Due to its abysmal sales in North America, I’m surprised Sega is putting together a sequel to Valkyria Chronicles. Don’t get me wrong, I’m terribly glad they are – that title is probably the best RPG to grace the PS3 since the system hit the market. Its just a shame not many people got to experience it, since it was released last year during the holiday season when just about every other triple-A game of the year came out. Because of that, it didn’t get much attention from the typical gamer. I guess it’s a good thing Japanese companies don’t make or break a game by sales figures in other parts of the world. 

I’m glad they’re releasing a sequel on the PSP – the art style, game play and setting of the story holds so much potential it would be a shame not to attempt to expose more people to its grandeur. Looks like its aiming for a winter release in Japan, so we’ll likely see it on this side of the Pacific next year sometime.
