Tales of VS: More Director's Corner Video

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.

As always, this is a combo video. First off is Director as Barbatos Goetia (Tales of Destiny 2) going up against Dhaos (Tales of Phantasia). He strings together a series of attacks followed by Genocide Braver, which sends Dhaos away but allows the Director to get close to him, repeating the combo over again.

The second half is the Director as Kohak Hearts going up against Shing Meteoryte (both from Tales of Hearts). He strings together some attacks and Artes to throw Shing into the air, then goes into Over Limit and uses Kohak's Mystic Arte, sending Shing downwards to the bottom of the stage.

The video can be found in the full story.

Tales of VS: Five More Character Videos

Caius Qualls (Tales of the Tempest), Farah Oersted (Tales of Eternia), Iria Animi (Tales of Innocence), Kohak Hearts (Tales of Hearts) and Mint Adenade (Tales of Phantasia) have all been officially added 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 sole male update consists of Caius Qualls. Caius retains his Mystic Arte from Tales of the World: Radiant Mythology 2, Beast Blow. One of the females playable in the game is Farah Oersted, which uses the Mystic Arte, Flame Dance.

The other three female updates consist of Iria Animi, Kohak Hearts, and Mint Adenade. Iria's Mystic Arte is Ruined Vain Wish, Kohak uses Final Fury (this is what it has been translated as in other games), and Mint's is Time Stop.

The videos can be found after the break.

Tales of VS: Two More Characters Plus Enhanced Special Attacks

A new Weekly Shonen Jump Tales of VS. scan has been released, revealing that Farah Oersted (Tales of Eternia) and Caius Qualls (Tales of the Tempest) will be playable characters, dual Mystic Artes, and some more information about the Tales of Wallbreaker minigame included within Tales of VS.

The first bit of news comes from the upper left-hand corner, which tells that the Tales of Wallbreaker minigame will require players to play through main story mode once to unlock it. Next up, below the Wallbreaker screens, is a new addition to game, dual Mystic Artes. It appears if you time your overlimit with another team member, both players will execute their Mystic Artes together for extra damage. Next up is at the top-middle, which shows that some of the Tales of characters will need to be unlocked via Story Mode (unknown if it also works like Super Smash Bros. where they unlock via a set number of VS matches). The scan also validates the Kohak Hearts (Tales of Hearts) leak from earlier, which assures that Mint Adnade (Tales of Phantasia) will also be revealed soon via a scan.

A big thanks goes to throughhim413 from Absolute Zero Translations for the scan translations.

Tales of VS: Mint And Kohak Confirmed

Thanks to an image from Amazon.com's servers, it has been confirmed that Mint Adenade (Tales of Phantasia) and Kohak Hearts (Tales of Hearts) will be playable in Tales of VS. Since this image was hosted on Amazon.com's servers, all signs point to it being legit. It is likely that either a magazine scan or a future Tales Channel update will "officially" reveal the two characters.

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.
