I wish there was more games like this. Fire Emblem is similar but the aesthetic is really different. Perhaps in the future there will be a Valkyria Chronicles 5.
There was few games with similar or identical combat system, and all of them were developed by ... Valkyria Chronicles team. Those games was: Sakura Wars 3-5 (battle system from VC is based on battle system from those games), and Shining Blade on PSP (BlitZ battle system from Valkyria Chronicles but in fantasy setting). There is also Operation Darkness on X360 published by Atlus.
@@awesomehazimex7410 I started from 2 because I was in a hostel with just my phone and no real games to play, so someone gave me an emulator and the game, love the series except Revolution we don't talk about that one
Valkyria Chronicles 1 had a great story and was a great proof of concept. Valkyria Chronicles 4 has a great story and refined the concept to pretty sweet gameplay.
the one thing that really put me off was the ranking system, just took stratergy out of the equation for raw speed and order abuse however it did feel nice beating maps with god Alicia and tank slayer Rosie
I think the next one will be from the viewpoint of Japan's equivalent as it was kind of "foreshadowed". But the Empire's version will possibly come out at some point... even though I don't really see what it could be about... other than you being the strong one and kicking the weaker countries... or some sort of a "traitor"...
@@Petya-yx2hl I mean there was a dlc from the first game that showed the early victories of the empire from the early battles from the gallian invasion maby they can do some kind of prequel campaign to when the empire first formed or during the early years of the main conflict of the games.
Gotta go with VC3 being the best out of all of them It might only come up short graphically but anywhere else it pretty surpasses all the others by far.
Plotwise, 3 is the best. Nameless were really heavy underdogs compared to Squad E, Class G and Squad 7 who had enough support. But I noticed the lack of map variations on missions which is understanble. Gameplay wise, 4 takes the cake as it is massive compared to the rest of the games. Maps are varied too and grenadier is a really great new class. Although the Armored Tech are great in 3, the class changes and potential masteries felt complicated.
the game after 4 sequels is still kinda broken, in the first entry was Alicia rushing with healing and now in 4 you can do it with 3 characters at the same time lol. They have nerfed the scout rushing a little bit but rushing with minerva in 4 still works. I wish they remove that rank system or change the requirements so i don't feel that i have to rush every mission.
I do think 4 at least has missions where scout rushing even with Minerva isnt the only way you can play efficently. I feel like there are maps where the tank shines and all the classes are useful. Valkyria one was just having Alicia run from one end to the level to the end in 90% of cases.
@@GutsOfRiviaI see this as a common complaint, but wonder if it's coming from people who are talking about repeat plays. Because I reboufht the game and doing my first playthrough again and in the first playthrough, you absolutely have to us every single class (except the snipers).
@@PearLock Once I figured out that Alicia can basically run past 90% of the game to win it kinda ruined the magic of the game for me tbh. Ofc there are some maps where this dosent work but its still WAY to many to ignore.
@@GutsOfRivia On first playthrough though? For sure, after you're maxed out and doing other playthroughs, but I'm finding myself using all of the classes right now.
@@PearLock First playthrough was fine I had fun using the tank and all the other classes. But replays tend to get sullied once you know the secret (not so secret) trick.
Id struggle to separate them. I actually like the characters in 4. Ok Raz is a bit of an idiot. Some DLC where the two squads meet shows how similar to Rosie he is in temperament. Only ever got so far through one though. The mega tank mission always stuffed me. Finished 4 twice now. Once on PC and once on Switch
I liked it, but to me it could have been much better. In VC 1 most stages and bosses felt very different from one another, which kept me invested in the game. In VC 4 the amount of times I had to defeat Klaus for example, only for him to act all smug once I defeated him was pretty annoying. Like bro I just wrecked your tank with the hafen and 2 lancers, how are you even alive? It would have been cool if he got a completely different tank in every fight, instead of using a more armored version of the same one. I like the main cast of VC 1 better too. VC 4 did an amazing job with the side characters and their respective squad stories though I'll give it that.
i kinda find it sad that vc 2 is last i really enjoyed that we had more classes and more personality with every character not only having their own mission but also having their own story line you can interact with on the campus
I feel the reason why it's usually last is because of the map repetition and the too school anime-esque plot and too anime stereotype characters. There's no tension like the other games. It's just Valkyria Chronicles slice of life which is kinda odd when you compare it to the other entry in the series. Mind you, I liked the gameplay but after you have played through the same map over and over again...it gets kinda boring fast.
Vc2 is cool and fun but you can't deny that there's a lot of problem in the game. This is the reason why a bought my psp back in the day. I really did enjoy it. The grinding stuff could have been be enjoyable however the randomness of awards given that puts off alot if people.
@@Saifullah-nj9mz definitely finish it. If your min maxing the grinding stuff will be annoying but you can just ignore some of it and just do the mission. Though some of the maps are repetitive. The combat is still good. If your burn out of the game. Maybe you should take a week break from it and play other stuff. When you come play it again you will enjoy the game again.
My first valkyria is VC 2. It was fun but quite grindy. I enjoyed that one had more customization and had more focus on the social aspect. I just recently played VC1 and VC4. I was quite surprised that the original VC 1 was much simpler and not too grindy so far(in chapter 6). I played a little of VC4 and the gameplay much closer to VC1.
I’m playing VC4 right now but I have great memories of VC2 which I still haven’t fully completed yet.. I’d love to see a new localized version of VC3 being most people perhaps haven’t played it.. Another cool idea would be a prequel taking place 20 years earlier WWI inspired
or a sequel in the Middle East, where they happen to find some kind of alternate fuel, that is definitely not black, not a liquid. I would like it to take place in 1947, or 1946, around that time. But I'd imagined the environment to be just have sand dunes and oasis for 75% of the playtime, or a sequel in South America or whatever it's called over there, hell, even Asia, which is likely because the Far East was hinted a few times in VC4.
I had no idea there was a Japanese only PSP release. Downloading the English patch now, it looks soo good. I'm starting with 2 on the PSP now though as an introduction to the battle system. Always wanted to play this series and now I finally am!
that's what I'm doing now!!! I'm replaying VC2 on my psp after not playing for over 10 years. I love it so much. And I haven't even played the other games in the series so I'm doing what you did. Downloading the localization patch for the PPSSPP emulator. Cheers bro!
