New details on the 2018-due tactical RPG.

Sega has updated the official website for Valkyria Chronicles 4 with new information on the recently announced tactical RPG.
Get the details below.

? World
The setting is the fictional continent of Europa. Specifically, the entire western region of the largest continent in the northern hemisphere. Since ancient times, many battles for supremacy have been fought in pursuit of the country’s unification.
In the 1800s, the continent of Europa was divided into two major powers in the east and west: the allied nation called the “Autocratic Eastern Imperial Alliance,” which governs the country with an emperor at its center, and the federation of republic states known as the “Atlantic Federation,” which abolished Imperial rule. Eventually, both powers fought over the mineral resource known as “Ragnite.”




In 1935, world affairs steadily worsened, and the Imperial army violated the non-aggression treaty and began advancing onto the Federation. And the greatest war in history, the “Second Europan War,” which engulfed the entire continent of Europa, suddenly commenced.

Claude Wallace, who participated in the war as captain of the Federation army’s Squad E, fought an early battle in the war and struggled to attain victory.




However, three months after the war began, the Federation army, which was repeatedly defeated by the Imperial army’s overwhelming resources ended up in a difficult situation.




After finishing a battle, Claude returned to base and was informed by his superior of a large-scale strategy having begun. It was “Operation Northern Cross,” a major counterattack to raid the empire’s capital city in order to overturn the Federation’s numerical inferiority.






? Characters
Raz (voiced by Kazuya Nakai)

Edinburgh Army 101st Division No. 1 Battle Brigade No. 32 Armored Ranger Battalion Squad E division officer and Assault soldier. His rank is sergeant. He is aggressive and quick to get into fights, and talks with a rough tone. He tends to misunderstand due to his clumsy personality, but he is extremely caring of his friends.




Kai Schulen (voiced by Maaya Sakamoto)

Edinburgh Army 101st Division No. 1 Battle Brigade No. 32 Armored Ranger Battalion Squad E division officer. She is a sniper master sergeant. She is Claude, Raz, and Riley’s childhood friend, and is usually silent and blunt. With the nickname “One Shot Killer,” she is a prodigy sharpshooter whose eyes conceal a strong purpose.
​

Valkyria Chronicles 4 is due out for PlayStation 4 on March 21, 2018 and for Switch in summer 2018 in Japan, and for PlayStation 4, Xbox One, and Switch in 2018 in the Americas and Europe.

[FONT=&quot]Valkyria Chronicles 4 introduces six new characters, Brave system[/FONT]
Published 16 hours ago. 76 comments.

New information in the latest issue of Weekly Famitsu.

​

The latest issue of Weekly Famitsu has new information on Valkyria Chronicles 4, including details on six new characters (including a Valkyria) and a new “Brave” system.


Get the information below. (Editor’s Note: The spelling of names and such are likely to change. I guessed to the best of my ability based on the Japanese.)

? Characters

• Crimaria Lewin (voiced by Yukana) – The Valkyria known as the “Queen of the Snowstorm.” She is the special duty captain of X-0 “Xechs Oule,” which is the Imperial science institution’s special test unit. Because she was forced to live as an experiment at the Valkyria experimental facility, she has a strong inferiority complex. She acts alongside her friend, a wolf named Fenrir.
• Forse (voiced by Kaito Ishikawa) – Tactical commander of the Xechs Oule Imperial military unit that appears countless times before the protagonist and company. His legs are disabled and thus he does not participate directly in battle. He has great confidence in himself and is always composed.
• Berger (voiced by Shou Hayami) – The supervisor of Xechs Oule. He is of noble background and is an executive at the Imperial science institution. He has the authority of an admiral, and Xechs Oule are his chess pieces.
• Kiara Rosina (voiced by Yukiyo Fujii) – A special member of Xechs Oule. She and Nikola Grev were brought up together like sisters at the Imperial research institution. She is assigned the duty of eliminating Berger’s enemies. She has a sadistic personality.
• Nikola Grev (voiced by Naomi Ohzora) – A special member of Xechs Oule. Like Kiara, she acts as Berger’s bodyguard. She is sadistic as well, but unlike Kiara, Nikola is the malicious type.
• Krautz Voltz (voiced by Hiroki Touchi) – The captain of “Ausbruch,” an independent gang of the Imperial army. He is a veteran commander who charges into battle with the strong conviction to “protect the people living in the Empire.” He battles riding a dedicated tank.

