the article is still very bare; those who have spare time please expand upon the lead section, setting, gameplay, games, characters, and reception sections. Osh33m ( talk) 00:59, 24 January 2016 (UTC)
I agree with The1337gamer about this. A table like this breaks the flow of the article - I think prose + a timeline template would be way more accessible. I also heavily disagree with this revert - if those sections were expanded, then that might be fine, but at the moment they are just two one-sentence sections about the series' plot. Sections that are that short only make the reading experience choppy. As general editing advice, I recommend combining mini-sections about related subjects and splitting enormous ones (at least into subsections). This strategy also applies to paragraphs within a section.
On a different note, I worry that this article is (mostly) built up without the use of sources. Way too often, I see people writing in articles about pop culture and just pulling from what they themselves know about the subject, or from some Mobygames/Wikipedia/Wikia page (while not even linking to that source), and as a result getting an article that is underdeveloped in a lot of areas, fancrufty, and unsourced. Writing with sources makes for a better product and is much easier to do. Sorry if this sounds aggressive and hostile, because I really don't want to come off like that, but I do think that there's a lot of work to be done on this article if we want to get it up to snuff, and I'd hate to see editors putting effort into the wrong thing and having their work replaced entirely when they could have just as easily or easier created the same thing themselves in the first place.-- IDV talk 01:22, 25 January 2016 (UTC)
This table is the exact same discussion we had at Souls (series). I oppose it's inclusion for the same reasons given there. -- ferret ( talk) 22:06, 25 January 2016 (UTC)

This character list doesn't have sources to show its independent notability from the series. It's a hatrack for all kinds of minor characters and video game trivia. The major characters can be adequately merged to the corresponding character section of the parent article. czar 02:40, 14 March 2016 (UTC)

– In my opinion, simply "Valkyria" is an unfitting name for the series. The vast majority of the series is entitled Valkyria Chronicles (games 1-4), and the critically maligned Valkyria Revolution is just a spin-off. It would be as if a spinoff of F-Zero was released entitled F-Two, and suddenly we moved the series article to simply "F". It would only make sense to excise part of the name if a significant subset of the games involved alternative names. ZXCVBNM ( TALK) 09:41, 23 December 2017 (UTC)
