Valkyria Chronicles: Edy Detachment’s Challenge Trailer

A trailer has been released concerning the new Valkyria Chronicles DLC on the topics page for the game.  The trailer gives a bit of information on the 6 new missions given to the player from the Edy Detachment, as well as reveals some combat from each mission.  Here is what I was able to establish by watching it:

• Mega-Tank Battle: This seems to be a mission where the opponent is packing several tanks.  For that reason, Lancers like Largo and Juno appear to be running around the map.  This challenge most likely comes from Jann.
• A Lone Scout’s Reconnaissance:  Scenes from this mission show Alicia in a wilderness environment at night time.  This is most likely Susie’s challenge.
• Sniper Assault on Opposite Shore: This mission shows Marina in a tower position sniping units from a good distance.  This is most likely Marina’s challenge.
• Rescue From Certain Tank Destruction: This battle appears to focus on the Engineer jobclass.  So far it shows the Edelweiss with extensive tread damage and Dallas neutralizing anti-tank mines.  This is most likely Homer’s challenge.
• Shocktrooper Rush!: This mission shows Edy running through a series of other Shocktroopers strategically arranged to do some decent damage.  Also, her Panic potential activates… heh, potential humor.  Not sure if this challenge comes from Edy or Lynn.
• Tank Penetration Battle: For this mission the player appears to use tank rounds to knock down slabs of rock–not sure why.

The trailer also explains that there will be new weapons included in the DLC.  I am not sure if there is one for each jobclass or if earning the new weaponry is dependent on your rank.  In the trailer, the player earned an “S” on the Scout mission which earned them this thingy:

The more I hear about this DLC, the more convinced I am that this is the best one to date.  It’s a close race between this and “Selvaria’s Mission: Behind Her Blue Flame.”  It may be too early to call, since there are still many unknowns with “Edy Detachment’s Challenge.”  When it goes on sale on the 26th in Japan more information should definitely become available.