? Systems
Brave System
When a soldier in your army is on the verge of death, there is a fixed chance that a new system called “Brave” will be activated. When Brave is activated, you can choose one from two options:

• “Entrust” – Restores one Command Point (CP) and increases the ability of a nearby ally.
• “Rise Up” – Restores one Action Point (AP), and enables you to attack and move only once in an invincible state.

Six Classes

• Scout
• Assault
• Engineer
• Lancer
• Sniper
• Grenadier (New)
  

Valkyria Chronicles 4 is due out for PlayStation 4 on March 21, 2018 and for Switch in summer 2018 in Japan, and for PlayStation 4, Xbox One, and Switch in 2018 in the Americas and Europe.
Thanks, Famitsu, Hachima Kikou, and Ryokutya2089.

Tons of new information and screenshots.

Sega has relaunched the official website for Valkyria Chronicles 4, providing a plethora of information and screenshots on characters, the CANVAS graphics engine, the BLiTZ battle system, and the six character classes.
Get the details below.​

? World

Prologue
The setting is the fictional continent of Europa. Specifically, the entire western region of the largest continent in the northern hemisphere. Since ancient times, many battles for supremacy have been fought in pursuit of the country’s unification.
In the 1800s, the continent of Europa was divided into two major powers in the east and west: the allied nation called the “Autocratic Eastern Imperial Alliance,” which governs the country with an emperor at its center, and the federation of republic states known as the “Atlantic Federation,” which abolished Imperial rule. Eventually, both powers fought over the mineral resource known as “Ragnite.”
In 1935, world affairs steadily worsened, and the Imperial army violated the non-aggression treaty and began advancing onto the Federation. And the greatest war in history, the “Second Europan War,” which engulfed the entire continent of Europa, suddenly commenced.

Valkyria Chronicles 4
Claude Wallace, who participated in the war as captain of the Federation army’s Squad E, fought an early battle in the war and struggled to attain victory.
However, three months after the war began, the Federation army, which was repeatedly defeated by the Imperial army’s overwhelming resources ended up in a difficult situation.
After finishing a battle, Claude returned to base and was informed by his superior of a large-scale strategy having begun. It was “Operation Northern Cross,” a major counterattack to raid the empire’s capital city in order to overturn the Federation’s numerical inferiority.


? Characters
? Edinburgh Army 101st Division No. 1
Claude Wallace (voiced by Ryousuke Kanemoto)

Edinburgh Army 101st Division No. 1 Battle Brigade No. 32 Armored Ranger Battalion Squad E squad leader and tanker. A first lieutenant. He is a serious, passionate, and caring commanding officer. He is a talented individual who graduated at the top of his class at Edinburgh Military Academy. He has no military shortcomings, and in addition to military skills, he has an animalistic intuition in regard to the weather and climate. His “Revelation of the Wind,” a perfect guess of the change in weather from a few minutes to several days later, often ends any stalemate. He has a strong determination to accomplish his objective, and even in the face of a difficult mission, inspires his comrades with his fiery determination.

Riley Miller (voiced by Nao Touyama)

A member of the Edinburgh Army 101st Division No. 1 Battle Brigade No. 32 Armored Ranger Batallion’s Heavy Weapons Support Team and a grenadier. A second lieutenant technician with great scientific ability, who is prideful and has great confidence in herself, and is a genius in Ragnite engineering. She specializes in mental arithmetic and physical calculation, and thus exhibits talent in ballistic calculation as a gunner. She and Claude are childhood friends, but it seems that something that occurred in the past, as they are currently not on speaking terms. Before the war, her Ragnite engineering talent enabled her to skip a grade and advance to the University of the United States of Vinland. She is positive and cheerful, and ambitious in that she pushes forward without fear of failure.


Raz (voiced by Kazuya Nakai)

Edinburgh Army 101st Division No. 1 Battle Brigade No. 32 Armored Ranger Battalion Squad E division officer and Assault soldier. His rank is sergeant. He is aggressive and quick to get into fights, and talks with a rough tone. Since his people, the Darcsen, once devastated the continent, they are still persecuted to this day and do not have surnames. His physical ability is very high, to the point where he calls himself “Immortal Raz,” and both his physical strength and agile nature make him incredibly efficient as a soldier. He tends to be misunderstood due to his clumsy personality, but he is extremely caring of his friends.

