How to Valkyria Chronicles 3 in English:

First get ppsspp to emulate.
Then find a iso of Valkyria Chronicles 3 Extra Eddition
Then patch with this:
vc3translationproject DOT wordpress.com/
Alternatively, you can find prepatched isos if you google.

It's best played with a controller, ppsspp only has keyboard support.

Visual Improvements:
Here's a video and some settings to improve the visuals a bit:

>I've already got the ISOs, but how do I use those codes?
Start the emulator, go into settings and under system turn on cheats.
Next start the game you want to modify, press esc and select cheats from the right menu. Next select edit cheat file and copy and paste all the codes in there. Save the file and close it. Next select cheats again; if you did it right the cheats will appear as a list of options.

>why are you spoonfeeding?
More people actually playing 3 instead of looking at that one image and screaming "WEABOO EDGY" can only bring more positive things to the valkyria chronicles discussions in the next couple of weeks.

can I play it on a psp?

If you have a way to load emulation software or isos onto your psp, sure. But the visual improvements and 60 fps codes will not work, just the base game with english patch.

...

They still not bothered translated the quests or images or whatever was left?

Does one finally address the Darcsen question in this game?

Now make another one with that picture where is shown she has huge tits.

There is only one solution. The final solution.

How much of a downgrade is the Switch version going to be?
I don't have the other consoles but I really want this game and Sega shits on PC yet again.

these would be inoffensive basic bitch settings if not for
>post processing
>texture upscaling
>linear on FMV
now they're shameful.

>no pc
nobody cares

the translation patch was pushed out the door because the team was the verge of imploding or something, pretty sure they've dead since

Well that's kind of annoying

LOOK AT THESE STUPID CAT EARS REEEEE

How do you like your Alicia?

What is she like without the top cloth

We're not. SEGA are the bad guys. Look what they've done and are still doing to this franchise.

...

>not pointed at the end
>not going higher than the height of the actual cap
>doesn't have a literal pink inner ear part

just because they are based on something doesn't magically stop them being a shitty trope that nips need to get the fuck over already

>i posted it again mom!

After Valkyria Revolution, fuck SEGA.

Who will wield the Ruhm in VC4?

Riela still best Valkyur

>that fucking lore

this game is /k/'s nightmare

So I'm just playing VC1 now, on like the third mission or so, the one after you find the tank. Man it's easy to die in this game, I've GAME OVER-ed three or four times in this mission. One time the emotional impact of Alicia biting it was ruined when her corpse ragdolled through the air like an acrobat, I laughed for like a minute straight.

It seems random whether my dudes will duck down when they're fired at and behind cover. Also grenades don't seem to do anything to tanks? I tried positioning Alicia behind the tank and chucking one at the big blue weakspot but it only seemed to damage the tracks. Do I really just have to sit and wait behind the sandbags right at the start because moving to the ones across the road got me killed and since there's no way of defeating the tank do I have to wait a certain number of turns to wait for Eidelweiss to show up?

>ppsspp only has keyboard support
wut
You can use a controller with PPSSPP

she likes em' long

blow up the sandbags on the other side of the street, then position your scouts behind the sandbags in the fort, all soldier should die to interception fire.

The game told you there is no way to kill the tank and you need to wait for the Edelweiss, pay attention because this is going to be a common thing for the rest of the game where if you dont read every and take it in you have no chance of winning

Grenades are shit against tanks, it shows a triangle on the effectiveness chart next to armor which means it's ineffective.

T. guy who just got to mission 4

You do have to wait for the Edelweiss to show up at I believe turn 3, yes; that early in the game it's the only thing that can actually compete against the tank. When I played I left the town watch where they were and sent Alicia up the hill; it allowed me to kill a captain and grenade the group of soldiers hunkering down at the sandbags.

Man I fucking wish this game didn't only factor turn count for ranks. All it does is promote scout-rushing. Hopefully VC4 doesn't do the same thing.

They made some changes in the sequels, although turn count is still real important.

>people shill the rebalance mod constantly
>try it out and so far isnt too bad, make it to chapter 4 after the tank turns into a sub
>get halfway through the map and the tank gets fucking two shotted instantly on the enemy turn by the two remaining tanks

why the fuck is the tank so god damn fragile with this, who thought this was a good idea

IMO that mod goes too far and fucks with things it shouldn't. A simple mod to reduce scout damage and nerf orders slightly would have sufficed.

