Sega has just recently announced a new video of Valkyria Chronicles as well as (the more exciting news) a playable demo coming to Qore on October 9th. This is fantastic news for those of us who are anticipating the game and just aren't patient enough for the full release. Hopefully this gives this gets more people excited for the game who perhaps would not have thought to try it without a demo.
PSBlog Writes: "Jeff invited me to do a little guest blog post to let you know about the upcoming Valkyria Chronicles pre-release event later this week. The game is looking great (see the trailer below so you know what I'm talking about), and I'm really excited about this event because it's such a special treat."
Sega Blog: Valkyria Chronicles enthusiasts and fans - and people who like free stuff - listen up! Next Friday, SEGA will be holding an exclusive Valkyria Chronicles event at the Sony Playstation store inside the Metreon in San Francisco! Here's the scoop:
Sega sent over a friendly reminder that Valkyria Chronicles has an official release date. We'll get a chance to pick up in English on November 11. Spencer of Siliconera spoke with Christopher Kaminski, Associate Producer of Valkyria Chronicles, to find out if the downloadble content recently released in Japan would find its way to North America. He replied with, "No comment yet." Kaminski confirmed the content will not be on the retail disc though when he answered Spencer's follow up question with, "No, that content won't be on the disc." Valkyria Chronicles won't have any localization differences either. "We translated it directly. We wanted to stay true to the original. As a matter of fact we keep the original Japanese in there."

There will be over 100 customizable characters that can join Welkin's force, and, thanks to the BLiTZ tactical battle system, you can control their real-time actions in addition to issuing standard tactical commands.