Kai Schulen (voiced by Maaya Sakamoto)

Edinburgh Army 101st Division No. 1 Battle Brigade No. 32 Armored Ranger Battalion Squad E division officer. She is a sniper master sergeant. She is Claude, Raz, and Riley’s childhood friend, and is usually silent and blunt. With the nickname “One Shot Killer,” she is a prodigy sharpshooter whose eyes conceal a strong purpose. Also, her physical strength is second to none when compared to a common soldier. While she may sound mannish and curt when she speaks, she is actually very mature and kind. She loves fresh-made bread.
? Imperial Army
Crymaria Levinc (voiced by Yukana)

A member of the Imperial Science Institute’s special test unit, “X-0.” A special duty captain, she is a Valkyria who possesses miraculous ability, and can even has the power to destroy a tank with a single blow. She was forced to live as an experimental body and was unable to build up normal human relations, so she does not like to associate with others. She appears cold, cruel, and silent, but given that she was at the Valkyria Experimental Facility up until just before she was assigned to X-0, she is mentally immature and ends up revealing her emotions. While there are some who treated her as a normal human after escaping her life as an experimental body, her long stay at the Experimental Facility caused her to developer a strong inferiority complex, and as a result she seeks out the warmth of others. She is also a being of legend on the battlefield revered as “Witch of the Snowstorm” for the way she enters and leaves the battlefield with a snowstorm. She is accompanied by a wolf named Fenrir, who is a friend from her time at the Experimental Facility.




Klaus Walz (voiced by Hiroki Touchi)


The commanding officer of the Imperial Army’s independent gang known by the name “Ausbruch.” He is a lieutenant colonel. He is OK with anything as long as it interests him and does not bother with trivial matters, but will fixate on important things and hunches to the very end. In that sense, he will obediently follow his brimming curiosity. Because he believes in his own intuition and keen nose to make quick decisions and take action, he makes mistakes from time to time and tends to jump to conclusions, but that is also the reason for his great success and one of his personal charms. Since he lost his mother at a young age and grew up under the protection of the townspeople, he fights with the strong desire to protect the people living in the Empire, as well as a strong conviction to protect his homeland. He relentlessly pursues Squad E, which he calls “Femme Fatale.”

Forseti (voiced by Kaito Ishikawa)

A special duty captain among the tactical officers in the Imperial Science Institute’s special test unit, X-0. He is a man with great confidence in himself, who is always calm and has a strong spirit that does not frighten. He judges all matters and takes action with a cool and dry attitude, but if his opponent exceeds his expectations or the like, he rides that emotion and loses sight of his surroundings. He always thinks he is right and has a strong determination to see things through. Due to a leg injury, he cannot participate directly in battle, but Belgar, who acknowledges Forseti’s talents and invited him to join X-0, he acknowledges Forseti as someone with clever and rational ideas that remind him of himself.




Belgar (voiced by Shou Hayami)


Supervisor of the Imperial Science Institute’s special test unit, X-0. He is the top executive at the Imperial Science Institute, which develops various heavy weapons according to the Empire’s requests. As a noble from a country annexed by the Empire, he has no feelings of patriotism for the Empire, but has had interest in science and technology since childhood. He procures funds from the Empire in order to acquire that technological strength for the military and continue his own studies. He both a natural politician and stubborn, and established a position in the military and gained fame in order to help his family name. He has the authority of an admiral, and with X-0 as the chess pieces under his direct control, he does whatever he desires on the battlefield.


Nikola Graf (voiced by Naomi Ohzora)

A special group member of the Imperial Science Institute’s special test unit, X-0. Like Chiara, she works under Belgar and was raised alongside Chiara like a sister in the Imperial Research Institution from a very young age. As a bodyguard under Belgar’s direct control, she is assigned the duty of eliminating Belgar’s enemies. Because her body has been strengthened through repeated “adjustments,” her spirit is partly broken and she lacks a humanistic way of thinking. She is sadist who loves to torment others, but is the malicious type who likes to drive the enemy into a corner mentally rather than through direct violence.

Chiara Rocino (voiced by Yuikiyo Fujii)

A special group member of the Imperial Science Institute’s special test unit, X-0. She was raised alongside Nikola like sisters in the Imperial Research Institute overseen by Belgar. She is obedient to Belgar and will abide by any command, but given that Belgar is both someone she owes her life to and a “father,” she only considers it natural. Also, harsh “adjustments” await for when she does not abide by his commands. She has a strong desire to be recognized by Belgar, who she calls her “father,” and not be cast aside, and often acts selfishly. Like Nikola, she loves to torment others, but unlike Nikola, Chiara does so with straightforward and relentless physical violence.

