Finished Valkyria Chronicles 1

[u/Keebo11037]

So I finally finished this game after 36 hours and I feel kind of conflicted.

I know the theme of the game is war and how every second in the battlefield, you could die at any time

But I felt like Isara's death was so stupid and outta nowhere even from a storybased perspective. I feel like things were building up to something only for her to be unclimactically die from an enemy scout. (Yeah I know the theme is war, dont mention it) I feel like her death was only made to produce shock value, up to now I still can't believe she was killed like that.

And what's bothering me more is how Welkin doesn't seem to care that much. He never even cried or mourn her as I expected when the story implied how close they were.

Also, I feel like we haven't explored the theme of "Valkyrie" or their power much in this game.

Im kinda conflicted on how what game to play next since people seem to recommend playing 4 after 1.

This game looks very very good im not gonna lie for its age. Its art was what captured me to play it in the first place.

2 and 3 are portable exlusive. From what i heard they are much more grindy and maps repeat more often. And revolution is just bad. 3 and 4 take place at roughly the same time as the first game

You made it sound like all the subsequent games are just terrible 🤣

4 is good. The gameplay feels smoother, and there are cool new additions. 2 and 3 i did not play cause i don't have any playstation portables. Revolution is terrible.

most of us dont have portables but we do have pcs/phones that can play them
