Skies of Arcadia characters pop up in Sega's Senjo no Valkyuria photo

Holly balls, that's Vyse! Anyone who reads my An RPG Draws Near series (it's coming back, I swear) knows I have a major soft spot for Skies of Arcadia, as it was one of the first games I blathered on about in the column. Three cheers for Sega for poking that sweet place today with these screenshots of their PS3 title Senjo no Valkyuria (Valkyria Chronicles), in which both Skies characters Vyse and Aika make appearances.

There was a rumor last year that Sega may be working on a sequel to the sky conquering RPG, but there's been no confirmation whatsoever on those suspicions. The announcement of a  next-gen sequel would literally have me throwing my windows open and screaming, so let's hope the condo across the way doesn't call the police if I am caught howling "PIRATES! PIRATES!"

Skies is one of my favorite RPGs ever. I've played through it a few times and I love it to death. It's truly epic. If this is true then I will buy a PS3 for this game if it doesn't come out on 360.

I've been looking for a DC copy for a while now. Is there a difference between the original and the GCN version?

Always wanted to play that on the DC, but never got it.

I'd rather have a Chrono Trigger sequel (not chrono cross)
But Skies would be nice too.

@welkstar

yeah, they added some extra fights and discoveries and what-not. Most definantly worth it.

This just makes me want this game even more!

@welkstar
The GCN version has added content such as another playable character, more discoveries, and a bounty system I think? It's been a while so my memories a bit foggy.

This makes me sad, as there's no way I'm buying a PS3.