? Systems
? CANVAS Graphics Engine
The CANVAS Graphics Engine, through which hand-painted watercolor illustrations come to life, has evolved in pursuit of an even greater hand-painted impression, higher density, and a warm, detailed expression. Players will be invited to a story that plays out in a unique game world where there is discrepancy in contour lines, extruding color, shadows depicted with oblique lines, sound effects where text appears on the screen, and more.






? BLiTZ Battle System
The “BLiTZ” battle system, which blends strategy and action, has carried out various evolutions including the series’ largest maps, a higher number of units, new classes, and more. Actively move the characters on the field with a heightened sense of reality from the addition of counterattacks when under fire, and repel the enemy force while running about in real-time.
01. Book Mode
By selecting an “Episode” written in the notebook, you will read and progress the story. By selecting an episode with a “NEW” icon attached to it, you can read the next episode. Also, by selecting an episode with a map, you can begin a battle episode.
02. Briefing
By selecting a battle episode in Book Mode, you will move to the Briefing Screen before going into battle. On the Briefings screen, the strategic details of the battle are explained. From there, you can decide which characters to send into battle, as well as determine their starting positions.
03. Command Mode

When you start the battle, the terrain and position of enemy characters are displayed on the screen. This screen is called “Command Mode.” When it is the enemy’s turn, you will first enter Command Mode and can get a full view of the current situation on the map and the positions of the enemy units. Choose which characters you want to take action while monitoring the terrain and enemy’s position.
One CP is consumed when one character moves. When your CP becomes zero, it switches over to the enemy’s turn. The enemy also has CP, which is uses to move. When the enemy’s turn ends and it becomes an ally’s turn again, you will recover a fixed amount of CP.




What is CP?: CP stands for Command Points, which are a value that indicate the power to command your force. The player can move their ally characters based on the number of Command Points available.
04. Action Mode

By choosing a character in Command Mode, it switches over to “Action Mode” in order to move that character. In Action Mode, you can freely move the character using the d-pad or left joystick. Only the characters designated in Command Mode can be moved during Action Mode. The enemies and allies outside of those designated during Command Mode are essentially immobile.


By pressing the R1 button during Action Mode, the screen will switch to “Target Mode.” By switching to this screen, you can align your shot to attack the enemy. Even if the attack ends, remain on alert as the targeted enemy will counterattack if he was not killed! It should be noted that you can only attack once for a single action.

What is AP?: AP are Action Points, which determine a character’s ability to take action. The player can only move characters in proportion to the amount of AP available. (Your AP bar will decrease as you move.) If you detect an enemy, you can ready your gun to attack.
Battle Memo
—Regarding aiming and weaknesses
The outer circle displayed in your sights when attacking indicates that bullets will be shot within it. Aim for an enemy within the circle. If a bullet hits a weak point, such as a soldier’s head, you can deal great damage. Being that the number of shots is indicated at the top of the screen, whether the enemy can be defeated is indicated under “To Kill,” so aim skillfully in order to defeat the enemy.
—Moving to the enemy front opens you up to a counterattack
By moving in front of the enemy on the map, even if it is your turn you will be greeted with a violent counterattack. Additionally, in Valkyria Chronicles 4 if you detect an enemy you can counterattack by the new “Grenadier” class tossing a grenade. Grenade-based attacks can also be done from positions that are not directly visible, so be on the lookout.
05. Recovery and Ragnaid




Each turn, soldier characters will recover a fixed amount of HP. However, in situations such as when you have been dealt a great amoutn of damage, it may be dangerous not to recover immediately. In those situations, you can use the “Ragnaid” possessed by the soldier character to recover. Engineer characters possess a “Rebirth Ragnaid” that is expected to have an even greater effect.
06. The Verge of Death, Death, and Medics

When you take damage from enemy attacks and your HP becomes zero, that character will enter the “verge of death” state. A character in the verge of death state is unable to take any action. Furthermore, if they are left as is for three turns, or if an enemy comes into contact with them, they will become “dead” and can never be used again (with the exception of some characters).
In order to defend against “death,” it is necessary for an ally character to make contact with and rescue a character in the verge of death state. By rescuing them, a medic will appear and retreat with the dying character to the back. The withdrawn character can be introduced back into the battle from the next turn.
07. Brave [New System]




