Valkyria Chronicles 3 final thoughts

So 7 years after its release and idk how many years after the fan translation's release, I finally finished Valkyria Chronicles 3 in a bit over 58 hours. Overall the game definitely fits as a successor to what VC2 originally did when the series moved from PS3 to PSP. I'll break down stuff into lists. Spoilers obvs.

Stuff I liked:
-Removal of the certificate grinding for class levelups.
-Lots of different classes to play around with.
-Also lots of different types of weapons and tank builds for situations.
-Plot was closer to the tone of the first game.
-You actually get to use a Valkyria!
-Open Fire is the best song!

Stuff that was eh:
-Plot STILL only focused on a handful of characters (basically everyone who was in the squad from the start of the game), despite there not being much randomness as to who else you recruit when.
-Main group of villains were kind of all over the place in terms of what they were doing. Calamity Raven really didn't do much to further their personal goals until the very end, so them chasing you everywhere was like the war version of a dumb grudge at times.
-All the villains die at the end. I'd prefer if it was spread out a bit more (like killing Gregor in chapter 10 of VC1 when that game has 18 chapters). And you don't even actually kill the last guy, he just...dies.
-How the hell did they keep a third Valkyria secret, even if she WAS in the Nameless? The Gallian Intelligence Agency is hella good I guess.

Stuff I disliked:
-HOLY SHIT THE REUSED ASSETS. I played VC2 back in 2010 and I still recognized most of the maps coming from there. Not only that, there was SO MUCH reused music from both previous games! A shame considering all the original music was very good. They even reused the final battle theme from VC1 in one of the chapter 19 missions.
-Riela as the "canon" romance path is really shoved in your face, with her getting a couple extra scenes and even a CG for the spirit festival gift scene (while Imca just had normal voiced text). However, only offering Riela as the romance option would make this game seem ripped off of VC1 with the squad leader and the Valkyria getting together, so...
-The game can be unfairly difficult at points, or so I hear. I played on Easy difficulty to avoid this, but I've heard the later missions where enemies go first are pretty brutal on Normal (and higher?). Heavy Armor units suck.
-The various parts where you run into the main characters from VC2 and you give them sages advice that is clearly meant to propel some of their thinking in VC2. Honestly, you should've just ran into the older characters (Avan's brother, the Gassenarls, Brixham) since they were actually in the war. Tho I disliked Brixham's scene with Riela, it felt forced.
-Game never got an official English release :(

Here's hoping VC4 doesn't kill the series!