Yeah, I hate this stage score system. It works for action games a lot better than TRPGs. Instead stages should have hidden objectives or someshit. Like in SRW or SDGGG for example.

That's good to hear. I'll give VC3 a try and see the changes myself.

OK, I'll try that. I'm kinda getting the feeling from this game that I got from Advance Wars, namely that I'm going to struggle a lot.

Is this the kind of game where only one good strategy will pay off and sub-optimal play is punished, or does it have more flexibility with regards to fucking up a lot? I remember I gave up on Dual Strike after reaching a mission where you were going to stop a rocket taking off and it got to the point where I was following a walkthrough and reloading a save over and over trying to get the right result on a combat round.

I suck at this.

>tfw VC3 torrent on nyaa is dead

I'm sure you can find a prepatched DDL rather easily.

Wait, I played Valkyria Chronicles on PC, you mean there were two others? Why haven't I heard of this? Did they suck?

Just get it from nicoblog.

They were on the PSP and no they didn't suck.
VC3 is superior to the first game in many ways. Namely characters, balance, and amount of content.

if you're not too much of a bum to patch it yourself, you can also find the unpatched extra edition on emuparadise

2 is meh.
3 is the best in the series.

you mean the ova? just watch it online

>Is this the kind of game where only one good strategy will pay off and sub-optimal play is punished
You can still complete the game playing with a mix of units and using the tank (most missions will give you 20 turns to complete, which is more than enough time), but it's not the optimal way and therefore you won't get many, if any A ranks.
>does it have more flexibility with regards to fucking up a lot?
Depends; in terms of units you'll get a squad of max 20 people when you get to the capital you can pick and choose from and switch weapons; if any of them fall in battle, you have to get another of your units over to them to call for a medic to safely evacuate them; having an enemy touch them or leaving them for a few turns will cause them to die for the rest of that playthrough (they'll come back New Game +). The only exception are story important characters who just "retreat". You can also call up anyone in your squad to join the battle from a camp as reinforcements, and also retreat certain units from said camps or by using an order and you'll unlock more people to choose from as the story progresses as well. Other things that might fuck you over are enemies ducking your bullets, lucky shots from lancers/tanks/snipers, getting too near to tanks/enemies and eating a ton of interception fire and trying to do everything perfectly for A-ranks (wait for NG+ to bother with A-ranks)

That's odd, why did they go from 1 to 4?

God damn what happened to the art style from the first game? I can accept giant lances shooting ethereal energy but fuck me the weapons and stuff now looks bad.

These "uniforms" look pretty bad. The designs in VC 1 weren't really realistic, but they were atleast distinctive and good-looking. This looks like shit.

@397828909
@397829037
You need to try harder if you want my (You)s.

Same reason Persona started at 3 and FF at 7

These will be the "main" characters. While they do look less uniform than say Largo and Rosie, I still believe the rest of the recruitable squad mates will be in standard uniform.

I don't get it either. Why didn't they just keep it like it was?

"Standard" uniforms still look pretty bad. You can see them in the trailer.

>Did they suck?
Yes. Absolute trash.

Kinda yeah.

Just get good.

Getting hung up on the uniforms looking different is pretty autistic. I think the trailer clearly shows that the tone and style of the game has gone back to where we (VC1 fans) want it. No weeby school shit, no overly edgy faggots with tankbuster swords, yet there are some people who get hung up on the two main girls attire as if it means the game will be shit.

Come on.

>He still grasp the few straws left

...

Clearly secondaries don't deserves this game.

Why are you so triggered lol? Who says I'm hung up on them looking different I just said they look pretty stupid. VC1 fans probably liked that the game didn't look like nippon trash like this one is leaning towards. The school setting isn't much different than "the power of friendship" teenagers wearing anime costumes.

There is always one shitposter who forgets to take his autism pills before comming to one of these threads.

Just ignore him.

On the other hand there is you samefagging about him.

is gfchan a mortar unit?

Dude the characters in VC4 are teenagers too and they dress worse than even VC2 characters.

