"Tales of" Series

[TeaOfJay]

[tornado fang] to the yes.

Even more [tornado fang] to the yes if this came stateside. I LOVED the voice over to Tales of Vesperia.

...Namco Bandai, I have to ask you something. If you had this kind of voice talent under your wing, then why the [tornado fang] did Gurren Lagann sound like [parasitic bomb]?

[borockman]

Ohhh, that I'm very interested! love the game! love the voice acting! hopefully they will get the same people for dubbing.

Now someone go find the scans from Shonen Jump.

...Patty Fleur? Who?

Flynn Schifo or bust.

LIGHT DRAGON... DESTRUCTION!!

It's pretty sad that of those three, we may only see Vesperia PS3 come on over.

Tales of Vesperia - PS3 - 2009

Well, there goes my last reason for a 360.

[Jericho]

Meanwhile, does anyone have the actual screens/scans for Tales of Graces? I heard that the game is fuggen gorgeous and want to see.

[STM]

From what I understand, Patty Fleur is the return of the Pirate class in the main game, packing a Gun and a Knife as a weapon and sub-weapon. Her back story is that she's looking for the Treasure of Aifread the Pirate. Seeing as we meet a girl somewhat like this in Torim Harbor, I wouldn't be surprised if she's from there.

As a side note: there a rumor circulating that because of this release, the European 360 version has been canceled, but Europe will be getting the PS3 version first. The source is Namco's Tales of forums, but given what today is, I'd take it with a grain of salt.

Also confirmed is the ToV movie, as mentioned, which is about Yuri and Flynn's time in the Royal Knights.

Tales of Graces looks really nice. I wouldn't mind seeing that one brought over since I felt Symphonia 2 was... underwhelming.

Tales of Vs. would be a fantastic U.S. release, but I don't know if they'll actually do it. It'd be a nice partner to Dissidia as a fighting game on the PSP.

[Acid]

Are those supposed to be images? Or the usualy 'NO NOTLICKING' stuff?

[STM]

Fixed.

Oh sweet. I can totally live with that.

[Jericho]

Holy crap, Graces looks amazing.

[Acid]

Wait, this ain't no April Fools, is it?

[Jericho]

Wait, this ain't no April Fools, is it?

That's exactly what I thought at first when I saw the ToV PS3 port getting mentioned, but then again, it did come from the actual magazine this time around.

[Acid]

I'm not sure... I'll remain sceptical till further confirmation.

[STM]

I'm wary on it a little too on the Vesperia side since Patty's official art is VERY similar looking to Karol's. It may simply be due to being the same artist (see how Flynn and Guy from Tales of the Abyss somewhat resemble each other.)

A little more, but I can't get confirmation of this, on the PS3 version.

Aside from the obvious additions of quests, they're adding more event battles, such as making Flynn's lapdogs, Sodia and "Apple Head", fightable. They plan to give Repede more voice clips (...eh?) and apparently, there was something about second level Mystic Artes (...each character will get a new mystic arte or something, as well as some bosses.)

If this means Traitor to Heaven (Kratos) gets Divine Judgment alongside his already painful Shining Bind, it'll make him much more deadly. I also wouldn't mind the Colosseum getting team battle back. 1 vs 100/200 is pretty fun, but having the usual cameo team is a bit better.

[Acid]

I really wish this wasn't a scam. But it sounds too good to be true.

[STM]

All I'm hoping is they don't fix Rita. Rita is the most broken mage in the entire series because her rapid cast, ability to fly/levitate, an even more broken Overlimit system than Abyss, and a triple threat of Tidal Wave, Gold Cat and Gravity Well. It's so damn easy to build grade, money, experience, and attribute points just by having her in your party.

[Acid]

Can't really comment on that. Haven't played it yet. But I'll keep that in mind. Thanks.

[HokutoNoBen]

Over at GAF, everything seems to point that this is indeed real.

...Alright, all of this looks VERY hawt. And all 3 will be mine, soon enough... 

[Acid]

Over at GAF, everything seems to point that this is indeed real.

Yes. Anticipation is rising.

[The Drunken Dishwasher]

Wow...

well that adds another game for my soon-to-be-purchased PS3.  Though i'm only buying it when the new Team Ico game comes out 

[Setsuna F. Seiei]

[slystrife]

Wow, that's a lot of Tales [parasitic bomb] coming out! O_o

I knew Tales of Vesperia was gonna go multi-platform, there would probably be a riot if it didn't. Tales of Vs looks to be interesting, hopefully it'll be good; can't believe they already announced the next mothership title. ToV isn't even a year old yet. :0

Oh well, hopefully it'll play like a good game and not a rushed one.

[Gaia]

Another tales game, another pirate loli. Yes, I am referring to Chatty (Don't exactly remember the name, but she's from Tales of Destiny).

[Setsuna F. Seiei]

Technically Cross platform, since wii's to shitty to get anything meant for the real consoles.
