Practicallyeveryone, at least. While earlier last year we found out that players could drawValkyria Chronicles’lead characters Alicia Melchiott and Welkin Gunther out of retirement in the PSP-bound sequel, it seems that Sega have a lot more return appearances in mind for the game.
Besidestwoversions of Alicia (one whose character sprites are based on the TV anime and one based on the game) and Welkin, characters Lamarre, Mintz and Julius (of the anime and manga adaptations) can also join the young students of the Gallian Royal Military Academy.
That’s all well and good, butthe most recently announced set of cameosfeels a bit…wrong, for reasons I can’t get into without spoiling the first game. For example, players who have aValkyria Chroniclessave file on their PS3 can unlock Isara Gunther for duty (via PSP-to-PS3 connectivity).
Sega will also be posting special unlock/download codes on the officialValkyria Chronicles 2website in February (following the January 21st release) that will enable the use of Faldio Landzaat and Maximillian.Yes, Maximillian, Isara and Faldiowill be in Valkyria Chronicles 2.
You may not get the significance of those cameos unless you’ve played the game (or readChad Concelmo’s great writeup of the ending), butthat’s pretty significant, and not in the best of ways. Obviously I don’thaveto use them in the game, but I just hope that these old faces’ abilities don’t upstage those of theactuallead characters.
What about you guys? Is this wrong, or is itreallywrong?
