Just when you thought there wasn't enough DLC Tales of Vesperia costumes, Namco Bandai has announced more. Since the release of Tales of Vesperia on the PS3 in September 2009, the company has released a various assortment of costumes, ranging from cameos of earlier Tales of games to cameos of older Namco Bandai properties.

This latest batch don't seem to have to do with either one, instead being called the "strongest" costumes. From the pictures shown, it looks like these costumes could be considered as high-level, flashy variations of their normal costumes (think of it as a class change for each character).

Each costume will be released on February 10, 2010 for 300 Yen a piece in Japan. No word has been announced on an localization for either North America or Japan.

Patty Fleur Summons Barbatos in Tales of Vesperia

Just when you thought there wasn't anything left to reveal in Tales of Vesperia PS3, a new partial scan has revealed a odd new wrinkle to Patty Fleur's Mystic Arte, which was revealed in the trailer released a week or so ago. 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.

As you can see, Patty Fleur's Mystic Arte has her run across a circular game board and depending on where she lands, different outcomes will be determined, such as Barbatos Goetia (from Tales of Destiny 2). It is unknown exactly what he does when he is summoned, however, it isn't the real Barbatos that is summoned (it's a fake of sorts).

Tales of Vesperia PS3: More New Additions

Partial scans have just revealed a new Arte for Flynn Scifo and a new attachment for Repede, as well as more information on Karol's Sgt. Frog costume title. 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.

Flynn's new Arte seems to have something to do with the words light and fracture (we're working on getting a proper translation). As for Repede, he will have a new attachment that is a combination of all of the individual Overdrive dolls that he could collect in the game (including the new PS3-exclusive character, Patty Fleur).

It also seems Karol's Sgt. Frog title will be available via PlayStation Network for 500 Yen as a separate download on the same day the game is released.
