Agreed that they probably didnt' decide this just because of ToS:KoR, but I think it moved 120k in its first week.SantaC said:

A bit of spoilers in there if you haven't played ToD or ToDr at all.

Tales of Destiny Remake is so beautifully insane.
It's like it used to be for all games before the "it's must be realistic 3D graphic before I even care" craze started.Desi said:
Team Destiny is one of the last remaining "major" developer keeping and actually expanding the staff proficient in good 2D based art and gameplay. They have a very distinct art style directed by Yasuyuki Sawadaishi which gradually made a smooth move from pure 2D to 2D sprites/3D backgrounds first in battles and since ToDr everywhere. The 2D fighter based battle system perfected in ToE had been developed further by Tatsuro Udo so far with twists making it fresh in every new game (in a way I still don't see Team Symphonia's ToV managing). They are due with a new game this December based on the Tales Studio head's Eiji Kikuchi's (2003) plan of having one major new game every two years. The ToH screen so far employ their style in various ways (distinct art style, 2D on 3D, UI, battle positioning graph). Another puzzle piece fitting in this is Shinji Tamura (who only composes for Tales Studio games wise) who mentioned working on DS sampling/sequencing on his blog the past February.
Regarding the remaining doubt if it's indeed by Team Destiny: The only other Tales related dev which handled 2D before is Alpha where the *same* staff (check it) which handled ND2 and ND3 went on doing RM1, ToI and now most likely RM2. The whole industry except niche developers pretty much moved away from 2D beginning last gen already
I'm still angry about tri-Ace tossing out their 2D staff back then, still doubt they are doing VP DS completely themselves
I'm waiting for the staff list as usual.

They spin a wheel with 10 "No" tiles and one "yes" and decide which games to release based on that. Rule #1 of the wheel is that you never question the wheel.

TAles of Hearts looks great outside of the CG characters.

Could this be sort of a "Legendia" type of entry?
Jesus christ, what a trainwreck of a thread.
I've been trying to find information about the announcements and I get spammed with garbage.
Poster 1: ToH looks ugly, it won't be localized.
Poster 2: ToH looks amazing!
Poster 3: Looks amazing too bad it won't be localized
Poster 4,5,6: OT about how Namco Hometek sucks.
Poster 7: Too bad it won't be localized
duckroll: useful info
Poster 8: looks ugly. Too bad it won't be localized
Poster 9: Mothership for Wii. take that!
Poster 11: some bs about each console getting their turn
Poster 12: the arrows indicate Vesperia is MAINLINE too!
Poster 13: ToR is closer to the arrow, it must be a more mainline game!
Poster 14: Looks good. too bad it won't be localized.
ughhh...

Okay, I think we have confirmation that it is most likely Team Destiny working on ToH. In the link that neo posted earlier: http://www.gpara.com/pickupnews/news/080707_tales/
The producer Hideo Baba introduces Tales of Hearts as the "first Tales game developed internally at Namco Tales Studio for the Nintendo DS. He goes on to say that the game is follows closely in the style of Tales of Destiny PS2. Unless this is by some new internal team like ToL or ToS KoR was, it's almost certainly Team Destiny. After all, they have to have been working on something all these years.
