Valkyria Chronicles

[Flabio]

Maybe you have a duff copy? Know anyone else with a PS3 you can try it on?

[Sketcz]

Has anyone else posted this?

I heard the US is getting more DLC content for this. It's probably region locked, but hopefully we get it in PAL land soon after.

Yes, in two days. Class-specific missions guided by Edy.

Awesome! Can't wait to get playing this game again.

[Sketcz]

Has anyone else had trouble with the new Edy DLC? I downloaded it a couple of days ago, and there's no audio. I'm not sure if they couldn't be bothered to hire English voice actors for it, but at the size it was when I downloaded it, I'd expect some audio.

I tried most of them, and there's no dialogue. Just lip-flap and text.

Is this normal, or did my download **** up somehow?

There is no audio Skectz or do as this suggests

Sank my teeth in this DLC and it tasted a bit sour...Valkyria Chronicles' briefings have always been a bit lacking, but in this DLC things are much worse.
Sniper mission, for example: kill all enemies before they reach the target area. OK, it's probably my base camp as enemies can spawn from their camps...no, the enemy camp is the target area. Could someone had told me earlier, please?
Except for the tank mission everything is very plain and it feels more like training missions that could have been included in the first game to show what units can do, not on par with previous DLC and with some main game missions.
They are still fun though, but far from being challenging.

Cheers for the info.

just started with this, finished the first 3 chapters and so far liking it very much. the art style is great, the world is coherent and believable and the characters are likeable, at least don't annoy. learning the rule set of the turn based system is a challenge but a motivating one, especially with this lot of tactical freedom on offer here. so this seems like a fresh breeze after coming from the disappointment named FF13

anyone got himself the official strategy guide book and can recommend it?

Finished this yesterday, I'm a cynical bugger but I couldn't help from punching the air whilst shouting "Ga-lli-a Ga-lli-a".

The only mission I really didn't like (and I'm not spoiling anything here) is the sneaking about the forest one which was quite out of place.

If you have a PS3 and haven't given this a chance - get hold of a copy.

[Flabio]

Still the best PS3 game I own.

Get the UDON artbook if you can, it's gorgeous.

I got stuck in the last fight against the emperor where you have to shoot some electrical towers or something, and haven't touched the game in awhile. Anyone want to give me a short summary how to beat him so I can again sleep at night?

As with most of the levels in Chronicles its quite easy once you get the strategy.

->Open Spoiler<-

I think I did it by having 2 lancers, 1 sniper, 2 shock troopers, and the rest were filled up with characters that generate a free move. The basic idea is to use a sniper for the furthest tower and the lancers for the others. Then try to get your shock troopers to surround him north and south but keeping them in cover. From that position you should be able to take down the 3 towers and then hit him repeatedly with shock troopers (make sure nullify, defence, and potential orders are given) to bring his energy down in 1 turn. Also make sure you always go with head shots with shock troopers because body damage does virtually nothing on him. You then have to do it a second time but its the same idea again.

Grenades. Lots of grenades.

[superkully]

The last level does seem hard but I managed it in three turns after a few experimental runs. As said, not that hard once you read the hints (I used the Edelweiss instead of grenades).
