I’m a bit cross that the pre-order bonus missions are not exclusive. If I would have known that would be the case I would have purchased directly from PSN so I could play on my new PSPGo instead of having to fiddle with my original-run PSP and its fussy, drifty analogue stick. (Not to mention I’m not a big fan of Gamestop, but that is an improper discussion for here)

Thanks, I’m sure the value for the DLC will be worth it.

The only thing that saddens me is that Ramal doesn’t seem to be in the game. In the JAP release he is under Isara’s “Likes” list. But in our NA release Isara’s “Likes” list ends with Welkin…

So sad he was a great character in the anime, and I was planning to make him my #1 Shocktrooper.

Thank you for the wonderful Blitz! This is fanservice of the sort that makes people PROUD of the product, not ashamed like most fanservice.

I’m glad I saved some money, now I can buy the DLC pack!

Though I’m also kinda sad to see this end, I hope you do something like this when VC3 is released!

Of course they’ll do something like this when VC3 comes. That’s unquestionable!

Normally I’m against paid DLC but 5$ is a good value for 22 missions. Thanks for the price drop!

It’s sad to see this end, but as we all know that it would have eventually have came to this day. Sega and RubyEclipse, have been great at keeping us updated with the codes they were able to give us, as well as keeping us updated on the new missions that will be available for download. You guys have been great, and I truly appreciate all the hard work put into what you guys have done for us. I thank you and am looking forward to the final release tomorrow.

Cheers for all the codes Sega/RubyEclipse, it’s been great knowing when I get home from work there will be more VC goodies waiting for me to unlock.

I’ve got a question about the DLC. Will it be coming to Europe this week as well? I’m really looking forward to it.

Thanks again.

Thank you for the codes.

I have a question, so are the alternative costumes for the characters if the timeline was different? (like [spoiler] never dying, Cosette’s parents never died and Ali was still part of the test subject?)

Just wondering as I thought the codes simply “unlocked” another class for the existing character instead of create a copy of said character. XD

Either way, it’s been good, hope you keep it up in future games!

@RubyEclipse.

I understand the point about the pre-order people getting access to two of the missions early, but I wish that It was made clearer that the two missions were not exclusive and that they were instead labeled Early Access or sampler missions from the upcoming DLC, or anything that would have let me, as a consumer make a better informed decision. I like the game, and still would have bought it as a day-1 release but in the end I would have been even happier with the digital version instead of the UMD and I hope that for future SEGA releases it is made clearer when a pre-order bonus is early access rather than an exclusive.

That’s really great news RubyEclipse! Please keep us informed as to whether or not there are more secrets beyond the final codes today. Even though today is the last day for Community BLiTZ, is it the last blog post we’ll see for VC2?

Hey Ruby while you’re checking on that. let us know if some of the bonus characters got cut.

Comment # 39

The last BLiTZ is up on the Playstation Blog: http://blog.us.playstation.com/

It looks like the anime and manga character really were cut. -_- We just got a bunch of stickers for the finale and the PSP2 character that’s also obtainable from having the PSP2 save file…

Posted by Shinobi on September 28th, 2010 at 1:12 pm

Comment # 41

Indeed Dust. It seems like it would be more work on their part to remove characters rather than just keep them in. If I had to choose between having all the characters the Japanese version had and getting exclusive tank stickers, I would have to pick the characters. Tanks stickers aren’t a substitute for characters. I hope someone explains why the characters were removed. I would understand if it has to do with licensing issues with having anime and manga characters that didn’t appear in the US in the US version. Hopefully Ruby can shed some light on this.

man that sucks, id rather have more chars then tank stickers, they are kinda pointless

Despite the negativity that’s been popping up due to the confusion around the possibility of removed characters, I do want to say that you guys at Sega really did a spectacular job with the localization of VC2. This is most I have seen a video game company reach out to the community and keep them engaged. It’s amazing that RubyEclipse takes the time to respond to comments and that ValkyriaTribune responds via Twitter. Seeing the effort Sega has put into involving the community in this and with Sonic 4 has rekindled my faith in Sega and I will be sticking around to post on the blog from now on.

Yeah… Was noticing that the Lotte Extra #22 image didn’t have a code on it. That and they didn’t even include the 18-21 images in-line on the post…

Eh part of my post got cut off… The above should start with “It’s”

Posted by Shinobi on September 28th, 2010 at 2:41 pm

Comment # 51

I won’t give up hope until it is confirmed or not by Ruby, and I agree that they did above and beyond what I was expecting in the localization dept. Really overall great job. Love the voiceover work too as I’ve said before. I know the characters still have a possibility of being in its just after getting burned so bad on Yakuza 3 it’s kinda hard to keep up hope that nothing was cut.

But who knows maybe they’ll announce the anime and manga for a US release and give us the characters as free DLC. I’d love that

Posted by Dust on September 28th, 2010 at 3:43 pm

Comment # 53

I got some responses over at the Sony Blog. Pretty much it says that the anime and manga characters were localized and playable in an early version of the game. So unless they were removed at the last minute, they’re still in.

Posted by Shinobi on September 28th, 2010 at 4:03 pm

Comment # 55

Here’s what’s been on my mind recently. If in the Japanese version of VCII they have all these additional codes for characters that we have not seen yet in the US version, there’s a possibility that they are in the US Version as we speak, just the code has not been found. Technically it would be more of a hassle to have taken the characters out of the game when transferring it to the US, especially since the US version is already out and that we get the codes that have been unlocked. All we have to do is try out different codes to see what other secrets are left in the game. RubyEclipse and Sega have been a great help in finding the codes out for us and even though this is the last Blitz for the codes, it doesn’t mean that everything is done yet for VCII. Each code has 16 characters, the only thing is what characters make up an actual successful secret. I appreciate all the help from you guys, and now I guess I will try to figure some out on my own, which if I successfully do, I will share will all of you. Thanx RubyEclipse and Sega for all your help.

Again. Thanks for all the work in bringing this over to us. The VC2 support has been great. I bought the DLC as soon as I got home. Very well worth the money. Can’t wait for more localization efforts as well as Sonic Colors.

So no idea on how to get Ramal and Alicia?Could this mean Sega in Europe and NA doesn’t have these characters in the game?

As Shinobi said…The japanese version has all those characters,and we’ll never get them?I hope someone in charge could clarify if they’ll be DLC or something someday,or we’ll never get the chance to acquire them…Which would be a shame.

I’ve rebought the game on PSN so I can play it on a Go. Should I do the data install or not? I’m assuming no since It is allready reading from memory, but I would appreciate it if a Sega rep could confirm for me which is the optimal way to go.
