VC1 - 5 classes, everyone at a set class, all characters in the same class though level up together. VC2 - 5 base classes, 10 secondary classes and 20 advanced classes, Only Alan can be anything, but with 1 base, 2 middle and 4 advanced classes that each character can choose from, there is a lot of choice, but tied behind RNG drops and everyone is separate. You get a new character, you need to start over from scratch, making it so that unless you really like the new character and have the time, you will rarely use new characters outside of maybe once for the novelty. Each class has potentials that once learned from using them enough can be mixed and matched to make truely broken characters, but takes dozens of hours to do so and lots of luck with RNGesus to get the class change mats.... There are multiple potentials to unlock with each class too.... VC3 - 8 base classes, anyone can be any class, unlike Alan being the only one able to in VC2, however each character still has a "preferred class" (or two) that offers bonus stats for keeping them as they should. Classes have 3 ranks and like the previous VC2, has potentials that can be unlocked for each, but unlike VC2, only a single potential to unlock with each class (most have easy conditions to unlock too). OH, classes no longer level in this game, but instead, you level stats (HP, AP, DEF, ACC, and ATT). VC4 - 6 classes, using the same system that VC1 did, going back to its roots. Each their specific class. Characters level up together with their class. Note that VC1 was the best selling of the series (given that VC1 didn't do well at the start, became a cult classic, then VC2 bombed in NA leaving VC3 to not be released outside JPN) it is obvious that SEGA would want to go with the safer choice of VC1's system. Because it was simpler, it's also easier to implement too. Personally, I like VC3's system the best (also think it is the best game in the series storywise too....). However I don't mind VC1 and VC4's system in that it makes it super easy to use new characters without feeling bad. VC2, while was a good idea, reaaaaally didn't need the whole diploma RNG system. If it didn't have that and say just had the leveling (say hit lvl 20 or 30 of a class since max was 50) to unlock the higher versions should have been fine enough. Would have enjoyed it a lot more. Balancing that VC3 did to things like Fencers/Maulers is also needed and like VC3, there is NO need for Mortars to be separate classes. No one really uses them anyway other than once to try them out. Don't get me wrong though, I did love VC2 (love all the VC main titles... we shall not speak of Revolution.....). I liked the civil war, dealing with all the aftermath of the first game. But the main 3 characters were quite terrible. I personally disliked their voice acting throughout the game (played originally on my personal copy on the PSP, but all later playthroughs played on a modded UNDUB version of the game to put the original JP VA's back in reaaaally helps). And of course the diploma RNG drops is terrible. I do think both VC2 and VC3 executed gameplay really well, especially for being on the PSP. I liked how they handled maps with the camps having much more importance and making defending them a challenge (and necessary for once). I did like most of the new classes and it was so easy to cheese/break the game. Especially with the existence of the VC2 Fencers (VC3 once are still powerful, but nerfed in a lot of places, like much much less armor and a shield 1/3rd the size). I really missed the uniqueness of the VC1's leveling all classes together when I first played VC2. I really did make one not really want to take the time with the new characters since you already invested so much into the first ones you get (I of course did everything, but I can did feel that and can see why many hated it).

I'm sure I will love VC3 if Sega ever re-releases it and remembers to bring it to the US this time. I would probably see how far I could get with an all-Engineer force though whether I would do that before or after my first serious run at the campaign I'm not sure. I would definitely make my Squad Lead an Engineer just like I did in VC2

@@roguerifter9724 If they never release it ever in an English version, this is one of the few games that has an amazing full English fan translation. So if you cannot be bothered to learn a new language to play a JP copy, this is a good option. You can even have a good conscience about playing it if you own an official copy of the game like me, before you patch a rom (that you obviously dumped yourself) to patch with the fan translation. VC3 even has two endings, as there are two main female characters and you get to make a choice on who you end up with (no dating elements in the game, it's a simple choice that is obvious at a certain point in the game and branches a couple of the missions with some different options and dialogue). This situation is also seen in other parts of the game as the game gives you branching options at many points in the story which have you do one mission or another (though they do meet back up at the same point, so these don't really change how the story goes other than for that individual point in the game).

I agree vc 2 is great game. The only issues i have with this game is the grinding

Yeah that is also my only issue with it. Past that nothing though, if they remaster it i hope that they will make the grinding process a bit less torture like

Agree with you

Well VC 2 focused on Gallian Civil War so they fight GRA, while other 3 games fighting the Empire. So no baddass Imperial style antagonists😂

Agree. Taking down OP as hell V2 without Fencer Elite, Sniper Elite or boosted Comando is a fucking Nightmare.

I don't know under what rock you live in but it seems nice, may i join you?

yoo, where cave you live in? I need one for myself

Holy moly it was well received? And here I thought it bombed so bad that no VC game afterwards even wants to associate with it in any way, shape or form.

'Well received' my ass. The game didn't sell well and that's the reason why we never got Official English release for VC3.

@jovif.spemudaindonesia1841 look up reviews for it, then get back to me.

same here. I adore this game. The nostalgia of playing this game all night with my little brother. I need to dig out my psp! haha

>another western dudebro war sim bloodbath with an olive drab colour palette Lulz. 🤣

You mean Baldren ? Yes he is annoying.