With how Scout Rushing is such a dominant strategy and how few units are needed to win, the next game might as well be about guerrilla fighters instead of playing as a whole platoon At least then, calling themselves a "squad" would make more sense
My top 5 1. VC4 (Loved the story and characters. Even the Stereotypes are done really well for a fun factor). 2. VC1 (Great Origins and Nostalgia factor) 3. VC3 (Amazing concept but limited hardware) 4. VC2 ( Super Limited but full of charm) 5. VC Revolution (Not as bad as others say but could have done better).
@@ErickLandonRPG I also found the ratio story vs gameplay to be more toward story instead of 50/50. The gameplay is way faster in this game. but the story scenes are still as long as in chronicles. That is not necessarily a bad thing since revolution has quite the complex setup with five traitor that fomented a war. no spoiler please, im still at chapter 2 out of ten.
VC4’s story impressed me so much, it’s one of the tightest, thematically consistent and well-paced plots in any RPG I’ve played, with very dynamic and likeable characters and a truly stand-out villain in Forseti. Both it and VC1 have excellent combat and maps but VC4’s magnificent writing boosts it far ahead of the original for me, without a doubt.
I agree wholeheartedly. I bought it last year and only played a couple chapters before stopping. Decided to download it again a couple weeks ago and my god i fell in love. The story and the characters were all so good, including the villains. Even when he was trying to kick my ass i was always cheering on Walz and wanted him to have a good ending.
Valkyria Chronicles 2 is great. I'm not really one to pay attention to stories in a game, As long as the gameplay is great I'm good with it, as for the grinding problem, I didn't really care, At least it'll take longer for me to end the game so I have something that can kill my boredom. I'm the type of player who grinds a fk ton before actually doing the story missions.
I can only go top 4, because I haven’t played rev yet. 1. Valkyria chronicles 1 2. Valkyria chronicles 4 3. Valkyria chronicles 3 4. Valkyria chronicles 2 Love this series to death and I hope we get a 5th game. Even a remaster for Valkyria 3 would be awesome.
Valkyria Chronicles 2 is the one I'm currently playing. Mostly because it's the only one I could get to work for my emulator on my phone. Tried the 3rd one but it wouldn't work. 🤷 Don't have the money to get any physical copies of the games so this is all I could do. I've seen you talk about these games many times which is why I wanted to try them out. Any tips for the 2nd game for a beginner to the series?
1. Grind a lot (certifications for better classes) 2. Ignore Lancers in late game or level up them into Mortar class. Why ignore them in late game ? It's simple - AT Snipers with Anti Tank Sniper Rifles (from Scout branch) are far better than Lancers with very low accuracy. Mortar class is great in late game, because u can easly defeat V2 with them or kill grouped enemies in camps. 3. Tank B is the best tank in game. Why ? Their turn cost only 1 CP, great mobility and have very strong machinegun vs tank radiator / infantry / V2. 4. Do classmate missions ASAP for unlocking their hidden potencials. 5. In late game there is a very OP enemy unit - V2. Kill them ASAP, because they have:: good mobility, endurance, strong attack dmg against infantry, and they can easly one shot your tank. The best class for kill that guys are: Commando (with Flamethrower), Mortarer, Sniper Elite (with triple shot Sniper Rifles like Brondel), Fencers Elite and ofcourse tank. Gunner with light machine gun (Heavy Gunners are worse because they deal better dmg, but have very low attack range), is also good with defense from them in enemy phase. 6. Enemies Aces drops very good waepons, especially submachineguns for Schocktroopers like Hildr. 7. Ignore Enginner Elite class, Medics are much better choice. Medics can not only heal your units, but also revive your troops in battle. Buffers and Debuffers classes like Anthem Corporal are also usefull, especially in maps with many enemy infantry like Ragnite Mines. 8. Mauler is best class VS tanks i strongly recommend them with characters with ,,VS Armor boost'', they making Lancers the most useless class in game. 9. Ignore orders. They are nerfed to much, and cost much more CP than in VC1/VC3/VC4. They are still strong, but high CP cost is just not worth it. 10. Avan is very unique character, because he can by any class in game. The best class for him is not default Scout but Fencer Elite with Doube Movement hidden potential.
In all honesty I think I would have put Valkyria Chronicles 3 in front of Valkyria Chronicles 4 because I personnaly had a better time playing it and I enjoy Kurt a bit more as a leader than Claude. Great video either way !
Same as you , but its hard to pick because all is great , VC2 is my first and i love playing it so much , then i went for VC1 but I prefer the anime , better story and emotional moments , cant even hold tears . VC3 is literally the best , VC4 is good and well-designed , nice story and even happier when i unlocked the true-ending
You thought you could just put Minerva in the thumbnail and get me to click on your video!? Well, you're right... On a more serious note, nice list; I may actually give Valkyria Revolution a chance after hearing this take on it.
My first experience with the series was on steam. I played it, and thought "Cool, its like anime XCom!" Then I wanted to play the second game and find out 2 and 3 are only for PSP! I have ALL xbox systems, switch and (No Shit) PC. Pisses me off I can't play them. And i am not going to buy a console for two games. Did not know about Revolution though. I need to look into that. Thanks for the heads up. Hopefully some day they all go to steam or switch or something and I could get the full Valkyrie experience.
There is an emulator program called "PPSSPP" you can play VC2 and VC3 on your Pc without any problems. All you gotta do is find an ISO, extract it and run it on PPSSPP. Basically type "Valkyria chronicles 2 PPSSPP download" you will find loads of sites, just click on one and do the same thing with vc3 and if you don't like pirating and want to be safe, download a virus protection and if you already have one, go ahead. I know this might be late but hey, it might help you or anyone who sees this.
I loved VC4. I Just wish there was more risk in losing characters and more interesting adversaries that I could actually kill. Also more defense type missions. I felt every time I put together a good defense I was forced to move everyone further along.
