Eraezr Posted September 27, 2018 Share Posted September 27, 2018 I wasn't too hot on the cheesy dialogue, specifically between Alicia and Welkin, or the princess's character arc being bit of a cliche. Does VC4 hold itself better in writing? I'm OK with some cheese, just not too much of it. I Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cckerberos Posted September 27, 2018 Share Posted September 27, 2018 Didn't play either game in English, so can't comment on dialogue choices (which are going to come down as much to localization as the original writing). I'd say the story is about on the same level as the first game. Both are typical anime standard. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JoeShorts Posted September 27, 2018 Share Posted September 27, 2018 The game very closely resembles the first in multiple ways and one of which is the dialogue and character interactions. I think if you didn't care for the dialogue in the first one you probably wont like this one either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Oobedoob S Benubi Posted September 27, 2018 Share Posted September 27, 2018 I only played the first mission in VC4 but I thought the dialogue was so corny, I switched to Japanese voices to lessen the impact for me ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I shows its been 10 years since VC1 and how voice acting is so much better is most videogame, especially a game like Valkyria 4 that as much dialogue. I replayed VC1 and laugh how weird and cheesy lines were sometimes, but VC4 is great, like watching a high quality Anime! Sometimes cheesy lines for humor reasons, but overall (I am passed 50% of the story), it as a FAR BETTER story in dialogue!!! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dantes_994 Posted October 1, 2018 Share Posted October 1, 2018 I just finished chapter 7, and even though I love the original, this one has a much more compelling story Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Because the acting in Japanese seemed to be pretty much on the same level to me in the two games. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
davidstubbs Posted October 3, 2018 Share Posted October 3, 2018 I think the writing has improved greatly, so has the voice acting (english). The story as far as chapter 7 and the following extra chapter is fine but it feels unfocused, but im not even halfway so... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eraezr Posted October 3, 2018 Author Share Posted October 3, 2018 DLC western release schedule https://gematsu.com/2018/09/valkyria-chronicles-4-dlc-western-release-schedule-announced I've decided I'll buy this game, but I'm not sure if I should buy it now to support it or to wait for a 'Complete' edition or buying the game cheap then topping off the rest. If the current game's content is fair and transparently complete, I'd go for now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I may offend some people, but IMO, if you dont know the language, IT MAKES NO SENSE watching anime or a videogame in Japanese, so I ONLY talk about the great English voice acting. I know English & French so the only language I will ear on TV. Media (videogames, TV, movies are for watching and earring, not for reading)!

Some people (like me) just prefer the original voices. You specifically mentioned anime and video games so I somehow get your point, but when it comes to real actors I just hate dubbing. Regarding the dialogues it's a little bit less cheesy than the first one but still has this strange Japanese style I somehow dislike like for example that girl on the ship that always calls Claude a maggot and he is just ok with it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
