Hey,
I've never met another person who's played this game, which is pretty heart-breaking, cause as soon as the intro cinematic started playing, I knew this was gonna be a phenomenal game.
It really is great, and I could rant about it forever, but before I do, has anyone else here played it? (I know there's an anime of it too, but the anime changed so much that I couldn't get into it.)

VALKYRIA CHRONCLES FOR THE MOTHERFUCKING WIN!
I know a couple people in club who have played it and one other who has beat it.
My Code Geass/Valkyria Chronicles rant.
[spoiler=The Plot of Code Geass Valkyiria Chrinicles]
Britannia The East Europan Imperial Alliance invades the country of Japan Galia because it needs the sakuradite ragnite to fuel it's Knightmare Frames tanks and take over the rest of the world Europa.
The emperor of Britannia the East Europan Imperial Alliance sends his son Lelouch Vi Britannia Maximilian Gaius Von Reginrave to Japan Galia. Lelouch Maximilian's mother was a commoner who he believes was killed by the imperial family because of her status. Lelouch Maximilian then meets a witch Valkyria who later gives him the power of geass the Valkyria so he can take over Britannia the empire and kill his father.
By using subsequently stronger Kinghtmares tanks, the rebels militia and Britannia the empire wage war in Japan Galia. The Black Knights Squad 7 ultimately turns the tables on Britannia the empire by using the power of geass their own Valkyria. However the empire acquires the F.L.E.I.J.A. missile the giant lance and attaches it to the flying fortress Damocles the giant tank Marmmota in order to take control of the World. By the power of love, patriotism, and friendship, the Black Kights Squad 7 is able to destroy Damocles the Marmmota but are about to be defeated by Lelouch and his geass Maximilian and his Valkyria powers. In the end Suzaku Faldio sacrifices himself to kill Lelouch Maximilian and save the world.
The End.[/spoiler]
Also Lelouch's voice actor (FUKUYAMA JUN!!!) is Maximilian's VA, and Suzaku's is Faldio's.
On an unrelated note, Xing Ke's VA is the crowned prince's VA (Maximilan's half-borther) in the anime.
Oh and the medic symbol is the code/geass symbol.
*Goes back to playing Valkyria Chronicles 2*

I played through it a couple times, but I played through it using my head, and not really playing the levels. You know Alicia can basically just run through every level by herself? I figured it out at the beginning, but eventually I was running every mission just using orders and Alicia. Anyway, the game is fucking awesome, and the anime was a little weird and I never finished it.
Greeeaattt fucking game though, it's in my PS3 right now.

Woah, that's awesome that you guys have played it. I'm glad - it's such a good game, but it's sales were pretty weak (I have no idea why, probably marketing fail?)
And yeah, Alicia was BA, although my personal favorite was Homer. I have no idea why - I don't even think he was the best engineer, statistically. It was just so baller having this little masochistic 15 year old running around killing everything.
I didn't even realize VC 2 was out yet - that's another game added to my now-massive list of "must play a.s.a.p." titles. @_@

yeah, VC2 is a PSP thing
Anyway, about the character selection, I always ended up just having a little army made up almost entirely of women. All female scouts (scouts are the most OP characters in that game), all female engies and snipers, all female assault, and besides largo, the two good female lancers.
Basically since there was no difference between guys and girls in that game, I just made a wonderful little harem. lol... also, the sales were most likely weak because of the "anime" effect, since the game looked so much like an anime, the casuals were scared off despite good reviews.
