Valkyria Chronicles II! I'm mad about this video game. This beautiful, vastly underappreciated video game that changed my life.
But yeah, I did care extremely about the characters, fell in love with one of them (Anisette!
)
and over three and a half years I've collected anything I have found about it, especially fan art. Lots of fan art, even though this game is not the most famous and mostly people who talk about it say stuff like, "Why couldn't it be on the PS3, boo hoo," and whatnot. I've also collected soundtracks, bought the Japanese version of the game just for the heck of owning it and I wished desperately that the mangas would get localized (and to my joy, the Aliasse's Blue Flame manga got a fan translation).
I used to talk about it all the time on GameSpot and it became so that whenever someone mentioned the Valkyria Chronicles series I'd get mentioned alongside almost every time. An epic, amazing, moving, addicting game. I can't count the number of times I've played it through and I've never gotten even slightly tired of it.
