Tales of Xillia's Fourth Trailer Up Along With New System Videos

XilliaPS3 by Shawn

Last week Namco Bandai announced that this week would feature Tales of Xillia's fourth trailer alongside a new system video. We got both today but we also got two other videos showcasing even more of the game's numerous features.

Tales of Xillia will utilize the contrast between light and shadow, which will lead to the game having a different art style direction than Vesperia's anime-style graphics or Graces's watercolor-style graphics (it could be more of a hand-painted or oil painting-like feel if the concept artwork is any indication). Baba stated that when he saw some of the concept artwork images running on actual hardware he was very impressed.

As expected the fourth trailer revolves around Jude. We get to see some of that white-haired woman from the boxart but the trailer doesn't reveal much about her other than the fact that she's related to Jude to some degree.

Get Your First Look At Tales of the Abyss In English

Abyss (3DS)3DS by Shawn

Namco Bandai's community manager Filthierich said earlier this week that some form of Tales news would be released during Comic-Con 2011 and it looks like that news has come forth in the form of a new trailer and localized screenshots for Tales of the Abyss 3DS.

Tales of the Abyss was originally released on the PS2 on December 15, 2005 and was localized in North America on October 10, 2006. The game was regarded as an improvement over Tales of Symphonia, extending that game's multi-line battle system into a battle system which allows players to freely move about the field in battle.

Third Tales of Xillia Trailer Now Released

XilliaPS3 by Shawn

Earlier this week, Namco Bandai announced that a third trailer for Tales of Xillia would be released on July 8, 2011. Today's that day, which means the trailer is now available. And let's just say it was worth the wait.

Tales of Xillia will utilize the contrast between light and shadow, which will lead to the game having a different art style direction than Vesperia's anime-style graphics or Graces's watercolor-style graphics (it could be more of a hand-painted or oil painting-like feel if the concept artwork is any indication). Baba stated that when he saw some of the concept artwork images running on actual hardware he was very impressed.

The third trailer, which comes in at a little over six minutes, showcases more about the characters and shows off the anime cutscenes. As usual, a skit can be found at the end of the video.

Keep on reading to find out more about the trailer and to see the trailer itself.

XilliaPS3 by Shawn

Earlier this month, Namco Bandai announced that two new trailers for Tales of Xillia would go up following the events of the recent Tales of Festival that took place over the last two days. Both trailers have just went up and we have an analysis of both of them.

The game will utilize the contrast between light and shadow, which will lead to the game having a different art style direction than Vesperia's anime-style graphics or Graces's watercolor-style graphics (it could be more of a hand-painted or oil painting-like feel if the concept artwork is any indication). Baba stated that when he saw some of the concept artwork images running on actual hardware he was very impressed.

XilliaPS3 by Shawn

No, we don't have a new trailer today for you to view, but we do have news on when the second Tales of Xillia trailer will be revealed. The last trailer, which was released back in December during the game's official reveal.

The game will utilize the contrast between light and shadow, which will lead to the game having a different art style direction than Vesperia's anime-style graphics or Graces's watercolor-style graphics (it could be more of a hand-painted or oil painting-like feel if the concept artwork is any indication). Baba stated that when he saw some of the concept artwork images running on actual hardware he was very impressed.

Tales of Xillia Trailer Now On Japanese PSN

XilliaPS3 by Shawn

Since the game's reveal and the later magazine spread, we haven't heard much about Tales of Xillia. While today's news isn't anything new, it does provide a nice treat for those who didn't have the skills to download the The streaming video of the game Namco Bandai put on the official website.

The game will utilize the contrast between light and shadow, which will lead to the game having a different art style direction than Vesperia's anime-style graphics or Graces's watercolor-style graphics (it could be more of a hand-painted or oil painting-like feel if the concept artwork is any indication). Baba stated that when he saw some of the concept artwork images running on actual hardware he was very impressed.

As of today, the first trailer for the game is now on the Japanese PlayStation Store and can be downloaded for free. It's exactly the same as the streaming trailer, just in an easy-to-view downloadable form. Tales of Xillia is set for a 2011 release in Japan. No word has been given on a North American or European release.

First Tales of Xillia Trailer Released

XilliaPS3 by Shawn

Right on cue with the website reveal, Namco Bandai has just released the first trailer for Tales of Xillia, and there's quite a bit of information in this one, unlike some of the previous reveal trailers for other games in the series. This follows the magazine scan leak just hours earlier.

The game will utilize the contrast between light and shadow, which will lead to the game having a different art style direction than Vesperia's anime-style graphics or Graces's watercolor-style graphics (it could be more of a hand-painted or oil painting-like feel if the concept artwork is any indication). Baba stated that when he saw some of the concept artwork images running on actual hardware he was very impressed.

The graphics look quite impressive and appear to build off of Tales of Vesperia's improvements, but this time with a fair bit more effort put into the game's environment. In battle, it looks like aspects of Team Destiny's battle system, such as Around Step, are taking part, with the male character at one disappearing and reappearing behind an enemy. The male and female main characters can also combine their Artes together, a first for the series.

The trailer also reveals that ufotable, not Production I.G., will be in charge of the animated cutscenes. Motoi Sakuraba, the composer for the majority of the titles in the series, will be solely retaining his role.

Third TotW: Radiant Mythology 3 Trailer Released

Radiant Mythology 3PSP by Shawn

After yesterday's giant scan reveal, one might have thought that was all Namco Bandai was set to reveal until the character videos on Friday. But the company has just released the third official trailer for the game, which has been showing in Japanese gaming shops as of late.

Tales of the World: Radiant Mythology 3 is the third game in the Radiant Mythology series, which brings together Tales characters from many of the games in the long-running series. The third entry features 30 more characters for a total of 80 (with 76 of them being playable), an enhanced character creation tool, a data install option and a brand new aerial-view camera angle.

For those who remember the second trailer, this one is very similar, except for the characters giving the introductions. This trailer introduces Judas (Destiny 2), Marta Lualdi (Dawn of the New World), Sophie (Graces) and Will Raynard (Legendia).

Tales of the World: Radiant Mythology 3 is set to be released for the PSP on February 10, 2011 in Japan. No word on an North American or European release.

Keep on reading to see the new trailer.
