At least on the European (Europan? ;) ) PSN
Selveria's Mission (Game Pack) £3.19 ($5)
Edy's Mission (Game Pack) £3.19 ($5)
Hard Ex Mode £3.19 ($5)
All separate, no discount for buying all three. 2 maps and a difficulty mode for $15 is very hard to swallow, even though I love VC to death. It's just that it all adds up if you want it all. 1 mission, 5 dollars? I was hoping for a chapter with a couple of missions..
Valkyria Chronicles
Game » consists of 13 releases. Released Apr 22, 2008
A turn-based tactics game with real-time elements, that tells the story of Squad 7 as they rally together to fight for the freedom of their country, Gallia.
DLC is out, and it's expensive!
I'm not sure I'll buy the missions. The Edy one is just completely random, and the Selvaria one seems awesome until you find out it's played on the same map as another mission :/ The Hard Ex mode seems pretty sweet though, even if it is only another difficulty.
W/e, I won't feel too bad dishing out to support such an amazing product.
"Damn, they pulled a Capcom."Only if the content is a few megabytes. Otherwise, I'm all for spending another $15 on this game.
Great.
I realize the game didn't perform too well at retail, but that's no reason to screw over the people who actually did buy it. $10 for everything would be tolerable, even with most sites reporting that the DLC would be $5 - which we all assumed would be for everything.
It wasn't $15 on the Japanese store back when it came out, was it?

The Edy mission is on an existing map as well (the Vegetable Route Incident or whatever), and it's probably the smallest map in the entire game.
I really wish it didn't end up this way, but the pricing has made sure that I won't be buying a single piece of this DLC despite my Valkyria love.

Fortunately, they were all only a dollar. $5 for a difficulty level is really pushing it, I'd say.
"The game does have a hard mode. This is just an even harder mode. Not that this makes the price fair, just wanted to be clear.lulz, PSN milkagez. Blue Dragonz has a hardz mode for freez

"I just saw other people confirming that it was cheaper in Japan. It seems it was around $10 for everything (which I still consider to be a little too expensive, to be honest). These are simples missions, not entire campaigns. It's a shame, but I wont be buying this.Great.