Valkyria Chronicles 4 was an incredible letdown. VC1 was a breath of fresh air. VC2 took the limitations of the PSP hardware as an opportunity to add more varied mechanics and much needed depth to customization and growth of characters. VC3 combined and refined the storytelling of VC1 with the mechanics of VC2 into the best Valkyria Chronicles game to date. VC4 came along and reverted to everything VC1 had already accomplished, introduced a single new class while doing away with so many that VC2 and VC3 had introduced, and went from the wonderful storytelling and character depth of VC1 and VC3 to stock and trope characters, including one who is supposed to be endearing not just in spite of his constant sexual harassment of female units, but BECAUSE of that harassment. VC 1, 2, and 3 all improved upon their predecessors, something 4 completely failed to do.
mostly agree, but the new class, grenadier are not so balanced (first patch), and the enemies/events always 'pop up' in the middle unexpectedly, and i have to save, load to get S rank. It is annoying. But still VC4 is much more better than revolution, Revolution is not VC series, it is even not a strategic game, it sucks
I played VC 1 and 4. They’re really good games. The story elements and character developments are well done, if a bit… predictable? I mean, if you’ve watched a lot of anime or played a lot of Japanese games, you’ll start seeing patterns, but they’re well delivered. I was especially surprised by how mature VC 4 is. There’s swearing, edgy/sexually suggestive/psychologically disturbing content (like, if your kinda flirtatious buddy is KIA, upon returning to base you get to open her will and she leaves you her engagement ring to be returned to her fiancé) so I wouldn’t let a young kid play, but older teens and adults will probably enjoy it. I’m a huge fan of tactical rpgs, so that I had a lot of fun with the VC ones, but my main gripe is how the best score is always achieved by getting to the objective in the least possible turns, period. So, the trick is not to try and clear the whole map, but to find a way to weasel your way to the finish line-even though it makes no sense story wise (like, you would be leaving your whole squad behind enemy lines, but since your leader is back to base, everyone’s now safe). I get how this type of mission can be fun, and having a few « against the clock » missions can be a useful story device, but if that’s the only way to get the best score (and bonus weapons etc.), then it gets a bit old and unfulfilling. At least for me. Still, I’d recommend trying these games to basically anyone.
Good video. I'm going to replay all the games some day, so my opinion could change but as of now, my favorite game would be 3, followed by a tie between 1 and 4, and then 2. I should mention I enjoyed 2, but I just liked the other ones more. I have not played Revolution because I was put off by what others have said about it, but after seeing this video I may consider giving it a chance one day.
I would say Valkyria Chronicles 4 is better than 1. Despite my love for the original, there is no doubt in my opinion that Valkyria Chronicles 4 is better, nostalgia goggles can not blind me to that fact. It is literally VC1 but with more content, more depth for side characters, and a story that for me ended up being just as memorable as the first.
4:32 I am sorry to be THAT guy but, in VC3 they were a PENAL squad not mercenaries. IE they were criminals/undesireables in the GALIA army (not the federation) and they were fighting a squad of Empire Darcsens (also undesireables in their own country) which is honestly WHY vc3 has the best story line out of all the games.
I never knew there was a spin-off until now. From what I have seen in the franchise, I think the first Valkyria Chronicles had the best story and animation. The fourth game I think could have been better if there wasn't so much language in it. Otherwise, it would be fine.
In some ways Valkyria Azure Revolution is more fun, less tactical but definitely an enjoyable experience. Still need to play VC 2 and VC 3 holding it off hoping for a remaster with better graphics :D.
If we ever get a VC5, the biggest change I'd like to see made is the adoption of an XCom-like wound/fatigue system so there's more incentive to vary up your squad. I'd also like to see the extra turns taken away from leaders, because it punishes you so hard if you don't take all your leaders on every single mission. I just finished VC4 and felt like I got stuck with the exact same squad every single mission, except I could switch up the Lancer. And also the Engineer, but there's only 3 Engineers. Granted, unlocking Squad Stories is a huge incentive to try to squeeze every soldier in somewhere, but I want a gameplay incentive.
I agree with a fatigue system 100%, I've played 1 more than once and every single time I never used most of my squad, let alone the reserves benched in the barracks. Not sure about removing leader units though. Just as losing a leader stings, having enemy leaders to focus on to starve the AI out of CP is one of the few strategical elements this series actually has. Also 4 made leaders even better by making them able to team up with other units, that's an ability that I had a ton of fun with and I'd hate to see it gone.
And add cover system like in XCOM/Gears of War, because cover behind ONLY sandbags is really outdated mechanic. Plus give us customization from VC3, with unlocking hidden potentials and classes, which was awesome. They should also fix that clunky menu navigation.
I can't believe it's 2023 and SEGA still hasn't announced anything new for this fantastic series. I wouldn't mind if they took the liberty to explore the same gameplay in alternate universes, maybe something more futuristic or medieval would be really cool.
Last game sold really bad, at least at release date for full price. And one of developers Mediavision have troubles with making games after 2018 (they developed 0 games since 2018), and SEGA GE2 is too small dev team to made a console game by himself. And priorytes for Sega now like always: Sonic, Yakuza and Persona.
@@nr2676 How bad, might I ask? It's hard to find updated sales figures. It did get 1M sales by 2020 though, that isn't half bad. People say it had a bad launch because of the competition but like, VC1 was technically a flopped launch too. Somehow SEGA greenlit the anime anyways and the game skyrocketed in sales (SEGA PR said something like a 4x spike in sales) but, were it not for that, the series could've died there.
I checked SteamDB for both 1 and 4 and it seems 1 had more than double the amount of players at launch for 4, even if 4 has more concurrent players right now. So I guess that's a bad sign.
Launch sales were around 300k copies on all platforms (similar to Star Ocean 6 sales which was also massive flop by Square Enix), Sega expected 1M launch sales like VC1 Steam port (keep atention PC port was for 20$, but VC4 was for 60$). It sold 1M copies but after 1,5 year, after many price drops to 10-20$. I think this is the problem with VC: players clearly see this is very budget title from PS3 era (same graphic, UI and engine from 2008), so they dont want to buy those games for full price for game who looks like expansion for first game (like Octopath Traveler 2 with Octopath Traveler 1, when second game sold much worse than first game). Second problem is platform, game is designed to portable gaming, but Fire Emblem totaly dominate on Switch, and we dont have Playstation handhelds like PSP or PSV, when VC2 & VC3 sold pretty good, especially VC3 in Japan which is best selling game in series in that country (it sold 300k ALONE only in Japan and only on PSP, better than VC4 worldwide at launch on multiplatform). VC4 should be VC2, released on PS3 around 2010-2011, not on PS4 in 2018. They released VC4 seven years too late, and without marketing (+ bad release date).@@Ramash440
I still need to play revolution. I want to add it to my collection so badly. I am obsessed with this series. I’m only missing the 3rd game because region locked. But I still love this series to this day
My first game was the 4 and it was amazing. Later I tried the remaster of the 1 and didn't feel right. Rather, it feel different. I guess because the 5 has a better port for PC than 1.
