Oh God, SEGA stop the brown war games! Check out the cover art for the Valkyria Chronicles 3 soundtrack, so mainstream! I’m being sarcastic, it looks great.
You will be able to buy (and by buy, we mean import) your copy on February 23rd for ¥3,045. The soundtrack will span 2 discs and include 37 well-crafted tunes. Check out the product page here.

Here are four new trailers for Valkyria Chronicles 3, each trailer highlights one of the three groups in the conflict. The East European Imperial Alliance (the bad guys), The Principality of Gallia (The good guys) and in the trailer you see above The Nameless. (The group you will be playing as in VC3)
The fourth trailer details some of the features you will get to use in the nameless barracks such as tank building and weapon modifying.
In my opinion this one looks like the best game in the series yet, far better then Valkyria Chronicles 2 at least.
Hit the Jump for the other three.
So we posted awhile back how Valkyria Chronicles was going to get 2 OVAs. Well now we are getting all the details. The OVAs will be called “Senjo no Valkyria 3 Tagatame no Juusou” and will be done by A-1 pictures. Nobuhiro Kondo will be the director and Hiroshi Onogi will handle the script.
Not detailed yet, but SEGA is saying there will be some sort of connectivity between the anime and gam. In the official site, game producer Shinji Motoyama said he would like it to be downloadable content.
The videos will be releasing in Sprint 2011, PSN video store will have first dibs.

Andriasang has posted up new Valkyria Chronicles 3 videos with well typed out descriptions of each video. I’m really tired, so instead of making you read my broken grammar, I will just be quoting the expertly typed out descriptions by Andriasang.
This first video is basically an overview of everything:
First we have Valerie on the left, she is known as No. 12. If you didn’t know, all Nameless Squad members are given numbers, thus the name of the squad being ‘Nameless’. She used to be a historian and was doing research about the truths of the Darcsen Calamity and tried to trespass historical ruins. Now she is in the Nameless squad.
On the right we have Felix, known as No.21. He has the over protective big brother attitude, you probably seen many anime characters like that. He has leadship abilities and a strong passion for justice. He used to be in a proper army but when he filed a complaint against a commanding officer he was shipped off to the Nameless squad.
Check out the source link for more stuff like information on special abilities and weapons.

Valkyria Chronicles 3 intro video, you know, the one that plays when you forget to press a button while starting a game, is a bit depressive. I think its because the song playing is sad sounding. It basically sounds like the Japanese female version of Morrissey.
God damn it, SEGA! You best be bringing this game West. I don’t even care if it isn’t on PS3, I just need more Valkyria Chronicles.

SEGA has already announced the collectors edition for their next installment in their Valkyria Chronicles series. It seems to come with a shot glass because if there is any game that makes me want to get wasted, its Valkyria Chronicles. What else does this edition come with?
How much will this run you? 8,479 yen (about $100 bucks). But hey, its worth it, no? If you pre-order either version (collectors or regular) you will be able to get extras too, like the Gallia Secret Document file 422 book, which tells the story of Kurt’s first battle and a DLC code that unlocks Alias from VC2.

Lots of drama, zero gameplay. But how can I whine about this? At least SEGA of Japan actually advertises their in-house games (not made by Sonic Team) with TV ads. SEGA West, follow their leads.
The commercial features the May’n song that will be the main song for the game. SEGA also released a new video, introducing us to a new character from the game. He is called Kurt. Well, not really new, I he was outlined in the Famitsu reveal.

SEGA held a press conference for Valkyria Chronicles 3, they teased this press conference last week. So what did we find out? First thing that was shown was the game’s theme song. It is called ” Moshimo Kimi ga Negau no Nara” and it is by pop star May’n. I guess the song will be the first single for her 2nd upcoming album, which will hit store shelves on February 23rd.
SEGA also said they are working on a two volume VC3 OVA (original video animation). The planned animation videos will feature the voice cast from the game and is set to be released next Spring. They will be available first on the Playstation Store.
SEGA also teamed up with Good Smile Company to make Nendoroid figures of female characters, Riela and Imuka.

Here is the announcement trailer for Valkyria Chronicles 3, now with English subtitles provided by fans.
Not a lot more to say about this, but it is nice to know what they are blabbering about for a change, isn’t it?
The Japanese demo for Valkyria Chronicles 3 is coming out on November 9th on PSN and then you can download it via the official site on November 11th. Reserve 160 mbs for the demo. The demo will be 2 missions, including a tutorial and be fully voiced. If you beat the demo, you will get a special wepeon when you buy the full game come Janurary 27th.
For the demo, SEGA held a Q&A for the developers to answer questions. One of the questions that came up was if the developers ever plan on developing on the Playstation 3 again.
Above is the official box art for Valkyria Chronicles 3 in Japan. The game is set to release on January 27, 2011. No Western release dates have been announced.
Here is the official site, which has interviews and other goodies. It is easier to navigate if it was in English, but it would have been even better if SEGA West gave us a release date on this.

The demo will be coming, but only the Japanese version. Luckily I pretend to know Japanese so everything will play out just fine. The demo being released for the game will continue the story of the TGS demo, which we never played. The demo will include two missions, one has you retake a mountain base. Those that are getting the Japanese version will unlock special bonuses from playing the demo.
Date for the demo has not been given.Valkyria Chronicles 3 will be hitting PSP spring of next year. Now where is that western release date?

Don’t worry, there is still news to come. We will be stalking the internet trying to get all the Phantasy Star Online 2 information we can. As you can tell, I’m are most excited for this title. Best TGS in a long time?
This is an extended version of the trailer I posted yesterday. I personally like this trailer much better then the other one. You get a better idea of the story and it just overall seems to have more meaning to it.
If you want to see the gameplay footage then are you going to need to hit the jump. I personally am very hyped for this game now.
