NEWS: Valkyria: Azure Revolution Game's Teaser Video Reveals Winter 2016 Release

the small southern European nation of Jutland launched an assault against a base of the Rus Empire, one of the world's great powers. In accordance to its principles, the Rus Empire retaliated with an economic blockade and embargo and in time Jutland was impoverished. Jutland proclaimed "independence and liberation from the colonialism of the great powers" and declared war on the Rus Empire, who employed a Valkyria in its ranks.
The young men and women who participated in what would later be called the "Miraculous War of Liberation" will be judged to be the greatest criminals in history.

not gonna lie, this teaser comparing to the other 3 games from the franchise doesn't look like Valkyria Chronicles anymore.... I mean in the others we saw an army using realistic weapons, tanks and stuff like that. But now, i see two kids wearing weird clothes with gigantic swords in the middle of a war. If i had not seen the woman with grey hair, i would thought this was a new "Tales of" game.

So they are dropping the WWII aesthetic, which is entirely unique and it's own thing in the vast world of RPG games, and going with a much more generic and cookie cutter sword and shield aesthetic? That really really sucks because that WWII setting RPG was something that was entirely it's own that set it apart from pretty much every other RPG out there. Now they are going for what is used by the vast majority of RPG games out there the normal medieval war setting.

If they weren't using same name, it may not have been so bad.

Last I checked this game isn't called

Senjō no Varukyuria (Valkyria of the Battlefield)

It's called

Aoki Kakumei no Varukyuria (Valkyria: Azure Revolution)

That indicates that while this is apart of the Valkyria series it's an offshoot hence the different mechanics and gameplay.

I sort of see your point, but both are titles "Valkyria of the XXX." No, it isn't a numbered sequel, but yes they are using the same "Valkyria" name.

Final Fantasy Dissidia uses the Final Fantasy name and everyone more or less accepts it's existence as a spin-off instead of
"They shouldn't be using Final Fantasy in the title of this game because it plays differently than the traditional games" like what seems to be the case with Azure Revolution.

Really shitty example there. Final Fantasy doesn't have a standardized gameplay mechanic even among just the primary numbered titles.

They've got action, mmo,

So obviously no one would expect Dissidia to play like 'traditional games' because there isn't a specific way traditional final fantasy games play.
