Earlier today was the second day of Tales of Festival 2010, but unlike yesterday there doesn't seem to be that much news coming, except for the rest of the popularity poll results and some other minor Tales news.
As we reported on earlier, Tales of Phantasia: Narikiri Dungeon X will be receiving a pre-order bonus DVD. The name of the DVD will be Dramatic DVD Tales of Costume!?. There's also rumours that an Asbel costume for Dio will be made available, which would make sense considering he appears on the DVD.

Earlier today was the first day of Tales of Festival 2010, which brought some new news along with it, along with partial results of the Tales of Popularity poll that was going on at Tales Channel earlier this year.
Namco Bandai has confirmed the rumors that Tales of Phantasia: Narikiri Dungeon X will be having demos. The first demo will hit in early July, which will focus on the improved battle system in the Tales of Phantasia part of the game. Later in the month, a second demo will hit which features the Narikiri Dungeon X portion of the game. The rumored August 5, 2010 release date was also confirmed at the event.
As for the rumored PS3 Tales game, known as Tales of Unitia, the game was a no-show at the Festival except for a mention that this Summer a "major" announcement would occur. It's unknown why they would push the unveiling that far, but they may be putting some extra polish on the game and didn't want to unveil it just yet.
More news as well as the results of the popularity polls can be found in the full story.
A new Director's Corner Video has been added to the official minisite for Tales of VS. on Tales Channel, the Japanese hub for the Tales of series. The game will pit the various Tales of characters in a fighting free-for-all, using their well-known Artes, locations from the different games, and even items from the various games, as well as each character's unique Mystic Arte.
It seems to be, once again, a standard combo showing off video, this time featuring Colette pounding Yuri into the ground with her attacks, and then Lloyd and Eugene sparring off against one another, ending with Lloyd's Mystic Arte.
Lloyd Irving (Tales of Symphonia), Senel Coolidge (Tales of Legendia), Tear Grants (Tales of the Abyss), Rita Mordio (Tales of Vesperia) and Colette Brunel (Tales of Symphonia) have all been officially revealed to be in Tales of VS in one massive update to the official minisite on Tales Channel, Namco Bandai's hub for Tales series updates in Japan. The game will pit the various Tales of characters in a fighting free-for-all, using their well-known Artes, locations from the different games, and even items from the various games, as well as each character's unique Mystic Arte.
The two male updates consist of Lloyd Irving and Senel Coolidge. Lloyd retains his Mystic Arte from Tales of Symphonia, Falcon's Crest. As can be seen in the video, he combines his two swords to form the Eternal Sword and then performs the Mystic Arte. Senel uses Lord of Creation, which was one of his higher-tier attacks in Tales of Legendia. Not surprisingly, most of his attacks are throwing-based.
More information, as well as the videos, can be found in the full story.
A new scan from the new issue of Weekly Shonen Jump has officially revealed six more of the characters that will be appearing in Tales of VS. on the PlayStation Portable. The game will pit the various Tales of characters in a fighting free-for-all, using their well-known Artes, locations from the different games, and even items from the various games, as well as each character's unique Mystic Arte.
Lloyd Irving and Colette Brunel, both of which were shown in one of the game's chats in an earlier scan, have been officially announced in this issue. The remaining four (Senel Coolidge, Kyle Dunamis, Tear Grants, and Rita Mordio) were never revealed up to this point. No other information was revealed in the scan.
Six more characters have been revealed to be in the upcoming Tales of VS. for the PlayStation Portable (PSP), which will pit the various Tales of characters in a fighting free-for-all, using their well-known Artes, locations from the different games, and even items from the various games, as well as each character's unique Mystic Arte.
Jade Curtiss (Tales of the Abyss), Nanaly Fletch (Tales of Destiny 2), and Arche Klaine (Tales of Phantasia) have been confirmed directly in the scan. We can also assume Lloyd Irving and Colette Brunel (both from Tales of Symphonia) will also be present, since their skit faces are included in a screenshot from the main game (not the Narikiri Dungeon-like mini game). The scan also seems to hint at a multiplayer mode being present (which was assumed due to the premise of the game).
