Valkyria Chronicles [Let's Play] - 41 - Shadows of the Valkyrur
"We donned the identity of our masters and were complacent in the Darcsen slander. Were it not for a single officer's words, I would no doubt still be lost in this conceit." -- Princess Cordelia
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.

Maximilian finally invades the Gallian capital, the palace of House Rangridz. After he insults the traitor of the gallian side who provided him with info, he demands the princess Cordelia offers her Valkyrian Bloodline to him.
Interestingly, the princess Cordelia reveals that she's not of a Valkyrian descent... She's a Darcsen, a decendant of the darcsens who allied with the Valkyrur, and were blamed for the scorching of the land...
A HUGE LORE DROP!!
I did not see this coming, yet as soon as it happened I was "Wow, that's amazing, and... It makes sense!"
Nonetheless, Maximilian still goes through with his plan. After all, he has the Valkof, the strongest weapon of mass destruction in history! Things are getting intense!!
P.S.: I love how Maximilian speaks in the royal "We."
