More around 70% I think. Like half in NA, and I don't know if the game ever even released in Europe...
With the overall lack of interest late ports usually seem to get this gen and how Tales isn't that popular anymore, I'm not going to make any good guesses on how this will sell. :p

It made it in EU with a very low print (In Holland at least), I only saw one copy in one store so far :lol

I'm liking the news about added content, keep 'em coming!

Will drop pants for Sony.
I'm with the other guys here that believe the main tales series might go to the DS or PSP, however that is not to say there won't be another console main tales game, however the console games do take longer to make and require a larger budget. For Bamco it would be easy to put the next main tales game on the DS or PSP and have it sell a lot for less the development costs.

I think that girl next the Disco dood will die too, such a waste of a good design i agree.

I hope Vesperia will be released in English :(.

geeze, you guys really don't get it, do you? dying is the best thing that girl could do. firstly, if she dies and she's about what i expect, an airheaded "love interest" that's not good for more than moeblob and healing/light spells (it's a tales game. i play them for camp value) her death will be cheered, since the inevitably whiny and annoying little bitch of a main character will be hilariously distraught for the rest of the game.

on the other hand, if the character is worth having around and turns out to be a deep and intriguing character that lives up to the apparently excellent character design and manages to actually make me care about her, her death would make a serious and meaningful impact on my playing the game and would thus be motivated to bring the fool who killed her to swift JRPG slashy killy justice.

Did they confirm a US/European release [TBA, of course] for any of these 3 games?
Wondering if Ps3 Vesperia will make it here.

It's too soon for that, let's see if Namco announces anything for the US market first. But I'm not worried about Vesperia and Versus since they can be imported and played. Graces on the other hand...but this has a higher chance to make it in the west. It can ride on ToS(2)'s popularity.

I fail at reading the OP, i missed the last line :(

No, none of these have been confirmed for English releases yet.

Oh, and the problem with Graces is... Symphonia 2 still has to come out in the European market, just like Vesperia.
Vesperia is one of my most-wanted games this gen and i will have to play it on the 360 this summer knowing well a "2.0" version is on its way.
As always, a huge fuck you to Namco.

Vesperia supposedly will get released in June, while nobody knows about Ratatosk.

abyss never came out in europe, so if youre hoping for ToS2 you will probably be disappointed

B-but worldwide strategy.

Screens with no Flynn prove Flynn is a party member? o.0

Sonata wasn't, this won't be as well. The only way the 360 version could be better is if the PS3 version never gets localized. Localization > everything else.

It took them this long to realize they should be at least on PS3 as well as 360 on day 1 of release? I'll buy most of their 360 games day 1 if it's the only option. If it's on both, then PS3 is the way, finally.

He posted the wrong screens, but there was one that showed the little portraits of the party members and Flynn was among them. However, he might be playable in only one dungeon or scenario like Asch in Abyss was.

Just for the hell of it, I ripped the logo from Graces' website:

3421628840_3eb7125edd_o.png


I can't find a way to get just the logo out of the website without any of the background.

The logos with the black background on various sites is lower in quality and size, that's why I chose this one. Also the background is beautiful, so it's not so bad that it has a background. :p

Edit: Have a bonus English one!:

How's putting more spinoffs on PSP the logical thing to do? Again, a spinoff on PSP is the best selling Tales over the last 4 years or so, a mothership title on it makes the most sense, I don't see how you can even argue that.

Maybe because if spinoffs can do well on the PSP, then main games could sell even better.

This is starting to sound like a Resident Evil Wii thread.

Great work on the US logo Hero :lol :lol :lol

Something like that must've taken hours to craft :lol

Hours, almost the whole morning! :O

I had to really motivate myself to do the impossible thing of using the bucket to make the area around the Japanese text black, but I didn't cower, I then had to use every ounce of my strength to pull that square cutter thing to remove all of that text, it was a nightmare! :O

Mother, don't make me do it again, DON'T MAKE ME DO IT AGAIN!!! :'O

That's smaller and lower in quality, I wanted a blank version of the one on the website.

I think the difference here is that RE4Wii/UC didn't outsell RE5, while TotW RM2 has outsold every Tales game since the PS2 era.

They should have added extra touches to the Graces moon to make it more ambiguously resemble a disco ball.

a Character and a couple extra dialogue lines are enough to justifiy a $400 purchase?

why not get ToV 360

knowing Namco they would prolly end up releasing the Pirate loli as DLC for 360..

I seriously wonder where the hell she fits in... Barbos' daughter?

I bought one like 2 years ago played a couple games and got bored with it, sold it for the same price I bought it for to some idiot and decided against the Wii...


hell I just heard that the cost of manufacturing the Wii has gone down like 40% but those pricks at Nintendo wont do a price drop...

I dont care if $250 is "affordable" something about that just annoys me

I have it for 360. Plus, I could sell it back, I really only have an HD console to get some of the rpgs. But, I'd rather just get dlc. I don't think it will come out as dlc for 360 version though.

Something tells me that the person(s) that caused the main character to take his vow to never let "that" happen to anyone else close to him will be revealed in a flash back and not some thing like this. (unless it was stated at the meeting that that girl was the person who died)

Theres also a smaller girl with blue hair, he is shown patting her on the head! :D

I hope ToV on PS3 makes it soon rather than later to the US. Never got around to really playing it on 360 and was going to get it this summer, but I'll wait and see now just incase due to the extra content.