Among the new actions in Valkyria Chronicles 4 is the “Brave” system. When a character enters the verge of death stage as a result of the enemy’s attack, their dauntless fighting spirit will rise and a situation will arise where you can take one final action, which is called a Brave.
There are two types of final actions—“Rise Up” (a counterattack on the enemy’s turn) and “Entrust”—from which you can choose between while a timer is displayed on the screen.
If you choose “Rise Up,” you can become invincible for a fixed period of time (for one AP Gauge) and take one action. If you choose “Entrust,” an ability of the most nearby ally will rise, and you will recover one CP. The ability that rises depends on the class of the unit on the verge of death. Choose an action based on the situation to carry out that character’s dying wish.
08. Base

On the battlefield is a location known as your “base,” where you can receive various benefits. Allies within the vicinity of the base will have their defense power, and HP and ammunition recovered per turn increase. Also, standby characters and withdrawn characters can be summoned as reinforcements. You can occupy an enemy base by approaching their flag after defeating all of the enemies defending it. There are both “main bases” and “standard bases.” Battles are won by occupying the main base.

Level up classes, not individual soldiers.






The latest issue of Weekly Famitsu introduces four new characters set to appear in Valkyria Chronicles 4.
The new characters include:

• Angelica Farnaby (voiced by Ayane Sakura) – A civilian girl who lost her memories. She is cheerful, selfless, and kind, and gains sudden popularity among the soldiers. There is also a scene where she confronts the “Witch of the Snowstorm.”
• Karen Stewart (voiced by Yuka Saitou) – A gentle medic. Since she was raised in an all-male household, she is skilled in the treatment of men.
• Ragnarok – The medical dog.
• Minerva Victor (voiced by Saori Hayami) – The commanding officer of Squad F. She values the spirit of chivalry, and is both sociable and calm with her squad mates.

Outside of characters, the magazine has a couple of additional details:

• There are levels for classes, not individual soldiers. Classes can be leveled up by allotting the experience points obtained in training camp. When a class reaches a certain level, it will be able to advance to a higher class.
• The “Joint Operation with Squad 7” downloadable content included with the PlayStation 4 version limited edition in Japan sees players take on a mission together with Valkyria Chronicles 1 protagonist Welkin Gunther and Squad 7 of the Gallian Militia.

Valkyria Chronicles 4 is due out for PlayStation 4 on March 21, 2018 and for Switch in summer 2018 in Japan, and for PlayStation 4, Xbox One, and Switch in 2018 in the Americas and Europe.

Valkyria Chronicles 4 details Angelica, Minerva, Karen, and Ragnarok, Training Grounds, Operation Room, Orders and Potentials
Published 1 day ago. 58 comments.

Ragnarok is just looking out for the rookies.

Sega has updated the official website for Valkyria Chronicles 4 with new information and screenshots on characters Angelica, Minerva, Karen, and Ragnarok, as well as the Training Grounds, Operation Room, and Order and Potential systems.
Get the details below.​

? Characters

? Edinburgh Army 101st Division No. 1
Angelica Farnaby (voiced by Ayane Sakura)

An energetic and brave civilian girl who finds her way into Squad E. When they found her, she could not remember anything except her name. Much about her is unknown, including the events that led to her involvement with Squad E. Rather than have a child-like selfishness, she is a kind-hearted character who cares about those around her. She is offered protection under the care of the military physician, but proposes to help by taking care of meals, laundry, cleaning, and so on. Her cheerful personality has also made her popular among the helper soldiers, who nicknamed her “Ange.”




Minerva Victor (voiced by Saori Hayami)


Army 101st Division No. 1 Battle Brigade No. 32 Armored Ranger Battalion Squad F leader and first lieutenant. She was in the same class as Claude at Edinburgh Military Academy, and graduated second in their class. She worked and studied very hard to graduate at the top of her class, but was not able to surpass Claude. Since then, she sees Claude as a strong rival who she believes was chosen by mistake, insisting that her own abilities are superior. Due to her father’s influence, she has a strong sense of elitism, and values the chivalrous spirit of a fair battle. On the other hand, she can be stubborn and persistent about trivial thin, but there is no doubt she is a skilled military officer. Minerva was actually promoted earlier than Claude, and is his senior first lieutenant. She is sociable and kind to others—except Claude.



Karen Stewart (voiced by Yuka Saitou)

Edinburgh Army 101st Division No. 1 Battle Brigade No. 32 Armored Ranger Battalion Squad E medical officer and corporal. Quiet and kind, she’s popular among the troops for her soothing smile. Since she grew up in an all-male household, she is particularly skilled in the treatment of men, and patches up the injuries that come her way with a smiling face. She hopes to go to medical school, but is volunteering to serve in the military in order to help her family.





