Been a while since I heard a male main char that sounded so obviously like the girl who voice acted him.
Other than that, the trailer was overall a disappointment to someone who didn't expect much anyway. I'm just not diggin' the atmosphere so far.

You're talking to someone who watches too much anime here. I know how it works and even then he still sounds absurdly girly.

the towns looks great, the world map/field less so
Not bad. Other than the air-walking & weird "monsters getting hit" animations, this game seems to deliver. The production value give it the allure of an console game. Hell, seems that the game will have a full VA treatment! Oh, and the battle animations for the main characters looks really nice.
Thoughts:
-Well, that trailer is the quick way to catapult to being my fourth most wanted game just a couple days after being announced. Potential for third, even.
-So judging by voices and all that vague personality info released before, it seems we've got a wussy male protagonist and an assertive or perhaps domineering female. This is fine by me, and actually probably more than fine--I like the idea.
-The overworld and towns look close to Tales of Symphonia, to me. Great job. Battles, though, not so much. Of course, in the heat of a good battle (whether in an RPG or fighting game or anything else) I tend to not notice graphics anyway, so it might be a moot point.
-Love the music, but I hope the overall game isn't quite as serious as this one theme would suggest. I'm guessing it won't be, considering we're dealing with two 15-year-old protagonists, but eh... Serious plots tend to fall apart for me much more often than not, unless the game they're in has Baten Kaitos in the title.

I pity the fool who isnt hyped by this trailer
While it isnt quite as stellar as the DQIX announcement and screens, but it sure got me excited. Hopefully the battle system is as smooth to control as they made us believe in the trailer; more important than damage animations imo.

Yes! This is the best looking game on DS so far, as far as I'm concerned. Those towns look amazing, and the world map is as good as Symphonias (which did admittedly look like a PSone map ).
This'd better get translated!

Looks nice!
AS is the developer, and everybody seems to like TotW... so... it has a good chance of being good ...
The battles effects need improvement though, maybe they could use 2D pictures/sprites [like SSBM] for the attacks' effects so they look better...
If the game isn't using the second screen, maybe it could achieve 60fps so the animation looks better...
BTW, is it confirmed that Sakuraba is not working on this? I mean, he even worked on Tales of the Tempest [without Tamura]... and that's one of the few positive things I've read about the game [if any ]...

Yeah, it's nice, but the character models are not that great.

Great trailer. Loved the music, the characters seem ok and the battles looked nice, but a bit bare bones. There seems to be a bit of voice there and more importantly it seems to have much more budget going into it than Tempest, all in all, very nice, Graphics look great.
Some of the best we've seen on the DS so far I'd say.

Ichigo has a point there, the other two sounded better!
But meh, we've had crappy names since ever. Only a couple of them sound good to me. No biggie.

Awesdome trailer but i also remmeber saying awesome to Tales of the Tempest and look how that turned out :lol
At least the towns and the battle system seems to be much more better in terms of presentation, graphics and overall effort.

Well, I also wouldn't mind Valoria, but the 'ia' thing is getting old.Kurosaki Ichigo said:
Tales of Strife plz! By Team Symphonia for the 360/PS3.

Yeah, Tempest never looked this good. Heck it didn't get such a neat promotional video, it was very near its release that we finally got a decent length (but showed little in the way of battle and actual gameplay, just a mish mash of some short scenes) but it was overshadowed by the Destiny remake hype. This on the other hand isn't ashamed to show up cool towns, cutscenes, character interaction, voice acting and battles, it'll undoubtedly be the superior of the two, by a fair margin I'd say.

DS is really taking off
I can't wait to have the money to collect all the RPG gems.
I hope this turns out well

I really can't stand the main character design, silver hair, big ass sword and a girly voice. Although the Zoro like guy seemed cool.

The character models are visibly better than DQM:J, Final Fantasy 3, Chocobo Tales, and Final Fantasy: Crystal Chronicles, and I'd say roughly on par with what we've seen of Final Fantasy IV so far and probably just a shade less good looking than DQ9 (largely due to art style)
I guess you could make the argument that all DS titles don't have great character models, but besides that, this is top calibre for the DS.
