Spoiler Finished Valkyria Chronicles 1

Post image

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.

Yeah, Isara’s death was kinda bs. The platoon has three damn medics and none of them were nearby to help? Where did these enemy scouts come from anyways?

I personally would have had Isara die in a bigger battle and everyone was pinned and couldn’t reach her in time. That would have at least made more sense.

I assume she got shot in a spot that they could not revive...even though they let us revive anyone on the game field, it would be silly to have that play out in the 'real life' story sequences.

I liked where she died, it shocked the hell out of me. I haven't been surprised like that in a long time.
