Replacing the original low-resolution textures with high-resolution ones would also be great, and it shouldn't be too hard to do since normally, assets are created in high fidelity and then sized down to fit the platform's memory. This is something that PSP emulators do automatically, so it should be nearly effortless.

The workload required to achieve the cheapest possible remaster would include adapting the code for modern consoles, which shouldn't be too much of a burden due to the massive power difference, and upgrading the resolution of the 3D models to modern standards.

We don't need a full remake: at the simplest, a remaster would be perfectly viable. While nothing in game development comes for free, it would be perfectly OK to do this operation on the cheap. Of course, I didn't forget PC, but for some reason, Sega seems to have set the option aside for the moment, and I can't say I can easily interpret that decision. This time around, though, it'd probably be advisable to target the same platforms as the fourth title and go with PS4, Switch, and Xbox One. The good folks at Sega should really remaster both games and localize the third. So yeah, it's time to have that talk again. On top of that, while Valkyria Chronicles 2 features a switch in tone that might be a bit hard to digest for some of the most hardcore fans (but still remains a charming game), Valkyria Chronicles 3 easily stands on par with the first game in terms of story, and the lack of a localization is a great disservice to the series and those who love it. One doesn't need to be a mind reader to know that many younger gamers are going to think, 'I played Valkyria Chronicles Remastered, and now it's already at 4? I didn't play 2 and 3, so maybe I should skip on this one.' Of course, I'm not encouraging that line of thought, but it would be naive to think that it won't be a factor. While the fourth game shifts the attention from Gallia to the Atlantic Federation, bringing forth a brand new cast that will allow new players to enjoy the story without having played the earlier chapters, quite a few potential customers are probably going to be intimidated by that '4' in the title. On top of that, much to my joy, the publisher just announced Valkyria Chronicles 4.

On the other hand, the Nintendo Switch is taking over the portable market, and Sega appears to be quite keen on supporting Xbox One. While PS4 is more popular than ever, PS Vita is pretty much dead in the west and is showing signs of fatigue even in Japan. Unfortunately, my request went unanswered, and the first game remains pretty much the only true Valkyria Chronicles title (since Valkyria Revolution is a spin-off) that most western fans of the series have played, considering that the two sequels are still confined on a portable platform that wasn't that popular in the west, and Valkyria Chronicles 3 was never localized. Back then, I wrote an article trying to envision how Valkyria Chronicles 2 and 3 would have looked if they were remastered on the cheap for PS4 and PS Vita.

Back in 2016, Sega released the Valkyria Chronicles remaster on PS4, allowing a new generation to experience one of the best JRPGs of the PS3 era.
