3/9-10 Download Content

Coming up next Wednesday and Thursday are a new batch of download items and missions. The download items are all from VC3. The regular download mission will be released on the ninth and the rest will be available on the 10th. Until there's some more information about the download mission, I wouldn't expect too much out of it yet.

EDIT: Next Tuesday will also see the release of passwords for the Rin Ren Steamroller knuckles and Luka's Tuna sword.

Valkyria Chronicles clothes and weapons, huh.

VC3 has the return of the Valkyries? Also, who's using Riela's weapons now, and if so what about Alicia's?

So the Blade-grenade is called Varl, eh? Just another reason to cough up $70 for a bloody 5000 card for the game and that weapon. If I had the money, that is. :-(

I think it's called Varl. I'm not sure what the official name is. You're paying too much for that 5000 yen card though :\

It's a grand total of 2600 yen for everything here, (assuming they're still charging parts and clothes separately) not even counting 800 yen total to get the complete Mode : Noir set + saber. It's quite ridiculous pricing for something that's an internal Sega collab seeing as it's half the price of the PSP game itself when put together.

Gonna pass on this, unless prices drop drastically or they release a "buy all for this price" deal. If they release a VC 1 Alicia Repca, that's another question though.

@Mike: That's just the high exchange rates talking there. Can't be helped for all of us outside of Japan. ^_^

@Wayu: VC3 is about a group of soldiers who are basically outcasts - prisoners, misfits, etc. One of these happens to be a Valkyria, and she makes pretty liberal use of her powers (can be activated at the cost of Command Points) compared to VC1 and 2. Also, ever since VC2, Sega seems intent on having new valkyries keep popping up despite them being supposedly extinct.

Ah, I remember that spear and shield from PSZ. Also, I love the second female outfit. It would be perfect for Celis. Shame US probably won't get it.

All three of those outfits are AWESOME!! The second one is pretty sexy, in a "hey everything is still covered up" way, which is nice.

I assume the only way other people can see this stuff, is if they also bought it?
Mar 4, 2011, 07:26 PM
RenzokukenZ

Pretty much. So while you're sporting this cool outfit, everyone else who didn't buy it would see you with generic clothing. At least you can take screenshots in case someone thinks you're lying lol

That weapon and shield technically didn't exist at the time of PSZ, seeing as it's from VC3 which was released last month. The one in PSZ is a generic one based on the mythos around the Valkyries.

Probably related text to VC3, "Nameless 422" or something.

These outfits are cool/different looking and all...
(finally female outfit that looks different/interesting/is made with pants) But I was rather under the impression that people want to get cool weps & wear cool clothes SO THAT they can front them in the game. I mean, don't you want to look cool? (I could be wrong!)

Isn't owning something that only you can see about as cool as having an invisible /imaginary friend? ESPECIALLY when you can't even type to yell out that you're currently sporting the latest ___ outfit? Is this a case of the Emperors' new Clothes? (Spoiler: he was naked)

Ok so if showing off to everyone in the game/looking cool is NOT the goal...then what is?
Taking screenshots of yourself and posting them somewhere?
Paying 200 yen to take a screencap?
Self-vanity where you don't care that everyone else sees you looking like a hobo, but secretly you're in one of these 'new tuxes'?
Doing wild damage with the most boring (looking) wep ever because only you see it?

I mean, I understand WHY they have to make it that way: people would simply hax it all out if it was already there...but I am genuinely curious as to what good it does people. (unless the entire game culture there is based off of everyone buying every single thing they offer, all the time--I don't know how popular any of that add-on stuff is)

They must have had cases where groups would buy specific outfits so everyone could see it, but this is a major gripe for those of us buying the outfits. Personally, the end result is that I am very picky when buying DLC items, even with their little sale running now for older DLC.

Because of this, I hardly buy weapons because I find them useful only for having an unlimited supply of newbie weapons.

I assume they must have made a fairly handsome profit in the domestic market, which would explain why they are now trying to double dip with their other Sega properties.

Probably say "Dry clean only".

Seriously, the first 2 outfit looks really cool. Are there any color variations for dlc outfits? I wish Sega would also add that if they ever release infinity outside japan.

And this is relevant how?

Anyways, I will be the sucker and get the outfits and weapons because again, the collectionist in me demands to get all the goodies. Damn you once more for this, SEGA.

Ooft, wanted this sword/grenade combo ever since I saw the preview pic you posted ages ago...
And it reminds me of Gunlances from Monster Hunter ^^

Does it have a special visual effect when you swing it?