Ok, thanks to this video I returned to VC4 after two months of Backlog Cleaning (poke pikachu, odyssey, smash WoL, celeste and no more heroes) and this game is just too good. I beat the first combat against the two lolis, and I didn't realize how to handle them until very late in the battle lol Such a great game, man. I'd put VC4 as the best one so far, just to let people know that the franchise is going strong in terms of gameplay
Не так давно появилась русская версия для psp Valkyria Chronicles 3: Extra Edition! Я установид это на свой psp и наслаждаюсь!)) Not so long ago, the Russian version for psp Valkyria Chronicles 3: Extra Edition appeared! I installed this on my psp and enjoy it!))
4th is cool, but it wouldn't kill them to bring back some 3rd system back, i would prefer leveling the stats than the class, also interchangeable tank gear ,2nd started this, then 3rd, but 4th take the 1st tank system, also, to be able change your class for whatever character you want is awesome. Hope they remake the 2nd and 3rd with the same engine as 1st and 4th.
I prefer the 4. The missions are really really goods. I love the gameplay, the think fast you have to get in the missions... Hell, that mission when we're under attack in our camp during chapter 6 was really cool. Very difficult. But it was incredibly rewarding. VC1 would be second for me. 4 is a tad better.
Is there any point of buying the bundle on the Nintendo eshop which has the Valkyria 1 and the Valkyria 4 bundled together. Or is it better to just get the 4 with the extra DLC included? Thx
I have the original VC, and the PS4 remaster. I just got the Switch version (yesterday) and am playing through it now. It's probably the worst version of the original game, but only minorly so. It occasionally has trouble rendering tree foliage, but otherwise (so far) is identical to the original. Only played 4 of the five games. I have the spinoff game, but haven't finished it. I also have VC2 on the PSP. As for VC4, I appreciate and enjoy it, but still prefer the first game. A lot of improvements and additions were added in VC4, but in the end it feels less streamlined than the first game.
Hi, Eric! Thanks for your video. I have a question regarding the 4:00 time code. Why VC3 look so good there? It feels like a PC port or something because there is anti-aliasing and the graphics are smooth.
I played Valkyria Chronicles when it first came out and absolutely love it. I had never and have never since played any other game like it (which is not something you get to say much anymore). I plyed the 1st and 2nd games and love them both. After my PS3 broke I swore off of console gaming, so I am glad that VC4 is available for PC. Now to gather enough money to build a PC.
The Top 5 Valkyria Games! ALSO the Worst 5 Valkyria Games! Hahaha. Well there are only five games so both ways work. (I like the games and story though i hate fighting those endgame tanks that keeps protecting its weakspot and running away.) Never played the spinoff, no console.
nice ranking, it's great to see some people give Revolution a fair chance, Here my rank for the Valkyria series 1st Valkyria Chronicles 2nd Valkyria Revolution 3rd Valkyria Chronicles 2 4th Valkyria Chronicles 4 haven't gotten the honor to play 3 yet :(
I don't understand how anyone can like the psp games better than 4, or 1. having to navigate through a bunch of tiny repetitive maps is for each mission is so tedious, and it really make the game feel small scale. Even if the story is better, having to play on those pathetic little battlefields takes a lot of the fun out of the game. you could make the arguement that they are more tactical, but in a boring and grindy way.
Hmm. i notice the guitar in your background. Is the intro music your own playing? As a guitarist and musician of two decades myself, I can tell whoever is playing in that intro that they should really learn how to play with some vibrato. It makes guitar playing rise above the sound of flat electric guitar samples. As is, your intro music kind of sounds like amateur power metal that may or not have been programmed using virtual instruments. It's got that sterile feel. Vibrato adds a very human element. It's worth developing. Can't help commenting about this as a passionate death metal player.
The sad part of VC 4 is (aside from raz part in VC4) sega don't give us a chance to use valkyria (we can use them for postgame only). I hope for the next VC game sega make valkyria as a protagonist :)
And with title that called somelike "Veteran's Chronicles" Gameplay with older protagonist and some buff thanks to their experiece in war. Just my opinion btw.
Valkryia 1s gameplay kinda gets trumped by all the other ones. I just didnt like how Valkyria one basically just devolves into Alica running and skipping almost all levels as the most efficent way to play.
I wish there was more games like this. Fire Emblem is similar but the aesthetic is really different. Perhaps in the future there will be a Valkyria Chronicles 5.
Try code name steam on 3ds!
Try Advance Wars Days of Ruin.
There was few games with similar or identical combat system, and all of them were developed by ... Valkyria Chronicles team.

Vc3 is better story wise.
3 is the best I prefer acctually trying to use strategy over having one girl run past anime nazis for 8 hours.

It's hard to choose a winner. For a time, VC3 was my favourite, but I love 1 and 4 so much as well that I can't decide nowadays, hahaha.

They have nerfed the scout rushing a little bit but rushing with minerva in 4 still works. I wish they remove that rank system or change the requirements so i don't feel that i have to rush every mission.
I do think 4 at least has missions where scout rushing even with Minerva isnt the only way you can play efficently. I feel like there are maps where the tank shines and all the classes are useful. Valkyria one was just having Alicia run from one end to the level to the end in 90% of cases.
@@GutsOfRiviaI see this as a common complaint, but wonder if it's coming from people who are talking about repeat plays. Because I reboufht the game and doing my first playthrough again and in the first playthrough, you absolutely have to us every single class (except the snipers).
@@PearLock Once I figured out that Alicia can basically run past 90% of the game to win it kinda ruined the magic of the game for me tbh. Ofc there are some maps where this dosent work but its still WAY to many to ignore.
@@GutsOfRivia On first playthrough though? For sure, after you're maxed out and doing other playthroughs, but I'm finding myself using all of the classes right now.
@@PearLock First playthrough was fine I had fun using the tank and all the other classes. But replays tend to get sullied once you know the secret (not so secret) trick.
VC3 has the best plot in the entire series
I strongly agree.
Just finished oml it made me cry
@@aarondichoso6557 Really hammers down just how hidden the Nameless is
I WISH I COULD FUCKING PLAY IT
I want remasters and new ports for Valkyria Chronicles 2 and 3 first dammit. 5 Can really wait
I really love VC4. Even more than 1
Yeah, it's fantastic.
