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.

Tales of Xillia will be released on September 8 in Japan exclusively on the PS3. No word has been given on a North American or European release.
