Valkyria Chronicles [Let's Play] - 24 - Feast of Spirits
"We may have had our share of disagreements, but you've helped me more than I can say. I'd like to use the Feast as an opportunity to grow a little closer to both of you." -- Isara Gunther
Valkyria Chronicles is a Turn-Based Strategy game set in a fantasy world based on World War II. The story follows Squad 7 of the Gallian Army, as they push back against the Empire threatening to invade their land. It's an anime-style war story, with a lot of heart!
I love this game's presentation. The storybook frame around every scene, the water-colors filter on top of 3D models. The way the story is predented if it's a History Book! It's originally a PS3 game, but it has better animations & presentations compared to modern games in 2025. Playing it is a treat for me, and I hope watching my playthrough would be a treat for you too.

This chapter is very interesting. It starts with Squad 7 being given a mission to capture one of the enemy bases, but it's a wide area, there are no cover in sight, and the enemy has Gatling guns faced towards the entrance. It was basically a suicide mission!
Luckily, Isara figures a way to help the Squad move without being seen...
Aroud the same time, the "Feast of Spirits" started, and to me it sounds like an Eid. Every person gives the people they like a gift, and there was a cute scene in which Alicia goes Bug Hunting for Welkin. Luv 't so muuuch!~
Isara gives handmade dolls for both Largo and Rosie. Rosie did not accept it because of her prejudice against Darcsens. I love Isara's optimism and wanting to change things...
Anyway, the battle wasn't as easy as I expected. It took me a bit to realize how I should navigate it, so I'll try again next time.

Isara offering those handmade dolls and still staying kind after Rosie's cold shoulder really hits. It makes the Feast feel even more like Eid, where a small gift can carry a lot of meaning. With that sneaky movement solution, did you change your opening lineup or keep scouts up front?
I regularly change my lineup between missions if that's what you're asking.
Same here. I shuffle the squad based on terrain and potentials, then adjust if a map surprises me. Marberry Shore really rewarded stealth and accuracy, so Isara and the calmer scouts got more time. Which traits top your list when you switch?
I don't really care about traits, at least in this playthrough. If I did "Everyone lives" run in the future, I'll care more about them.
Totally fair for this run. When you go for an everyone-lives run, matching potentials to the map and pairing soldiers who like each other really smooths things out under crossfire. Dodging bad terrain quirks and allergy-type negatives alone can stop those surprise retreats. With the right mix, even open fields feel a lot less scary.
Yup, I just didn't realize its importance at the start, and didn't care about it after...
Damn, I love this game!
