Psycho Knight posted:gently caress this game. gently caress it so hard. gently caress its loli Valkyria and especially gently caress the V2s. Flight is weird in VC. Like, you have the ISARA as this special, one-of-a-kind thing, but in the same game the in-universe notes by reporter lady on the VC1 enemy units note that the Tank Destroyer's main gun was based on anti-aircraft weaponry, which is ??? if they don't, you know, have aircraft.

I like the idea that the reason why Orders are bad and overcosted in VC2 is because Avan is dumb and bad at commanding, which is kinda what Orders are supposed to represent. Eg: Welkin's, Kurt's and Claude's "Attack Boost" order are all 1 CP, while Avan's is 4.

Jesus Christ the "Avan shooting himself" scene is as stupid as I remembered. I thought my memories of specifically it were being tainted by the rest of the stupid of VC2 but nope, it is basically what I remembered.

Psycho Knight posted:This is what I was referring to earlier when I mentioned that they wasted a plot line. They stuck Juliana in this game to be the sacrificial lamb that every VC game has (and this might have been the one to establish the trend). You know, the one character on the heroes side that has to die at some point in order to try and get a cheap emotional response from the players. I remember who that is in VC4, but who was the sacrificial lamb character in VC3? There's the one who leaves your party, but them leaving isn't because they die at that point in the story. Unless Isara counts twice, I guess, given how VC1 and 3 are parallel and the casts run into each other and react to each other's stories.

Psycho Knight posted:That character still counts. Leaving the party is sort of the "hero's death" in the sense that they've turned their back on the "good guys". But despite leaving the party, they are still counted as a "friend." Just look at how their death is treated in comparison to the villains.

Lord Koth posted:Oh hey, I played this game a long time ago, and it's just as dumb as I remember. You do, and she’s absurd. Scout movement range, ridiculous interception fire, a toggleable firing mode between “accurate, infinitely piercing beam dealing 999 anti-Armor damage” and something like “20x 99 damage” laser burst. You can also get Valks in VC3 non-canon bonus missions (discounting the halfbreed Valk you get in the squad who is strong but not WTF Selvy/Alicia/VC4Valk strong), and the Selvy and the VC4 Valk in VC4 postgame if you get the VC4 Valk v Selvy DLC. They’re all obviously hilariously broken, even in VC4 where IIRC they use 2 ap to move. Shinji117 fucked around with this message at 08:05 on Feb 28, 2020 |

Psycho Knight posted:It's been a few years since I played VC3, but I don't think Reila is a "halfbreed". It's not like Selvaria/Alicia/Crymaria are full-blooded, since the Valkyrur disappeared over a thousand years ago due to good old genetics and interbreeding. Reila just has a mutation that causes her Valkyria attributes to be outwardly visible, like her half-white hair (which is probably the idea behind Selvaria's hair. Although I've always had a theory that Selvaria's hair was dyed that colour permanently as a propaganda thing for Maximilian). That, and another reason Riela's Valk mode isn't that great (gameplay-wise this time) is that Imca+Var is hilariously broken. The Flying Twybil posted:I never really bothered with the DLC and I've only played this game and VC1, so the most I've ever gotten in being able to have control of a Valkyria is the AI controlled Alicia from that one mission. This part always felt like a low blow to me, but I suppose it's nice to hear the later games give you the chance, at least.
