A couple of years ago there was a (Dutch? Was it?) retailer who listed Tales of Vesperia coming out in English for the PS3 and nothing came of it. So even though it has a fair chance of happening this doesn't mean anything yet.

It was obviously going to happen, the only question was if they were going to try and get a double-dip out of the western market as well as the Japanese one.
It's Bandainamco and they have been experimenting a lot on PC since Dark Souls. The game is also on the steam database which imply a build of it was or is at least worked on.

I recall that too, but in between Bamco actively developing PS4 ports specifically for the western market (i.e. Godzilla, J Stars+, the latter of which's PS4 version still seems to be western exclusive at the moment, weirdly enough), and Tales games already having a habit of getting updated ports, there's far too much smoke for there not to be a fire.
How come the next Tales game is years out? Is it because they're gearing up for the PS4 transition or because the next game isn't announced yet?
Pretty sure Alicia has been taken out of the game and replaced with a more generic looking male NPC. Maybe that would be a better solution? XD
Looks like they wrapped up work 2 months ago and are ready for release on PC barring any last-minute tuning.
That sounds about right considering the timeline of information we've received so far.
I'm sure at the minimum they'll want to increase the resolution and frame rate.
Especially the frame rate.

If this is the "big surprise" then that's pretty disappointing.
Sure if they are just releasing it for the west
Timing it with tales fest suggests otherwise though

I'm always wary of these retail listings, but regardless, Zestiria for the PS4 is a no-brainer considering the PS3 is dying off.
Personally, I'm mildly excited about a PS4 version of Zestiria. The battle system looks really nice and fluid. However, I've heard that people had issues with the story

, namely Alisha leaving the party. The DLC that was supposed to focus on Alisha ended up spotlighting Rose (the character who replaces Alisha) more than her -_-
The link in the first post in that topic is just for the package, here's the link for the application, which was last updated 1 day ago at the time of this post:
https://steamdb.info/app/351970
(Got the link for the application in the history tab in the package page, in that tab it says the application was removed from the package, most likely in an attempt to hide it?)
But I like the last gen malarkey, it's cheaper on my wallet.
Tales are usually only on Sony system.
I guess you missed out on Graces F, Xillia and Xillia 2.
Considering Japanese fans' reaction to the DLC episode and the game in general... I can't imagine this news getting a positive reception over there.
I don't blame them, either. Bamco's essentially asked them to buy two games for Vesperia, Graces, and Xillia considering how unfinished Xillia 1 was.
If it is going to PS4, I hope they fix a lot of the issues the PS3 version has. But I'm honestly baffled as to what they're trying to accomplish here. PS3 Zestiria felt kind of rushed despite supposedly having a decently long development time. And now it's going to be ported to PS4? I don't understand anything Bamco does regarding Tales anymore.

Why would Xbox One get JRPG's?
There's no chance they'd announce a PS4 version and then not localize it, right? Or would it perhaps be delayed so the PS3 version would come out first?
I wonder if a PS4 version would include the DLC or not. Probably not so they can charge us. If they could improve the various technical issues I've heard about, that would be nice.

They haven't got the last three console tales games, why would it change now?
And Microsoft only got ToV because at that time Microsoft wanted jap support.

It makes sense in the West most people have moved onto the new systems. I would prefer it on PS4 as its the last PS3 game on my list to buy. Although I still have a number of PS3 games to beat it just makes it easier to play for when I eventually put the PS3 in the closet.

I suggest you do some light reading and see WHY MS got those games.

That's a pretty exhaustive list actually.
It was a system wide change to hide package names. However packages that were previously leaked still are identified. I don't think the application got deleted, see no signs of it. All the main packages are still there.
Reason why I said it was prepped for release barring last minute tune-ups was because they set all the variables that you normally see changed when a release is soon, such as ones that disallow cross-region trading and such.
However it looks like some changes are still happening, so we'll see how it goes.
I meant that the application (which I linked in my previous post) was removed from the TOZ package, not that it was deleted. ^^;
The application itself is being updated quite often.
Best Buy, too:
http://www.bestbuy.com/site/tales-of-zestiria-playstation-4/6687238.p?id=1219665416667&skuId=6687238
Both this and the PS3 version are listed for release on October 27.
Probably gonna be announced at Tales Fes.

Yeah, and theylist the PS3 version for $40 while the PS4 version is $60. So even the pricing seems realistic for what NAMCO will do. Amazon and Gamestop had already dropped the PS3 price.
Nice!
Though I was hoping we'd get a new mainline Tales of around August for the 3rd year in a row. They'll have missed their promised 6 months localization gap.

This is the worst kept secret ever. Placed a preorder.
Hell this probably requires a new thread considering Best Buy having it up for preorder is pretty big.

Thank god. After FFXHD getting a PS4 port I'm skeptical as hell about buying any new PS3 games.
My question was why would Xbox One get JRPG's, not why Xbox 360 had them.
Xbox One is a completely different beast, in the people running the ship, their motives, and the appeal to the people who actually buy the device itself.
Not to mention the established trend of X box owners not buying Japanese games, especially jrpgs, that we see in retail. I've talked about it in other threads, but the preorders and total sales for Japanese games is always deeply skewed in favor of Ps4. I don't think the Japanese publishers see a reason to port their games to XB1, and ms doesn't see a reason to pay to get them.

do these games become rare?
Not anymore to my knowledge. I have Tales of Destiny PS1 which apparently got pretty rare. But the PS2 and PS3 games seem pretty common.
DaanMuffin

thanks, don't like pre-ordering but might want to get this game.
Exactly, its at the point where selling japanese games for the smaller devs for XB1 is not even a consideration, as the minuscule projected sales from that ecosystem don't even cover the money lost porting it, even with the easier architecture between devices in this gen.
Eh, honestly, I rather wait for the announcement and the MSRP because BB sucks at retroactively applying new MSRPs to old preorders unless they've fixed that recently. It's a small hassle that shouldn't have to happen in the first place.

Can't wait for this to become official so I can finally put my PS3 in the closet to rest.. It have been good 9 years.

I've never played a Tales of... game despite enjoying JRPGs. Art style/characters always put me off, but I think I'll give this a go if it does come to PS4. More japanese games the better.
