Admittedly, I had been putting off this #VGMWednesday and I was also totally behind on the previous one. Mostly because I didn't anticipate the game being any different between weeks.
So, I promise this is the last time I will mention Valkyria Chronicles 2, at least for calendar year 2025.
The track today is called 『Exciting battle』and functions as one of the battle themes that plays during your turn.
Honestly, listening to this, without the sound of tanks trundling and machine gun fire, you could have convinced me this was an overworld music piece in Final Fantasy XII. Maybe Giza Plains when it is sunny?

Thankfully, it is an enjoyable bit of music! It would suck if this was a bad piece!

Something I am playing in the background is #ValkyriaChronicles2 I remember playing this when I was at University, in 2010. Shame my #PSP crapped out ages ago, fantastic device, however it seemed really finnickity and prone to issues due to the internals being delicate.
Anyway, this is less about the PSP and more about the #ValkyriaChronicles series.
I love VC2, though on reflection and playing it now, the bitesize missions can be nice, but they are a total slog at times. The tone can be a bit weird, with the school setting and ignoring the fact most characters are essentially child soldiers, by choice and not because the horrors of war have forced them to take arms, unless I missed something in the in-game lore. Whilst there are emotional moments, it all feels a bit... Odd.This will be a satisfying game to finish, especially with RetroAchievements logging my progress on a 100% completion. But it will be months before that happens.
