This August, Senjou no Varukyria (to be called Valkyria Chronicles in America) will get its first pieces of downloadable content. The first content update adds a degree of difficulty one notch above the already feared Hard Mode, for 300 yen. For 600 yen, players can purchase two new scenarios featuring certain subcharacters, lead by infantry solider Eadie (assuming that’s how they’ll Romanize “I-i-de-i”).

Sega Of America not touching Valkyria Chronicles glitch

By Heath | June 26, 2008 at 11:38 pm

Valkyria Chronicles, which was known as Senjou no Varukyria (Valkyrie of the Battlefield) in Japan, has a well-documented glitch. I was prompted to search for info on this after I became a victim of it. After clearing the story battle in chapter 10, the game froze, giving me just a black screen to stare at. Unable to reset or any other such thing, the only option was to turn off the system. Finding this strange, I took to the internet, and found out I was definitely not alone. This has happened to plenty of people, for no apparent reason; and when it strikes, trying to clear the battle from a mid-battle save is not sufficient, as the glitch will strike again. One must re-enter the potentially very long, tricky battle from the beginning. Wondering if this would be fixed in time for the North American release, I contacted an overall indifferent Sega of America about the matter.