VC1 is only higher on my favorite game tier list and VC4 because of sentimental value.
Id struggle to separate them. I actually like the characters in 4. Ok Raz is a bit of an idiot. Some DLC where the two squads meet shows how similar to Rosie he is in temperament. Only ever got so far through one though. The mega tank mission always stuffed me. Finished 4 twice now. Once on PC and once on Switch
I liked it, but to me it could have been much better. In VC 1 most stages and bosses felt very different from one another, which kept me invested in the game. In VC 4 the amount of times I had to defeat Klaus for example, only for him to act all smug once I defeated him was pretty annoying. Like bro I just wrecked your tank with the hafen and 2 lancers, how are you even alive? It would have been cool if he got a completely different tank in every fight, instead of using a more armored version of the same one. I like the main cast of VC 1 better too. VC 4 did an amazing job with the side characters and their respective squad stories though I'll give it that.
i kinda find it sad that vc 2 is last i really enjoyed that we had more classes and more personality with every character not only having their own mission but also having their own story line you can interact with on the campus
I feel the reason why it's usually last is because of the map repetition and the too school anime-esque plot and too anime stereotype characters. There's no tension like the other games. It's just Valkyria Chronicles slice of life which is kinda odd when you compare it to the other entry in the series. Mind you, I liked the gameplay but after you have played through the same map over and over again...it gets kinda boring fast.
Vc2 is cool and fun but you can't deny that there's a lot of problem in the game. This is the reason why a bought my psp back in the day. I really did enjoy it. The grinding stuff could have been be enjoyable however the randomness of awards given that puts off alot if people.
@@rayqonza8084 should I finish it? I liked it but it’s way Grindy.I’m in March.would you put where in your list
@@Saifullah-nj9mz definitely finish it. If your min maxing the grinding stuff will be annoying but you can just ignore some of it and just do the mission. Though some of the maps are repetitive. The combat is still good. If your burn out of the game. Maybe you should take a week break from it and play other stuff. When you come play it again you will enjoy the game again.
My first valkyria is VC 2. It was fun but quite grindy. I enjoyed that one had more customization and had more focus on the social aspect. I just recently played VC1 and VC4. I was quite surprised that the original VC 1 was much simpler and not too grindy so far(in chapter 6). I played a little of VC4 and the gameplay much closer to VC1.
Valkyrie Chronicles 4 on the switch is my first Valkyrie, it’s great! Great video
I’m playing VC4 right now but I have great memories of VC2 which I still haven’t fully completed yet.. I’d love to see a new localized version of VC3 being most people perhaps haven’t played it..
Another cool idea would be a prequel taking place 20 years earlier WWI inspired
or a sequel in the Middle East, where they happen to find some kind of alternate fuel, that is definitely not black, not a liquid. I would like it to take place in 1947, or 1946, around that time. But I'd imagined the environment to be just have sand dunes and oasis for 75% of the playtime, or a sequel in South America or whatever it's called over there, hell, even Asia, which is likely because the Far East was hinted a few times in VC4.
Just play the English patch version of it man it's good, but goddamnit i hate Clarissa so much that i stopped playing the game because of it🗿
I had no idea there was a Japanese only PSP release. Downloading the English patch now, it looks soo good. I'm starting with 2 on the PSP now though as an introduction to the battle system. Always wanted to play this series and now I finally am!
that's what I'm doing now!!! I'm replaying VC2 on my psp after not playing for over 10 years. I love it so much. And I haven't even played the other games in the series so I'm doing what you did. Downloading the localization patch for the PPSSPP emulator. Cheers bro!
With how Scout Rushing is such a dominant strategy and how few units are needed to win, the next game might as well be about guerrilla fighters instead of playing as a whole platoon
At least then, calling themselves a "squad" would make more sense
My top 5
1. VC4 (Loved the story and characters. Even the Stereotypes are done really well for a fun factor).
2. VC1 (Great Origins and Nostalgia factor)
3. VC3 (Amazing concept but limited hardware)
4. VC2 ( Super Limited but full of charm)
5. VC Revolution (Not as bad as others say but could have done better).
The 3rd one has best intro.
VC3 have the Best maps, Best dlc maps and everybody can change classes...
The newer games are cool, but nothing compares to VC1.
Valkyria Chronicles 4 is the best looking game and has the most complex maps and most mechanics.
My tier:
1- Valkyria Chronicles 3
2- Valkyria Chronicles 4
3- Valkyria Chronicles
4- Valkyria Chronicles 2
5- Valkyria Azure Revolution
Mine was:
1. VC3
2. VC1
3. VC4
4. VC2
I have yet to play Revolution, but this video makes me want to try it out. Maybe it might top VC1 for me.
Just keep in mind it's completely different from the Chronicles series.
@@ErickLandonRPG I also found the ratio story vs gameplay to be more toward story instead of 50/50. The gameplay is way faster in this game. but the story scenes are still as long as in chronicles. That is not necessarily a bad thing since revolution has quite the complex setup with five traitor that fomented a war. no spoiler please, im still at chapter 2 out of ten.
Great content and ergo proxy poster on the wall 👍
the good old days when we had time stamps.
VC4’s story impressed me so much, it’s one of the tightest, thematically consistent and well-paced plots in any RPG I’ve played, with very dynamic and likeable characters and a truly stand-out villain in Forseti. Both it and VC1 have excellent combat and maps but VC4’s magnificent writing boosts it far ahead of the original for me, without a doubt.
I agree wholeheartedly. I bought it last year and only played a couple chapters before stopping. Decided to download it again a couple weeks ago and my god i fell in love. The story and the characters were all so good, including the villains. Even when he was trying to kick my ass i was always cheering on Walz and wanted him to have a good ending.
Valkyria Chronicles 2 is great. I'm not really one to pay attention to stories in a game, As long as the gameplay is great I'm good with it, as for the grinding problem, I didn't really care, At least it'll take longer for me to end the game so I have something that can kill my boredom. I'm the type of player who grinds a fk ton before actually doing the story missions.
I can only go top 4, because I haven’t played rev yet.
1. Valkyria chronicles 1
2. Valkyria chronicles 4
3. Valkyria chronicles 3
4. Valkyria chronicles 2
Love this series to death and I hope we get a 5th game. Even a remaster for Valkyria 3 would be awesome.
