Story:
The game is set in a fictional version of Europe in 1930, in the country of Gallia. Because of its abundance of ragnite oreâ€"which can be refined into a powerful fuelâ€"it has come under attack from the East Europan Imperial Alliance, which itself is engaged in war with the Atlantic Federation. Players take control of an uprising of Gallian nationals, dedicated to repelling the invasion. The game's visuals, which feature SEGA's CANVAS graphics engine, have received a lot of attention - with CANVAS, the game's entire graphical style is built to resemble a watercolor painting in motion.
Gameplay:
Valkyria Chronicles features a unique turn-based battle system called BLiTZ (Battle of Live Tactical Zones). In-between turns the player is treated to an overhead map view, Command Mode, but zooms in to control each individual unit on the battlefield during Action Mode. Movement and other actions are handled in real time during Action Mode, though limited by an AP gauge that varies for each character. This gauge can recharge even during the same turn as you operate other characters. Additionally, the player is in direct control of characters' aim during Target Mode, allowing for head-shots and other advantages. Taking command of individual units during the player's phase costs Command Points, which can be utilized dynamically to either grant movement to many different units or the same unit consecutively depending on what the player wants to accomplish.
Anyone played or heard of this game. It came out about a month ago but i only recently started playing it. Gameplay would be the best about the game and the story is enough to keep you entertained.

Also, BLiTZ is a worse acronym than FOE, like, seriously.
Hahaha! Yeah, terribly forced acronyms aside this game is really fun! Any fan of tactic based games will pretty much enjoy VC. The art direction is really beautiful to see in motion, however you have to be able to at least tolerate anime.
If anyone has a PS3 I'd recommend downloading the demo off of PSN if you haven't all ready. =D
PS: Go Fluvians!
