Tales of Destiny PS2, Tales of Phantasia PSP "Full Voice Edition", TotW PSP

[Cless]

I guess the Destiny 2 remake is a go. Not sure what ToP "Full voice edition" is. A port of the PSX ToP with full voice acting? Not sure what the TotW title is.

This is what 2ch is saying, anyway.



EDIT: Screens from famitsu.com (why the hell hasn't Tales channel updated yet?)

ToD's battle system is the Aerial LMBS.

Well, I'm happy for the Destiny remake. I look forward to seeing which battle system it'll use, or if it'll go its own way.

Not so happy that I don't have a PSP for the new Tales of the World and ToP.

*looks at time* 7:21 AM, and I haven't slept yet. Well, this excitement will keep me awake for a few hours, then I'll quickly collapse on my bed. >_>

My post from the other topic:

Tales of the Ear? o_O

Phantasia is getting yet another remake on the PSP...?

[Cless]

I think that might be "year."

[Kogahazan]

You're most likely right, thanks. Makes more sense. Bleh, I'm still not used to all the things katakana can say...

Where did you find that information Cless?

A slightly better version of the scan, the upper l eft is an  overworld shot and even with the blurrines it looks l ike a vast improvement over the original...I think the next one over's a battle pic and I'm not sure what the ones past that are because of the fold

Well, I can't really see the screenshots for the Tales of Destiny remake.  Either way, yahoo!  A Tales of Destiny remake!  I'm so happy my wish has come true!

Another Tales of Phantasia remake?  They really love remaking that game, don't they?  Well, the only thing I have to say is...maybe it won't be as awful as the GBA version.

Well, I can't see everything else about that scan either.

[Magicpaint]

The scan says Tales of Year, ha ha, so true.

The announcements are alright I suppose, but nothing truly exciting imo. I am looking forward to the Tales of Destiny remake the most though.

I'm dying to see more about this ToD remake myself. The orignal game had TONS of flaws that majorly brought down my enjoyment of it. And it'll be nice to see it completely revamped with modern Tales traditions.

I actually secretly wish to see another ToP remake. The PSX version WAS a major, major milestone as far as evolving the series for its time, introducing a ton of things that are still in common use (and refined upon) today. But now it really shows its age, especially in the battle system department. What I would give to see it at least upgraded with an Eternia-like engine. But I'm getting the vibe that the PSP version is just going to be a perfect port of the PSX version except with more voice acted lines (gimmicky and unnecessary, IMO), possibly all the extras the GBA version added, and maybe some other little extras. One of the screenshots I can barely make out looks exactly like the Martel scene at the beginning of ToP PSX.

All the other Tales after that were developed after ToP PSX still hold up extremely well, and don't need remakes. Eternia perfected the basic Tales engine, IMO.

Sweet! ToD-PS2 is a reality! This is going to be awesome. I should try getting it even if it ends up not getting localised, it's just a dream-come-true.

TotW and ToP for PSP... I'll never be getting that console, but it will be interesting to see what those will be like. I'm guessing ToP-PSP will be just like ToP-PSX with maybe the Arsia sidequest added, as well as voice acting for all plot events.

TotW could be anything, like a ToF Vol.2 (or Vol.3 due to the Mobile Tales having used "Vol.2" for Craymel Lab and such), or another Narikiri Dungeon (doubtful), or something else entirely. Another Summoner's Lineage kind of game? (Different 'battle' system, cameos, quasi-sequel, etc) Hrm.


Exciting indeed. Even after being jaded by too-much-TeiChan-Updates from recent years.
[Edit] Oops, spent too long typing this post out, Cless' post just made some of mine redundant. Oh well. XD

Hurry up, Teichan, I want legible info and non-crap pics~

Unless they're gonna change the plot to fix the plot holes with ToS or something weird like that, I don't see much point in another ToP port. Maybe they're just trying to appoligize for ToP-GBA. Judging by the picture (the little one; dunno how you see a thing in the big one, Judas), they're putting a little more effort into this one, if only out of necessity. That battle screenshot looks like they changed the HP/TP display to something more like ToE-and-onward Tales have used, which I guess they kind of have to due to the PSP's screen shape.

But as much as I'd like to get every single Tales game, I think I'm going to sit the PSP ones out, at least until the PSP because obsolete. If the TotW is another crossover, I might never bother.

A slightly better version of the scan, the upper l eft is an  overworld shot and even with the blurrines it looks l ike a vast improvement over the original...

You mean upper-right? The upper-left looks like its in town to me. (Looks very ToR like, though that doesn't mean it's not rendered 3D.)

Yeah, ToD has a bunch of dummied-out stuff, doesn't it? They probably had a bunch of ideas they didn't get to implement in the original version.

The PSX version WAS a major, major milestone as far as evolving the series for its time, introducing a ton of things that are still in common use (and refined upon) today. But now it really shows its age, especially in the battle system department.

Even with the age in mind, I never liked it much (though I appreciate the advancement it made toward the gameplay in the rest of the series).

Here are some images with slightly better quality...

[Cyllya]

Looks like ToD is going to have a graphic style like ToR.

[Cless Aileron]

When I wished for a Tales of Destiny remake, I was hoping for 2D graphics style to go with its Tales of Destiny 2 breather-en and it looks like I got just what I wanted.  Either way, Tales of Destiny is getting remade and I'm happy.
