That's what I saw on a Gamefaqs message board thread that Google returned to me, so that makes sense.
I'm in chapter 6, so I have a couple of chapters to go before I grind.

I'm in chapter 6, so I have a couple of chapters to go before I grind.
20+ hours into the game, and I've cleared out a majority of the loyalty missions. All classes are fully upgraded. I'm ready to roll through chapter 9 onward.
Just ordered the game. Won't be able to play it for a while (haven't even finished the first one) but it was $20 physical and I like the series so glad to support it regardless. Shame they never did a steelbook for this one, I got it for the remaster and I really like how it looks.
Didn't find a OT for VC in general, so I'm gonna hijack the thread a little to inform all Spanish-speaking VC fans that the VC3 fan translation has been released by Selvaria Team. That's all.
Got an easy link for the Spanish speakers to find the fan TL? Linking to a fan TL patch is not against the rules, so you're safe in that regard, just can't link to a ROM.
I'm playing through it now and I'm wondering why you can't skip enemy turns.
Does the game not pre-calculate enemy actions beforehand like, say, Fire Emblem?
Am I missing a button somewhere?

I dont think it does, since turns are a lot more complex than fire emblem due to the way crossfire works. It also is more important to see what happens on an enemy turn due to the amount of variables involved in this game versus something like FE
Nope, since you only able to speed up enemy turns via Option setting and that's it.
The fact that it makes you sit through all the dialogues and tutorials if you hit retry for whatever reason grinds my gears.
You can't evade dialogue/tutorial triggers but you should be able to skip them once they start.
I'm going through my second playthrough (PC) and was able to skip all dialogue, cutscenes and tutorials with esc!
Hmm I was just finishing this up in my backlog but the part with Klaus Walz after his final battle felt really cheesy, like it stuck out like a sore thumb from the rest of the writing, not sure why they didn't just have him die after the chapter 15 mission.
I'm bumping this because I don't want to make a new thread just to ask: is the complete edition worth it? The regular version is on sale for like $10 on PSN and the complete is like $50. The DLC by itself is like $25. I would buy used but apparently the complete edition isn't available physically on PS4.
That seems a lot for the DLC though if you're into the series you'll eventually want to play the Squad 7 DLC.
Maybe just play the base game first and see if you want more. Base game itself is a good 50 hours.
Hm, I've seen the complete edition go for $10, so there must be something wrong going on. There shouldn't be different pricing for sales on PSN and Steam.
So the story DLCs are good, but very short. The beach story having some surprisingly good character moments, but its also only 2 missions. The captainless squad is longer iirc, but weaker from a story and character standpoint.
The Two Valkyria DLC is fun just for getting to play with 2 super broken characters, and getting to add them into your squad to steamroll things after you already beat the game, but really just for shits n giggles. They are just cheat characters.
Expert Level Skirmishes wasnt really my thing
Overall its not a great value compared to the main game being so cheap, but theres decent stuff in there.
If you have a capable PC (and I think the bar for Valkyria Chronicles is pretty low but double-check if you're concerned) the version of VC4 on Steam is the Complete Edition now; at some point they just gave away all the DLC to previous owners and replaced the old version of the game with the Complete Edition package for the same price. That doesn't really help now, of course, but it'll almost certainly be on sale sometime in the next few months; I'd guess either during Lunar New Year or Golden Week in April.
Also, FWIW, the Complete Edition for PS4 has gone on sale a bunch, including January and February of 2021 and 2020, so decent chance it'll happen again (probably Lunar New Year again, just like on Steam).
Thanks for all the info everyone! I guess I'll forgo buying the regular edition right now and wait for another sale of the complete edition since the DLC seems like it is, in fact, worth playing! :)
Didn't have to wait long :)
The complete edition is on sale right now for $15 with +, $19 regular!
