They're letting people win the "How many Tales games do you have?" quest by using import games. :lol:
I am trying to see if I can pull a few strings and find someone with a US address I could sign up as, and then get them to post the prizes across to me. If I could get the US Xbox 360, then the region locking wouldn't matter.

Way less. I was excited for this but the demo killed it for me. The dialog isn't that good and while I do like the art style, I feel that Eternal Sonata looked better and had more attention to detail.u_neek said:
I went to EB games earlier and asked when they were getting Tales in, and he asked me which one since two were listed for the 360. I said Vesperia and asked what the other one was, and he showed me
Tales of Vesper... 59.99
Tales of Desper... 49.99
Did they just mess up, or is there another tales I never heard of?

Ah I see, well on the one hand that is cool that the development team is sticking to their core (style) crowd, but on the other hand, as someone fairly new to the series, the lack detail is some what off putting.icecream said:

they could offer the japanese language as a free download, but that ain't gonna happen. the free part that is.
The demo's difficulty was intentionally ramped up due to the amount of skills and artes you possessed. You wouldn't have those at the beginning of the game (which is the setting). I'm assuming the real game will ease you into the combat a bit morerhfb said:
Apparently they jacked up the difficulty of the boss a LOT.FateBreaker

Nah. I'm going to say ~100k sounds reasonable.
So it just came cross my knowledge that there's an Engrish version of the opening theme that's probably going to be used in the NA version of the game?

I'm seriously going to have a ton of fun kicking that guy's ass when the game comes out.

Namco has been hyping up the dual language opening since before the singer was even announced
Whoa, Vesperia came around pretty fast. Too many RPGs coming this way at once >_<
Hey at least you havent already started an RPG. Im just getting into DDS2 from my DDS1+2 first time playthrough, and the RPG deluge is beginning.
I know I like Vesperia (it's a Tales main series game, of course its going to be good. That and the demo) but Infinite Undiscovery i'll have to wait for a demo/reviews/impressions. Same with the other new IPs.

If anyone wants to use me as a reference for talesbrigade (I think you can only get this once, probably to avoid people whoring it/creating duplicate accounts), you can use SailorDaravon >_>
Also I dunno about the LE at amazon yet either, I'm still trying to find anyplace that's listing it at all, at least online.

Damn I totally forgot about this game. I will have to pick it up when I get back to Japan in a couple of weeks. I hope it gets some good sales.
if anyone wouldn't mine signing up for the tales brigade under this link. It'd be appreciated as well!http://www.talesbrigade.com/?friend=3KvB3l
And Tamura's gone? Where's the staff list?

PAL 2009? >=o
I hope the US version isn't region locked, so I can import this sucker. Region lockout is the worst thing ever.

I think that 0pt achievement for "complesion" (sic) is a not-so-subtle hint that this game is coming to PS3 (that achievement being the platinum trophy, basically). Could be a stretch but it's really unusual to give 0pts for 100% completion.
The secret achievements in this game seem to be pretty good. The big ones are probably story-related, but the 5pt ones seem to unlock when you clear a specific requirement for each of the boss battles.

For those who want to play it on the 26th, I hope the US version will be region free.
Myself, I'm going to have my hands full with LO, IU and LasRem. 2009 for ToV is quite allright, since I won't have the time for it anyway with this crazy surge of awesome games this fall.

Really? I don't think it's THAT bad.
Got mine this morning and have been playing it. So far it's meeting and surpassing all my expectations as the true followup to my favorite rpg of 2005(4?). I didn't play the demo because of the bad word of mouth and I like going into rpgs fresh, but man the graphics are SOOOOO gorgeous. This game is beautiful. There's also a TON of polish. Does not feel rushed at all, but rather fine-tuned, which is a surprise for a next-gen title sadly.
Am SO HAPPY the d-pad AI shortcuts are in. Too many Tales games don't have these and it's ridiculous. I love Tales games where I can tell the party to CHARGE and then when you see the enemy windup a close quarters major attack I hit left on the d-pad and tell them to RETREAT and the AI doesn't get fucked up and I have to heal them like SO MANY STUPID GAMES where you hate your AI friends.
Also the battles have a little more depth and challenge than usual for Tales games. I am surprised! ...and it's fun! The secret missions by beating certain battles certain ways is pretty cool if your not an achievement crazed person who is going to try to get them all and instead you just get rewarded sometimes when you do something cool
Do titles do anything? I like when titles have real effects, but I don't see any.
Like always the sound mix is really bad on default and you can hardly hear the voices when there is music or sound effects. Luckily during music/SE down a notch remedies that.
My only complaint so far is that Yuri runs a little slow. I wish he had a turbo sprint like in LO. Also 60fps exploration would have been nice but...I'm really happy with the visuals so I'll take what I've got.
