History VideoGame / ValkyriaChroniclesIII

''Valkyria Chronicles III'' is the third game of the ''VideoGame/ValkyriaChronicles'' series, released in Japan on the PlaystationPortable on January 27, 2011. Despite the previous two games getting localized, SEGA announced no localization would be made for this title outside of Japan, but at least a FanTranslation has been started. Unlike previous titles, this game was developed by Creator/MediaVision and published by Creator/{{Sega}}.

Taking place during the 2nd Europan war [[GaidenGame during the events of]] ''VideoGame/ValkyriaChronicles'', the game focuses on Gallian Army Squad 442, nicknamed "The Nameless", a MeaningfulName since most of their members are [[RagtagBunchOfMisfits criminals, deserters and military offenders]] who all have [[UnPerson their names erased from the records]] and [[YouAreNumberSix given numbers instead]]. Their job (if you can call it that) is to do the most dangerous missions and "dirty work" for the Gallian army, which basically means they are the CannonFodder.

The Nameless are fighting against a mysterious Imperial unit known as Calamity Raven lead by Dahau, [[WellIntentionedExtremist a Darcsen]].

Kurt, Riela, and Imca also join in the ''VideoGame/ProjectXZone'' roster.

** It also reveals a bit of GrayAndGrayMorality with the Darscens which some will go to desperate states to gain independence. Previous games shown them as being victims, as it shows however, some are willing to become a CompleteMonster if it helped invigorate the Darscens to stand up for themselves.

* AceCustom: The Nameless Tank ([[NoNameGiven sic]]). In a rather poignant justification, this is because The Nameless ''generally'' can't request parts of standard Gallian tanks, and Gusurg [[spoiler:and later, Carisa]] make do with what parts are available. [[spoiler:When Gusurg command Echidna later, he makes some pretty hardcore modification that sets it apart from Bathomys.]] Also: [[ValkyriaChroniclesII Narcisus]], [[ValkyriaChronicles Edelweiss]], and Schakal.

* NoNameGiven: The default name for The Nameless' tank is... The Nameless Tank. It really stands out because you get to control [[ValkyriaChronicles Edelweiss]] and [[ValkyriaChroniclesII Narcissus]] in a few missions. [[DarkerAndEdgier And its default paint is black.]]

** [[FixFic Which might explain why she was chosen as this game's rival character in]] ''VideoGame.ProjectXZone''

* DarkSecret: In the anime, when Riela is about to use her Valkyria beam to stop the artillery shell from fragging the advancing [[LeeroyJenkins Gallian Army]], Kurt tell Isara to not tell anyone about it, not even Welkin. [[spoiler:Considering Isara's fate, she really it to her grave.]]

* NoExportForYou: SEGA has repeatedly and bluntly stated they are done releasing PSP titles outside of Japan and will not release this one overseas.

** [[BattlefieldBadCompany Doesn't this remind you of another game where you play one of those guys meant to do "the dirty work?" Except you're just an ordinary soldier.]]

* MeaningfulName: Would you expect a high-ranking religious figure named "[[AssassinsCreed2 Borgia]]" to be a wholesome person...

* CutscenePowertotheMax: Apparently, Imca can duel a Valkyria to a BladeLock with her bazooka-blade thing in cutscenes. She can't do that in the game, though she does have a SuperMode.

** Kurt is able to get two nearby allies to follow him and attack together while only using up his own pool of AP.

** Riela [[spoiler:[[GuestFighter and]] [[VideoGame/ValkyriaChroniclesII Aliasse]]]] goes into Valkyria mode where she becomes invincible and can perform a one shot kill with her lance.

* {{ptitle2s6v9yii}}: If you studied your American military history, you would know where the official name of the Nameless came from.

* AndYourRewardIsClothes: Finishing post-Clear Fragments of supporting characters[[hottip:*: "Supporting" from The Nameless' POV, that is.]] gives you alternate uniforms: [[ValkyriaChronicles Gallian Militia (Squad 7)]], Gallian Army (Leon / Baldren), and [[ValkyriaChroniclesII Lanseal Students (Avan)]].
* ArbitraryHeadcountLimit: Up to 9 units can be deployed at a time, with a maximum of 5 per zone. This is up from the [[ValkyriaChroniclesII VC2]] limit of 6 units, and nearly equals the original game's limit of 9 or 10 (depending on whether a tank is available).

* CoolTank / AwesomePersonnelCarrier: Like ''ValkyriaChroniclesII'', you can customize your tank in a wide variety of ways, from the nearly invincible but slow to the lightweight APC that can move your troops around fast and far but falls to a well-placed blow.

** Certain characters from another game even has "Custom" for their possible uniforms, such as [[spoiler:[[ValkyriaChroniclesII Aliasse]] and [[PhantasyStarPortable Nagisa]]]].

* DarkerAndEdgier: This game is darker then the first two ''ValkyriaChronicles'' games since it focus on an unwanted unit doing the Gallian army's DirtyBusiness.

* GaidenGame: The events of this game take place concurrently with ''ValkyriaChronicles'' rather than being a sequel or prequel.

* JobSystem: All units can be changed to any class, like Avan from ''ValkyriaChroniclesII'', although most have one or two preferred classes that they are better at.

** Riela [[spoiler:[[GuestFighter and]] [[ValkyriaChroniclesII Aliasse]]]] goes into Valkyria mode where she becomes invincible and can perform a one shot kill with her lance.

* OldSaveBonus: Having ''ValkyriaChroniclesII'' Save Data earns you Anisette as a playable character.

* PreviousPlayerCharacterCameo: Characters from ''ValkyriaChronicles'' and ''ValkyriaChroniclesII'' make cameo appearances and will join Squad 442 in some of their missions.
* RagtagBunchOfMisfits: The Nameless are composed of criminals, deserters and military offenders. This trope is practically a ''ValkyriaChronicles'' tradition now.

* TheUnfought: Selvaria Bles. You would think that Imca would have an epic rematch with her [[spoiler:now that your squad has your own Valkyria[[GuestFighter (s)]]]], but apparently she must fight in another battlefield [[spoiler:[[ValkyriaChronicles and die there]]]].

* TheWorfEffect: [[ValkyriaChronicles Welkin and the gang]]. Apparently, when enemy leader outsmart Welkin, it's time for Kurt to save the day. Especially true in the OVA.
