With its April 24 Japanese release date approaching fast, Sega has apparently deemed the time right to share copies of Senjou no Valkyria (Valkyria Chronicles in Western markets) with the Japanese press. Impress Watch got an early taste of the game and delivered a lengthy hands-on impressions piece that managed to deliver, amongst the gameplay details, one piece of news.
According to the site, Valkyria offer players the option for a hard disk install. The install takes up 3,336 MB and apparently cuts down load times from the 15 second waits players would otherwise have to sit through when opting to play directly from disc.
As with last month's Ryu ga Gotoku Kenzan install, this install is strictly optional, so those who can't find enough space on their hard disk will still be able to play.
