The first mistake involved them trying to make a quick buck by churning the games out far too quickly on a completely other system as before. and SEGA basically has itself to blame for it.
VALKYRIA CHRONICLES 3 ENGLISH SCRIPT SERIES
If true (and to be honest it most likely is) we can assume that the series is basically dead in the U.S. The above rumor was taken from a Phantasy Star message board called PSO World by a user named “DoubleJG”. It may happen at some point, but there are currently no plans for it. Also, we all have to take into account the heavy amount of piracy that plagues the West. Games like PSPo2 and Valkyria Chronicles 2 did not sell nearly as well as we had hoped that they would.
VALKYRIA CHRONICLES 3 ENGLISH SCRIPT PSP
Someone apparently talked to one of the SEGA reps at E3 and asked if the new Valkyria Chronicles and Phantasy Star games (both for PSP) would be heading to the west and the news wasn’t good:Īs much as I would love to see an English release of Infinity, SEGA West is currently not looking at further PSP development.
SEGA West had been pretty tight lipped about it, and its no-show at E3 was amongst about a dozen or so games that seemed absent from localization plans. Earlier this week news rang out about the possible release of the third Valkyria Chronicles game in America specifically. Valkyria Chronicles may already be dead, especially in the west. The fact that any series had the cajones to even attempt to have a storyline closely mirroring this sort of world event makes SEGA go up in my books quite a bit.įlash forward just a few years and it seems that a series with such promise, critical acclaim, big sales in Japan, and a cult following in America should be running strong sadly this is not the case. Here, however, we have a game that revolves around a group of people called the Darcsens that have literally been blamed for just about every bad thing in the world for hundreds of years, and are the targets of ethnic cleansing campaigns (in Valkyria Chronicles 2 most notably) and even forced to work in labor camps. For years we have been playing hundreds of World War II games, and very few of them have actually managed to mention the holocaust or the Jewish people for fear of getting the game banned in some random countries. The immediate thing that struck me about both games in the series that I’ve played is that they have some huge balls, and exist as a true asset to the RPG genre, especially in how they portray war. This is of course the stage for a game that breathed an icy breath of fresh air into a somewhat played out genre – the strategy RPG. The game places you in the shoes of a rag-tag group of militia members that are suddenly forced to repel the most powerful army on earth on the verge of world conquest. This is a shock because these Nazi analogues (if you equate them to our terms) are at war with another federation of countries that dub themselves the Atlantic Federation, and there is no real reason for such an invasion to occur (EDIT: other than energy reserves to fuel the war). In this fantasy world a small country called Gallia suddenly comes under attack from a huge land grabbing conglomerate of nations dubbed the East Europan Imperial Alliance. Yes the game deals with war, but in concentrates on the heroics and struggles with fighting rather than the bleak horrors of any battlefield.įor those that haven’t heard of the series, all of the games follow a fictitious war that somewhat closely resembles World War II if you squint really hard and drop some pixie dust on it. I was taken aback by how mature the game was, and no I don’t mean “blood and guts and boobs” mature like the many games that misuse the term today, but an honest mature game done in such a way that most folks of the teenage persuasion, except maybe anime fans, would probably scoff at it.
That game was the first Valkyria Chronicles. One game, more than any other, was constantly touted as being not only one of the most underrated games on the PS3, but one of the best RPGs out there on any system.