Damn FemBots will probably be able to change the colors on those as well. I really don't want to use my CAST just for a color change.
Mar 5, 2011, 08:53 PM
Crystal_Shard

Casts don't always get that option - the Santa Dress and Mode : Noir keep their fixed colours even if it clashes with your actual colour scheme. These are likely the same.
Mar 5, 2011, 09:31 PM
Ceresa

The pantsu on the santa dress change colors for cast females, pretty unfair really.
Mar 5, 2011, 11:24 PM
Crystal_Shard

Hmm. In that case, it appears that the PSPo2/i costume team are openly declaring themselves as cast supremacists!

On another point Ceresa, it's probably best never to reveal how many times you've made your poor female cast bend over in search of the truth. ^_^

you know, AzureBlaze brought up a good point. why download DLC if you have to have it to see it? that's why i like DLC that you pay for that has a free version that allows you to SEE the content, but not use it yourself.

...i am aware of the issues with such a system for PSPo2/i, and i have a response to it. the issue, is that if there was a visual version that lets you see, but not use the DLC items, well, then usually the simple way of doing such a DLC is tweak it to add the items to the game coding, but not give you them in the game. which is why a PSPo2/i style version would have the 'visual-adding free version' have the visuals of the item added only. not the item directly.

it might be alittle extra work to get the game to be able to see what people are using the DLC outfit or weapons, and show them as they actually are without risking one hacking to get them...but in the end, better for all. people with the stuff can use it, people without can see it, and nobody can just hack for it. maybe as a backup measure, make it so if one does try to hack the visual-adding free version of 'pay to get' DLC to get the items, and succeeds, the game will detect this and stop the game from loading? i dunno. not sure such an idea is possible, but if so, Sega could go one step closer to redeeming itsself by doing this.

Female Casts already don't get enough parts, compared to the massive wardrobe available to the other races. Shame shame. I like the 2nd one, though.

Well, all the download content seems to be out today. The Puyo Puyo mission is linked to a Japanese cell phone website so unless you can connect to the website it lists in the mission some way, you're out of luck.
Mar 9, 2011, 03:44 AM
Crystal_Shard

What do you mean? As in you can download the mission and play it, but to make use of the rewards you must have access to the website in question?

That's correct. And it's more of a trade mission than a regular mission. I've tried spoofing my user agent with a few browsers to see if I couldn't get my PC to connect to the site you need to connect to for this mission to work but I'm either not doing something correctly or the site is down.
Mar 9, 2011, 05:53 AM
Crystal_Shard

Hmph. Well, if it's only Puyo related stuff, I suppose nothing much lost.
Mar 9, 2011, 06:30 AM
Mike

Supposedly all the stuff from this mission is only room decorations so there's nothing much being lost (or gained). I'm still looking for a way to connect via PC though.

EDIT: I'm out of options. Someone with a better head for proxies and the like will have to figure it out.

I can't remember the program name I used as it's been a few years, but when I was playing the [fully JP only] PC monster hunter MMO, I used a program that fully changed my IP etc to that of a JP area one for a while. Have you tried something like that yet? [if already in japan and on a JP purchased ISP etc you should be fine though..]
Mar 9, 2011, 07:46 AM
Mike

Best I can figure out is that the puyosega.com site doesn't accept connections from IPs outside of the range used by standard Japanese cell phones so just any old proxy probably won't work.

Don't suppose trying to access it on your PSP browser will help much?

What about the sub domain http://pc.puyosega.com . There is a questionaire on there about puyopuyo, does that have anything to do with it?

Actually, looking at the bottom of the main site it says something about the webpage and needing the QR barcode to access it:

※URL（http://puyosega.com）及びQRコードからもアクセス可能です。

http://sega.jp/kt/info/puyosega/images/puyosega_qr.gif

And here is some information on how to read QR codes on your PC (I am at work so cant install any of the apps to test it out):
http://techie-buzz.com/softwares/rea...des-on-pc.html

Actually, I just realised there is a no-install version of bcTester, I'll give it a whirl.

Well, all that told me was http://puyosega.com/ LOL, this is fun

Nope. It's not the browser's user agent info that's important but the IP address. I've fiddled with trying to make the user agent in to displaying itself as a cell phone. It works on other sites, but not the Sega one.

Sure it's only Puyo Puyo themed room decorations, but I could have a field day with a room filled with Puyo chairs!

Though nothing could compare to if I could get an Opa Opa shaped bed. Maybe a 16t weight table, too...

Well, since I couldn't figure out how to work this out, I asked a friend to register for me and can now pull out infinite amounts of Puyo Puyo Chairs now.
