	Thursday Apr 16, 2009 Valkyria Chronicles DLC goes live on PSN today! I really enjoy Thursdays. Thursdays mean you’ve passed the middle ground of the week and are coming up on that glorious finisher we call Friday. Normally, I find them nice – today, Thursday is more than nice – it is absolutely fantastic. Valkyria Chronicles DLC is going live on PSN, and I’ve got more details for you Valkyria Fans, as well as a free Valkyria Chronicles Artbook to give away! First, it’s time for the details on the DLC pack that everyone has been clamoring for since the beginning: Behind Her Blue Flame. Now some of you out there can pretend if you want to, but we all know the real reason you’ve been looking forward to this pack – something to the tune of a silver-haired, lance-wielding, beautiful queen of the battlefield known as Selvaria Bles. So let’s get to it. The Battlefield seen from red eyes One of the coolest things about Behind Her Blue Flame is that you get to see the war play out from the eyes of the Empire. I thought this was a really nice touch, as it brings up the often-forgotten fact that the soldiers of the Empire are people too – they fight for their own beliefs, have their own families, and, at least in Johann’s case, suffer from the same ailments – namely, fainting. Johann (pronounced Yo-han), the main character in Behind Her Blue Flame, is an engineer whose squad gets folded into Selvaria’s regiment. This is good news for you, because otherwise you’d have absolutely no hope of beating these missions. This is also bad news for the Gallian troops, because Selvaria – as anyone who has played the main story knows – can one-shot tanks and units alike. You’ll have to work to unlock her full powers, but even in her shocktrooper-esque mode she can run further than any of your units, run straight past incoming tanks and pretty much kill anybody or anything that looks at you the wrong way. Yes, it’s just as much fun as it sounds. However, Selvaria dislikes pretty much anything to do with ragnite – meaning she won’t carry anything to heal herself with. She also can’t get past barricades by herself since she has no grenades, meaning that Johann has to stick right by her side, both to heal her and clear the way for her to mow down some more Gallian troops. Especially in the first mission, make sure you keep Johann just behind her, or you’ll spend a lot of time later trying to have him catch up. Unlockables, New Missions, and interesting situations with Selvaria Thanks Otto, you jerk. Here’s the lowdown on what you get in the Selvaria Pack: Four new missions, playing as the Empire New unlockable weapon in the main Gallian campaign Fan-freaking-tastic Voice acting (Serious props to the actors for Selvaria, Johann, and Otto) Bonus unlockable mission made of pure win I’m not going to spoil what you get for completing all of the missions, but after I played it today I can wholeheartedly say it is awesome. You’ll probably be smiling the entire time you play the bonus mission, and for good reason. Of the three, the Selvaria pack by far gives you the most new content in regards to storyline. You’ll get to see what Selvaria is like outside of battle – and, thanks in part to Johann’s fainting you’ll find yourself in one or two rather awkward situations: like waking up on Selvaria’s bed. I’ll let you guys discover how that one plays out… Valkyria Chronicles – Contests and Free Merch Do you guys remember the blog post where I asked you which communities and fansites you wanted SEGA to reach out to for contests and giveaways? With DLC coming out today, it’s time to unleash a slew of sweet Valkyria goodness upon the fans as a thank you