Haven't tried 4 yet but 4's better than 3?
For the people who don't know how to play VC2 And VC3 on PC, You can download their ISOs online and use PPSSPP emulator to play with them.
Playing VC2 on my Vita now and allready instandly loving it!!
Valkyria Chronicles 2 is the one I'm currently playing. Mostly because it's the only one I could get to work for my emulator on my phone. Tried the 3rd one but it wouldn't work. 🤷 Don't have the money to get any physical copies of the games so this is all I could do. I've seen you talk about these games many times which is why I wanted to try them out. Any tips for the 2nd game for a beginner to the series?
1. Grind a lot (certifications for better classes)
2. Ignore Lancers in late game or level up them into Mortar class. Why ignore them in late game ? It's simple - AT Snipers with Anti Tank Sniper Rifles (from Scout branch) are far better than Lancers with very low accuracy. Mortar class is great in late game, because u can easly defeat V2 with them or kill grouped enemies in camps.
3. Tank B is the best tank in game. Why ? Their turn cost only 1 CP, great mobility and have very strong machinegun vs tank radiator / infantry / V2.
4. Do classmate missions ASAP for unlocking their hidden potencials.
5. In late game there is a very OP enemy unit - V2. Kill them ASAP, because they have:: good mobility, endurance, strong attack dmg against infantry, and they can easly one shot your tank. The best class for kill that guys are: Commando (with Flamethrower), Mortarer, Sniper Elite (with triple shot Sniper Rifles like Brondel), Fencers Elite and ofcourse tank. Gunner with light machine gun (Heavy Gunners are worse because they deal better dmg, but have very low attack range), is also good with defense from them in enemy phase.
6. Enemies Aces drops very good waepons, especially submachineguns for Schocktroopers like Hildr.
7. Ignore Enginner Elite class, Medics are much better choice. Medics can not only heal your units, but also revive your troops in battle. Buffers and Debuffers classes like Anthem Corporal are also usefull, especially in maps with many enemy infantry like Ragnite Mines.
8. Mauler is best class VS tanks i strongly recommend them with characters with ,,VS Armor boost'', they making Lancers the most useless class in game.
9. Ignore orders. They are nerfed to much, and cost much more CP than in VC1/VC3/VC4. They are still strong, but high CP cost is just not worth it.
10. Avan is very unique character, because he can by any class in game. The best class for him is not default Scout but Fencer Elite with Doube Movement hidden potential.
First play VC 1, then play VC 4, go back to VC 1, "why VC 1 so grinding!?"
In all honesty I think I would have put Valkyria Chronicles 3 in front of Valkyria Chronicles 4 because I personnaly had a better time playing it and I enjoy Kurt a bit more as a leader than Claude.
Great video either way !
I love those games. Valkyria Chronicles is life.
Maybe my head is broken, but i like VC2 more, then VC1 & VC4. But VC3 - is the best for me.
Same as you , but its hard to pick because all is great , VC2 is my first and i love playing it so much , then i went for VC1 but I prefer the anime , better story and emotional moments , cant even hold tears . VC3 is literally the best , VC4 is good and well-designed , nice story and even happier when i unlocked the true-ending
That job system made a big difference.
You thought you could just put Minerva in the thumbnail and get me to click on your video!?
Well, you're right...
On a more serious note, nice list; I may actually give Valkyria Revolution a chance after hearing this take on it.
My first experience with the series was on steam. I played it, and thought "Cool, its like anime XCom!" Then I wanted to play the second game and find out 2 and 3 are only for PSP!
I have ALL xbox systems, switch and (No Shit) PC. Pisses me off I can't play them. And i am not going to buy a console for two games.
Did not know about Revolution though. I need to look into that. Thanks for the heads up. Hopefully some day they all go to steam or switch or something and I could get the full Valkyrie experience.
There is an emulator program called "PPSSPP" you can play VC2 and VC3 on your Pc without any problems. All you gotta do is find an ISO, extract it and run it on PPSSPP. Basically type "Valkyria chronicles 2 PPSSPP download" you will find loads of sites, just click on one and do the same thing with vc3 and if you don't like pirating and want to be safe, download a virus protection and if you already have one, go ahead. I know this might be late but hey, it might help you or anyone who sees this.
@sohit singh You did not read the whole comment...
Valkyria chronicles 2 isn't really standalone, but you can watch the anime which revolves around VC 1 so you'll be all caught up
I loved VC4. I Just wish there was more risk in losing characters and more interesting adversaries that I could actually kill. Also more defense type missions. I felt every time I put together a good defense I was forced to move everyone further along.
Valkyria Chronicles 4 was an incredible letdown. VC1 was a breath of fresh air. VC2 took the limitations of the PSP hardware as an opportunity to add more varied mechanics and much needed depth to customization and growth of characters. VC3 combined and refined the storytelling of VC1 with the mechanics of VC2 into the best Valkyria Chronicles game to date. VC4 came along and reverted to everything VC1 had already accomplished, introduced a single new class while doing away with so many that VC2 and VC3 had introduced, and went from the wonderful storytelling and character depth of VC1 and VC3 to stock and trope characters, including one who is supposed to be endearing not just in spite of his constant sexual harassment of female units, but BECAUSE of that harassment.
VC 1, 2, and 3 all improved upon their predecessors, something 4 completely failed to do.
God I wish they'd make more of this series. And advance the story.
My list
1. VC 3
2. VC 1 ties with VC 4
3. VC 2
4. Revolution
mostly agree, but the new class, grenadier are not so balanced (first patch),
and the enemies/events always 'pop up' in the middle unexpectedly, and i have to save, load to get S rank. It is annoying.
But still VC4 is much more better than revolution, Revolution is not VC series, it is even not a strategic game, it sucks
I played VC 1 and 4. They’re really good games. The story elements and character developments are well done, if a bit… predictable? I mean, if you’ve watched a lot of anime or played a lot of Japanese games, you’ll start seeing patterns, but they’re well delivered.
I was especially surprised by how mature VC 4 is. There’s swearing, edgy/sexually suggestive/psychologically disturbing content (like, if your kinda flirtatious buddy is KIA, upon returning to base you get to open her will and she leaves you her engagement ring to be returned to her fiancé) so I wouldn’t let a young kid play, but older teens and adults will probably enjoy it.
