Valkyria Chronicles 4 - Raz's Sacrifice

[@azurestarseliph5926]

WASN'T ISARA ENOUGH SEGA?!

[@joniden2215]

I KNOW RIGHT?!?!

[@nathandamaren2093]

Still debating which death was more sad.

[@Averi0]

Isara had a shock factor. Raz had an anticipation factor. Both are equally sad, Isara being well-developed and about to build new relations only to be shot, while you knew that Raz was going on a suicide mission. To add on to Raz's death, they even have you send in a partner for his suicide mission.

[@dezzebotwahe240]

Man this was an emotional moment. Claude emotional but Raz doesn't show his own fear and feelings. He did this for his friend and squad. Raz offered himself and knew he would die. I didn't actually think they would kill off a main character. But this gives much more weight to the game.

Technically all of Squad E are Spartans. They all completed Ranger Training, which is said to be so difficult it makes the Drill Instructor from VC1 look like the Aged Gentleman.

[@TheGlamourNazi]

Honestly one of the greatest heroic sacrifices in ALL media history. Movies, shows, games. All of it. I thought Isara hit me hard but it just came out of nowhere. This one built up. Ordering someone to go out with him as well. Swear up a storm in hell, my glorious darcsen bastard. You deserve the title of big damn hero.

I like it when each time you do this mission it starts with him walking out. Also, during the unit placing, each member had their own unique saying.

i do like that, but really it just makes things worse to me, after finishing some of the squad missions and getting close to the cast just hurts. characters like Neige (just really love her personality) pains me to see go.

[@misterpayah7723]

I used Raz all the time too. I think it’s great game design that they made Raz so useful so the player really feels the emptiness his death leaves behind through gameplay. Every time you need a good shocktrooper to get shit done, you will be reminded that he’s gone.

[@Barakeh]

I found myself in several missions sending Raz forward to cover ground and bust some Imps with Kai/Leena closely behind covering his ass, these moments ran during my head in Raz's final moments

[@BrownRoach]

Hearing kai cry for raz in the end... hit me gld damn hard man.

[@knox7945]

The Japanese one was even more gut wrenching as the tone of the actress' line delivered quite well as you can hear the pain in her voice. This is Kai after all, the one who's usually the bad ass stoic type, but if someone important to her is gone, she'll bawl out.

[@Klatenbach]

What Claude is experiencing is the burden of command, it rests on his shoulders and his alone. With command comes the very real possibility of ordering your subordinates to their deaths. Its a shitty decision, but in the end, someone has to make it.

[@TheLunarLegend]

[@kalebcartier5474]

I was hoping they would find Raz at a POW camp and they could all survive the war, this being his actual death hit me pretty hard, since he's my favorite

[@lVicel]

Maybe my opinion is not so good, but Raz's Death Chapter is much better than Isara's in every way; The player not only knows that when the Chapter ends he will lose a Character that he likes, but that he also has to give up another Character to advance, just as if it were a real war where he has to make sacrifices to win. Although Isara's painful one, they do not put a lot of emphasis on her death once the Chapter ends, besides that it was extremely sudden (I mean, SPOILER: Dying because an enemy soldier crossed your lines of defense despite the fact that You already won that battle, it's pretty much like a slap)

[@misterpayah7723]

Agree completely. Isara’s death is very high regarded by most players but honestly it did not do much for me. As you said, the buildup for Isara was pretty weak and her death rather sudden. Raz’s death was extremely powerful, respectful toward his character, and moved the plot forward in a way only Raz could have done. Raz also is an indispensable unit in his own right while Isara’s death is not really felt through gameplay, someone just replaces her to pilot the tank.

[@Nasfelia]

@@misterpayah7723 Well, I think the lack of... "theatrics" and the sudden death of Isara is its strongest point, precisely because in war, death can come at any moment, in the most absurd and tragic way. That said, the follow up was indeed a bit weak (it was in fact better handled in the anime, IMO). Raz's death is certainly a more classic one but it's great to me because of the character. Raz was a great character, most loyal to his comrades and ideals, the only one who actually weighted the moral implications behind the ship's dilemma, so seeing him die is a bit like seeing the just, the worthy, die, as is often the case on the battlefield. That, in my opinion, is why his death hit so hard.

[@windwaker0rules]

The anime version of Isara is a bit better just because of the crying scene

[@juliansenni6279]

​@@windwaker0rulestrue, there's much more emphasis on how Welkin was affected by everything. How he became unusually cold and inexpressive. But I think I might've cried as much at Faldio's death. He was my favourite man.

[@timtam0337]

At 16:26 you could tell forseti was also affected as a hint of sadness appeared on his face as he was listening. Man that got me the most. Even though he joined the empire and went up against his childhood friends, deep down he stilled care for them.

