I'd buy it first day but its a psp game, and i use my psp for everything besides playing ''PSP'' games. Also i think i lost my psp.., if there is a special edition for this game i may consider rebuying a psp.Valkyria Chronicles 2 debuting with 94,4 ...
Crap, I was afraid of thisWith Sega threatening fans of the series I had hoped the region that bought the first installment the most would show up when the second was released, instead they stayed home.To not even pull in half of the audience of the first one is bad news, now there's two reasons1. There's just not enough support for the title and that's too bad because it's great2. People were turned off by Sega's threats over the past year and have decided to move onEither way this is very bad news for fans of the franchiseI just hope Sega doesn't think twice about releasing it globallyWho knows, maybe there's hope and the second week will see an upswing, if it follows the same path as it's predecessor I don't see Sega keeping it alive
I haven't even played VC 1 yet but I have it in my collection, I know I'm naughtly lol.
i bought PSP just for this game
I'm pretty excited for this game. Of course I'd rather have the sequel on the PS3, but I'm such a huge fan of the series I'll play it on anything. I should buy an import copy to support the game. Easy enough for me to get it.
Not buying it, it looks like sh*te from what I've seen of it, plus I'll have to pay a ton of money to import it.

I'd wait for the US version, which is going to be released on June.
I've played the demo, I still need to finish the first game before picking up the sequel.
I'll probably get it.
I really loved the first one for a while. The gameplay was interesting (if a bit glacial in pace), and the the art and anime-style storytelling was nice... but the characters didn't flesh out much, and the the story didn't go anywhere interesting... it was like watching a really slow and boring anime. I hope this one has a better story and characters... or at least ones that aren't just a collection of anime cliché–Ÿ.
From examiner.comValkyria Chronicles is one of the best exclusive games on the Playstation 3. For that reason, many fans were upset when Sega announced that the sequel will be a PSP exclusive. So how did Valkyria Chronicles 2 end up fairing against the first game in terms of sales? Here is the first-week sales data in Japan for both titles according to Media Create: Valkyria Chronicles PS3 - 77,267 copies sold
Valkyria Chronicles 2 PSP - 94,444 copies sold Keep in mind that Media Create only tracks retail sales, so the Valkyria Chronicles 2 data does not include digital copies bought and downloaded from the Playstation Store. It should also be noted that Valkyria Chronicles was released early on the lifespan of the Playstation 3 while Valkyria Chronicles 2 launched on the more numerous PSP system (at least in Japan). Furthermore, the sequel also benefited from the brand establishment the first title didn't have. Valkyria Chronicles 2 is slated for a summer release in North America.
I'm gonna go on a wild hunch and say that demo isn't in english is it?
[QUOTE=''jrhawk42'']I'm gonna go on a wild hunch and say that demo isn't in english is it?[/QUOTE]Nope, not in English. If you are familiar with the PS3 version though you'll have no problem navigating through the demo. It's pretty simple to figure out.
Looking at their sale in the first week, nothing great compare to FF XIII.
No wonder SEGA always makes a fuss about not shipping their games to another region. Yakuza games are one of the best selling games in Japan but its sale here is just awful. :(

It looks like some freshman designer took ingame cutscenes and put it on the cover.

I know, WTF the japanese verison looks like a BAMF. U.S verison looks like they took a jepg from the demo and attached it to a microsoft word document.
I bought a copy a couple days ago and the game is quite awesome. Plays just like its PS3 predeccesor, but just on a smaller scale. Maps have to be broken into smaller areas.
