Two New Videos for Valkyria Revolution

^ I agree, but I think it was when Western RPGS became a thing and the media wanted a way to separate the two. I've played these games since the NES days, and never used the term until the PS2 was out.

Either way, there is a huge disconnect with Microsoft and Japan so this is a huge win for me.

Wasn't too big of a fan of the first Valkyria Chronicles, the story was great but I wasn't much a fan of the gameplay; you had a huge diversity of classes but it felt like, especially in the later levels, you had to finish the level a certain way.

However this definitely looks like a fresh take, and the combat looks to be different, so looking forward to.. the eventual localisation.

I wouldn't call it a sequel either, it's like saying Halo Wars is the sequel to Halo CE. Valkyria II, while on a handheld, was the successor to the original, in both story and name.

Blue n Gold Eel said:Back when I was gaming on the Nintendo and SNES it was always just "RPG's" for me as well. But my PC Master Race associates were always quick to point out that something like Dragon Warrior or Final Fantasy was very different from the RPG's they got on PC which were mostly western RPGs, like Ultima and eventually Elder Scrolls. So I'm assuming it grew out of that.
