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.
Nanaly Fletch (Tales of Destiny 2), Jade Curtiss (Tales of the Abyss), Philia Felice (Tales of Destiny) and Mao (Tales of Rebirth) have been officially revealed to be in Tales of VS. 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.
All four character videos follow the same patterns as the ones before --- showing off some combo attacks, followed by their own personal Mystic Arte. Nanaly Fletch will have Wild Geese, Jade Curtiss will have Mystic Cage, Philia Felice will have Sacred Penance, and Mao will have Inferno Drive.
Asch (Tales of the Abyss) and Ruca Milda (Tales of Innocence) have been officially revealed to be in Tales of VS, as well as a new video showing off the combos in the game. 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.
Asch and Ruca's videos were the standard fare as far as character videos are concerned, showing off their attacks and combos, followed by their respective Mystic Artes at the end of the video. One of the more interesting updates, however, came from that character that fell on the index page a few updates ago. It appears it is a representation of the game's director. This section will be used as a Director's Corner, which will have specialized updates, most of which will be combo videos. The video available in this update shows the intricacies of the combo system in the game, which will take cues from the previous Tales of games.
More information, as well as the videos, can be found in the full story.
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).
