Context: Sony reverted their decision on requiring PC players of Helldivers to make a PSN account to play the game.

If the automaton taught us anything, it's that this victory is only temporary, be wary.

    I think that's all the characters now. I don't recognize the cat-like thing on Gehrman's lap, and there's a figure with grey skin and hair behind it that seems to be holding the MLGS. Possibly a human Ludwig, but I'd be hesitant to tag him.

    Just glanced at this again and noticed that the Bloody Crow is fighting an animalized Eileen.

    The thing on Gehrman's lap seems to be a horned beast breathing fire โ€” likely Laurence, which leads me to believe the one behind him to indeed be Ludwig by association, not so unlike the animalized Eileen. Still, I'm not sure they should be tagged either.

    Leaving aside the fact that the artwork isn't even up to his usual standards, the art style quite simply just does not fit with the rest of the game. Kind of like how putting a white sci-fi laser gun in WWII shooter just isn't kosher but Valkyria Chronicles can get away with all the shit it pulls.

    Well, Valkyria Chronicles isn't World War 2, since it's not on earth, or at least not this earth.

    People really have trouble grasping that Valkyria Chronicles isn't trying to be a historical fiction. It's like if people thought Fire Emblem: Path of Radiance was about the Crimean War because the starting country is called Crimea.

    No, it's a World War 2-style setting with the addition of magic. Honestly, I probably would have used Dino D-Day instead but I was concerned that no one would recognize or even agree with the reference.

    Oy, just because its in a style you don't like you don't have to call the legend they got to do it incompetent.

    The art looks incomplete and bad. It looks like examples of peoples early artwork when they are still developing their skills or when people take shortcuts. The people at the company shoupd not have accepted it as a final piece.

    So it's Unryuu all over again.
