Valkyria Chronicles[a] is a series of military-themed tactical role-playing video games created by Ryutaro Nonaka and Shuntaro Tanaka, and developed by Sega. The series began with Valkyria Chronicles, which was released for the PlayStation 3 in 2008, and later for Microsoft Windows, PlayStation 4 and the Nintendo Switch. Two sequels have been released on the PlayStation Portable, with the latest installment, Valkyria Chronicles 4, released for the PlayStation 4, Xbox One, Nintendo Switch and Microsoft Windows. The series has also been expanded into anime and manga media.

Settings, gameplay, and characters

[edit]
Main article: List of Valkyria Chronicles characters

The main line of games uses a turn based system known as the BLiTZ (Battle of Live Tactical Zones), set in Europa, a fictional continent based on Europe where a massive conflict known as the "Second Europan War" took place between the superpowers of the Atlantic Federation, a loose alliance of democracies from the western part of the continent and the East Europan Imperial Alliance, an imperialistic monarchy. It was in fact a continuation of the First Europan War, which ended in a stalemate a few decades ago. Both sides covet the natural resources of the neutral nation of Gallia, which leads to an invasion from the Empire. The first, third and fourth game of the series follow the exploits of distinct groups of Gallian soldiers on different fronts of the Second Europan War, fighting the imperial forces, while the second game is set two years after the war, with the Gallian government facing an insurrection that escalates into a civil war after it was revealed that the Gallian royal family descends from the Darcsen race, which has suffered prejudice and persecution across the continent for centuries.

The four main games were designed using Sega's CANVAS graphics engine, making the visuals resemble pencil drawn paintings in motion.

Despite considered part of the franchise, Valkyria Revolution is set in an alternate version of Europa with different lore and characters, as well as a totally different artstyle and gameplay.

Games

[edit]

Valkyria Chronicles debuted on PlayStation 3, with the original game later made available on Microsoft Windows, PlayStation 4 and Nintendo Switch. Sega opted to continue the series on PlayStation Portable instead of on PlayStation 3. However, Valkyria Chronicles 4 was released on the PlayStation 4, Xbox One, Microsoft Windows and Nintendo Switch, it was the first Valkyria Chronicles game to debut on a Nintendo platform and Microsoft Windows in the West.

The first main entry in the series was originally released for the PlayStation 3 and later ported to Microsoft Windows, PlayStation 4, and Nintendo Switch. The Windows port was developed by Little Stone Software. It takes place in Europa, a fictional continent based on Europe, during the beginning of World War II. Because of its abundance of Ragnite ore, which takes the place of petroleum in the game setting, the neutral nation of Gallia comes under attack from the East Europan Imperial Alliance, which is itself engaged in a war with the Atlantic Federation.[1] Players take control of a unit of the Gallian Militia, dedicated to repelling the invasion.

The game's story focuses on a military academy as its cadets seek to prevent an ethnic cleansing campaign by a ruthless rebel group.

The anime adaptation of the first game premiered on April 4, 2009[17] and was produced by Aniplex's A-1 Pictures.[18][19] The series was directed by Yasutaka Yamamoto[20] and written by Michiko Yokote under the Project Valkyria Group.[20] Valkyria Chronicles was aired on Animax, Tokyo MX, MBS, CBC, Chiba TV, Television Kanagawa, Television Hokkaido, BS11, and TVQ Kyushu Broadcasting.[21] Generally following the storyline of the original game, the anime version differs from its source in terms of characterization of main players such as Alicia, and introduces a character unique to the anime, Ramal Valt. While retaining elements of the CANVAS Engine's look, the characters were redesigned for the anime by Atsuko Watanabe.

