 dollars. Trying to save up for PS3 just to get this game now. :D

  • I'm going to respond to your retarded post with an equally retarded response.

    YOUR shit

  • MY 2 most underated ps3 exsclusives are:

    1.motorstorm 2

    2.valkyria chronicles

  • Can I play this game on 21' CRT TV , this game looks really good

  • This game is strange, but really cool. It is cel-shaded and it's a shooter. What a mix, dude!=D

    I'm form Spain and here this game is really cheap. I think I'm gonna buy it! ^^

  • "i absolutely don't speak japanese", the very first thing he said was in japanese :p

  • mmm I dunno man, it doesnt look like a game I'll enjoy, im willing to try but the game costs $120 here

  • if you like advanced wars series then i think you should enjoy this game

  • Are you effing serious!? :O

  • this game is AWESOME. if you are not into strategy games like me, give it a try anyway, you may get hooked, otherwise, you are missing out on one of the best game on PS3.

  • Cezary the sniper is easily my favourite character. He's a self-serving, prejudiced coward and these flaws make him more believable and human. A much more interesting character than Welkin or Alicia.

  • Ur moms

  • Emm nice comeback....

  • To bad Sega were lazy to add any trophies in the game :(

  • trophies are nice. but its not the end of the world. this game is fun so it makes up for it.

  • why was the game discontinued here? I went and bought it bout a month after it came out o.o;

  • Anyone who ownes a ps3, download the demo and you will be hooked, I did and bought the game, only up to the 6th chapter, and it is the best game i've played in a while.

    Me, i'm a Zelda, fan, and more into Sword & Sorcery, and this isnt any of that, its different.

    Also any Fire Emblem fans, this game is great, has a few similarities :)

  • Yay.. thanks for the info.. that's my 4th game I'm going to get for the PS3 (planning to)

    1. Pacific Rift has inspired me to get the PS3 (fuck yeah graphics and explosions xD)

    2. Gundam and stuff..

    3. I forgot.

    4. THIS GAME YOU ARE WATCHING!

  • so fucking true! I was interested in the game because it was a new turn- based game (Like Advanced Wars, and yes Fire Emblem, but it seemed to have a closer feel to Advance wars. Which I felt was better) I got a PS3 because my 360 was crapping out, and the PS3 had many exclusives, free online, and no RROD. This game was the third game I planned to get, 1st Little Big Planet, 2nd Killzone 2, 3rdthis game. After playing the demo 10 times I moved it up to 2nd game(I already got LBP)Can't wait.

  • y would they sell something that dont even have english subs...? also its been discontinued here in bc already so hopefully they'l dub it, not only was it discontinued it sold out after a few days in 4 cities here, duncan, victoria, langford and nanaimo. my bro wants it but he dont understand its not in english, whats more. hes older than me lol

  • pos ta chido el videillo nomas que pos cuando le pega con las balitas no se ve muy real

  • if you find this game buy it, i heard alot of people saying they going to discontinue it , but i also heard they are doing that because they are going to re-release it.

  • They have a lot of copies in my local Best Buy.

    I'm seriously going to wait until they are going to re-release it. I REALLY want this game but since Killzone 2 is coming up, I can wait until the re-release :P

  • Game sold about 330k World Wide lol.

  • i played the demo i kida like it. i think i will buy it as its quite cheap

  • I s this game rated T?

  • Valkyria Chronicles?? Can anny one please tell me if This is goin to come on pc to?.

  • nope ps3 only

  • no its only on Ps3 .

  • I just got this game two days ago...love it!

  • Amen muffinmon! I'm on the 5th chapter and I'm FREAGIN LOVIN THIS GAME!! It's one of my new top 5 PS3 games!!!

    I went to bed the other night, after failing a mission and thinking to myself 'Ok, I did this wrong...so I'll try that next time'.

    I'm hooked Sega! Btw, all you PS3 fans need to check out my site. ALL PS3, all the time. Just click on my profile, find the link, and boom.

    Also enter the contest to win a copy of the original Motorstorm for free!

  • I love this game, is really amazing

  • got this game a few days ago and sony should have marketed this game more as its unbeleivable!! the story really makes you connect with the characters to like them that i make sure that non of my squad die if they get shot down im always running to them to get a medic to take them away so they dont die, and the gameplay is really exciting and needs thinking and strategy to get by. one of the must own games of 2008

  • best game to get my hand around on in the ps3. at least its the game is not about senseless shooting like most fps for the other console.

  • "senseless shooting"

    ...........

  • yeah, you read it, senseless shooting.

  • Shooting is supposed to have sense?

    Every shooter: point. shoot.

  • umjm are you getting where im going at.

    i agree every shooting games are point and shoot. we have the same idea. over all most shooting games are pointless and senseless

    "SENSELESS"

  • Unless you give it some sense by doing more than just running and gunning without thinking, but I see what you mean. In general, all games are pointless and are meant to be fun.