from SEGA for the amazing support you guys have shown for this game in your communities and across the web. I’ll be posting here with details on each contest as it goes live – as a teaser, it should be known that some of those limited edition pre-order art books (the ones that sell for as much as the game) might just show up, and there may also be some imported collector’s figurines going out too… stay tuned! Now then, a mini-giveaway to get the celebration started: If you’re the first person to comment on this blog post saying “I LOVE VALKYRIA CHRONICLES!”, I’ll hook you up with one of the Valkyria Chronicles pre-order artbooks. Of course, even if you aren’t the first, you can still add your comment to the list – if you’re as excited as we are about today, add in your voice and let us know! The wait is finally over, but the fun (and free stuff) is just getting started. Happy Valkyria Chronicles DLC Day everyone!

Hooray for being late…if only I finished working a bit earlier to check the twitter post and link… Posted by sporkhead on April 16th, 2009 at 2:38 pm Comment # 16 “I LOVE VALKYRIA CHRONICLES!” Not quite the first but it’s true :3 Posted by Darkbeat on April 16th, 2009 at 2:39 pm Comment # 17 I LOVE VALKYRIA CHRONICLES! I preordered the game and have the booklet, but I would love to get an Alicia figurine (or preferably a Marina figurine because she’s better ). Freaking beat the game like 3 times, got everything unlocked, and am totally buying the DLC D: Posted by Darkpen on April 16th, 2009 at 2:41 pm Comment # 18 I wish there was a bundle price. But what the hell, I’m buying them anyway. Posted by name on April 16th, 2009 at 2:43 pm Comment # 19 Damn, wish I was as quick to the punch as others, but I do love this game. Excuse me while I go buy the dlc and drool over…I mean play as Selvaria. Posted by Seth on April 16th, 2009 at 2:45 pm Comment # 20 I LOVE VALKYRIA CHRONICLES! It’s true. I do. Posted by Roland on April 16th, 2009 at 2:45 pm Comment # 21 East Europan Imperial Alliance for life! Posted by Batomys on April 16th, 2009 at 2:47 pm Comment # 22 Darn, well I hope you guys have some extra art books rolling around I’d be fine with just buying it though. Brought Valkyria Chronicles with me to Austin while I visited my friends and they all loved it, and are going to buy it soon. Got into arguments on some of our strategies though, haha. Posted by InfiniteNine on April 16th, 2009 at 2:49 pm Comment # 23 Hello! Sony FINALLY added the DLC about an hour ago. I’m playing Edy’s Detachment. Woo! Fun times had by me. Doing good so far, hopefully I don’t get demolished in the next turn. Posted by salarta on April 16th, 2009 at 2:57 pm Comment # 24 Doh! That’s what I get for walking away from my desk. I LOVE VALKYRIA CHRONICLES! Posted by stationmaster on April 16th, 2009 at 2:58 pm Comment # 25 I LOVE VALKYRIA CHRONICLES! I EVEN BOUGHT THE SOUNDTRACK FOR IT! Posted by Linktrigger on April 16th, 2009 at 3:00 pm Comment # 26 I LOVE VALKYRIA CHRONICLES! Posted by Endyss on April 16th, 2009 at 3:16 pm Comment # 27 I LOVE VALKYRIA CHRONICLES Posted by protoZ on April 16th, 2009 at 3:18 pm Comment # 28 I LOVE VALKYRIA CHRONICLES Posted by Dr. Nogames on April 16th, 2009 at 3:26 pm Comment # 29 I LOVE VALKYRIA CHRONICLES! probally too late Missed the tweet! :/ Posted by Danielle on April 16th, 2009 at 3:26 pm Comment # 30 Got all 3 packs and loving them. Extreme mode is insane and Edy’s mission is challenging and unique. The real star is Selvaria’s pack though. I’m not done yet, but I have to agree about the voice acting. I wasn’t expecting such great quality from the likes of Johann and Otto. And I love how the