S.C.G Posted June 25, 2009 Posted June 25, 2009 I got my copy today, played an hour so far, kind of a generic start but it doesn't matter, everything else about the game seems spot-on, from the beautiful Production IG animated cutscenes to the skits and decent voiceover work, gonna enjoy getting more into this I think.
Illusionary Posted June 25, 2009 Posted June 25, 2009 Damn if the intro music isn't worryingly catchy... but I'm definitely loving what I've seen of the game so far. It's bringing back great memories of ToS on GC - but better Also, slightly OT, but why I have just got a big "?" on my Gamercard where the ToV icon should be?
drahkon Posted June 26, 2009 Posted June 26, 2009 It's bringing back great memories of ToS on GC - but better Sounds awesome. Just wanted to let you know: I hate you all. I want now =( Pre-ordered mine. Should be there when I'll be back from vacation. Can't wait.
Nintendo Fan Posted June 26, 2009 Posted June 26, 2009 Yes! just got home and there it is awesome, can't wait to get this started gotta have a shower first been out since 8, damn this weather :p
Ganepark32 Posted June 26, 2009 Posted June 26, 2009 Can't find it. Neither of the GAMEs I went to had it at all. No point in asking either because all new releases are kept in the case behind the counter and there were no copies in there. So not fair. Was really looking forward to getting this and getting my Tales of thing on.
marcel Posted June 26, 2009 Posted June 26, 2009 can anyone check if the rumored dual audio is availible in the PAL version? It seemed that the usa version did have dual audio fmv cutscenes but no option to switch.
ThePigMarcher Posted June 26, 2009 Posted June 26, 2009 Had a few trade-ins but I was too lazy to go into Town (where there are 2 Game stores and a Gamestation) so had to rely on my local Blockbuster. They didn't have this but I did manage to pick up Overlord 2 and OL : Dark Legend instead, thought it was a bit strange that they would have these games but not Tales. Will probably pick this up online instead when I have paid my credit card next week.
spirited away Posted June 26, 2009 Posted June 26, 2009 I keep getting annihilated by that damn golem boss. Any tips?
Emerald Emblem Posted June 26, 2009 Posted June 26, 2009 I'm so torn right now. Been waiting forever for this to come out. But ever since the Ps3 is also getting this and a few new extra's including a new character I adore the design for. If I were to get the 360 version would it be enjoyable enough for me to play the Ps3 version after?
Dyson Posted June 27, 2009 Posted June 27, 2009 If it is, then you havn't made a mistake. If you don't enjoy it enough, then the extras won't enhance the game and the wait will have been in vain. I say just go for it with that logic
EEVILMURRAY Posted June 27, 2009 Posted June 27, 2009 I'm sorely temptedings to get this. Highly recommendings? I'm so torn right now. Been waiting forever for this to come out. But ever since the Ps3 is also getting this and a few new extra's including a new character I adore the design for. If I were to get the 360 version would it be enjoyable enough for me to play the Ps3 version after? Would the game be any more enjoyable if you were wearing one of your favourite t-shirts?
Emerald Emblem Posted June 27, 2009 Posted June 27, 2009 I don't see your logic with that. A new character adds more to a game, an altered plot to some degree, another character to play as with new weapons and abilities to master. That is what makes it more difficult for me.

A new character adds more to a game, an altered plot to some degree, another character to play as with new weapons and abilities to master. That is what makes it more difficult for me. I know, I realised straight after posting but couldn't be bothered to delete it. But you've made me curious now. What does this new character offer?
Emerald Emblem Posted June 27, 2009 Posted June 27, 2009 Well we don't quite know what she offers yet. I love having a loli character in my RPG's, such as Presea from Symphonia. If the plot diverts from the regular storyline to include her then that might be worth replay value.

