On the eve of the release of Tales of Graces in Japan, Namco Bandai has added a new video showcasing the Tales of Vesperia costumes that can be worn by Asbel, Sophie, and Cheria.
This game is the first mothership (Namco Bandai's term for non-spin-off games in the Tales of series) game for the Wii. The previous Tales of game for the Wii, Tales of Symphonia: Dawn of the New World, was classified as a spin-off sequel.
New school-themed downloadable costumes for Tales of Vesperia have just been revealed. The game has numerous changes, such as a brand new character, Patty Fleur, the addition of new bosses like the Sword Dancer, Flynn being playable for more that just one battle, among other changes. The game will also be fully voiced and will include new and altered scenes, such as Yuri fighting Don Whitehorse when the party visits Keiv Moc.
The titles will be available for download on the PlayStation Network on October 29th, 2009. The price for the titles is currently unknown, however.
Another scan for Tales of Vesperia PS3 has been released, which reveals more cameo costumes and new additions in the coliseum. The game has numerous changes, such as a brand new character, Patty Fleur, the addition of new bosses like the Sword Dancer, Flynn being playable for more that just one battle, among other changes. The game will also be fully voiced and will include new and altered scenes, such as Yuri fighting Don Whitehorse when the party visits Keiv Moc.
First off is the new costumes. Yuri Lowell will get a costumed themed after Judas (Tales of Destiny 2), which could be slightly seen in the previous scans that revealed Estelle's Chloe cameo costume. Also, Repede will get a costume themed after Caius (Tales of the Tempest) and Rita will be getting a costume themed after Mao (Tales of Rebirth).
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.
Like most of the videos, this iteration shows off Presea Combatir (Tales of Symphonia) sparring off against Rita Mordio (Tales of Vesperia). The director uses Presea's attacks to knock Rita into the air, then uses Artes to keep juggling her until he knocks her to the other side of the arena.
Later, Judith (Tales of Vesperia) spars off against Shing Meteoryte (Tales of Hearts). The director uses Judith's attacks to knock Shing into the air, then uses her aerial Artes to keep him in the air until he ends with a Mystic Arte (if you remember, Judith excelled at aerial combat in Tales of Vesperia).
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.
