To think that I wasn't even considering of even THINKING about getting a PSP, then Sega put this one out, and, like a cat with a brain problem, curiosity plagued my being and doomed me to chase after this game. I did not regret my decision. With only a few days until I return to college, I had to start this LP on the right foot.

I was -DREADING- the fact that Sega would fuck this up and be unable to capture a fraction of the magic from the first game, but THANK CHRIST I was wrong. Sega did everything they could to make this game not suck.

Valkyria Chronicles II is the proud sequel to the PS3 hit Valkyria Chronicles, still being a robust S-RPG/shooter hybrid with MANY improvements to the game's core flow. Two years have passed since Welkin Gunther promptly kicked the ass of Maximillian and freed Gallia from Imperial tyranny in Europa. You now follow Avan Hardins, a young man living the normal life in Mellvere, a village in Gallia, when he hears from Lanseal Academy instructor Hubert Brixham that his brother has been declared KIA. This sudden news propels Avan to enlist in Lanseal to find out more about his brother. What happens embroils Avan into a serious mess.

By all regards this game is far superior than the first game, but I still like the first game better, due to sentimentality attached. Oh, well, you'll enjoy it, right?

In this episode, I begin the game. Avan hears from Brixham that his brother, Leon Hardins, has died in the line of duty. Avan disbelieves it, however, as he knows that Leon wouldn't go down without a fight. Before he can grasp a good feel of the scenario, Mellvere comes under fire! Avan is on the scene!

The opening mission functions just like VC1's; meant to get you accustomed to the gameplay. There are many changes, both subtle and stark, to the core gameplay, but I'll let you guys see that for yourselves as Avan gets an A Rank!

After the fight, Avan asks Brixham if he can apply to Lanseal to learn more about Leon's situation. He allows him and the stage has been set for epic.

I hope...