  • true, most games never really show a story but as long as rpgs put more sense into gaming then im pretty cool with that. rpgs are the games that usually makes sense to me.

  • >"First Person Shooter"

    jesus, you said it four times too

    QUADRUPLE FAIL

  • i can't wait for anime comes out!

  • i got the game a few days ago and i really think its amazing. not as boring as it might seem here because the level(s) shown here is one of the first ones in the prologue. the actual later game play is much more fun and challenging

  • Huh....something that annoys me is that you hardly hear the UK in any real game review...its always america first...oh and i love this game its so good i think with interesting gameplay, and story line...the first ever Stragergy RPG i own really as of 27th Dec 2008...i haven't put it down since ( well as for sleeping, eating and walking the dog...really!)

  • can you level up?

  • why is the game rated 16+ ?

  • probably because you "kill" people in it, not very graphic but you the whole game revolves around it

  • is the game out in canada?

  • yes

  • yup

  • what? the connection is so far off.

  • Have you actually played the game or are you just a disgruntled fanboy? Because VC has a Metacritic average of 86 which would suggest that it's a really good game.

  • I was gonna buy this last nite, but Disgaea 3 was next to it... Now I'm level 20 in Disgaea 3 and i've only played for 2 hours. But this looks pretty good!

  • This game, is epic. Great fun, and it's hard to not like the game. Unless, of course, your the kind of person that can't last five minutes without chainsawing someone in the face. If you're one of those "Games are art, and entertainment" people, like me, this game will be a memorable experience. Although, the lack of multiplayer is depressing, I loved this game. -Griffin, A X-360 man.

  • online multi would've been awesome! i just have the demo and like it a lot. think i'll pick it up soon

  • this game is really addictive im enjoying it so far.

  • turn off your brain and get back to Gears

  • I don't have xbox 360 ! I am playing fallout 3 on ps3

  • Sorry, but it doesn't seem too interesting :/

  • Hogs of WAr!!!!

  • what the fuck is "conisheewa?"

  • 'konichiwa' is basically hello in japanese.

  • dude calm down its actually konichiwa and it means hello in japanese

  • theres better be a sequel or a prequel for this game...we need more games like this :)

  • Is out now what a holiday gift. Videogamecentral please advices is for the Philippines only ok. Because we have a little comment about this. For those in the Philippines read this if Valkyria Chronicles is already out in states and will be sale in the Philippines soon read this i wish there will be a remake of Valkyria Chronicles in the Philippines so that this is the 1st time to have a Anime video game remake of this game but i chose ABS-CBN 2 so that they have a remake. End of story
  • If you think it is a piece of shit why would you want it on the 360, unless you just think that because it is for the PS3 which then is just sad.

  • i believe the a.i. is a little dumb because your characters can actually die

  • I going to buy this game when

    is out on the states

  • now

  • hey, i have the money & i'm asking which one should I buy. Dead Space or Valkyria Chronicles. I am a fan of both genre. so tell me which one is more worth it.

  • DEAD SPACEEEEEE I PROMISE YOU YOU WONT REGRET! i want this game but dead space all the way man i love that game for scarin the hell outta me.

  • thx man. I'm off to buy Dead Space.

  • no prob :) heheh u got a ps3? whats your profile name? let me know how it is for u

  • umm.. can I play PSN using WI-FI? cause I only got WI-Fi

  • lol yeh u can, just enter your WEP or sometimes known as WPA key into your ps3. if u want a full on guide on how to do it let me know....wait do u mean wi-fi as in u havent got a broadband?? cuz im pretty sure u cant have wi-fi without a broadband connection..anyway get back to me if u got problems i'll see what i can do

  • i got a broadband but it is connected to the family's PC & my siblings hate it when I disconnect it. and the PC is very far away from my PS3.

  • if your broadband has wireless you can still connect to it depending on the distance from it to your ps3. very far away sounds VERY far away lol. buttt try and use your ps3 to scan for a broadband connection. if it scans and your broadband name comes up follow the on screen instructions

  • ok.

  • Go with wireless man, I have mine connected wirelessly and the router is like 3 rooms aways. Works pretty good

  • mispronounced the title... omg

  • I have this game! But I think there's gay people in it. I don't know what they mean when they say "fancies men" and "fancies women". Does that mean there's gays and lesbians in the game? I find that quite funny though. Their was on comment one of the gay guys made he was all like "yes, Im with you men!" That was hilarious! But anyways I have nothing against gays. Their cute people. :)

  • no, the version he's playing is the import japanese version, the english version is also available!

  • So It's basically Advance wars in 3D, Fuck Yeah

  • such a dumb fuck

  • looks a little bit like the gameplay from Full Spectrum Warrior

  • ya uts really idiot his is rpg ffs

  • What an idiot, he says First Person shooter instead of third person...