Not him but I don't remember VC1 being anywhere near as full of heavy handed DRAMA as that trailer implies. The cast are just a bunch of snotty kids and the character designs are way worse. So no, it's not back to that style at all. Yes, at the same time it's also not as terrible as 2, 3 and Azure Revolution but that's not exactly a high bar to jump.

>You can still complete the game playing with a mix of units and using the tank (most missions will give you 20 turns to complete, which is more than enough time), but it's not the optimal way and therefore you won't get many, if any A ranks.

>getting A-ranks

I got a D-rank in the first mission. I doubt I'm ever going to get an A rank to be honest, it'll be a miracle if I finish the game. I just got to the turn where you get the tank, destroyed all the sandbags but the shock troopers still killed Alicia.

>Sniper
>Aloof but kind hearted
>Already lost to Blonde girl in the romance department

That's 3 death flags raised in the first trailer.

>tfw no VC5 with aerial elements like fighters and choppers

where is this from?

Honestly to me VC2 looks less retarded at least from what I played of it. At least them being teenagers made sense since they were still in school. It doesn't make any sense now in this new game. It just looks like everyone is a teenage soldier.

>they dress worse than even VC2 characters.
I know they don't look as good as the first game, but that's a STRONG statement

No. That is not okay. Sick of fucking love triangles and best girls dying.

The second game's uniforms were pretty standard, and their school outfits fit the setting at least. It was still pretty close to the first game. Didn't finish it though.

Is obvious as fuck either blonde or Darcsen friend is gonna die.

Main guy should die. What a twist that would be.

That's because nobody remembers the ridiculously shitty parts of VC1's story. The entire Faldio plot is so retarded and poorly conceived.

Literally nothing wrong the VC2 uniforms

No frikin way the blonde is going to die, they made a promise in the last scene and the MC is a hotblooded Shouen idiot. Darscean could die, but they died twice in the odd numbered games so they might avoid killing him this round.

>implying any of the main four will die
>implying one of the unrevealed characters that were "shown" for the teaser site isnt going to die instead

>IM TURNING INTO A DEMON!
Nah, main guy is obviusly gonna lose someone important. Brunette sniper is crying because she thinks one of the others is dead/isn't gonna come back, so it's either blondie or Darcsen.

I would laugh if it's the doggo who bites it though.

>dog dies
>become a monster

Perfect.

Federation are the good guys. Imperials are power-hungry aggressors. Gallia are selfish assholes.

> they made a promise in the last scene
You could view that scene as a deathflag for either one of them.

You may be right. Can you refresh my memory with a youtube link or something because as poorly handled as that or Isara's death were, I still don't remember Faldio or anyone going WAAAAH I CAN'T LOSE ANYONE ANYMORE I'M ON THE VERGE OF MENTAL BREAKDOWN AND MY LEGS ARE ALL SHAKY WHAT AM I FIGHTING FOOOOOOOR THIS WAR IS TURNING US TURNING US INTO MONSTERS NOOOOOOO AM I GOING TO DIE HERE??? like every second scene in there.

>Federation are the good guys
They're also evil though.

Did we ever get a VC world map?

Yes, the Feds only engage in espionage and subversion for the little county's own good!

...

Bootleg America when

I'm counting on it being the Darcsen and Doggo being killed. The darcsen will sacrifice himself to hold off the enemy after shit goes south later in the game, and the Dog will either be picked off by a sniper to show how heartless the enemy is, or will attack an enemy soldier (most likely a shocktrooper) before they shoot one of the main characters, who will shake the dog off and shoot him before he turns to the character he was going to kill, who shoots a gun they got hold off while the dog distracted the soldier.

Gallia forced their hand by being selfish dicks. The Federation was completely in the right. Gallia wasn't able to defend itself against the Empire, and when the capital fell, the Empire had their superweapons and ragnite. That burden on the world ends up being borne by the Federation. The Federation wanted diplomacy, but Gallia forced their hand by being an easily taken strategic target and refusing help.

You can do sketchy things but still be the good guy.

Is the story in these games good enough to watch a playthrough of? I'm fucking shit at strategy games, but I like a good war story

It's not that hard bro. You can literally rush most objectives.

Nope.

it's better than the anime...