The original score for the anime is composed and conducted by the game's composer Hitoshi Sakimoto and performed by the Czech Film Orchestra. The first opening theme song, "Asu e no Kizuna"[22] was performed by Animax Anison Grand Prix winner Catherine St. Onge, under her chosen moniker of Himeka.[23][24][25] A CD single of the song was released on May 27, 2009.[26] The first ending theme, "Ano Kaze ni Notte" (アノ風ニノッテ, "Riding on that Wind") was sung by the band Pe'zmoku with a CD single released on May 27, 2009 in a regular and special edition.[26][27] Maria performed the series's second opening theme, "Kanashimi Rensa" (カナシミレンサ, "Chain of Sorrow"),[28] which was used from the 14th episode on.[29] The second ending song, "Hitotsu no Negai" (ひとつの願い, "A Single Wish"), was sung by Hikari Inoue[29] beginning from Episode 14 until Episode 25. Episode 26's ending song was "Brightest Morning", also performed by Hikari Inoue. CD singles for "Kanashimi Rensa" and "Hitotsu no Negai" were released on August 12, 2009 and August 5, 2009.[29]

Region 2 DVDs of all 26 episodes were released across nine volumes, beginning on August 5, 2009,[30] and concluding on April 7, 2010.[31] Each DVD volume contained a Valkyria Chronicles Theater OVA mini-episode. A BD-box was released on April 27, 2011.

Anime

[edit]

Valkyria Chronicles III was adapted into a two-episode original video animation series in the same year of its release. Titled Senjō no Varukyuria 3: Taga Tame no Jūsō (戦場のヴァルキュリア３ 誰がための銃瘡, lit. Valkyria of the Battlefield 3: The Wound Taken for Someone's Sake), it was originally released through PlayStation Network and Qriocity between April and May 2011. The initially-planned release and availability period needed to be extended due to a stoppage to PSN during the early summer of that year. It later released for DVD on June 29 and August 31, 2011, with separate "Black" and "Blue" editions being available for purchase.[35][36] The anime is set during the latter half of Valkyria Chronicles III, detailing a mission by the Nameless against their Imperial rivals Calamity Raven.[37] The anime was first announced in November 2010.[38] It was developed by A-1 Pictures, produced by Shinji Motoyama, directed by Nobuhiro Kondō, and written by Hiroshi Ōnogi. Sakimoto's music for the game was used in the anime.[34]

The anime's title was inspired by the principal purpose of the Nameless: to suffer in battle for the goals of others. A subtitle attached to the project during development was "The Road to Kubinka", which referenced the Kubinka Tank Museum in Moscow. The game's main theme was how the characters regained their sense of self when stripped of their names and identities, along with general themes focused on war and its consequences. While making the anime, the production team were told by Sega to make it as realistic as possible, with the consequence that the team did extensive research into aspects such as what happened when vehicles like tanks were overturned or damaged. Due to it being along the same timeline as the original game and its anime television adaptation, the cast of Valkyria Chronicles could make appearances, which pleased the team.[37][39][40] The opening theme, "Akari (Light) -Tomoshibi-" (灯-TOMOSHIBI-), was sung by Japanese singer Faylan. The ending theme, "Someday the Flowers of Light Will Bloom" (いつか咲く光の花, Itsuka Saku Hikari no Hana), was sung by Minami Kuribayashi. Both songs' lyrics were written by their respective artists.[41]

Manga

[edit]

Two manga adaptations were serialized between 2011 and 2012, following each of the game's main female protagonists, Imca and Riela. They were Senjō no Varukyuria 3: Na mo Naki Chikai no Hana (戦場のヴァルキュリア3 名もなき誓いの花, lit. Valkyria of the Battlefield 3: The Flower of the Nameless Oath), illustrated by Naoyuki Fujisawa and released in two volumes by ASCII Media Works after being serialized in Dengeki Maoh from March 26, 2011 to February 27, 2012; and Senjō no Varukyuria 3: -Akaki Unmei no Ikusa Otome- (戦場のヴァルキュリア3 -赤き運命の戦乙女-, lit. Valkyria of the Battlefield 3: The Valkyrie of the Crimson Fate), illustrated by Mizuki Tsuge and released in a single volume by Kadokawa Shoten after being serialized in Comp Ace from July 26, 2011 to January 26, 2012.[42][43]