Ragnarok

Edinburgh Army 101st Division No. 1 Battle Brigade No. 32 Armored Ranger Battalion Squad E medical dog and mascot of the unit. He was originally a stray found by the squad. He became attached to Claude and company, and joined Squad E. He is a brave dog who will fearlessly run to the battlefield even during gunfires and bombings to aid injured soldiers. He cannot ignore the weak and will run to their aid against better judgment. He is prideful and gets angry when people pat his head, but behaves courteously to soldiers who give him food (especially women). He sees Claude and company as rookies, and feels obligated to help them when he senses danger. However, such thoughts do not reach Claude and company, who see Ragnarok as a friendly, foolish dog.

? Systems
? Training Grounds
You can train your classes (unit types) at the Training Grounds. There are six basic classes, but through training, you can rank up to higher-level “Jaeger” classes, which will significantly expand the breadth of strategy, such as the increasing types of weapons available for that class to use.
At the Training Grounds, which are located at the camp on the front lines, you will receive the guidance of senior officer and first lieutenant Minerva Victor. She will drill you on the necessary information.
By allotting the necessary experience points to each class, they will level up. To what extent you train a certain class is up to you. When a class levels up, it will learn new “Orders” and a “Battle Potential” may also awaken.
(Read more about Orders and Potentials in their separate section below.)

Advanced Classes: “Jaeger”
When a class reaches level 11, it will rank up to a higher-level “Jaeger” class. When you become a Jaeger class, you will be able to employ a wider range of tactics, including the ability to use more new weapons.

​

• 
  
  
  • Scout Jaeger (Scout) – Ability increases all around, and the “Rifle Grenade” becomes available for use. Compared to a standard hand grenade, the Rifle Grenade can fire grenades from much further away.
  • Assault Jaeger (Assault) – Ability increases all around, and the “Flame Thrower” becomes available for use. The Flamethrower can fire through the defense effect of sandbags, and waved from side to side to reduce enemies to ashes, but has short range.
  • Sniper Jaeger (Sniper) – Ability increases all around, and the “Auto Sniper Rifle” and “Lancer Sniper Rifle” become available for use. The Auto Sniper Rifle attacks with a rapid-fire three-shot burst. The Lancer Sniper Rifle has high VS. Armor attack power. Also, by becoming a Sniper Jaeger in Valkyria Chronicles 4, you will be able to counterattack the enemy.
  • Lancer Jaeger (Lancer) – Ability increases all around, and the “Mortar Lance” becomes available for use. The Mortar Lance is a weapon that can fire a mortar with a ranged attack effect. It is a weapon with high VS. Person attack power that creates a parabola and explodes upon impact.
  • Engineer Jaeger (Engineer) – Ability increases all around, as does the amount recovered from the “Tank Reparation Kit.”
  • Grenadier Jaeger (Grenadier) – Ability increases all around.

? Operation Room
In the “Operation Room,” you can switch your party members in or out, and change their equipment. Organize a party suited for the current situation and lead your squad to victory.
The Unit Ability Screen


​

• 
  
  
  • 01. Name: The character’s name
  • 02. Class: The unit’s class
  • 03. LV: The class’ level
  • 04. HP: The unit’s health power
  • 05. AP: The unit’s action power
  • 06. Firing / Evasion: The character’s firing and evasion ability
  • 07. Special Ability: The Potential possessed by the character. There are two types: Personal Potential (P) and Battle Potential (B)
  • 08. Affinity: Characters with good affinity. The screenshot shows Raz has good affinity with Claude, Kai, and Zaiga. You have a higher accuracy rate when performing co-op attacks with good affinity characters

​

• 
  
  
  • 09. Equipped Weapons: The names of your weapons
  • 10. Hit: Hit accuracy (from best to worst: S > A > B > C > D)
  • 11. Range: The range a weapon’s attack reaches (effective range)
  • 12. VS. Person: Attack power against infantry soldier units
  • 13. VS. Armor: Attack power against tank units and destroyable objects
  • 14. Shots: The number of shots that can be fired in a single attack
  • 15. Bullets: The number of times you can attack. If this is used up, you will not be able to attack until it is replenished. “?” means infinite
  • 16. Area: Whether the weapon affects multiple units. “Circle” means it does, “X” means it does not
  • 17. Special: In cases where special effects exist, such as “Lowers Defense Power,” an icon will be displayed
  • 18. Equipped Armor: The names of your armor
  • 19. Defense: The defense power of your armor

