You would think that they are different enough games on different enough platforms to avoid any horrible problems though

Big releases can affect other big releases if they come out on the same day, whether or not they're in the same genre. People only have so much money to toss around.farnham said:

Well, its not like Gundam Musou 2, Fate Unlimited Codes, Suikoden DS, Pawapuro Pocket 11 DS, Momotaro Densetsu DS, Harvest Moon DS, Ragnarok Online DS and such are also released that day too.
Oh wait.
Oh wait.
I'm using this thread since there isn't any other info thread for this game and it's not huge news. There's an official blog for the game on the site now, and the most recent post said that the game will have over 80 hours of play time. The main story itself is supposed to be 45 hours long, and there'll be tons of optional side events and stuff. The game's been in development for about 2 years and the concept from the start was to create a RPG on the DS that has as much content as a console title, and be a real Tales mothership title.
I hope they're not lying because I ordered the game. 6680yen makes it pretty much the most expensive DS game ever. If this game sucks, I'm going to hate Tales for another few years. I hope it doesn't!

So they develop it like a console Tales, but schedule it for release like a handheld Tales.
You're confusing me, Namco!

Which one??
I do respect the team for throwing two versions with different styles for the cutscenes, trying to appeal to two different groups. But in Japan-land, I think the results will be very obvious...
Is this announced for the US? I'm curious if they are releasing both, and if so, I wonder which would appeal to the audience.

Handheld Tales of games don't come over. Team Destiny (or at least Team Destiny like) games don't come over. 2D Tales of games don't come over.Troidal said:
So no.

There's not even the smallest chance in hell duckroll would get the CG one. You see, he has functioning eyeballs.1cesc said:

My biggest fear is that the CG version will slightly outsell the animated one and Namco will take this as clear and obvious sign that no one wants animated Tales cutscenes.
Segata Sanshiro said:
Yeah, I think only blind people and fans that collect every single SKU will get the CG Edition. I actually have to give credit to the CG team for having some pretty impressive visual direction in the actual scenes, unfortunately the actual CG designs are so bad it renders it pointless. It's really weird that they chose to stick with the weird anime look even with realistic 3D models. The SO4 screens are giving me a similar feel actually, although it's better with most characters.

the only tales games that don't come over are the ones with artwork illustrated by Inomata.
Tempest (which didn't come over merely because it sucked crocodile excrement, i'm just using it to prove a point) and Innocence were both not Team Destiny games, but they had Inomata artwork. i think Scamco USA might think Inomata is too "girly" or something (hell if i know honestly).

I'm going to trust them (again?) this time, only because I trust Tales Studio a lot more when it comes to making mothership titles, and it seems like they really tried to put a lot of effort into making this as serious a project as the console mothership games.
Seems like a (much) higher budget game than Tempest and Innocence, now to just wait and hope this isn't a waste...

I noticed that too, even if it is just a coincidence. :lol
john tv said:So who's going to make the official thread? Any volunteers? (Don't volunteer if you can't make one that's at least as good as the Vesperia one was.
I want to try making an official thread, so I'll volunteer to do it.
Something like Vesperia's doesn't seem too hard to pull off.

Cool, it's all yours. I'm doing the Dissidia thread, so I don't want to be selfish and take this one too.
duckroll said:
Yikes...didn't realise 18th was so convoluted with releases. Dissidia will hit 450k first week surely. It has 20 years of fanservice plus Adhoc multiplayer. Recipe for success. Don't care for any of the other releases much, but I hope Lets Tap hits the top 10 and has some decent legs.

He's talking about the artwork itself, not the designs. Nomura's art is definitely to the tastes of boys. Thick line art, very defined characters, etc. Inomata's artwork is like stuff you find in girl comics in Japan. Lots of wavey strokes and very undefined characters - like in a watercolor painting.
You know, considering how ToH has assists attacks from various "Bandai Namco Games" characters, I wonder if KOS-MOS will make a showing. So far they've revealed Lloyd from ToS, Jade from TotA, Judas from ToD2 and Yayoi Takatsuki from Idolmaster. I also realized that this will be the first time we're seeing Lloyd and Jade in 2D.... ever!

exactly, also the skinny characters and massive eyes that she puts on them make most of her artwork look like something i'd see in a shojo manga.

Isn't Lloyd in one of those GBA Tales games?