[@agentc7020]

Even if he cared for them he is still responsable for his death, I don’t care how he felt because his actions were the worst even if it was for a good cause

[@X1erra]

If it's a suicide mission, someone just have to do it... and it's never an easy decision. :(

[@aconfusedcomputer1072]

I'm not crying, YOU'RE CRYING

[@ArchmageOfAnarchy]

Just saying, while its incredibly sad and Raz went out a hero, I did love how you can bring him back by following a special criteria, where he appears, salutes you and goes "Told you I was invincible." Like "FUCKING DAMN IT YOU MADE ME CRY WELCOME BACK HERO!"

[@ptrckcjmdn]

Zaiga sounds like a fitting choice to die with Raz the first time but think about this: Zaiga volunteers but Keigel cuts him off and volunteers himself, saying he will not let the young ones sacrifice themselves for him or for anyone. Zaiga insists, determined to follow Raz anywhere even to death, but Raz gives him a bro hug and thanks him for always backing him up but this time, he wants Zaiga to not do that. He then leaves with Keigel, with Zaiga joining the distraction team instead, so in a sense, he's still fighting alongside his bro for his final mission. Ryan and Ronald joins the distraction team as well, thinking of it as a sendoff to their comrade. Gertrude, relieved that Zaiga will stay, also joins the team and asks Vancey to join them too. Vancey tells her that she almost volunteered to join Raz but Keigel beat her to it. Keigel died to let Raz proceed to their goal. He died with a smile knowing he'll be reunited with his son. Raz died shortly after destroying the generator, becoming a hero. Zaiga, remembering how Raz was always the one backing him up and not the other way around (recollecting his Squad Story), was devastated that he was unable to actually back him up. Gertrude and Vancey approaches him while Ronald and Ryan joins them not a minute later, sharing a toast. A letter of gratitude was found on Keigel's stuff. It's a letter from one of the recruits he trained as a drill sergeant who, in my head canon, is a Darcsen. Futher explaining why he'd be glad to die with Raz and save Zaiga's life.

[@GFMarine]

Man that's super similar to how I envisioned that situation going down, but I liked to think that Zaiga being hard headed, would argue with Raz about being denied his moment to help his idol in a life or death situation, but then be knocked out cold by Raz since he didn't want Zaiga to give his life away after Zaiga essentially became Raz's successor, Vancey would then try to speak up to volunteer but be cut off by Kiegel at the end, or atleast that's how I like to headcannon that situation, I haven't watched or played this game since I beat it ywars ago, and while I know this post is old, I thought it was pretty cool seeing that someone else had a very similar idea.

[@michaeledmunds7056]

F. Great, great game. I'm glad they went back to the essence of the franchise, the first game. I didn't play VC3, but even though I enjoyed VC2, it just didn't capture these sad, dreadful yet epic moments like the first game. This last installment has. Thanks, Sega, for my best game of the year.

[@Nasfelia]

You should try VC 3, if you manage to find the english fan-translated version (you can try Romstation for that). It is in my opinion, one of the best in the serie, alongside the first, and now, the 4th Valkyria. It had excellent characters, an excellent story following a squad of dead-men walking, sent to the battlefield to die because they were all considered criminals. It really is an excellent game. The weakest of the serie definitely was the second one in my opinion, but I wouldn't say it was a bad game. Baldren was an interesting antagonist with fair points about the future of Gallia. Ah, and obviously, I won't talk about "that" game. It doesn't exist in my eyes. Anyway, if you can try Valkyria 3, do it. It's awesome, despite the limitations of the psp. And It has Imca, who's one of my favourite character in the franchise. ... Until Raz that is. Shine on, you crazy legend.

[@Saltyoven]

I didn't play VC2 or 3 mainly because psp exclusive, and I don't have a psp

[@Nasfelia]

Well, you can play both games on PC using RomStation, which ports PSP and other console games on PC. That's where I played it. And this version is even (partially) translated.

[@ThanhNgo-jn7bm]

Raz reminds me a lot of Zack Fair, which automatically fascinates me. In that mission, I sent Raz with Ryan. Ryan’s last words more or less shows pretty much shows Venom Snake feels. It did send the chill across my spine to see a legend reliving again in another game.

Wanna hear interesting take? Valkyria Chronicles 4 is Gurren Lagann. Raz is Kamina, strong and charismatic person serving as an example for Claude. He’s impulsive and reckless but not stupid. In a past he gave Claude a good punch, it made Claude’s thoughts clear and brought him back to his senses. Raz fell in love with a sniper girl. He made an ultimate sacrifice doing a suicide mission to save the whole operation and his friends (it fact this is more Kittan’s moment than Kamina’s). Raz has straight reference to most famous Kamina’s phrase in one of the side missions Claude is Simon, he was weak and cowardly person in past but had grown into a strong leader Waltz is more rival for Claude than enemy, ending up helping him, just like Viral Operation Northern Cross is Gurren dan final mission to take down the anti-spiral: one ship is changing through the enemies to reach their planet/capital Ship is powered by spiral/valkyria power, produced by person inside vessel core And yes, both stories have sniper girl with big boobs I love TTGL with all my heart and I would never thought that its new incarnation would come from a VC’s military drama

Daria that's why I make alternate accounts on KZbin so I have different topics so I don't have to be recommended something I don't want spoiled

[@MisteRRYouTuby]

This is KZbin, spoiler capitol of the world. You knew that the moment you signed up and watched.

