Agreed. If there is to be a world map, there is no way to do it better, less for the sake of nostalgia.jj984jj said:

This one. If you want some basic spoilers which they've decided are small enough to mention in previews and interviews, which sound pretty fucking big and I'm a bit pissed about knowing,
Lloyd burns down the protagonists' village or something along those lines. He kills both of the protagonists parents I believe? Or they die in the shifting of Tetha'alla and Sylvarant or something.
I doubt those spoilers are that big... I'm guessing they're probably beginning-of-the-game stuff that's laid out just to provide a reason for the characters to go on a journey to begin with. Could be very wrong, of course!
Or wait 20 days for the Japanese release and then look around the Internet for spoilers. I wonder if I'll be able to resist.AceBandage said:

Battles looks neat. nice to see Misono doing another Tales Theme, what is this, her third?
Jiggy37 said:
I don't doubt it. And I already know
they'll create some lame excuse for why Lloyd isn't really evil, like he was brainwashed or something. That they're so open about this "twist" makes it obvious it won't be permanent... and, you know, it's a Tales game.
I also wonder if I'll be able to resist the spoilers. I don't particularly care about the story in the games, to be honest, but I still appreciate being hit by it when I play it.

By the way, this is still coming apparently, but isn't a Tales game (?).
Or something. Who the hell knows?

Those aren't even spoilers guys, it was one of the first things mentioned about the game. Basically after the 2 worlds united in one a bunch of shit happened what you would expect by 2 worlds magically uniting --- climate disasters, changed maps, random deaths. So the main character, in his infinite stupidity, blames Lloyd and thus we have the start of a exceedingly pointless story

Lloyd turned evil after he was forced into a shitty game called Soul Calibur Legends. He comes back super pissed, and slaughters kittens.

Very nice ! Anticipation rising .
Well, besides a few anecdotes about the game's productions (i.e. the "master up" of the game is ready), the main topic of this entry is actually the "Kick" which is used in battle. For example, Emil, despite being a sword user, is able to do a roundhouse kick to hit the surrounding enemies. Same for Marta, whose kicking animation is a bit different, but has the same effect. There's also Regal, who can hit a single enemy with a 3 hits combo kick, ending with an jumping knee kick. Hell, even the mage Refill can perform a kick.
In fact, I think the pictures in the article pretty much speak for themselves :
Emil :
Marta :
Regal :
In the end, he insists on how especially smooth the battle moves are, especially the kick (thanks to the motion-capture, I suppose).

.Probably not for us Tales "veterans", but it is noticeable that a pretty substancial part of this blog seems directed to those newcomers who've never even played ToS or any Tales of before, which includes explaining in details some of the most trivial facts of the game or the series...Which is still pretty reasonable, in my opinion.Blackjack said:

Maybe the cuffs are a symbol of whateverthefuck happened in ToS?(I can't remember) Regal continues to wear them in remembrance of ???? or because he's a huge idiot.
Then again maybe the developers are just lazy. *shrug*
Cause seriously even if you're such an ultimate badass that you don't need your hands to kill stuff it certainly couldn't hurt to have them free for when you eat or you have an itch on your lower back.

I wonder if in DotNW somebody is going to ask Regal why he's still wearing those cuffs and Namco/Bandai manage to come up with a ridiculous scenario to explain it.
Then again they could just ignore it completely. I mean hell it's not like any of the people in the actual game are going to care. Once you get over the fact that one of your party members is a 40 year old little girl some guy who wears handcuffs all day every day isn't even worth a second look.

Lloyd, Zelos, Presea, and Regal.
Interesting line-up, it has a little of everything. I did learn to use Regal in one of my playthroughs but he became a little stagnant for me, and he could consume TP just as bad as Lloyd. And now with Marta....who is like a fighter/caster/healer all in one package, I see Regal being put on side-lines for a long time for some people. Well, unless he has some sort of advantage.

I think I had Lloyd, Zelos, Presea, and Raine as my main party. That worked well enough for me.
I hope they varied the kick power depending on character, e.g. Regal's would be the strongest, then Colette/Zelos/Presea in some order, then everybody else. (Well, maybe not Zelos. I'm not clear on whether he
had strength on par with Colette (or Presea, but Colette's obviously the more direct comparison here) in the ending where
, since he either couldn't lift Regal or was faking that he couldn't. But Colette and Presea should definitely be up there.)
was still an angel who would have obviously
he lives
Never used him for anything except the sake of completionism, i.e. colosseum items and the one title. Not getting into my reasons why again, but eesh, biggest whiner ever. :/GamerSoul said:

Definitely looking very good.
Any NeoJapanners know if there will be any bonus content for those with gamecube completed saves?

What are the chances the English dub will use the same voice?
It just won't be Lloyd to me unless I hear "Titans, GO!" in my head at the start of every battle.