Empire is portrayed as people too, whenever I lose a soldier I’m just as eager to save them as I would any Gallian. Good work Sega! Now lets get that sequel everyone wants. Posted by Bobby on April 16th, 2009 at 3:31 pm Comment # 31 Even though I’m way late, I still LOVE VALKYRIA CHRONICLES! It really has surpassed Skies of Arcadia as my favorite RPG ever! Posted by James on April 16th, 2009 at 3:35 pm Comment # 32 I LOVE VALKYRIA CHRONICLES!! Bought all 3, I’m playing Edy’s right now! So awesome! XD Posted by Sean on April 16th, 2009 at 4:05 pm Comment # 33 Grabbing the DLC now! Can’t wait to play it!!! Posted by Karisu on April 16th, 2009 at 4:09 pm Comment # 34 I LOVE VALKYRIA CHRONICLES!!!!!!!!!!!!!! AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA this game is fantastic, 60$ well spent, my ps3 lens died and i was just thinking about the DLC of VK, the wish to play this game again made the dessicion to fix my ps3 easier. Posted by kamiyan89 on April 16th, 2009 at 4:17 pm Comment # 35 How were those art books distributed originally anyway? I never got one even though I had the game pre-ordered at gamestop a while before VC even came out. Maybe they hoarded those for themselves… Anyone know what the file sizes on each DLC pack is? Need to know if I’ll have to clear up some HDD space before buying them or not. Posted by megamixer on April 16th, 2009 at 4:29 pm Comment # 36 I LOVE VALKYRIA CHRONICLES! (damn, i knew i shouldn’t have played right away when the DLC was released and came here first) Posted by Sgt.Leon on April 16th, 2009 at 4:57 pm Comment # 37 I LOVE VALKYRIA CHRONICLES! LOL i cant wait to go home & buy the “Behind Her Blue Flame” DLC. i admit that Selvaria DLC is THE ONLY reason im excited about the DLC.. really want to know more about that lovely silver hair lass THANK YOU SEGA!!!! Posted by Kei-End on April 16th, 2009 at 5:35 pm Comment # 38 Bought all 3 packs. Excellent work!!! Oh, and nice touch adding Fritz as a playable character. Posted by Braccus on April 16th, 2009 at 5:45 pm Comment # 39 I LOVE VALKYRIA CHRONICLES! Posted by Abesolut ZERO on April 16th, 2009 at 6:03 pm Comment # 40 I LOVE VALKYRIA CHRONICLES! Honestly, this is one of my top 5 games I have ever played. Posted by Vennieboy on April 16th, 2009 at 6:45 pm Comment # 41 Hours too late, but it needs saying so we get more DLC and maybe a sequel: I LOVE VALKYRIA CHRONICLES! I’ve tried both the Edy and Selvaria missions and they’re great! I still haven’t tried Hard skirmishes, so you can imagine that Hard EX is gonna take a back seat for now. Once again, FANTASTIC game and DLC! I love how the Extras menu has room for many more DLC. (pleasepleaseplease more DLC!) Posted by Marc C. on April 16th, 2009 at 6:49 pm Comment # 42 I LOVE VALKYRIA CHRONICLES! Can’t wait to try out the new DLC. Thanks for keeping up the support! Posted by Ben S. on April 16th, 2009 at 7:14 pm Comment # 43 I LOVE VALKYRIA CHRONICLES! Now, to get my own PS3. Posted by Sabas on April 16th, 2009 at 7:31 pm Comment # 44 I LOVE VALKYRIA CHRONICLES!!! Seriously, this in one of my favorite games EVER! Thanks for the DLC, and I hope there is more to come. Now, how about a sequel? Please!? This should really be a new franchise. Turn-based strategy may not sell as well as first person shooters here in the US, but the fans are die hard! We want more! Posted by rpboyer on April 16th, 2009 at 7:47 pm Comment # 45 Valkyria Chronicles is an excellent game. I still haven’t finished it, but you’ve gotten me very excited for the Selvaria DLC. Unfortunately, SEGA hasn’t gotten the credit it deserves for such a fantastic game, but I’m sure more and more people are becoming