I’m a huge fan of tactical rpgs, so that I had a lot of fun with the VC ones, but my main gripe is how the best score is always achieved by getting to the objective in the least possible turns, period. So, the trick is not to try and clear the whole map, but to find a way to weasel your way to the finish line-even though it makes no sense story wise (like, you would be leaving your whole squad behind enemy lines, but since your leader is back to base, everyone’s now safe). I get how this type of mission can be fun, and having a few « against the clock » missions can be a useful story device, but if that’s the only way to get the best score (and bonus weapons etc.), then it gets a bit old and unfulfilling. At least for me. Still, I’d recommend trying these games to basically anyone.
Good video. I'm going to replay all the games some day, so my opinion could change but as of now, my favorite game would be 3, followed by a tie between 1 and 4, and then 2. I should mention I enjoyed 2, but I just liked the other ones more. I have not played Revolution because I was put off by what others have said about it, but after seeing this video I may consider giving it a chance one day.
This series needs some heavy hitting advertising cuz its awesome
Nice list. We need Valkyria 3 for Ps4, Xbox One and Pc. I remember their characters from Project X Zone 1
I would say Valkyria Chronicles 4 is better than 1. Despite my love for the original, there is no doubt in my opinion that Valkyria Chronicles 4 is better, nostalgia goggles can not blind me to that fact. It is literally VC1 but with more content, more depth for side characters, and a story that for me ended up being just as memorable as the first.
4:32 I am sorry to be THAT guy but, in VC3 they were a PENAL squad not mercenaries. IE they were criminals/undesireables in the GALIA army (not the federation) and they were fighting a squad of Empire Darcsens (also undesireables in their own country) which is honestly WHY vc3 has the best story line out of all the games.
IMO
3 > 4 > 1 >>> 2 >>>>>>>>>>> Rev
I remember VC2 coming to PSP instead of PS3 teenage me was so confused.
I never knew there was a spin-off until now. From what I have seen in the franchise, I think the first Valkyria Chronicles had the best story and animation. The fourth game I think could have been better if there wasn't so much language in it. Otherwise, it would be fine.
I would love to see a official VC3 western release. Though we're more likely to see a VC5 announcement, which I'd be very happy with.
I've only had the pleasure of playing the original but LOVE IT!
In some ways Valkyria Azure Revolution is more fun, less tactical but definitely an enjoyable experience.
Still need to play VC 2 and VC 3 holding it off hoping for a remaster with better graphics :D.
I don't care what other people said but I think valkyria 2 really fun with so many class compare to other valkyria
All are great games.
If we ever get a VC5, the biggest change I'd like to see made is the adoption of an XCom-like wound/fatigue system so there's more incentive to vary up your squad. I'd also like to see the extra turns taken away from leaders, because it punishes you so hard if you don't take all your leaders on every single mission. I just finished VC4 and felt like I got stuck with the exact same squad every single mission, except I could switch up the Lancer. And also the Engineer, but there's only 3 Engineers. Granted, unlocking Squad Stories is a huge incentive to try to squeeze every soldier in somewhere, but I want a gameplay incentive.
I agree with a fatigue system 100%, I've played 1 more than once and every single time I never used most of my squad, let alone the reserves benched in the barracks. Not sure about removing leader units though. Just as losing a leader stings, having enemy leaders to focus on to starve the AI out of CP is one of the few strategical elements this series actually has. Also 4 made leaders even better by making them able to team up with other units, that's an ability that I had a ton of fun with and I'd hate to see it gone.
And add cover system like in XCOM/Gears of War, because cover behind ONLY sandbags is really outdated mechanic. Plus give us customization from VC3, with unlocking hidden potentials and classes, which was awesome. They should also fix that clunky menu navigation.
I go blind - Azure Revolutiom, 2, 1,4,3 -were I right?
You got just 1 out of 5. lol
I can't believe it's 2023 and SEGA still hasn't announced anything new for this fantastic series. I wouldn't mind if they took the liberty to explore the same gameplay in alternate universes, maybe something more futuristic or medieval would be really cool.
Last game sold really bad, at least at release date for full price. And one of developers Mediavision have troubles with making games after 2018 (they developed 0 games since 2018), and SEGA GE2 is too small dev team to made a console game by himself. And priorytes for Sega now like always: Sonic, Yakuza and Persona.
@@nr2676 How bad, might I ask? It's hard to find updated sales figures. It did get 1M sales by 2020 though, that isn't half bad. People say it had a bad launch because of the competition but like, VC1 was technically a flopped launch too. Somehow SEGA greenlit the anime anyways and the game skyrocketed in sales (SEGA PR said something like a 4x spike in sales) but, were it not for that, the series could've died there.
I checked SteamDB for both 1 and 4 and it seems 1 had more than double the amount of players at launch for 4, even if 4 has more concurrent players right now. So I guess that's a bad sign.
Launch sales were around 300k copies on all platforms (similar to Star Ocean 6 sales which was also massive flop by Square Enix), Sega expected 1M launch sales like VC1 Steam port (keep atention PC port was for 20$, but VC4 was for 60$). It sold 1M copies but after 1,5 year, after many price drops to 10-20$. I think this is the problem with VC: players clearly see this is very budget title from PS3 era (same graphic, UI and engine from 2008), so they dont want to buy those games for full price for game who looks like expansion for first game (like Octopath Traveler 2 with Octopath Traveler 1, when second game sold much worse than first game). Second problem is platform, game is designed to portable gaming, but Fire Emblem totaly dominate on Switch, and we dont have Playstation handhelds like PSP or PSV, when VC2 & VC3 sold pretty good, especially VC3 in Japan which is best selling game in series in that country (it sold 300k ALONE only in Japan and only on PSP, better than VC4 worldwide at launch on multiplatform). VC4 should be VC2, released on PS3 around 2010-2011, not on PS4 in 2018. They released VC4 seven years too late, and without marketing (+ bad release date).@@Ramash440
I still need to play revolution. I want to add it to my collection so badly. I am obsessed with this series. I’m only missing the 3rd game because region locked. But I still love this series to this day
My first game was the 4 and it was amazing. Later I tried the remaster of the 1 and didn't feel right. Rather, it feel different. I guess because the 5 has a better port for PC than 1.
