Valkyria Chronicles
So, kirin is playing Valkyria Chronicles, finally. He bought it when it came out, like, 6 months ago, and I've been badgering him to play "the pretty game" since then.
It's total bait. It's set in a fantasy/alternate 1930 Europe, with a big honking Empire and the Atlantic Federation. Geographically, the Empire is mostly Russia and maybe a bit of Austria-Hungary, but they've got some pretty distinctively German-isms. The First Europan War was triggered by the assassination of the Crown Prince of the Empire, see. So it's like the designers took early 20th century European history and munged it all together. I'm OK with that.
I just hope the commander of the other squad, who went to collegeand had lots of gay sex with the main character, doesn't die in some random-ass battle. That would Annoy Me Greatly.