aware of it and will purchase the game. At this point, there’s only one thing missing: TROPHIES! Please, SEGA, do your part to add trophies to Valkyria Chronicles! I know many people who will purchase this game once trophy support become available. I’ve love to PLATINUM it out! Posted by Shqype on April 16th, 2009 at 7:50 pm Comment # 46 I LOVE VALKYRIA CHRONICLES AND FUN DLC! Posted by Andrew Lee on April 16th, 2009 at 7:52 pm Comment # 47 Edy is such a tease! Posted by omo on April 16th, 2009 at 8:11 pm Comment # 48 I love Valkyria Chronicles! Posted by Elden on April 16th, 2009 at 8:26 pm Comment # 49 I love Valkyria Chronicles! Hopefully the info how to get those Valkyria Chronicles figures will come very soon. Posted by Peter on April 16th, 2009 at 10:13 pm Comment # 50 I love Valkyria Chronicles! Posted by Novos on April 16th, 2009 at 10:20 pm Comment # 51 I LOVE VALKYRIA CHRONICLES Late, but still, I do. Bought all 3 packs today and am getting by butt handed to me. Having played the Edy Detachment already, it would be awesome if SEGA continued supporting the game with DLC featuring the other recruits. Great to see a bit more personality on them. Would also love to see a sequel hit the PS3 again in the future. Please don’t let the series sit And I hope to score some of the giveaway content Posted by SlashZaku on April 16th, 2009 at 10:20 pm Comment # 52 I’m so late but I still love Valkyria Chronicles. Posted by Flip on April 16th, 2009 at 11:06 pm Comment # 53 I LOVE VALKYRIA CHRONICLES (Too late, indeed -_-) Posted by Ricciotto on April 17th, 2009 at 12:01 am Comment # 54 I really do LOVE Valkyria Chornicles – the best RPG I already had the chance of know <3 And I’m all for a sequel AND more download content. Would be awesome to play a side mission with Yoko and Largo together lol – the tension between both would be awesome xD Posted by Rot on April 17th, 2009 at 12:37 am Comment # 55 VC is great, but c’mon Sega, give us some trophies! Posted by irktgreat on April 17th, 2009 at 1:59 am Comment # 56 I LOVE VALKYRIA CHRONICLES!!! I LOVE SENJOU NO VALKYRIA!!! I LOVE THE TEAM THAT DEVELOPED SENJOU NO VALKYRIA!!! I LOVE THE GUYS WHO TRANSLATED VALKYRIA CHRONICLES OVERSEAS!!! I LOVE THE VOICE-ACTORS FOR THEIR AMAZING PERFORMANCE IN THE GAME!!! VIVA LA GALLIA!!! Posted by unit0918 on April 17th, 2009 at 2:37 am Comment # 57 I LOVE VALKYRIA CHRONICLES!!!?! The DLC is an amazing add-on, and delivers everything a hardcore fanboy such as myself could want (for a little while, at least!) Should we expect to see more DLC for Valkyria Chronicles in the future? Thanks for the hard work, BTW – you keep writing it, we’ll keep buying it! Posted by Jason C. Kay on April 17th, 2009 at 8:07 am Comment # 58 I LOVE VALKYRIA CHRONICLES! damn wish i had seen this earlier… Posted by snownoodle on April 17th, 2009 at 4:35 pm Comment # 59 Wow. So I just finished Behind the Blue flame, and it was really interesting to find out that there’s an alternate second half to it if you destroy Damon’s tank O_o Really ups the ante for difficulty, but its oh-so-satisfying. Posted by Darkpen on April 17th, 2009 at 5:03 pm Comment # 60 ….wait, reading the actual details on the mission pack, there are things I’ve STILL yet to unlock?! That’s insane Posted by Darkpen on April 17th, 2009 at 5:07 pm Comment # 61 I LOVE VALKYRIA CHRONICLES! WHY DIDN’T I PREORDER BLSBDALDJGHAMNFC Posted by bon on April 18th, 2009 at 7:25 am Comment # 62 If I buy the DLC from the UK PSN Store, will it work with my USA copy of the game? Posted by Just Samurai on April 19th, 2009 at 7:38 am Comment # 63 Great game, Sequal please! Posted by Ryan on April 20th, 2009 at 8:02 pm
