It was 40 bucks though. lol

was it? idk. well wii games are like $50 at most. anyhow i remember paying more than $20, so thats full price for me

what was teh reason why they didn't use the same VA?

i mean jyb was in the game already...

 

[Rapscallion]

No pictures or video of the sequel? I'm somewhat interested in playing it, but if it's not that much more impressive I'd probably just go with the wii version.

The original is great, but I have no interest in ever playing it again.

Not many screens but:

Emil Trailer

Marta Trailer

Definitely not a fan of that voice.

 

[Flamfas]

Kratos = Ludger
Presea = Elise (X1)
Zelos = Alvin (X1)

ToX/X2 save data unlocks early, else second playthrough.

http://taletalesource.blog69.fc2.com/blog-entry-3101.html

Haven't seen them yet, bet that Alvin one is going to be atrocious.

 

[Vanille]

Gross.

 

[Seda]

I guessed Elize right but I guessed Jude for Zelos.

 

[Flamfas]

Assuming they follow the save data pattern, Raine and Regal will get Graces costumes ...

Wonder what they'll choose?

 

[dakkumauji]

Kratos' will probably be rocking.

Presea's ok.

Well at least Ludger's Emil costume wouldn't be the worse cameo costume in the series!

 

[Seda]

I had some time on my hands so I updated the OP with everything we have, screens/videos, etc.

 

[dakkumauji]

If those two are from Graces, then Raine should probably be Pascal. It's probably the only one that doesn't just sound like a terrible idea from the get-go.

Regal should get Malik. He'll look quite suave in it.

 

[Bladenic]

Yuck at all those costumes. At least we westerners will be able to get the ToX ones early haha. Too bad about Ludger and Vesperia ones (unless they come up with a new way of early unlocking for NA but I doubt it).

Still, all these costumes will look like shit haha. I haven't liked a single one thus far, except maybe Judith for Sheena.

Regal will definitely get Malik. Should actually look okay and fit. I guess Raine will get Pascal but that will be weird.

 

[R_thanatos]

Ludger for kratos ? Yuck

i have no problem with teh character but i always found his first design horrible. ( his alt is so much better ).

i won't use this costumes.

 

[ohlawd]

them not touching the original battle system is cool in my book.

If they can add Free Run, that's even better.

The main problem with Sheena's Judith costume is that it literally looks like Judith.

I think Pascal is probably the only Graces girl that has a costume that wouldn't look all out of place for Raine. Raine's problem is that she's tall for a female so Sophie's already ugly outfit would look terrible, and Cheria's would just be another bunny costume probably mostly cause of that short skirt.

Though, if they extend the potential characters to outside playables, Raine could possibly look pretty nice in Emeraude's outfit. Or they could do a pairing and give her Victoria's outfit.

That's asking for too much haha. It sucks they are limiting themselves to current gen PS3 games except for Lloyd and Genis. Not only do most cameo costumes just not fit and look terrible, they look even worse due to the game's graphics. Meh.

 

[Flamfas]

Raine obviously needs Richard's f arc costume, complete with hooker heels

Terrible idea IMO. Throwing Free Run in the game without extensively re-working the combat will only give us a repeat of Abyss, where the system was hilariously broken.

That's the point. I loved Abyss precisely because the battle system was broken; I could turn on cruise control and still come out on top.

Plus it still had the old "combo with a base arte then arcane arte" style. You know, simple.

please namco ignore this crazy man

he is crazy

 

[Flamfas]

Well the costumes look better than I expected. Nice cut-ins for the Lloyd, Genis, and Presea, too.

 

[VanillaCakeIsBurning]

I keep on seeing this thread come up thinking it's a total remake.

Only in my dreams

 

[Fisico]

Scans I assume

 

[Flamfas]

Yup, I'd share if I could hah.

I'm sure you can find them for yourself if you know where to look though ; )

 

[Fisico]

Yeah more or less, Nore and hachimaki didn't have it though.

Kratos looks dumb imo, maybe this is the stance which doesn't fit him at all.

Famitsu has their article up ^^

Holy shit that Emil and Marta pic. Bow based ufotable.

 

[Seda]

Kratos-Ludger looks incredibly silly

 

[RPGCrazied]

Can't wait to see Zelos dressed up as Alvin!

 

[Seda]

-Famitsu - August 21-

 

[RPGCrazied]

Yeah, don't like Ludgers outfit on Kratos. And what happened to Zelos's hair? Alvin didn't have it like that.

 

[Kincaido]

Kratos Ludger just looks wrong. I blame the graphics style.

 

[Rhapsody]

Symphonia with cameo costumes just look really weird lol. They just don't fit that well.

And looking at Presea's MA screenshot, almost forgot the crazy requirements you need to use it.

 

[Auskeek]

Presea cut-in looks awesome! It's a shame that everybody else has to be dead though.

 

[dakkumauji]

It's silly how Presea's costume only looks decent.

Yeah, Kratos's just looks weird and I guess at least they changed Zelos's hair to be presentable.

On the other hand, I am liking all the fun they are having with the attachements for Emil and Marta.

 

[Jiraiza]

Is Namco sticking with ufotable as their to-go animation studio now?

I'm okay with this.

 

[kayos90]

ufotable did all the recent symphonia ovas. they're probably just promoting it cuz of the symphonia BD release.

 

[Bladenic]

Wait Ufotable is doing this? Sweet.

I wish they weren't spoiling all the new cut ins but they look good.

 

[RPGCrazied]

Are they redoing the anime scenes, or no?

 

[dakkumauji]

Sheena's character video.

Look how RED that switch is.

Then watch Judith Sheena fight a bit.

Sheena's theme might be my favorite 'character' theme in the game.

And man you weren't kidding about that switch.

 

[Ultimadrago]

Agreed.

Agreed. It just looks odd. In fact, the game itself hasn't really aged gracefully, even with the graphical "upgrade"

 

[GamerSoul]

wow looking through the OP brought back some memories, I recently bought Dawn of the new world and it's better than I thought.

 

[Seda]

Pretty small screens though

http://tos-u.tales-ch.jp/index.php

 

[Seda]

Siliconera got a hold of some screens from Bamco, some are bigger versions of the ones found on the website.

[Cess007]

That Lloyd face. Oh damn, still cracks me up everytime i see it xD

 

[MrSaturn99]

the Lloyd face from the wanted poster

my god

Don't make me want to play through DONW again, Namco.

 

[dakkumauji]

Kratos looks dead in that costume.

Vast improvement on Emil's face.

I hope they go crazy on the attachments.