For each character, the Potential that can be acquired differs. Also, there is difference in ability, as well as both strong points and weak points depending on the class, so be sure to strengthen each character.
? Orders and Potentials
“Orders” are special actions that can be used by the protagonist and enemy bosses, which can manifest various effects unto the user’s party. “Potential” reveals a character’s personality and their skill level as a soldier. In an “Abnormal State,” the state of the units in your control will change, and by meeting certain conditions during Action Mode, there is a fixed chance Potential will be activated.
Orders
Orders are special actions that the protagonist and enemy bosses can use during Command Mode by spending CP. Effects include changing the stats of your units, sending in reinforcements, withdrawing from battle, and more. In addition to learning Orders when raising class levels, Orders can be learned by talking to comrades at the “Salon.”

The Two Types of Potentials
There are two types of Potentials: “Personal Potentials,” which originates from the character’s personality and traits, and “Battle Potentials,” which originates from the class’ skill level. There are both good and bad sides to Personal Potentials, but Battle Potentials normally increase ability.
Neither of the two Potentials are all unlocked from the start, but rather learned through awakenings as you progress. Also, there are situations where Personal Potentials will change due to clearing certain story missions and other circumstances.

Two artles from the same place



Meet Valkyria Chronicles 4’s Squad E Tank Driver And APC Driver. January 19, 2018 . 9:30am

Famitsu had more info on Valkyria Chronicles 4 this week, introducing three new members as well as the capabilities of Squad E’s tank, the Hafen.

13 comments Read >

Famitsu had more info on Valkyria Chronicles 4 this week, introducing three new members as well as the capabilities of Squad E’s tank, the Hafen. [Thanks, RPG Site, and BlackKite on Twitter for the pictures]

Miles Arbeck (CV: Hiroshi Okamoto)

​

Squad E’s tank driver and maintenance crew. He was Claude’s junior at the academy, and the two of them have been paired up for tank duties since then. He trusts Claude as a tank commander and a squad leader. A serious person with a hobby of photography.

Dan Bentley (CV: Hisao Egawa)



A vehicle maniac who somehow ended up in the Federation army. After working in many squads as a driver, he is assigned to Squad E. He operates the APC and also is a mechanic as well. While he’s a man of few words, he’s quite caring.

Ronald Albee (CV: Atsuki Tani)


Tank commander in Squad F, led by Minerva. Back in the academy days, Minerva was his senior and drilled her sense of chivalry into him. He believes that Minerva will one day reach the highest ranks of the Federation Army.

Tanks and APCs:


The Squad E tank, the Hafen, is operated by Claude and Miles. Tanks are sturdy to withstand gunfire from most footsoldiers, apart from Lancers. However, the blue exhaust at the back of the tank serves as a weak spot that needs protection. Tanks have three types of ammunition:​

• Armor-piercing shell: Goes in a straight line, and pierces through armored vehicles like enemy tanks
• High-explosive shell: This is an anti-personnel shell that is arced and explodes to cause a range of damage.
• Machine gun: Can be used during Enemy Phase to gun down enemies in range. Also serves as a close range option for taking down infantry.

Dan Bentley is the driver of Cactus, Squad E’s APC (Armored Personnel Carrier). APCs can carry several soldiers out to the frontlines swiftly, but lack the thick armor of tanks. Players need to be careful not to take heavy gunfire, lest the APC gets destroyed, with the soldiers becoming unusable for a while.

Weapons Research and Development:​

At the R&D facility that serves as Squad E’s backup, players can upgrade the weapons and armor of soldiers, as well as upgrade the tank’s capabilities and create parts that can be equipped.

For soldiers, upgraded equipment will apply to every character in that class, so development can raise the overall level of the troops when done strategically.

As for tanks, there are plenty of optional parts, but only so many can be used at once as they fill up a grid (with stronger parts taking up more space), so it should be changed to fit the mission. There is also a spot to place a sticker on the Hafen, and the stickers have various stat increasing effects as well.

Valkyria Chronicles 4 releases in Japan on March 21, 2018 for PlayStation 4 and for Nintendo Switch in Summer 2018. North America and Europe will receive the game in 2018 for PlayStation 4, Xbox One, and Nintendo Switch.

