Hey wait... Sword of Legendia? Anyway... All I want is Sword of the Abyss, or something (Tales of the Abyss is ToS "unoficial" sequel) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
darksnowman Posted September 14, 2006 Share Posted September 14, 2006 So this is a Tales game being brought to us? Couldnt the battle system work well as a hack and slashathon with the Wii remote...? Or are you still skeptical pedro?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stocka Posted September 14, 2006 Share Posted September 14, 2006 ! Love the title, when I first saw the title I thought it was some kind of Skies of Arcadia sequel or something lol. Thank god, an RPG! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Couldnt the battle system work well as a hack and slashathon with the Wii remote...? Or are you still skeptical pedro??Dunno, it could have nothing to do with (Tales of) Legendia, Namco didn't elaborate on this. The battle system of a Tales game could work well with the wiimote, since you control the main character in the battles, it's probably easy to implement on a game with a sidescroller 2D action (legendia is a 3D sidescroller with 2D action) than on a Game like ToSymphonia or TotAbyss who have real 3D action. This is just a educated guess though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
system_error Posted September 14, 2006 Share Posted September 14, 2006 If that game is just ToS with a different story I will buy it. No matter if the graphics, battle mechanics, etc. are the same. I love Tales! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stocka Posted September 16, 2006 Share Posted September 16, 2006 This is from a video interview about it: Apparently that character looks like an older 'Chloe Valens' Who is this? someone from a Tales game I take it? EDIT: Oh she's from Tales of Legendia! Don't see the similarities myself. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dante Posted September 16, 2006 Share Posted September 16, 2006 Sword of Legendia and not Sword of Symphonia? Sound to me like a remake of Tales of Legendia as fp sword fight rpg. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dante Posted April 18, 2008 Share Posted April 18, 2008 1UP: Tell us about Tales Studio. How many different teams do you have working on individual Tales projects? What outside developers do you work with, and does Namco make any of the Tales games in-house? YH: Basically [there are three teams at Tales Studio]. [As for outside developers, besides us there] is Alfa System, who made Radiant Mythology. And currently, no [Tales games] are being developed in-house. Legendia was developed in-house at the time. Also, Tales of Fandom 2, though I don't think that's coming out in the U.S. 1UP: Any plans for a North American release for Tales of Innocence? TG: Not at this time. 1UP: Back when the Wii was first announced, Namco announced a game called "Swords of Legendia". Is this game still in development? What can you tell us about it, and when will we be seeing more of it? TG: I'm in charge of that. We're working on it now, development is proceeding. That isn't a Tales game, though. www.1up.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
darksnowman Posted April 18, 2008 Share Posted April 18, 2008 So Sword of Legendia (or is it Swords of Legendia now?) is not a Tales of game, but its still underway? Interesting. Maybe if they have been plugging away at it then something will appear at E3. Having no plans to bring Tales of Innocence out of Japan is stupid.

Dante Posted April 18, 2008 Share Posted April 18, 2008 It is the classic saying that 3rd games dont well on nintendo consoles and when the games dont sell its the "I told you so that nintendos fans only buy nintendo games". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Really seems like they don't want to, though; which is a shame. Without them Wii will be a good console, worth for a few games and all that, but never achieve what it could have been; just like they'll never achieve the sales they could if they hadn't bias towards it. Not to say they're the only culprits, but can we blame customers from expecting crap from third party's on the Wii now? So, even if developers are a "part" of the problem, the other "parts" of it were mostly created by them just the same. Start showing effort, and putting system sellers on the system and that could change of course... but they have to do it as soon as possible and prominently, not test waters indefinitely; we're not their guinea pigs of the shortest stick.

Ten10 Posted April 18, 2008 Share Posted April 18, 2008 And I was just checking up on this the other day to see if it had been cancelled. I thought namco had a good relationship with nintendo in the cube days. It seems in the wii era they are the only ones who went sour. While everyone else sweetened up.

Dante Posted April 19, 2008 Share Posted April 19, 2008 Some game companies used the wii as easy cash machine for 360/PS3 HD gaming. Other developers want to used the high tech specs that they can get to show of the games in full and ideas that dont think it will work using the Wii.

If they don't even try to push the console, of course it'll never touch such boundaries and it's the one who needs the most to do that, and still, most next gen experiences could be recreated to some extent in it, and in some cases completely; thing is... that would give work, work that they don't have. Giving it bad support is also a attempt to shovel it away while making some money, IMO. And... once we know it's going nowhere... they ought to deliver, instead of getting more and more excuses.
