Are there still any notes about the bust size decisions for every female character design?

How else do you expect them to show whose a Valkyrie?

The original French Foreign Legion was sorta like that, and France was pretty good at the whole 'war' thing back in the day.


On the other hand, the FFL was also never given any important jobs for obvious reasons, whereas the Nameless are because :downs:.


Unrelated, I just noticed Kurt says he's still fought in two battles even after he just fought his third.

Apparently the Nameless were based off of the 442nd Infantry Regiment.

I think the 1st two we saw are just one long continuous battle. You can have multiple skirmishes that add up to a battle.

I mean at the start of the game he says was in two battles, then the first level happens.

Burn Gallia down.

Valkyria Chronicles is very good at making me hate it's characters, if nothing else. I don't think there's anyone at all I liked in the first two games. Really, Riela and Imca don't make too good first impressions either.

But Kurt's alright.

Dominatrix chick gets the honor of being the first female character in VC3 I don't like. :toot:

You know I don't think I've played a game where I got to control a badass grandma. That's pretty novel.

I didn't play the first game much but I thought there was a similar character there, too.

TWIST FIST posted:

Yeah this game isn't the hilarious trainwreck that vc2 is but it just ends up being kinda dull instead. Like, I can't remember how a single character mission goes in this game while the ones in vc2 were at least memorably dumb.

This might at least partially be because of the translation, I dunno

Also Imca owns y'all are just haters

You sure you played through the whole game? Some of the character missions were awesome.

The dating sim situations and awful characters are already making me more angry than most of VC2.

I honestly have no idea how you can jump right into this after getting so sick of the first game's environments.

The dating sim stuff hasn't even come up yet. :colbert:

I like a couple of things about this scene, like how Kurt was immediately tired of Welkin.


Also as Gusurg mentioned, the Imperials like the Darscen even less than the Gallians do. So basically The Nameless (and I guess militia) vs. Calamity Raven is like an entertaining sideshow for the main powers in the conflict.

Man, you're an update machine Tae.

Tae did a VC2 LP, was there ever a VC1 LP?

Krysmphoenix posted:

Wow. That was actually really good. Showed a lot for his character, and had a nice reconciliation with Darcsen hatred for the gallian soldiers.

Yeah, having Kurt step into the background for these was a good decision.

It's such a shame that the series ended with a sort of cliffhanger. VC1 had decent gameplay with awful writing, VC2 was sort of fun in some ways, but VC3 is genuinely good.

I got to finishing the VC2 LP and I just realized that Erik, who was good at defending camps, had the last name "kampmann." :haw:

Christ the Gallian army is full of incompetent assholes. It really says something that the Empire is considered worse if this is what the good guys get up to, yeah?


Remember what the leadership of at least part of the Imperial Army was in the first game? A cowardly traitor, Dr. Mengeles, a delusional stalker, Lex Luthor and Jaeger.

VC is a bit heavy handed with these things.

Going away from translation chat for a moment, I was reading the VC2 LP properly this time and even if the characters in this game aren't high art, man they're so much more interesting.

We actually get to see characters interact with each other outside of those awful, awful skits!

There were characters in VC2 that interested me (Reiner, Helmut, Sigrid) but then they all just went nowhere, like Juliana started her struggle in regards to Zeri/Darcsens. Then she just died with completely no buildup or followup. Or maybe not because it's not like anyone ever mentions it again.

Oh well. Maybe it couldn't be helped. :v:

LP would be a far better subforum if every other LPer was replaced by Tae. :v:

So what, Selvy was the heroine of VC1?
Art team is being stupid/drunk when commenting, as normal. At least it's better than VC2's 'every second character' cringeworthy quotes.

How can you be a Valkyrie without boobs? I think that's what this series has taught us.

"The one thing we didn't want to change about our heroine character was her "ample proportions" because we believe that is what makes a heroine." - VC Art team.

Back on the Boob train, and we had a decent streak with out it for a while.

iirc there's a line about how Riela doesn't do up her jacket because she can't. because her boobs are too big, you see.
