[ClesStahn]

*at the headquarters of NB*

Executive 1 "What big name titles are coming out this fall in Japan?"
Executive 2 "A new monster hunter is coming out"
Executive 1 "Have our newest Tales come out the day after it!"
Executive 2 "Alright and what about the price"
Executive 1 "Lets price it at $100 so we make a ton of profit off it!"
Executive 2 "What if it doesn't live up to sales expectations?"
Executive 1 "We'll just shift numbers from the upcoming sales of SFXTekken or TekkenXSF to the Tales sheets"
Executive 2 "What about an English release?"
Executive 1 "No way, we'll never make money in the US/PAL regions"

Ange's in! That makes me happy. I wonder who else they're going to add. I find it weird that they'd have Asbel but not Chelia, and Kohaku but not Shing. Hopefully, that's going to change. They also have a second trailer. It says there's going to be EIGHTY Tales characters, and even more new faces, outside of Ange, are Loni, Rita, and Hisui. They're going to have the other two Kanonnos, too. I'm not even joking. There's a little screen with gameplay footage that shows three of them in battle.

I'm going to guess they'll still be in the game, I have a hard time imagining them cutting characters (Shing was in RM2 correct?)

[Wildwurger]

No, he wasn't. Didn't Hearts and RM2 come out something like a month and a half apart?

I hope Yuri has his whole moveset. Some of his Altered Artes could be Higis (Master Artes). Man, now that Judith and Loni are in, I'm hoping that there's an actual Lancer class for the Descender. It wouldn't be particularly-difficult to graft a moveset together from theirs and Eugene's.

[BassForever]

My bad I'm thinking Tales of VS

The RM3 site's updating a bit, and it seems like, at this point, everyone has a mystic arte. Mao and Suzu, who didn't have one in RM2, have one now. Norma has one, even though Legendia didn't have them at all. They've got Loni's video up, and his mystic arte for this game is Final Prayer.

Demo for Tales of Graces F is out on the Japanese PSN for those that set up an account.

Too bad I refuse to upgrade my PS3 firmware past 3.41 for the time being.

Hoping Jailbreak will allow fan translations of games that didn't come over like this one most likely?

Same here; it's not like you need to update your system to play other game anyways. Also I dont touch the only online; if I need to I just go over friend and use his ^_^

Hoping Jailbreak will allow fan translations of games that didn't come over like this one most likely?

Indeed; wait patiently for jailbreak to grow before I can trust them. Right now what caught my eye is to upload the game on External just like the wii USBloader and load it with a backup manager on PS3; another thing that caught my eyes is a Russian hacker who claim that he can add PSP game on too and play PSP game on PS3. Dont know if it's fake or not but only time will tell and hopefully someone hack so that you can play PS2 game as well.

Radiant Mythology 3 site updated. They're just showing vids of Rita, Reid, Hisui, and Arche. Arche's Mystic Arte is Big Bang. I'm liking that everyone's going to have an MA. It means I'll change up my party more often. Not having an MA in RM2 was a pretty big strike (considering it was difficult to do ground combos against the last boss).

I updated my PS3. I don't care. I want to play RE5 with my friend and get DLC for Idea Factory games to save hours and hours of material-grinding.

The PS3's firmware has a PSP emulator (that's how it runs the Minis), so it makes sense.

Radiant Mythology 3 site updated again.

Meredy and Raven are playable. Raven's Mystic Arte is Blast Heart, and Meredy's is Shadow. There're still character slots to be filled (11 new characters so far, I think). Also, one of the last updates pointed out that Ange is your mission-giver, which likely means she'll be playable from the start.

Well, they have all but one of the Eternia cast in. I don't really care if Max gets in or not. I never used him or Chat. I just never felt like there was a situation where either of them would be a better choice than the first four characters.

Aqua Spiral is the win button in Eternia, though.

[Kajitani-Eizan]

yeah uh, him and chat both had incredibly broken moves. (aqua spiral/elemental master and eternal hammer)

[Wildwurger]

Aqua Spiral is the win button in Eternia, though.

I didn't know that back then (2002-ish). But then, I didn't know a whole lot about how to play Tales, and probably approached it from a different angle, such that I didn't even see that there was even such a thing as "win button". Not like it would've mattered. I don't like to use win buttons unless the game is too difficult for me otherwise (a rare occurance). Sometimes it matches up with my playstyle, but most of the time it doesn't.

such is life, etc etc insert philosophical crap here