Ok, thanks to this video I returned to VC4 after two months of Backlog Cleaning (poke pikachu, odyssey, smash WoL, celeste and no more heroes) and this game is just too good. I beat the first combat against the two lolis, and I didn't realize how to handle them until very late in the battle lol
Such a great game, man. I'd put VC4 as the best one so far, just to let people know that the franchise is going strong in terms of gameplay
Не так давно появилась русская версия для psp Valkyria Chronicles 3: Extra Edition! Я установид это на свой psp и наслаждаюсь!))
Not so long ago, the Russian version for psp Valkyria Chronicles 3: Extra Edition appeared! I installed this on my psp and enjoy it!))
Love the channel mate.
4th is cool, but it wouldn't kill them to bring back some 3rd system back, i would prefer leveling the stats than the class, also interchangeable tank gear ,2nd started this, then 3rd, but 4th take the 1st tank system, also, to be able change your class for whatever character you want is awesome.
Hope they remake the 2nd and 3rd with the same engine as 1st and 4th.
I prefer the 4. The missions are really really goods. I love the gameplay, the think fast you have to get in the missions...
Hell, that mission when we're under attack in our camp during chapter 6 was really cool. Very difficult. But it was incredibly rewarding.
VC1 would be second for me. 4 is a tad better.
VC3 all the way been able to use the valkyria power is awesome!!!!
I only played VC4 but watched the VC1 anime so I was able to follow the story.
Is there any point of buying the bundle on the Nintendo eshop which has the Valkyria 1 and the Valkyria 4 bundled together. Or is it better to just get the 4 with the extra DLC included? Thx
I have the original VC, and the PS4 remaster. I just got the Switch version (yesterday) and am playing through it now. It's probably the worst version of the original game, but only minorly so. It occasionally has trouble rendering tree foliage, but otherwise (so far) is identical to the original.
Only played 4 of the five games. I have the spinoff game, but haven't finished it. I also have VC2 on the PSP. As for VC4, I appreciate and enjoy it, but still prefer the first game. A lot of improvements and additions were added in VC4, but in the end it feels less streamlined than the first game.
The 4th was close to my no.1 spot but felt like it was a step back not forward form the class system set up by part 3.
Ive played all VC and I must say, how love I love VC1, its VC 4 top for me and the best, maybe because of lovely Riley Miller ^^
i'm starting love this channel more :)
for me i ranked the game like this from worst to best :
5- VC2
4- VR
3- VC4
2- VC3
1- VC1
Why do you put VC2 low in your list,Just wanted to know your reason
@@Saifullah-nj9mz imo there is no fucus point like the other games, VC2 was a mess.
but the music was the same 👍.
I read somewhere that VC4 didn't sell well, I really hope that's not true and the franchise doesn't get canned again.
Well, it sold less than Persona 5
Thanks for doing this. Appreciate the hard work. Going to play Valkyria Revolution after am done with Ni No kuni II Revenant Kingdom
Hope you enjoy it!
I really enjoyed your content. All I play is RPGs . Salute!
Still one of the goats of gaming.
I'm planning to play vc4 now since i liked vc2 which is the first game in the series i've played.
Para mí esta saga es el pináculo de los juegos de estrategia por turnos en cuanto a gameplay y no se por qué hay tan pocos juegos así.
Es algo que pienso responder en el vídeo de mañana :D
@@ErickLandonRPG Genial :)
just got these games digitally and want to get the physical copies after beating them all.
hell excited 😁
Agree a 100% with this list!
Hi, Eric!
Thanks for your video. I have a question regarding the 4:00 time code. Why VC3 look so good there? It feels like a PC port or something because there is anti-aliasing and the graphics are smooth.
Emulator
2, 1, 4, 3 imo
We don't talk about the other one
I played Valkyria Chronicles when it first came out and absolutely love it. I had never and have never since played any other game like it (which is not something you get to say much anymore). I plyed the 1st and 2nd games and love them both. After my PS3 broke I swore off of console gaming, so I am glad that VC4 is available for PC. Now to gather enough money to build a PC.
The Top 5 Valkyria Games!
ALSO the Worst 5 Valkyria Games! Hahaha. Well there are only five games so both ways work.
(I like the games and story though i hate fighting those endgame tanks that keeps protecting its weakspot and running away.)
Never played the spinoff, no console.
There was 7th saga in his intro. What a fucking legend!!!
nice ranking, it's great to see some people give Revolution a fair chance,
Here my rank for the Valkyria series
1st Valkyria Chronicles
2nd Valkyria Revolution
3rd Valkyria Chronicles 2
4th Valkyria Chronicles 4
haven't gotten the honor to play 3 yet :(
I don't understand how anyone can like the psp games better than 4, or 1. having to navigate through a bunch of tiny repetitive maps is for each mission is so tedious, and it really make the game feel small scale. Even if the story is better, having to play on those pathetic little battlefields takes a lot of the fun out of the game.
you could make the arguement that they are more tactical, but in a boring and grindy way.
For me VC3 had the best plots (multiple endings) but I agree with most of your list. Also VC4 is so sad. :'( I'm so sorry Raz...
I consider E2 version of that game to be the better game as it adds way more missions and fleshes out some characters.
Hmm. i notice the guitar in your background. Is the intro music your own playing?
As a guitarist and musician of two decades myself, I can tell whoever is playing in that intro that they should really learn how to play with some vibrato. It makes guitar playing rise above the sound of flat electric guitar samples. As is, your intro music kind of sounds like amateur power metal that may or not have been programmed using virtual instruments. It's got that sterile feel. Vibrato adds a very human element. It's worth developing. Can't help commenting about this as a passionate death metal player.
The sad part of VC 4 is (aside from raz part in VC4) sega don't give us a chance to use valkyria (we can use them for postgame only). I hope for the next VC game sega make valkyria as a protagonist :)
Great video, I hope they make Valkyria Chronicles 5 soon
And with title that called somelike "Veteran's Chronicles"
Gameplay with older protagonist and some buff thanks to their experiece in war. Just my opinion btw.
I probably would have ranked it like
5: revolution
4: 3
3: 2
2: 4
1: 1
Didn't know 3 and 4 were out for psp, just played vc2 and loved it, gonna search for them, thanks
You placed revolution above 2? Lmao
Valkryia 1s gameplay kinda gets trumped by all the other ones. I just didnt like how Valkyria one basically just devolves into Alica running and skipping almost all levels as the most efficent way to play.
