OK? What does that have to do with America? It's already been released in Japan so this obviously isn't about Japan. If the Wii version came out I would be perfectly fine with that. This idea that Tales is going to do great here because it's on the PS3 dosen't make a whole lot of sense to me.

Wii is cheaper and with a bigger install base. Not to mention the ToS
otNW sold somewhat decently so it kinda would make sense.

I have all 3 consoles. I don't care what it comes out on. If thats true, then I guess Nintendo is probably gonna fund most of it, like it did ToS. Though I'd rather much have the HD port with more content and trophies.

I liked Graces's story better. I understand Japanese, and if anything skews me it's that I got sick of Vesperia around 40 hours in and stopped, but that was due to the plot devolving into a repeating cycle ofRPGCrazied said:
1. Go to dungeon
2. Leave dungeon
3. Discuss dungeon events with each character individually on the airship (this is what skits are for)
4. Go to town
5. One character decides to leave the party
6. Discuss this with each party member individually
7. Wake up the next morning, and the party member decides not to leave after all
8. Learn where the next dungeon i
I thought Graces's story was much more interesting. There's a pretty jarring genre shift for a few hours near the end where you
go into space (which makes it every bit as much of a sci fi RPG as Star Ocean,)
Where you're about to take off in the Shuttle and you have to go back to Fendel for a dungeon,

Wii version would be better than none, but I'm not sure why anyone who owns both systems would root for the inferior version to make it here.

The next Tales is built from the ground-up for PS3. It makes more sense for Namco to start warming up the bed for PS3 fans. Namco is obviously aiming for the FFXIII crowd
Besides Wii 3rd party sale number is not all that impressive.

So when this comes out on the PS3 here and bombs, I wonder what will be said then.
As for being an insult? Well I guess for some. I myself would be fine with the Wii version. Hell we don't know if Namco would even fully localize the extra content.
No response was to the post about it going to sell more then the wii version if it came here. Which I really don't get the reasoning behind. And I don't know about failing, I mean it could sell as well as Vesperia, which did ok for a jrpg not named FF.DR2K said:

I thought you were questioning it's success in Japan. Quite frankly in terms of success in the West, it'll fail equally on any platform in the US. Bringing over the Wii version of the heavily updated PS3 version would be an insult. I'd also prefer they bring it over to the PS3 to build a base for an eventual Tales of Xilia release.

the game does control better on the Wii. i already imported the Wii version but if Namco did a Wii version + PS3 extras (yeah right) i would probably grab that copy instead.Quixzlizx said:
every game has got haters, but i am a lover: Graces is simply a perfect game. probably the best game Namco has made and will ever make. i can't play Team Symphonia games anymore because they are so rotten in comparison.

Judging by the screens we've seen, I think there's a good chance that Xillia was at one point a Wii game during its developmentcanova said:

The PS2 FF fanbase didn't help Western Tales sales on the PS2...I don't see why aiming for the FF XIII crowd would help much.
Also, I don't see how you can possibly say "3rd party sales for Wii aren't that impressive" when we're talking about an RPG here. How many niche JRPG titles like Tales have done exceptionally well on any console? At least ToS: DotNW sold over 100k and it would make much more sense to release the game for both consoles than just one.
Firestorm said:Well if they were happy with Symphonia DotE sales we would have got this a lot faster I assume. I'd personally rather have the HD game with 20 hours of post-game story
Impressions say the future arc is only around 10 hours actually...

You don't seem to know much about Namco.
According to you theory Graces would be released for Wii here, because they already built the fanbase with ToS: DotNW.

Think we will get a clue today? After them editing that photo, I'm guessing no. XD
Bel Marduk said:
This generation, there was Lost Odyssey, Valkyria Chronicles, (probably Blue Dragon), and Demon's Souls. Hell, even Star Ocean 4 managed to hit somewhere in DotNW's ballpark.
But the feasibility of releasing Graces on both consoles really comes down to how difficult or costly it is to just port all of the additional content onto the Wii version. That, and I think the ship has sailed in terms of a niche core game on the Wii that doesn't have Nintendo-esque pushing behind it.

So. There isn't one series, that you would just go crazy over? for more info, anything at all? Just from one gamer to the other. Unless you're a casual player, then nevermind. The Tales of series, cliche as they are, is mine.
So, you'll just have to excuse my excitement when I see stuff over it, specially if its a maybe announcement on releasing the game in my country.

the controls feel right using the Wii, sidestepping is done with direction+Z (block). in the PS3 version block is set to square, having to use two hands to do emergency maneuvers isn't too bad, but definitely a step down from the Wii version. mapping the R2 trigger to block feels off from pressing down the whole trigger.distantmantra said:
i think the key difference is the positioning of the DS3's analog stick. Graces changes things by having UP move towards your enemy instead of TOWARD. this works great with the Nunchuk because your thumb is positioned directly over the analog. having to reach over to the analog on DS3, there's something about angling the thumb like that, the whole UP DOWN controls aren't as smooth.
primary and special attacks are mapped to A and B on the Wii, having fingers placed directly over the main attacking buttons eliminates the fraction of a second it takes to move your thumb from X to O. along with the easy one-handed dodge, i feel unstoppable when i play Graces on the Wii, while i was sluggish when playing the PS3 demo.
reading this over, it boils down to the Wiimote/Nunchuk completely destroying traditional pads when only 3 or 4 buttons are needed.
Eh, the sticks feel a little worse but it doesn't really effect the gameplay at all from my experience.
I think you're making a big deal out of nothing. You're just used to the Wii controls, which is something people playing it on PS3 for the first time wouldn't even notice. Most people are used to playing 3d Tales on a PS2 controller or X360 controller.

I hope it comes out on both systems so everyone can frolic happily with their tales, rather than rage at each other.
Come on Namco Bandai, release it on both system.

When Graces F comes out all you PS3 owners better buy 3 each. That way Xillia won't be too far (within the decade).
Oh and that's right I said when.