[@Kazooiie02]

"I frickin/frigging/fucking love you." @7:15

[@knox7945]

What did Raz said to Leena/Kai when he whispered to her?

[@BrownRoach]

Maybe a farewell?

[@knox7945]

I was watching that scene again and judging from the way his mouth was moving, it looked like he said arigato a-ri-ga-to, and it fits the way how many times his mouth move. Japan has this weird way of expressing their love for someone where they don't usually say "I love you." BUT! Raz has already expressed his love for Leena/Kai anyways, and her response was a kiss to the forehead which we can all agree that she feels the same way. Leena feels the most as she painfully cries out Raz's name multiple times when he got shot and died making her not wanting to believe that he was gone which is why she called out, but knew he was gone as she cries in the end. The Japanese original voice did it much better with the tone. R.I.P Raz you deserved a better ending

[@knox7945]

lol it's kinda hard to sync up from Japanese to English, usually results in more mouth moving and sometimes no movement at all. Yeah, since he used to be a smoker and all.

[@ratpongkraiwiwat5988]

I'm pretty sure it's either a-i-shi-te-ru or dai-su-ki-da-yo, both of which are to express I love you. I'm leaning towards the latter though due to how his mouth movements look like.

[@rufure9294]

While I'm sad that Raz dies but Zaiga does have to die too ?

[@iskoconquers]

Send any soldier with Raz, they die

[@teamhebi13]

Rufure92 yeah he die in my playthough too i didn't even know that was gonna happen

[@J4ymzz]

I chose Keigel. He carried some of my games even though I felt that Lancers were pretty nerfed compared to the 1st installment.

[@koriy5915]

I mean, lancers were a bit OP, I think they did well buffing the flamethrower and the snipers and nerfing the lancers.

[@Jardrin]

I would have picked Zaiga, but didn't have his squad story done at the time so chose someone who was already corporal.

[@crazyreddusty2326]

damn i haven't beaten the game yet but damn RIP Raz the invincible

[@jesseguajardo8592]

IT'S Isara from squad 7 all over again!

[@angelvaldez9002]

Damn man this sucks also considering team mates who can go with raz it explains why there is no 100% survival rate in squad E

[@jonathanwashington6083]

Whycum the Darcsens (aka "Anime Jews") are the one's always sacrificed for these things?

[@loki___5410]

I'm depressed Rip Raz

[@SuperSoylaleche]

He has to be somehow alive, i just cannot accept his death 🥺💔 not like this, he can't let Leena alone like this. but apart from that, what a wonderful game that Sega give to us, i love it as VC1

[@nr2676]

Sega WoW (former Overworks) and Mediavision. Valkyria Chronicles is (or was) series coop developed by those two small companies. Sadly Sega WoW was probably in 2019 closed due to poor sales of their games, VC4 was their last hope for survive, but lack of marketing from Sega killed them.

@@nr2676 This is why I never try new videogames sagas

[@rogeliogallegos2668]

I just finished the mission, i cried

[@RYHo-ni4my]

Who you guys chose to die with Raz? I chose Zaiga:((

[@demonlordomegaacepilot7090]

This is by far the most violent valkyria game ive ever played like literally. I really dont think rated T for teen is the right rating for this game. Like theres a lot of mature content in this one makes it a great game 10/10 on this one. But all the scenes in the game are cery violent in my opinion.

[@Jardrin]

Currently playing through the english patch of VC3, and it might be even darker than this game.

[@demonlordomegaacepilot7090]

@@Jardrin i agree and disgaree valkyria chronicles 4 shows hanging. Shows a snipers killing a civillian through heart. Shows people being burnt a to death. A whole base camp ambushed. Soldiers freezing to death. SQUAD F massacred the description of the news articles in gamee desxribing the mass 2million retreat of the federations army. Then we also have the destruction of both 2 of the cygnus fleet ships. And the azure bomb. I just literally described how violent this game is in a nut shell. Now where near as violent as valkyria chronicles 4. But few pointers in valk 3 for the girl valkyrian for going through hard ship the unsocialble lady with a dark past list of things go on in that game including all suicide missions descirbed in detail in game. But valkria chronicles 4 beat that by so many degree. I forgot to mention nikola blowing herself up with a Ragnite IED.

[@lobstr417]

Thnks for spoiling man :( it popped in my recommendation

[@alphalightning11frost91]

Clicking this video was suicidal man I'm sorry man i can't stop laughing :) lol lmao

[@Demokaze]

He died so that Claude can have a proper harem.

[@nickcalderon2637]

Dubious Carim That’s why Raz is the best wing-man. May his invincible nature be remembered.

[@unhappylife94]

WHY WOULD I SPOIL MYSELF!!!! NOOO RAZZZZ 😭😭😭 WHO WILL I USE NOW