  • This game seems to look and play a LOT like Ring of Red. Which was a very good strategy game for the PS2. I was surprised you didn't mention it...

  • hahahaha ur joking right? this is nothing like rings of red how dare u compare this to rings of red!

  • this what fallout 3 should be. I like this game.

  • Some constructive criticism: you should turn up your voice volume or turn down the background/game sounds when you're speaking!

  • "like a really cool japanese cartoon"

    No such thing.

  • Gundam Wing and Cowboy Bebop

  • lol.

  • looks like a wii game...but well i like the wii too sooo...

  • Thanks for the review, nice job

  • "I cant wait for this shit to get ported to the 360 so I can't buy it"

    haha, butthurt over not having a PS3, xbro?

  • You only say that because of the game's art direction, the actual gameplay for VC is pretty good. Play before you judge, douchebag.

  • brb, im gonna go play oblivion without game-crippling skips because I can.

  • Just got this game. I'm only about 1 hour in, but it's nice so far. It looks like it's gonna be a lot of fun.

  • heh this game reminded me of Dynasty warriors except you don't get to actually fight.... Now you can download an English demo and I've had some fun moments like lining up the perfect head shot

  • Dynasty Warriors is 100% brainless hack and slash game with a half-baked war story.

    VC is a strategy game resembling that of RTS with a heavy story line.

    How are they remotely the same?

  • Wow. I thought Vesperia had awesome cel-shading. Looks like I was dead wrong - but I'm NOT hating on Vesperia.

    But I'm hoping that they have the option of Japanese voices in the NA release, unless the English is good.

  • realy awesome game its loong and i just got it finaly good rpg besides folklore also i got it with lbp resistance 2 and motorstorm tomorrow im geting socom and naruto awesome ps3 games this fall

  • You know, Pokna, aside from this there is Enchanted Arms, an okay rpg for the Ps3, and X-box 360, Eternal Sonata, Both, and Disgaea 3

    exclusive to the ps3. They are already out.

  • i know enchanted arms was very boring for me also eternal sonata was dissapointing for me disgaea 3 was ok

  • urge to buy rising.

  • this game looks amazing

  • i keep playing the demo over n over this game is awesome im extreamly addicted and this guy in the review is a downer ill stick 2 x-play reviews

  • The gameplay reminds me of Hogs of War. I love Hogs Of War.

    Definately the first game i'll get for my PS3.

  • why not Virtua Fighter 5 for the monkey kung fu girl

  • Never really got into the Virtua Fighter series, as i've always prefered Tekken [but f**k Namco / Bandai for porting to the 360; it's an ultimate betrayal].

    And i've never heard of the second title you've just mentioned. Any good?

    ------------------------

    Beside this game, i'll probably buy LBP and Resistance 2 aswell, after i buy my Ceramic White PS3. YA - HA!

  • what 2nd title? I was reffering to Eileen in VF5, she does monkey kungfu

  • Ah. Ok.

  • For some reason this game makes me want to play Disgaea 0_0.....

  • How can that be done?

  • so... can you play it without the disc?

  • No.

  • Installation still requires the game. >.> Or did I mess up somewhere.

  • It still requires the game. The install is supposed to reduce load times, but I see no difference.

    That tanogoober doesn't know what he's talking about.

  • Then console gaming will be dead if no one wanted to buy the original

  • is this turn based?

  • yup, i got it and is the best srpg i have ever played, it is about thinking, not about leveling individual characters

  • Nice! reminds me of PS2 Ring of Red.

    I hope a LOT more Action-Strategy-RPGs come to this gen systems.

  • I just played the demo. Good gameplay and pretty graphics. The gameplay is somewhere between turn-based and real-time strategy. The shooting is in third-person and you just have to aim and press circle.

  • I would be suspect of any gamesite "reviewing" a game's subtleties when they are unable to "understand" the game beyond the obvious gameplay mechanics that are standard across all games like this.

  • Can you play this with two people?

  • I found this game in Japan back in May, I didn't know what it was called and was really hoping it would come to the West. Thank the good lord it did.

  • Really hate when he use the word real time strategy game when it is really a turn based strategy game.

  • No.

  • sorry but thats third person shooter type. 1st person is like halo and call of duty

  • i didn't think that i'd like this game when i first saw it, but after playing the demo, i was pleasantly surprised to find myself actually having fun while i played. now it's got me excited to find out what the rest of the game is about and going to be like.

  • i loved making headshots with that one lady in the demo. id rather watch the plot instead of playing it because im not so good with strategy/shooting/advance wars.

  • another site gave this game 8.5 i hoped a little bit higher but i really liked the game and got a good review

  • the demo kicks ass

  • i just downloaded this too, thinking it was a different game but after getting over my shock i played it and i loved it. I am gonna buy this as soon as it comes out.

  • I downloaded the demo version yesterday and if you ask me so will I be the first to buy it when it comes to Sweden ^^

  • Vi får se..
