MODERATORS
Valkyria Chronicles is reverse orientalism. It blends together cultures and historical events in a way that doesn't make any sense, it completely disregards how the cultures view and treat their own history, it basically just picks out whatever parts the devs thought looked cool or that they could use to tell their own story they had in mind. It's less that they had some really confusing take on WWII and more that they were ignorant and lazy and didn't really care about getting the details right or about the cultural significance of how we talk about those events.
Trying to figure out what Valkyria Chronicles is saying about WWII is like trying to figure out what Disney's Aladdin is saying about... whatever country it's supposed to be set in.
