Hey! ><duckroll said:You're proud of getting one out of two?
Edit: Actually, scrap that. You got the team wrong too! :lol
I got Tales of the Tempest right too, and while this one is Fujishima Tales, it isn't Yoshizumi as producer so its not locked to be Team Symphonia :/

Probably DS, Wii or PSP.

I want a cel-shaded PS3 Tales game, with an online battle arena like Symphonia's one, where you could perhaps play as any Tales character. Create a Tales Dream team and take them online to fight.

I really don't think Vesperia is gonna be a DS game. I get the impression Namco just saw ToI's current sales and have decided to rush this new one onto a different system. Whether it's been planned for a while or not is uncertain. I really doubt even Scamco are going to announce another Tales game for the DS just 2 weeks after ToI came out.
I'm really thinking it's a PSP game, since they've actually cultivated a Tales fanbase there with all those ports and they could sell enough on there to make it lucrative.
It might even be a PS3 game, since the Wii is getting ToS2 or whatever it is and the PS3 could have the WW userbase to make a Tales game on there worthwhile. Kind of like Symphonia on the Cube really. Hell, PS3/360 might work.

I'm really hoping this is a proper next-gen release. Eternal Sonata got me really excited about this possibility.

Really?? Have you ever worked in any kind of business situation, ever? No company would look at the sales of a product on a particular platform for ONE WEEK and then make a decision accordingly. I don't think Vesperia is going to be on DS, but *surprise* companies plan alot further out than you are insinuating.
It's definitely not going to be DS (it doesn't sound like this is outsourced to a cheap codefactory) or Wii.
So... your theory is they've been developing the game for the DS, but they decided a couple days ago to move it to another platform and... you think no one'll notice its origins?

Including ports/directors cuts and new installments, Namco releases way too much Tales games in Japan, but the hate this series gets around here is a little bit over the top.
The last main Tales game which was released here is Tales of the Abyss, which was fantastic (minus the technical issues)...but well, I guess it's cool to hate the whole series based alone on Namco's stupid decisions...
Even with me defending the series- one main game every 2-3 years or so would be more than enough

My theory is that Namco announced Vesperia, if it's for DS or PSP, which they've probably had planned for a while, just after ToI's release at JF because...ethelred said:
If it's for PSP, ToI isn't reaching their sales expectations and they're announcing this so soon so they can get the Tales fanbase on the PSP galvanised and wanting to actually buy this.
If it's for DS, they want to confirm that they actually meant what they said at that Tales conference long ago, so the Tales fans will buy the DS games in greater numbers.
If it's for a console, then JF being so close to ToI's launch is just interesting timing.
On that old roadmap, back then when ToI and ToS:KoR were revealed, there were two big blobs: DS and Wii. Would a spinoff like ToS:KoR warrant a big blob? If it doesn't, ToV for Wii might be the explanation for making DS and Wii appear equal. The roadmap was for 2007 and 2008, PSP was a small blob (which means a main Tales game makes no sense), PS3 and Xbox360 weren't mentioned at all. And I doubt their plans changed recently.
If this is Team Symphonia/Abyss doing it, than any complaints about running this series into the ground should be discarded, since this would be a real entry into the series. Not a "fake" real like Innocence, if that makes any sense.

...I do? That's news to me. Please, fill me in on more information about the stuff I like.
And to clarify, I enjoy Kingdom Hearts in the sense that I can enjoy just about anything I play at the moment at which I am playing something, while still being able to recognize and deride its flaws later. A rather useful trait, I've found.