If the plot diverts from the regular storyline to include her then that might be worth replay value. loli character? If a game had a version which had a character like Presea added in, I'd pass. She's one of the worse characters in Symphonia, the history is interesting, but her presence afterwards is just boring.
S.C.G Posted June 27, 2009 Posted June 27, 2009 Seriously it's not worth the wait :P plus you know that the content will just be made available for the 360 version as a download anyway, and if that's not possible, then none of the extra content is integral to the main 'proper' unaltered story, don't forget, this was announced for the 360 first, the only reason it's appearing in expanded form is most likely because Sony threw money at Namco-Bandai.
ShadowV7 Posted June 27, 2009 Posted June 27, 2009 Has this even been confirmed for a PS3 release out of Japan yet? I really doubt it'll happen if it's not confirmed.
D_prOdigy Posted June 27, 2009 Posted June 27, 2009 Has this even been confirmed for a PS3 release out of Japan yet? I really doubt it'll happen if it's not confirmed. What I really want to know is whether the PS3 version will be getting a massive content update and huge additions. What I'm trying to bang at is whether it's a mere port or a sort of director's cut. Can anyone tell me?
S.C.G Posted June 27, 2009 Posted June 27, 2009 It will be, Sony wouldn't have thrown so much money at Namco-Bandai to put extra content into the PS3 version only to release it in just one region surely? Having said that though, Tales of Symphonia was ported to the PS2 in Japan only. What I really want to know is whether the PS3 version will be getting a massive content update and huge additions. What I'm trying to bang at is whether it's a mere port or a sort of director's cut. Can anyone tell me? It's neither really, I'd say an updated port, the content added doesn't really make it a director's cut, the addition of the extra character doesn't seem to make a lot of sense either.
Illusionary Posted June 27, 2009 Posted June 27, 2009 (edited) I keep getting annihilated by that damn golem boss. Any tips? What level are your characters? I'm up to level 14-15 and had little problem, with the help of a few healing items (make sure you're well stocked with these!). You might also just to need to level up a little.

Sheikah Posted June 27, 2009 Posted June 27, 2009 Has this even been confirmed for a PS3 release out of Japan yet? I really doubt it'll happen if it's not confirmed. Eternal Sonata was released on PS3 over here after originally being for 360 only, and the Tales series games are far more popular RPGs. So it's pretty much a certainty.
Emerald Emblem Posted June 28, 2009 Posted June 28, 2009 Seriously it's not worth the wait :P plus you know that the content will just be made available for the 360 version as a download anyway After Eternal Sonata do you really believe they'd offer downloads for these upgrades to the 360 version? Anyway, I've ordered it from gameplay.
S.C.G Posted June 28, 2009 Posted June 28, 2009 After Eternal Sonata do you really believe they'd offer downloads for these upgrades to the 360 version? *shrugs* they should regardless because it is possible, things like the costumes will be added 'fo sho at some point but they could offer it all moreorless in one downloable patch.
Goron_3 Posted June 28, 2009 Posted June 28, 2009 Right I want to go and boy this soon as i LOVED Symphonia, but most places seem to be selling it at £40...Anyone know the cheapest place for me to get it?
S.C.G Posted June 28, 2009 Posted June 28, 2009 * Branching Storylines * Full voice acting in story- Double the voicework of the 360 * Flynn as a playable character * Ties-In with Tales of Vesperia: The First Strike * New playable character, a pirate girl called Patty Fleur * New Cutscenes and old cutscenes improved. * New Subplots * New Costumes * New Story elements * New Bosses * New Dungeons * New Hi Ougi/Mystic Artes * New Skits * New Animated Scenes * New Sidequests * New Songs * New Artes * New Monsters * Repede now as a selectable on screen avatar * Repede also gains costumes unlike 360. Bolded the stuff from that list that I'd probably be interested in, I still don't see why they couldn't add all of that as a downloadable patch... Burnout get's huge content updates every now and then so surely the same can be done for this? then again, Sony will probably flash more cash to keep even the extra content exclusive. Oh well, if I really want the extra content that badly then I'll get the PS3 version, but not before I enjoy playing Tales of Vesperia months before the PS3 version even gets released :p enjoy the wait if you're only buying it on PS3 but tbh if you have both consoles you might as well enjoy it on the 360 now and the PS3 later. Right I want to go and boy this soon as i LOVED Symphonia, but most places seem to be selling it at £40...Anyone know the cheapest place for me to get it? Sorry Goron, all the places I know of stock eet for £39.99 but tbf it IS worth it. ^^ http://www.play.com/Games/Xbox360/4-/6080057/Tales-Of-Vesperia/Product.html
