    Game: Valkyria Chronicles

    http://ps3.ign.com/objects/950/950634.html Comes out Nov 4th, which is Tuesday. Lots of praise from reviewers.

    Anyways, this is an SRPG.. And since this is an anime forum, I just wanted to point out that the art-style is cel-shade/anime-ish so perhaps some of you might look into this game.

    The demo is up on PSN if anyone hasn't tried it.

    Can't wait!!!!

    Yeah I tried it, not bad for a tactics game. You can walk around and use stamina, my favorite class type is the lancers, they are basically like missile launcher type kinda guys. Im getting it for sure. Also anyone get into the Home Beta? I DID!
    No one but the enemy will ever teach you how to destroy and conquer. Only the enemy shows you where you are weak. Only the enemy tells you when he is strong. And the rules of the game are what you can do to him and what you can stop him from doing to you. I am your enemy from now on. From now on, I am your teacher."

    Yea I downloaded it too. It was actually pretty gay, the VC demo was on the Europe PSN 2 weeks before it was on the US one, so I had to make an EU account, downloaded and finished it, only to find out that the same day I downloaded the demo it was already out on the US PSN.

    LOL
    I got it from the European PSN the day it was released. Two weeks before the US PSN.

    Heck, even my American account is -fake- since stupid Sony doesn't have Mexico on its list. Assholes.

    It took me like 10 minutes of research so I could find a damn matching city and street, and zipcode because the PSN registration doesn't accept 123 Ass Street London, UK 12345 =(

    I tryied demo, and its on my must-buy list... along with Guitar Hero 4(damn expansive -,-), Mirrors Edge, Red Alert 3, Far Cry 2 and some other games.

    I really need to set-up Japanese psn account, browsing the menus wont be a problem and i will get to try the games before demo is released in europe.

    Oh Shiet. Been playing the game some and just met Maximilian the Prince, and he's voiced by Fukuyama Jun. Awesome, and yeah I have the JP dub on. I actually can't remember if the english dub is good or not, for a game like this I'd definitely want the original dub.

    Currently playing in english, tried to change it to japanese in the menu but it only said english there. But now when i look on the back it says "Voice in english and japanese" hmm guess i'll have to search a bit more.

    So far im really loving this game, nice graphics and story. Just unlocked the Headquarters menu and i was a bit surprised by the cheer amounts of upgrades and customization options available

    Did you change the language from the title menu? You can't change it while in game.

    For those of you who know what Skies of Arcadia are, Vyse, Aika and Fina are characters in the game. First time I saw my first recruit list and saw Vyse and Aika I was like ooooooooh shit.

    Yeah. I guess Fina is the medic. I didn't realize till someone pointed it out. Thought she was just a random character design.

    This was to be expected.

    2009 though, so I guess a thread for itself shouldn't be made yet.

    I might check the PSN demo first. I saw it at the shops today, and the cover's gorgeous. Too bad $94 isn't something I should/can just dish out, so I'll see if I like it first.

    If it's not Isuzu-chan Mii~

    Woah. $94 USD or AUD? I love the game, it can get quite challenging which is good. It was developed by SegaWOW, which is a combination of WOW entertainment (House of the Dead) and the awesome Overworks (Streets of Rage, Skies of Arcadia, Phantasy Star, etc.) It feels like a combination of Fire Emblem and a light shooter.

    I hear the sales didn't do to well compared to big hitters like a couple million in the first 24 hours, but it did sell a respectable 200k in Japan, so I hear?

    AUD, and 94AUD is very reasonable, i still need to get the game myself though, lack of time limits me to only play a few games at a time now.
