Anime fans, generally speaking, really like Valkyria Chronicles. And why shouldn't we? It features one of our top voice actresses (the scrumptious Marina Inoue as Alicia), animated cut scenes, and of course, a top-notch anime adaptation by A-1 Pictures. And now word is that the game will see a sequel.It's interesting that a sequel was announced considering all the whining about how it didn't sell as well as Sega hoped-- I guess it sold well enough, at least. The sequel will take place two years after the original in Gallia, which is worn out from the war in the first game. A rebel organization, the Gallia Revolutionary Army, is threatening an ethnic minority in the south part of the nation, and the government is forced to activate studying cadets into the army.One of these cadets is our new hero, Avan Hardence. The game will feature a similar battle system, although much of the story will also take place around Hardence's school, which might be interesting. 1UP suggests that we might see a “school life simulator” built into the game, but as far as I can tell that's pure speculation at the moment.Interesting stuff! Will you pick up the PSP sequel?