[FONT=&quot]Valkyria Chronicles 4 details Roland, Bryan, Mary, and Ruch, snow cruiser Centurion[/FONT]
Published 6 hours ago. 7 comments.

Call upon the Centurion with Ship Orders.



Sega has updated the official website for Valkyria Chronicles 4 with information and screenshots on new characters Roland Morgan, Bryan Haddock, Mary Bennett, and Ruch, as well as the Centurion cruiser.
Get the details below.

? Characters
? Edinburgh Navy
Roland Morgan (voiced by Michihiro Ikemizu)

Edinburgh Navy colonel, and captain of the snow cruiser Centurion. As someone with an extremely gentle and mild personality who never panics in a critical situation, he is the mental pillar of the warship. He can also be strict, having once been feared as the “Demon Captain,” and is tough on both himself and others, letting out a sharp roar when necessary. He lost a warship in the past, and is operating with strong preparedness as not to sink the second time around.





Bryan Haddock (voiced by Takuya Kirimoto)

Edinburgh Navy first lieutenant, and chief navigator of the Centurion. He is somewhat neurotic, which makes him difficult to approach, but is calm and sensible at his core. He is a respected man who has supported Morgan on the battlefield many times since his first mission, and is something of a vice captain. As a navy supremacist, he tends to look down on the army and clash opinions with Claude.






Mary Bennett (voiced by Hiroko Ushida)

Edinburgh Navy master sergeant, and communications officer of the Centurion. A woman with a calm atmosphere and undying smile, she is “everyone’s big sister” on the warship. Her gentle personality exudes a fine upbringing. She is an extremely hard worker, working outside of her duties to clean the warship, patrol, and so on during the day. She is also good at cooking.






Ruch (voiced by Shino Shimoji)

Edinburgh Navy sergeant, and tracker of the Centurion. As a prodigy who skipped grades to graduation at Navy Training School, she is familiar with the latest technology, and joins the fleet after her abilities were recognized. She does not talk to anyone much, perhaps because of serious and level-headed character, or strong tone of voice, but is close with Mary.




? System
? Centurion
Built in secret, the Edinburgh Navy constructed cruisers for use in battle. Three warships of the same model were built, and the Centurion, which Claude and the others embark on, is the second of the three. It can presumably move through fields of ice, and is equipped with a huge ram for breaking ice at the warship’s head. At over 230 meters in length, the Centurion is like a tank riding on ice as if striding across a stretched out crevasse. This giant warship’s ability to travel on land is thanks to technology given to Edinburgh by the United States of Vinland. Those details are country-level top secret.

Ship Orders
If you select “Ship Order” in Command Mode during battle, you can receive support from the Centurion. As for the types of support you can receive, you can develop equipment for your warship to strengthen the performance and usage frequency of Ship Orders during battle through “Warship Body Equipment Development” in Research and Development. Since the amount of times Ship Orders can be used is limited and cannot be recovered during battle, be sure to consider the timing.

Types of Ship Orders
—Radar
Displays enemies in Command Mode that have yet to be discovered within a certain range, as well as those that have disappeared from view. This Ship Order is available from the beginning.



—Bombardment
Executes bombing on a designated area, dealing damage to enemies within its range.




—Relief Unit
Heals the HP of ally soldier units, and performs injury evacuation when a character in a state of near-death.



—Vehicle Emergency Repair
Revives an ally vehicle unit that evacuated during battle. A vehicle cannot normally be revived after it is destroyed during battle, but you can revive it by using this Ship Order.

Valkyria Chronicles 4 is due out for PlayStation 4 on March 21 and for Switch this summer in Japan, and for PlayStation 4, Xbox One, and Switch in 2018 in the Americas and Europe.

Why hasn’t the thread title been fixed yet?

Why hasn’t the thread title been fixed yet?

I remember asking that while asking the thread to be moved to the multi plate area. but I guess since sega was working on two valkyria titles and onewas still chronicles it wasn't changed due to that and we don't know if that other one "revolution" will be renamed with chronicles added in it. sega just went quiet with it for now.


And it might be renamed later like the Shining Resonance (<< there's the link) game that's just coming but was announced year prior.
we'll have to see what happens with the revolution game but right now that game that's coming out still has the chronicles in it .

valkyria revolution was a spinoff, though. I can understand if the series ended there without any followups but we know there's a chronicles 4 coming out so either take the "cronciles" out or fix the spelling, it's just sloppy leaving it like that. i don't understand.

my request in the tech forum has gone like 2 months unanswered also. won't stop me from asking again and again
