And so the prophecy has come to pass! All that the duckroll has spoken of since the dawn of the first announcement is now a part of history!

Onto PS3!

Tales of Vesperia is coming to PS3 with new content. It will have new animation movies, new events, and new dungeons. There is no release date listed.

More to come as Team Japanese News Thread uncovers it.

So is this Tales of Vesperia 2? :lol

I'm still waiting for Ace Combat 6, er...7 for PS3.

FUCK YEAH, the game is awesome on the X360 and it will be awesome on the PS3.

It gives me an excuse to play it again once I beat it on the 360.

No, it's an "enhanced" port, like ToS PS2, Trusty Bell PS3, etc. It means there'll be new content that wasn't in the original because it's coming out much later than the original. Hopefully it runs as well, so I can double dip without feeling ripped off!

Awesome. Now I assume this means the trade will work both ways and Valkyria Chronicles will appear on the 360, right?.... right!?........ :(

I haven't started the 360 version yet, so I'll probably send it out over Goozex while it's still worth 50 bucks and wait on the PS3 version. Plus I'll get one out of the backlog...

Bingo, hopefully it is worth it.

Never say never, the game did sell poorly on the PS3 after all.

I loved this game on the 360; it's the most complete JRPG on the system. If there's enough new content I might double-dip. All PS3 games coming out now need to support trophies, correct?

Woohoo! Just about finished this one up on the 360 and anyone who's familiar with my post history will tell you that I'm a big fan of the game. Hopefully it wont take too long to come out!

It's entirely possible, but Sega hasn't shown much intention of publishing more stuff on the 360 so far, so I wouldn't hope for too much.

Is there really any excuse for that, though? They could provide the added content to the 360 version via DLC, if they desired. I assumed there would be dungeon DLC for those areas that don't serve any purpose in the game, towards the end, but they'll probably avoid that now.

Still, hope it has some success. It's a great game and the first Tales game I've truly enjoyed.

Blame Sega for scraping the 360 version in the first place.

FUCK. YES. Will probably be able to import in English before its out in PAL land on 360 :/
Actually, what are the chances of Vesperia PS3 making it out of Japan at all? Pretty slim I would guess :(

When did this "Valkyria was originally for 360" mumbo jumbo start?

If trusty bell did, then the far superior Vesperia will likely make it.

There. Happy EU/AU?
Should I double dip?

Edit: come to think of it, maybe it'll pull a Symphonia and not get localized =/

Hopefully, it fairs better as a port than Symphonia did. I was about to pick this up on 360. Glad I waited.

Hope so, everyone deserves the chance to play it. :D

Finally! This will definitely be a day 1 purchase for me. I just hope they won't take as long as ES to port it.

Wait, if "Team Symphonia" is working on this port, who is in charge of Tales of Wii? I probably missed the announcement in the last months, so bear with me please.

Yeah I never heard of it until Defuse just mentioned it but the interwebs says the developer blog mentioned it

Yeah but its Scamco. I can totally see them skipping the port.... just like they skipped Symphonia's...

I don't think we know yet, unfortunately.

Wait, why did the Vesperia scan get pulled from creamsugar's site?

EDIT: Oh I see.
