Valkyria Chronicles

I don't know if any of you guys are interested in anime style Japanese RPGs let alone Tactical ones but I've been following this game since it was announced and it has finally been announced for the west. Unfortunately as of now it's PS3 exclusive and I don't have one but either way I'm still interested.

 

Look and Feel

The game looks like something Studio Ghibli would make as an anime movie, for example Princess Mononoke or Howls Moving Castle but it isn't actually liked to them at all. The game used a new type of cell shading to make it look like a water colour anime and it does look really awesome.

 

Setting/Story

The game is a sort of fictional Steam punk take on World War 1 where two big empires are fighting each other and the small country of Gallia is court up in the middle.

 

Gameplay

The game is a Tactical-RPG, 3rd person shooter hybrid where you move around and attack in real time but the game is also turn based so the enemy takes their turn and so do you. If you get into the enemies line of fire they will shoot at you even if it isnt their go. You can get up to 100 troops (and tanks) with different skills. You can make a squad out of any of them to take into battle. I hear you can also take the game online and fight tactically against each other.

I really like the artistic direction this game has. Also, being a tactical RPG makes it even better. Definately a something that i will buy.

It looks like it could be a good game. But they always do until we know better. I keep hearing the phrase "watercolor in motion" thrown around in regards to this game. The stills don't look so unique compared to past cell shading techniques, I should probably watch some of the trailers.

What system is this for?

One billion b-balls dribbling simultaneously throughout the galaxy. One trillion b-balls being slam dunked through a hoop throughout the galaxy. I can feel every single b-ball that has ever existed at my fingertips. I can feel their collective knowledge channeling through my viens. Every jumpshot, every rebound and three-pointer, every layup, dunk, and free throw. I am there.

Finally got around to watching a trailer. Visually, it still doesn't seem like it's that much different from more traditional cell shading but using more pastels on the textures, grain, and less black border outlines. However, that does combine to make a very nice and unique (for a game) look that is reminiscent of some animated movies that were CG heavy.

 

Reminds me of the CG in Last Exile.
