I think it’s fairly clear thatValkyria Chronicles IIIis aiming to strike a slightly edgier tone than its previous incarnations, what with its black-ops squad of “Nameless” soldiers conducting secret missions in the midst of the Imperial invasion, it’s only fitting that the deluxe (hence “DX”) edition of the game comes with some edgier bonus bits.

And nothing’s edgier than…a cup. And not some kind of ugly-ass mug that says “World’s Best Nameless Soldier” on it, but awartimecup, which is collapsible, the better to fit in yournameless soldier rucksack. So when you get your DX edition, you can drink yourblack coffeeout of awartimecup, all the while smelling that burning Ragniteon the battlefield.

Oh, and it also comes with a clear poster, and “Gallia Secret Document”, which spills some of the details male lead Kurt Irving’s last mission as “Kurt Irving”. Check out some spiffy picturesof the cup and its branded metal container below. Another, retailer-exclusive DX edition comes with dog tags for characters Riela and Imca (pictured above), but dog tags aresodone-to-death.This is a cup. For drinking!
